It was all Lancashire yesterday. It is all Yorkshire today. We are into

:00:03.:00:13.
:00:13.:00:39.

the final furlong of the Carnegie Doncaster racecourse, home of

:00:39.:00:43.

racing's all this classic, the St Leger, which takes place in a month,

:00:43.:00:48.

but the focus this weekend is down the road at the Keepmoat Stadium

:00:48.:00:52.

way to Yorkshire club's come head- to-head in the second of this

:00:52.:00:57.

weekend's Challenge Cup semi-finals. It is the big city of Leeds against

:00:57.:01:01.

their Soltan neighbours Castleford, and the first past the line will

:01:01.:01:06.

win the right to face the Wigan at Wembley in rugby league's of his

:01:06.:01:16.
:01:16.:01:16.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds

:01:16.:02:15.

It is 25 years since Castleford last won the Cup against Hull KR.

:02:16.:02:19.

And this year there have been wearing a shirt commemorating that

:02:19.:02:23.

victory. Could it be a good luck charm? Coach Terry Matterson

:02:23.:02:28.

suddenly hope so. -- certainly. He's taking -- banking on Danny Orr

:02:28.:02:34.

to inspire them to Wembley. He has good views as well in that Rangi

:02:34.:02:37.

Chase are definitely plays. As for Rhinos, they have all the right

:02:37.:02:41.

moves. This is their ninth semi- final in 12 years but they have not

:02:41.:02:46.

won for 12 years ago. That last success was back in 1999 and since

:02:46.:02:51.

then they have lost four Cup finals despite being crowned champions

:02:51.:02:58.

four times. Their coach is desperate to get the Cup back to

:02:58.:03:01.

Headingley and he has an experienced squad on which to call.

:03:01.:03:06.

The fans will have been saying to themselves, our side are just 80

:03:06.:03:12.

minutes away from Wembley. Wigan await in the final. Coach Terry

:03:12.:03:17.

Matterson knows his players are up to the challenge. Danny Orr will be

:03:17.:03:23.

key, so, too, will be Rangi Chase. Fans on both sides extremely vocal

:03:23.:03:27.

and they will share their passion whatever age they are. Brian

:03:27.:03:30.

McDermott are looking to his players, including Kevin Sinfield,

:03:30.:03:36.

to produce some form of consistency. Jamie Peacock are rare, the England

:03:36.:03:39.

captain, and Rob Burrow, who looks as though he has had a bit of a

:03:39.:03:46.

haircut. There is the Racecourse two miles away. There is a big

:03:46.:03:49.

tattooed jam going on there. A number of the players have tattoos

:03:49.:03:54.

as well, with words of inspiration. They will need inspiration today.

:03:54.:04:01.

You can wear whatever outfit you like. They will -- there is a fun

:04:01.:04:05.

atmosphere here today. It is Castleford Tigers against Leeds

:04:05.:04:12.

Rhinos. I would like to say, about my pronunciation of Castleford, I

:04:13.:04:16.

do say in Windsor Castle, so I say castle that. We have plenty of

:04:16.:04:22.

variety. Justin, leaves are hot favourites for this but not

:04:22.:04:29.

certainties? Now, and consistency has been an issue this year. The

:04:30.:04:35.

form going into the game is similar for both teams. As you mentioned in

:04:35.:04:41.

the build-up, Rangi Chase and Orr are key then for Castleford.

:04:41.:04:46.

the talk this week about Rangi Chase. Has it been a mind-games?

:04:46.:04:50.

little bit of cloak-and-dagger, Schon what homes. But the reality

:04:50.:04:54.

of all of that, they have no all week that he is going to be in the

:04:54.:04:58.

team. He has trained all week. Number six for Castleford and a

:04:58.:05:06.

huge player. His play has been terrific or year. He has a great

:05:06.:05:10.

complementary couple of people with him as well. Ryan McGoldrick at

:05:10.:05:16.

fullback and Danny Orr, the experienced half-back. A great

:05:16.:05:19.

piece about Danny Orr in the programme and how much he wants to

:05:19.:05:22.

make a final with castle that. He did it with Wigan but will be

:05:22.:05:27.

desperate to do it for his home town. Whichever side wins today,

:05:27.:05:33.

that is who they will meet in the final, the most successful final --

:05:33.:05:43.
:05:43.:06:00.

fullback! Across the line it goes. Look at the overlap! And Carmont

:06:00.:06:10.
:06:10.:06:41.

my word! They didn't know where he Sam Tomkins somehow, somehow it

:06:41.:06:51.
:06:51.:06:51.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds

:06:51.:07:33.

himself. And the chance slips by. St Helens are finding a way back

:07:34.:07:43.

into this cup-tie. The countdown into the final few seconds. The

:07:43.:07:49.

hooter sounds and look what it means for those Wigan players. Sam

:07:49.:07:57.

Tomkins the local hero. To those in the terraces, it is a dream come

:07:57.:08:05.

CLARE BALDING: And Sam Tomkins was rightly the man of the match but a

:08:05.:08:09.

terrific effort from Wigan all across the team. St Helens really

:08:09.:08:14.

fought back but Wigan held on. Fair to say, Justin, but whoever makes

:08:14.:08:21.

the final against them, Wigan will still be the favourite to win?

