Brian McDermott praises "marvellous" Kevin Sinfield

By , Reporter
Leeds Rhinos coach Brian McDermott praises Kevin Sinfield's "marvellous career" after the centre became the third-highest scoring player of all time.

Brian McDermott has described Kevin Sinfield as "marvellous" after he climbed above Gus Risman in the all-time points-scorers list in rugby league.

The captain added a try and six kicks during the 36-16 win over Hull Kingston Rovers in Super League last night, taking his points tally to 4,062.

The coach told BBC Sport: "This is probably the 20th time I've spoken about Kev's milestones and you never get bored of speaking about them.

"I don't think he ever gets bored of achieving them. It's fantastic isn't it? What a marvellous career he's having."

Former Wakefield Trinity Wildcats and Bradford Bulls center Neil Fox holds the record outright with 6,220 points.
