Wakefield coach Richard Agar defended new signing Justin Poore after he was sent off 20 minutes into his debut.
The Leeds boss also praised acting captain Danny McGuire while new faces Joe Vickery and Joel Moon also caught the eye on Leeds' new £1million pitch. "Magsy was brilliant," McDermott said. "He led from the front and managed the game really well. "I thought Joe Vickery had a good start. He found himself in the clear a couple of times and backed himself, which was good to see. "Mich Achurch looked pretty strong and Joel Moon had a good solid game as well."
