NEW boy Adam Quinlan may have enjoyed a dream debut after a whirlwind first week in St Helens – but now his focus switches to building on that start in Thursday night’s game at Warrington.

The 22-year-old, who Saints snapped up until the end of the season from Parramatta, showed rapid footwork, an eye for the gap and good insight as to where to run to score a hat-trick in the win over Huddersfield.

Described by coach Keiron Cunningham as “unassuming”, Quinlan’s first interview on Monday underlined that.

He said: “It was a dream debut but I think the ball just bounced my way.

“I never expected that at all coming in. More importantly we got the two points and the victory.

“Credit to the lads, they created the opportunities for me and I got on the back of them.”

Although Quinlan made his NRL debut with St George in 2013, he has not appeared in the top flight with Parramatta this season a so was only too happy to come to England.

“The club asked me if I wanted to come over for the rest of the season and when I looked at the opportunity it was pretty much a no brainer,” he said.

“It happened quickly, I was here in a week and then I was playing.

“A few people have told me I am the seventh full back at the club this year - hopefully I will be the last one.

“Everyone has been very welcoming and my first game went well. The atmosphere was outstanding too and I’m really excited to be here for the rest of the season.

“Huddersfield came here to play but our D wasn’t where it needs to be. We are looking to turn it around this week.

“I know there are things I could have done better in my first game and I’m working on that too.

“It will be a tough game but we will come in prepared.”