:08:21.:08:28.

There was fantastic defence early on in the game. Whoever wins

:08:28.:08:32.

today's game will be going in as underdogs but it is a cup final and

:08:32.:08:37.

we will see what happens. You feel with Wigan that the machine is

:08:37.:08:41.

rolling? They are healthy. They're very physical at the moment. Notes

:08:41.:08:47.

that deed creeping in at all. Three or four players that did not play

:08:47.:08:53.

yesterday that could have played if needed. -- no fat Teague at all.

:08:53.:09:00.

Many people were a betting on them for the double. The players are in

:09:00.:09:06.

a huddle giving each other support. They have a huge challenge but they

:09:06.:09:09.

know this is a winnable match. Let's have a look at the teams'

:09:10.:09:18.

The Tigers' charge for the Challenge Cup gathered pace at

:09:18.:09:22.

Wakefield in the fifth round with a thrilling victory. Win and defeat

:09:22.:09:26.

followed before a stunning comeback against Wigan -- Wigan. Richie

:09:26.:09:30.

Mathers went in at the last minute to tie the game. One win and three

:09:30.:09:34.

losses later, there face Bradford at home and the comeback continued

:09:34.:09:38.

as Stuart Jones went over for the last score of the game, the first

:09:38.:09:43.

and Cas have led. The never-say-die attitude helped against Crusaders,

:09:43.:09:47.

winning in Wales. Victory over Huddersfield Giants in the

:09:47.:09:52.

Challenge Cup made it three wins on the bounce. An outstanding display

:09:52.:09:57.

from Rangi Chase could not stop a heavy defeat at home to inform

:09:57.:10:05.

Saints, though. They overcame Hull in the Challenge Cup quarter-finals.

:10:05.:10:09.

Last week's bring out Salford was all about Captain Kevin Sinfield.

:10:09.:10:14.

His five kicks ensured he is the current all-time Super League point

:10:14.:10:19.

scorer, one ahead of Paul Deacon. CLARE BALDING: These teams very

:10:19.:10:29.
:10:29.:10:31.

close in terms of what they have at the moment in sixth, Castleford

:10:31.:10:38.

right behind them in seventh a great job done by Terry Matterson.

:10:38.:10:44.

Their highest Super League finish, seventh in 2009, so they could yet

:10:44.:10:54.
:10:54.:10:54.

A wonderful, sunny day here. Let's find out what Castleford coach

:10:54.:10:58.

Terry Matterson -- Terry Matterson makes of it all.

:10:58.:11:04.

It is a long time since your team had a sniff at Wembley. There is a

:11:04.:11:10.

lot of excitement around the place. We are really looking forward to it.

:11:10.:11:15.

We have a mix of senior and younger players. You have been a Castleford

:11:15.:11:21.

for six years. How would you sum up the rivalry between them and the

:11:21.:11:26.

big city slickers of Leeds? It is as good as you get. They are a

:11:26.:11:28.

wonderful side and they have shown that with all the trophies they

:11:28.:11:35.

have won. It is a great rivalry and it has worked out perfectly with

:11:35.:11:39.

the semi-finals. What is happening with Rangi Chase? There was a

:11:39.:11:42.

suggestion he was going back to Australia for a quarter Biarritz.

:11:42.:11:50.

He was and it all was planned. for a court appearance. But we

:11:50.:11:56.

worked around it. When he found out he was going to play, he was over

:11:56.:11:58.

the moon. He was down after we beat Huddersfield because he thought he

:11:58.:12:01.

would not be here for the semi- final but we have worked their way

:12:01.:12:07.

around it and easier had key his people this afternoon? He is a

:12:07.:12:10.

massive key but we have other players that have to play their

:12:10.:12:18.

role. Good luck. Thank you. CLARE BALDING: And that is why

:12:18.:12:26.

Rangi Chase is a number one in our one to watch list. He is a youth

:12:26.:12:30.

player for them, Justin. He gets his hands on the ball more than

:12:30.:12:36.

most of backs in the game. He is very good at taking the line arm.

:12:36.:12:43.

As you can see there, fantastic, turning the players Inside Out. I

:12:43.:12:47.

watched the game against Wakefield a couple of rounds ago. It is

:12:47.:12:53.

important for him to stay composed today. He can pick and choose his

:12:53.:12:58.

time to inject himself into the game. There have been accusations

:12:58.:13:03.

for Cas been a bit of a one-man team, Ryan? That is extremely

:13:03.:13:11.

unfair. What they have to do is come together as 87 team. The other

:13:11.:13:18.

at 16 need Rangi Chase to show his price and win the game for them.

:13:18.:13:23.

Beat will he, won't he, play, I wonder if that isn't unsettling for

:13:23.:13:29.

the other players. I wonder if they had a plan from the off to find out

:13:29.:13:34.

what was going on with Rangi Chase. That would be an unsettling

:13:34.:13:39.

situation. They will have had one eye on Leeds. Let's have a good

:13:39.:13:44.

look at Leeds. They arrived fairly early and spent a lot of time in

:13:44.:13:49.

the changing room, all watching the TV screen in the corner. They were

:13:49.:13:53.

in silence. The team want to perform for Brian McDermott,

:13:53.:13:57.

because he has been under pressure, and every year these guys are so

:13:57.:14:05.

good. This collection of players have not yet won. We have been

:14:05.:14:08.

speaking to Damian Johnson. REPORTER: You have appeared in

:14:08.:14:12.

