England Rugby League head coach Brian McDermott has addressed the team's strategic direction heading into the Rugby League World Cup. McDermott emphasized that while the team is looking to evolve, they will not be chasing radical changes or abandoning their established foundations.

Instead, the focus for the tournament is to develop a "point of difference" in their tactical approach. By implementing a new playing style, the coaching staff aims to provide the team with a unique competitive edge against international opponents. McDermott’s comments suggest a balance between maintaining team stability and the necessity of tactical innovation to succeed on the world stage. The team is currently working to integrate these adjustments as they prepare for their upcoming fixtures.
