Star performer: Michael Worrincy Deadlinepix SP11398

Coach Brian McDermott has demanded greater consistency from his Harlequins RL side as they look to arrest their recent slide down the Super League table.

A last-gasp Good Friday 24-22 home defeat by Catalan Dragons was followed by a frustrating 32-24 reverse by Bradford on Easter Monday, meaning Quins have lost their past three games.

But despite the setbacks, McDermott felt there were postives to take out of both matches.

"The first half against Catalans was good and the second half very poor," he said.

"Against Bradford it was first half poor and second half good.

"If we can join those together we will be a good team.

"The Easter period has gone and we haven't picked up any points.

"But I am not concerned with that.

"I am concerned about how we're playing and for patches we were very good."

Monday's defeat at the Grattan Stadium came after Quins made a horror start which saw them trail 18-0 after just 12 minutes.

A determined fightback saw tries from Michael Worrincy (two), Henry Paul and Dwayne Barker run the Bulls close.

McDermott, a former Bradford player, admitted the opening burst had left him seething on the sidelines.

He added: "The first 10 minutes killed it.

"We didn't seem to have any resistance near our try-line, which hacked me off because that is what we are good at.

"When we got in the groove in the second half Bradford never looked like scoring."

One major plus point for the Quins boss though was the display of Worrincy.

With Scott Hill likely to miss Saturday's trip to Warrington with an arm injury, McDermott is pleased with the way his young guns are stepping up.

"The Easter games were real games for the young players," he said.

"Michael put in a real good shift for us tonight.

"I am a little bit wary of carried away, but Michael really can be as good as he wants to be."