Challenge Cup finals as a player. What does it take to win a semi-

:14:12.:14:21.

final? Composure, control, do not lose your nerve, do not get too

:14:21.:14:24.

emotional and it is the steam -- team that stays the calmest.

:14:24.:14:27.

just saw your team watching a manner to in the dressing room.

:14:27.:14:31.

What were they doing? We missed Neighbours the night before so we

:14:31.:14:37.

thought we would catch up on it before kick-off. OK, your secret is

:14:37.:14:43.

safe! What is the plan today? Castleford, near-neighbours, a lot

:14:43.:14:46.

of emotion around the place, and they will be really up for this as

:14:46.:14:51.

the small-town club. They are your words, not mine. I do not think

:14:52.:14:56.

they are a small-town club. They are an exceptional team, the

:14:56.:15:02.

brothers in the league. That suggests they are better than us.

:15:02.:15:07.

They will be eaters today if we do not do what we have plant. We have

:15:07.:15:12.

a huge amount of respect for Castleford. They are a good club in

:15:12.:15:17.

the competition, so they definitely isn't a big city looking down on a

:15:17.:15:22.

small-town mentality from inside the dressing room. About Bobby

:15:22.:15:26.

burrow, potentially a game breaker on a day like this? -- Robert

:15:26.:15:32.

burrow. Yes, he has some attributes their back to the opposition will

:15:32.:15:37.

have to take care of. These fellows need to make sure they do what they

:15:37.:15:42.

planned to do so Burrow has some threat, as other players do on

:15:42.:15:45.

paper. We need to make sure we do it out there after the referee

:15:45.:15:55.
:15:55.:15:57.

Rob turned the game. A different some time of half. Rangi Chase more

:15:57.:16:02.

of a running threat. He won't open up the defence. What he does when

:16:02.:16:06.

he gets the ball is electric. He ducks under the line. Any broken

:16:06.:16:12.

field or anybody jumping out and he is gone. He is brilliant in the

:16:12.:16:17.

back field along with Danny McGuire. They have more support but once he

:16:17.:16:21.

in the clear he is quick. He is a Graham breaker in a different style

:16:21.:16:27.

to Rangi Chase. This time the decision to taken to put Danny

:16:27.:16:32.

McGuire on the bench. Depend if he come nons the half backs. The other

:16:32.:16:36.

players are big. They are two contrasting sides. While Rob

:16:36.:16:42.

burrows is one of the smallest players the rest of the side is big.

:16:42.:16:44.

Castleford have gone for a mobile side. It will be interesting to see

:16:44.:16:48.

how they match up today. What is your feeling about it? I'm not

:16:48.:16:51.

going to write Castleford off. They have a good chance, especially with

:16:51.:16:56.

Rangi Chase, he is a key player for them. If Leeds play to their

:16:56.:17:01.

potential, they should win the game on paper but they have been

:17:01.:17:04.

inconsistent at times this year. The psychology of the player,

:17:04.:17:07.

particularly in the Challenge Cup, interesting, I wonder what they

:17:07.:17:12.

were watching before. Would it have been a motivational video? It might

:17:12.:17:17.

have been something Castleford do, they want a remind er of. I doubt

:17:17.:17:22.

very much whether it is an emotional type of video. It may be,

:17:22.:17:25.

there maybe a change in mentality. They need to be focused on what

:17:25.:17:29.

they need to do on the field. Stay calm and composed. It will have

:17:29.:17:32.

been a couple of reminders to that effect. Interesting that Brian

:17:32.:17:35.

McDermott was wanting to play down the passion. We all watch their

:17:35.:17:41.

final at Wembley last year, I think we agreed they almost watched it --

:17:41.:17:47.

wanted it too much. He pensioned words like composure and being calm,

:17:47.:17:51.

but they stick 15 or 18,000 people in front yoif and there is an

:17:51.:17:55.

element of emotion you have to control, to be great players on the

:17:55.:17:58.

big stage you have to have that motion but you have to bottle it

:17:58.:18:03.

and put it out in the right places. It is a difficult balance. One of

:18:03.:18:06.

the Castleford key players will be Danny Orr, and he really

:18:06.:18:10.

desperately cares about this. He wants to go to Wembley with his

:18:10.:18:15.

home team town. He is a great kicker, he was seven-year-old when

:18:16.:18:19.

