Carney slams McDermott decision

Brian Carney believes that England have missed out on a great coach after Leeds boss Brian McDermott was named coach of the United States.

McDermott would have been among the favourites to take over from Steve McNamara, whose contract expires after the Test series against New Zealand in the autumn.

McDermott admitted that he did think about the England role before accepting the role with the Hawks, which he will combine with his work at the Leeds Rhinos, but he feels McNamara is doing a good job and expects him to stay on in the longer term.

However, Carney disagrees and says that McNamara is the wrong man to coach England.
