Catalans coach Mick Potter admitted Harlequins were unfortunate to lose their Super league encounter after the French side came back to win 18-16 in Cardiff.

The Dragons scored twice in the last 10 minutes to overturn a 16-6 deficit to maintain second place in the table, but Potter is aware his team must improve in certain areas.

"I'm very happy with the comeback but I thought the other team looked better than us for most of the game and probably deserved victory," Potter said.

"We weren't doing anything to break their line. We weren't finishing our sets off very well and I thought they were all over us in most aspects of the game.

"The interception against the run of play put us back in the game and Thomas Bosc came up with a fantastic play for Murphy to score.

"Brian Mac will be wondering what his team need to do to win a game because I thought they were unlucky last week as well."

However, McDermott denied his team deserved the points, instead questioning his players' commitment.

"I'm asking some questions about whether the whole bit of being in London works," he said.

"I'm asking about the travel and the fact that they're all living away from home. I'm asking some questions and I don't know the answers.

"I'm asking everybody, me included. I'm starting to ask questions on whether the boys are enjoying living in London too much or they're enjoying rugby league first and foremost."