Castleford last won the Challenge Cup. He is 33 now. He knows what to

:18:19.:18:26.

do out there. He complimented Rangi Chase very well. He directs round

:18:26.:18:29.

the park very well. You have mentioned his kicking game. He has

:18:29.:18:35.

a short kicking game F the forwards can get forward and into that zone,

:18:35.:18:40.

he can put on a lot of good plays. He can sense when opposition teams

:18:40.:18:44.

retired. Again, if he comes to the game today, with his great kicking

:18:44.:18:48.

game, I think they are in a good chance of winning the semifinal

:18:48.:18:54.

today. What would you say is the perfect age for a rugby league

:18:54.:18:59.

player? Depends who it is. If you look at Steve Menzies at 38 he is

:18:59.:19:02.

going great. It is about how well you play. We have spoken about the

:19:02.:19:06.

emotion and who will be emotional. Danny Orr will be emotional and

:19:06.:19:10.

Brian will be emotional because they failed last week. I think it

:19:10.:19:14.

is about who performs on the day. It is an interesting one. Brian

:19:14.:19:17.

McDermott already in the stand, waiting for his players to appear.

:19:18.:19:22.

I wonder whether one of the unsung heroes of the team is Carl Ablett.

:19:22.:19:27.

He scored twice in the quarterfinal against Hull and he could be a big

:19:27.:19:31.

man today. You have billed him as the right person. He plays in the

:19:31.:19:36.

back or in the centre but he shows up and hits a hole as we say at the

:19:36.:19:41.

right time. He is a strong player. A physical player, he is reliable

:19:41.:19:45.

and comes up quick, he comes up with super plays at the right time.

:19:45.:19:50.

We had a low scoring first half yesterday. What would you predict

:19:50.:19:54.

today? I think Leeds are going to win. Their form going in is better

:19:54.:19:58.

than Castlefords. That is the element of physicalty. It is the

:19:58.:20:01.

team that controls the ball the better, the least mistakes, we talk

:20:01.:20:07.

about errors through the game, but however, I think Leeds, I can see

:20:07.:20:10.

Castleford winning it and I think there will be a lot more points in

:20:10.:20:14.

the first half than yesterday. I think plenty of points in the

:20:14.:20:19.

first half. It will be a close game. Might come down to the good ball

:20:19.:20:23.

kicking. It will be one hard to split. They are going to come out

:20:23.:20:27.

to bright sunshine here at the Keepmoat stadium and a roar from

:20:27.:20:31.

the crowd. The pitch in perfect condition, despite the fact

:20:31.:20:35.

Westfield played here last weekend. It should be a humdinger. The

:20:35.:20:42.

second of the Challenge Cup semifinals and your commentary team

:20:42.:20:45.

is here. The first Challenge Cup fixture between these great rivals

:20:45.:20:48.

in ten years and the first semifinal in 40 years. Little

:20:48.:20:54.

wonder this match has caught those fans' imagination. Plenty of

:20:54.:20:59.

experience in the two captain, Kevin Sinfield, prolific points

:20:59.:21:05.

scorer and dor in his 400 career game. All the speculation over

:21:05.:21:11.

Rangi Chase is over. Look out for McGoldrick and dor posing problems

:21:11.:21:15.

and Terry Matterson will expect work from Jackson and Parker to

:21:15.:21:25.
:21:25.:21:31.

create the space for those half off position. The Rhinos' captains

:21:31.:21:36.

place is filled by the 21-year-old Chris Clarkson, a player with

:21:36.:21:42.

plenty of promise. And on the interchange bench plenty of talent

:21:42.:21:52.
:21:52.:21:52.

but in Hudson and McGuire they have talent. The pitch apart from a

:21:52.:21:58.

little patch at the entrance, in excellent condition. Phil Ben tham

:21:58.:22:02.

a referee of some six years senior experience. Well, shielding his

:22:02.:22:06.

eyes from the sun John, it's a beautiful day out there. It is a

:22:06.:22:12.

beautiful day and it is a great staid -- stadium. Packed full.

:22:12.:22:17.

There the Rhinos colours to the left. The Castleford's to the right.

:22:17.:22:22.

There are two teams ready to go into battle. Two sets of gladiators

:22:22.:22:26.

with a massive prize at stake. we are under way. Castleford in the

:22:26.:22:36.
:22:36.:22:53.

the Castleford tigers but they have had plenty of battles in the past

:22:53.:23:03.
:23:03.:23:06.

with Leeds, always a great spirit trying to get away from that line.

:23:06.:23:15.

Plenty of experience in this Castleford pack. Jackson and Jones,

:23:15.:23:22.

Martin Aspinwall, all played at the Challenge Cup final before.. That

:23:22.:23:25.

was an excellent defensive set from the Leeds Rhinos. They restricted

:23:25.:23:29.

the yard damage of the Castleford forwards. Because they put all that

:23:29.:23:39.
:23:39.:23:44.

work in Rhinos start 40 metres away Wembley. 1999 since their last

:23:44.:23:54.
:23:54.:24:19.

lost it. Still going. He took it well.. He did initially, but

:24:19.:24:23.

Youngquest alert and on hand to help McGoldrick out, and

:24:23.:24:28.

interesting to see the first Leeds kick very much a high one. What a

:24:28.:24:38.
:24:38.:24:38.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds

:24:38.:25:20.

Danny Orr, just toe poking it along the ground, making Webb retreat

:25:20.:25:24.

into the corner. Three men in the tackle driving the Rhinos back.

:25:25.:25:29.

think in the early stages of any Challenge Cup game, position on the

:25:29.:25:33.

field is vital. It certainly is. It is a time when both sets of

:25:33.:25:40.

forwards really test each other out. That is what they are doing.

:25:40.:25:46.

Baderas looking for another willing pack member but he finds burrows

:25:46.:25:51.

who finds a forward in Delaney. Once a centre, now operating in the

:25:51.:26:01.

he has experience at full back. Beautiful ball! Dixon couldn't get

:26:24.:26:34.

away. Good tack thrl with Sinfield and Watkins. -- good tackle there.

:26:34.:26:44.
:26:44.:26:48.

Still Castleford on the attack. midfield. Not the best of passes

:26:48.:26:55.

there. No prop forward should be expected to put a final kick in.

:27:05.:27:11.

of that earlier.. That was a marvellous kick there but it was a

:27:11.:27:16.

scruffy end, that allowed it to be a fracture kick chase and didn't

:27:16.:27:20.

Jones-Bishop take advantage of this? He picked the players off and

:27:20.:27:30.

:27:41.:27:51.
:27:51.:27:53.

indicated, it is about field position. You look after the ball.

:27:53.:27:57.

You get a bit of field position and you play your way into games like

:27:57.:28:07.
:28:07.:28:13.

here. Good work by Youngquest. That quick play of the ball meant the

:28:13.:28:17.

markers weren't set and Dixon picked up and immediately took the

:28:17.:28:23.

yards and forced the marker Delaney to have to tackle him. Good work by

:28:23.:28:30.

Youngquest returning the ball from the Leeds's kick. All clubs looking

:28:30.:28:35.

for speed and momentum. Terrific kick!. Fortune favours the brave.

:28:35.:28:40.

They went for distance and it landed in the field of play, but

:28:40.:28:44.

skipped outside. It is a great place to start the set for

:28:44.:28:54.
:28:54.:29:21.

Castleford. Five metre s from that think it is about ripping the ball

:29:21.:29:26.

out there, the signal he gave.. Whatever, it is a penalty. He has

:29:26.:29:31.

given the ball exactly right there Ray. It is another set of six, in

:29:31.:29:35.

great field position, and as yesterday, it was St Helens putting

:29:35.:29:40.

Wigan under pressure. In the early parts of today it is Castleford

:29:40.:29:43.

putting the Leeds Rhinos under pressure. Rangi Chase calming

:29:43.:29:53.

people down with that little kick get over. Just held there on that

:30:06.:30:16.
:30:16.:30:34.

Rhinos, there. That was a shocking a sequence of passing by Castleford.

:30:35.:30:39.

Terry Matterson must be wondering what he has been coaching them for

:30:39.:30:46.

a week. Yes, there has been a lot of talk about composure and not

a penalty against Castleford for actually interfere with on the

chase and the referee there, judging that Danny Orr took the

player out, and didn't hesitate in tapping the ball and trying to turn

:35:37.:36:17.

I cannot understand why. -- ball play. I think it was Robert

:36:17.:36:27.
:36:27.:36:35.

took the ball, Brent Webb, sorry, took the ball. But a good called up

:36:35.:36:45.
:36:45.:36:49.

position there. I have got Dean Widders, the 18th man for

:36:50.:36:54.

Castleford first. What to do you make of their start? It has been

:36:54.:36:59.

pretty solid. Late in the half we can take advantage. There was it

:36:59.:37:08.

lack of composure in the Riaz' line. That is the nerves are coming out.

:37:08.:37:18.
:37:18.:37:18.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds

:37:18.:38:12.

Danny will steer the boys towards Jones-Buchanan avert might well

:38:12.:38:17.

have been thinking, can he get his arms a free for the offload? He was

:38:17.:38:22.

looking around the corner. I think he was trying to flick it in. But

:38:22.:38:27.

no doubt about it, it was a knock- on and once again, that error has

:38:27.:38:37.
:38:37.:38:37.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds

:38:37.:39:58.

Following the pattern of yesterday take that ball, not knowing what to

:39:58.:40:04.

do. He was in two minds. What was he going to do with it? It was all

:40:04.:40:09.

a little hesitant there. The final pass was not the best. Above his

:40:09.:40:13.

head but there was no purpose, no intent with that ball movement.

:40:13.:40:18.

They need to be a little direct so that they are buying a little bit

:40:18.:40:28.
:40:28.:40:28.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds

of space on the outside three first class skill from the

:41:28.:41:33.

youngster Ben Jones-Bishop. It was a teasing kick. Lots of pressure.

:41:33.:41:40.

There is a penalty for tackling while he was in the air but Ben

:41:40.:41:44.

Jones-Bishop are very much an Australian Rules player. What first

:41:44.:41:52.

class rugby league from the youngster on the wing backward. --

he was rolled back. Terrific defence there from castle that.

:43:03.:43:12.

They saved a certain four pointer! That took everyone by surprise that

:43:12.:43:22.
:43:22.:43:59.

was great online defence from the McGoldrick did really, really well

:43:59.:44:09.

to get under the ball and stop Buderus from scoring. Fascinating

:44:09.:44:16.

game at the minute, Ray. All those hours spent in the gymnasium, a

:44:16.:44:22.

weight lifting worth it there. He has a cut over the eye. A bit of a

:44:22.:44:28.

head clash of air between Ablett and Martin Aspinwall. A magnificent

:44:28.:44:36.

online tackle from McGoldrick. I agree with you, Ray, it is about

:44:36.:44:43.

the time spent in the gymnasium, and he was first class. I am

:44:43.:44:51.

speaking to Ali, who did not make the squad today. The boys are

:44:51.:44:56.

holding them up but it is a tough, par-4 game. Jamie Jones-Buchanan

:44:56.:45:06.
:45:06.:45:07.

got over the line. It is just a top game. We will see how it goes at

:45:07.:45:13.

the moment. What do Leeds have to do to take control? Try to hold

:45:13.:45:17.

onto position and give going forward and try to play them down

:45:17.:45:27.
:45:27.:45:56.

head clash! He has about four feet but it is off side. Martin

:45:56.:46:00.

Aspinwall, I don't think retreated back but we have Youngquest many in

:46:00.:46:04.

the background having treatment. Kevin Sinfield just got try and get

:46:04.:46:08.

some points on the score board. It is knock out rugby league Ray, the

:46:08.:46:13.

prize is massive. I doesn't matter whether you win by one point or 100

:46:13.:46:18.

points. It is Wembley at the prize. You have played this game John. You

:46:18.:46:22.

know 22 minutes after nil apiece it is worth going for a goal for

:46:22.:46:28.

confidence. It is worth going for a goal. It was Aspinall there off

:46:28.:46:34.

side from the overhead shot. A good call by the referee and Nick

:46:34.:46:40.

Youngquest, who is coming towards this sideline. He looks distinctly

:46:40.:46:46.

groggy, he has take an bad knock. He does. Kevin Sinfield and the

:46:46.:46:52.

record points scorer, goalscorer for Leeds, looking for two points.

:46:52.:46:56.

This match running very similar to yesterday, remember the first

:46:56.:47:06.
:47:06.:47:06.

points were a goal. And the first points today are a goal from the

:47:06.:47:13.

prolific scorer, Kevin Sinfield. And I think that two points to nil

:47:13.:47:18.

John, gives you an indication of both sides, that this is very tight.

:47:18.:47:22.

It is going to be very tight and even tighter. It will be and it

:47:22.:47:26.

could go down o the wire but you have to be prepared to win the game

:47:26.:47:31.

in minute 80s that is what is necessary. Just as Castleford tiger

:47:31.:47:38.

demonstrated earlier in the Cup against Wakefield Trinity Wildcats.

:47:38.:47:42.

Many might not say who not keep the momentum going, with this modern

:47:42.:47:47.

game. If you have two points on the board and you are lead, it is a

:47:47.:47:51.

massive confidence boost isn't it. It is knock out rugby league, that

:47:51.:47:54.

is the top and bottom. It is interesting to see Youngquest has

:47:54.:47:59.

been replaced by Willie Isa, that means that Kirk Dixon is pushed out

:47:59.:48:07.

on the wing and Isa has taken up the centre position. Jamie Jones-

:48:07.:48:12.

Buchanan, another one of the local academy players for Leeds. And

:48:12.:48:17.

Bailey getting through a lot of work, forcing his way down there.

:48:17.:48:27.
:48:27.:48:30.

But it is Sinfield who is a very difficult kick to tai,

:48:30.:48:35.

because it is spiralling in the trajectory, it dips all of a sudden.

:48:35.:48:40.

There is Willie Isa's first involvement. This Moz earn balls

:48:40.:48:45.

are so light aren't they. That is a great catch. It might be unorthodox

:48:45.:48:51.

but it was eye on the ball all the time. It was a really difficult

:48:51.:49:01.
:49:01.:49:22.

Leeds side -- Danny Orr keeping the pressure on this Leeds side. Some

:49:22.:49:26.

news Damian? Yes, oniest who came off with bang to the head p it was

:49:26.:49:30.

a blow to the temple. He is slightly disorientated. They are

:49:30.:49:35.

giving him a few moments to gather his senses. He is a part-time model.

:49:35.:49:39.

Sometimes doubt whether rugby league is the right career for him!

:49:39.:49:47.

Very very silly boy. Ferres there, lifting up, once the legs are above

:49:47.:49:51.

the horizontal that is a penalty. He knew when he had done it. He did.

:49:51.:49:56.

It was unnecessary that, because they had halted the momentum. They

:49:56.:50:00.

could have put him to the ground. It is the hand between the legs.

:50:00.:50:04.

Taking him past the horizontal and a poor kick there. Well, they have

:50:04.:50:08.

got away with it. You can see by the expression on his face, he

:50:08.:50:18.
:50:18.:50:30.

thought "What am I doing here?" the Leeds defence. Castleford

:50:30.:50:40.
:50:40.:51:05.

Webb. But he is hauled over the line. Oh terrific play by

:51:05.:51:10.

Castleford. Leeds will have to drop out. I was only thinking John,

:51:10.:51:18.

these high kicks to Leeds, in the likes of Brent Webb Bishop and

:51:18.:51:23.

Watkins, they are not big men. is the chase that is great there.

:51:23.:51:28.

It was a high kick and it is Jones there and Arundel who have worked

:51:28.:51:33.

so hard with the leg drive, see the leg drive, to push him over the

:51:33.:51:37.

ingoal area and that has earned Castleford a repeat set, another

:51:37.:51:47.
:51:47.:51:51.

set of six. Great defensive work Castleford. The fans on the terrace,

:51:51.:52:01.
:52:01.:52:05.

in yellow, in good voice, roaring sciched -- switched to Castleford

:52:05.:52:09.

since Leeds took that two points so it may be working against the

:52:09.:52:19.
:52:19.:52:39.

Rhinos. Here they are now. Moving work down this right hand channel.

:52:39.:52:44.

Good chance there for Willie Isa, just couldn't hold the ball. It was

:52:44.:52:49.

Baderas's last action before he is replaced by Danny McGuire. It will

:52:50.:52:57.

be interesting to see if he goes to dummy half. Thieth over the two

:52:57.:53:00.

sides, although they have forced their way down the middle. We are

:53:00.:53:05.

seeing a lot of good defence. Neither have any fluency in their

:53:05.:53:10.

play yet. It is very edgy, as we described yesterday. Very nervy.

:53:10.:53:20.
:53:20.:53:46.

This guy will inject a spark content for Chase, who appears to

:53:46.:53:52.

be standing off, rather than really going for the gap John. They are

:53:52.:54:02.
:54:02.:54:14.

placing him very close but they are can't. Did well to stay in play

:54:14.:54:24.
:54:24.:54:27.

there. Hudson setting his stall out there for Watkins. It is getting

:54:27.:54:35.

tough. It is rough. That is how to run at your man. Bailey. He is not

:54:35.:54:45.
:54:45.:55:07.

anybody's ball. Well picked up that was well chased by Carl Ablett.

:55:07.:55:13.

Penalty. It spoiled all his good work rate, didn't it. It was an

:55:13.:55:17.

excellent chase there turned an indifferent kick into a good one. I

:55:17.:55:23.

think they are looking at whether there is still a bit of blood.

:55:23.:55:31.

could see animosity between the two there. There we have got it. Held

:55:31.:55:36.

down by Ablett. Just spoiled it by trying to buy that extra half

:55:36.:55:43.

second. Well he is certainly in some difficulty there John. To say

:55:43.:55:51.

the least. Did you say we had somebody modelling? I think Nick

:55:51.:55:57.

Youngquest. I don't think Ablett will be modelling tonight! You said

:55:57.:56:07.
:56:07.:56:23.

it was a bit of a knock! Any way. tackles missed in the whole game so

:56:23.:56:30.

far. Oh, bad pass. He tried to isolate the short side and it shows

:56:30.:56:34.

the commitment. Three tackles missed by Kas, won by Leeds, but

:56:34.:56:43.

Chase there trying to isolate the short side defender but this

:56:43.:56:53.
:56:53.:57:10.

Castleford again? Yes, another set of six. Kas, moving in very very

:57:10.:57:20.
:57:20.:57:51.

quickly. Restricting Leeds's normal just can't get through. Terrific

:57:51.:57:55.

tackle by Stuart Jones but burrow is causing problems. Can he get

:57:55.:58:05.

over. He has lost it! Play on. Castleford are coming away. Did he

:58:05.:58:09.

lose that or was it taken from him? There is one, two, three in the

:58:09.:58:13.

tackle. He put it in his arms. don't know about that but

:58:13.:58:17.

McGoldrick has do that to prevent the try. He has got away wit. It is

:58:17.:58:21.

better to act rather than reason when it is like that, you are

:58:21.:58:25.

defending your own line. I thought he put it in his arm John. Not to

:58:25.:58:31.

worry. It is all action here round this ruck area. A lot of driving

:58:31.:58:41.
:58:41.:58:55.

and running by Hudson. Burrow, another error there from the Tiger,

:58:55.:59:00.

they will be talking about ball control, ending the sets and they

:59:00.:59:05.

need to remain composed because this is when fatigue is setting in

:59:05.:59:15.
:59:15.:59:20.

in the six, seven minutes before 250. Good ball here, Jones-Bishop,

:59:20.:59:28.

kicks it, can he get it over? No. That was good ball movement Ray. It

:59:28.:59:31.

really was. Very clinical ball movement there. No hesitation.

:59:31.:59:38.

Lovely pass there from centre, Watkins, to wing man Jones-Bishop.

:59:38.:59:43.

McGoldrick had to be there to rescue the day but that has earned

:59:43.:59:49.

them a repeat set. A lot of these players seem to be breathing very

:59:50.:59:54.

deeply so far. It is very warm and muggy down there. It is the motion

:59:54.:00:03.

of the occasion as well. But this is when you have to dig deep.

:00:03.:00:13.
:00:13.:00:13.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds

:00:13.:01:07.

just beginning to open the play out Chase. I think he placed it down.

:01:07.:01:13.

He did, he placed it down. A little bit of handbags afterwards but

:01:13.:01:23.
:01:23.:01:41.

calm or you're over the line, John. Yes. A lovely little kick their

:01:41.:01:49.

front Sinfield. -- from Sinfield. He crowns the ball there so that is

:01:49.:01:55.

the game finished. Anything afterwards is irrelevant. Kevin

:01:55.:02:00.

Sinfield said he was trying to pick it up but it made no difference. It

:02:00.:02:10.
:02:10.:02:36.

was just a little bit forward. Should it not have been called

:02:36.:02:41.

forward it would have been a try. That is why the referee is there,

:02:41.:02:51.
:02:51.:02:51.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds

:02:51.:03:41.

there to take the Castleford Tigers Open ball can produce a cruel

:03:41.:03:49.

bounce and it did that. That was the few chances of the half there.

:03:49.:03:56.

It looked as if Sinfield had cleaned it up but it came free.

:03:56.:04:00.

Unfortunately, it just went over the sideline. That definitely was a

:04:01.:04:10.
:04:11.:04:40.

the 23rd minute is the difference could be absolutely vital, Ray,

:04:40.:04:46.

there. He lost the ball while playing it. Ryan Hall. And 20

:04:46.:04:50.

metres away from the opposition line, just two points down, in the

:04:50.:04:55.

full set of six, coming up to half time, a great situation for

:04:55.:05:05.
:05:05.:05:05.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds

:05:05.:05:58.

that with time running out but... I thought the Castleford player lost

:05:58.:06:06.

that. He certainly did not ask any questions. You can see the thought

:06:06.:06:09.

process they're behind bridging bid to ball. That is the half-time

:06:09.:06:19.
:06:19.:06:39.

whistle. -- the process of their CLARE BALDING: If in to the

:06:39.:06:44.

Challenge Cup semi-finals march of the two Yorkshire side's. Leeds

:06:44.:06:52.

thought they had scored but a pass says referee. Kevin Sinfield did

:06:52.:06:58.

the chance when he could. Could a strong defending from both sides.

:06:58.:07:02.

Plenty of Rosalind going on out there. Ablaze looked like Hannibal

:07:02.:07:07.

Lecter and has shown plenty of man eating capabilities. Castleford

:07:07.:07:14.

went close near the end there but just two points are on the board.

:07:14.:07:19.

You would not have predicted that. Perfect conditions for a high-

:07:19.:07:23.

scoring match but that is not what we have got at all. It is very

:07:23.:07:33.
:07:33.:07:41.

tight. In terms of possession and All of those figures are so close

:07:41.:07:49.

and that is reflected in the scoreline. Brian Noble is watching

:07:49.:07:56.

this with me. I think it shows how much it means to both teams because

:07:56.:08:01.

we have seen Castleford scramble to keep Leeds out at the last minutes

:08:01.:08:04.

and at the other end, Castleford have the opportunity and the same

:08:04.:08:13.

I know all the effort they have put in, I think we will see it broken

:08:13.:08:18.

open in the second half. Just in, which side have created depth of

:08:18.:08:25.

squad. Leeds, mostly, because of the position they have had. You got

:08:25.:08:29.

the sense in the first half that Leeds were going to score so I

:08:29.:08:33.

think Castleford will go in at half-time very pleased. If they

:08:33.:08:37.

keep defending like that, you will see some more errors from the Leeds

:08:37.:08:43.

They certainly cannot go in there regretting what might have been but

:08:43.:08:48.

we can certainly have a look at it. Jamie Jones-Buchanan, it was this

:08:48.:08:56.

forward pass or not? I do not think it was. Brent Webb passes the ball

:08:56.:09:01.

to him. He is going forward here. It looks like he's going to pass.

:09:01.:09:08.

That looks like it is backwards to me. When it was the referee or the

:09:08.:09:14.

touch judge, it is a forward pass. That one is definitely a forward.

:09:14.:09:20.

That extra man there, they proceed through the hands. Another version

:09:20.:09:27.

of events there. That is slightly forward, and I just think that at

:09:27.:09:32.

that point in the game Castleford were just hanging on. We thought

:09:32.:09:37.

Leeds might just break the game open. Unlucky. Both sides have been

:09:37.:09:43.

very close and Ryan Bailey had a big chance for leaves again. Ryan

:09:43.:09:48.

McGoldrick has to play this ball. Boris is threatened. He's going to

:09:48.:09:53.

stretch out and try to put the ball down but he passes it and gives it

:09:53.:10:01.

to Ryan Hall. There we are. He is going to take Ferres or Davies.

:10:01.:10:06.

Good fullbacks in the mix that. If he is not there, that is a try.

:10:06.:10:11.

Soak it is difficult to say it is a strip. I think he had every right

:10:11.:10:21.
:10:21.:10:22.

to play that. And this? This was a nice bit of ball movement. He does

:10:22.:10:27.

fantastically well to hold the ball there. You think he's going to get

:10:27.:10:33.

there. Last ditch effort. He wrong for its ability there. Great play.

:10:33.:10:43.
:10:43.:10:46.

The first bit of attacking play. -- he wrong foots Ablett there.

:10:46.:10:51.

what do you think now, what is being said of the Castleford

:10:51.:10:59.

players? -- said to. They managed to get there with a couple of

:10:59.:11:03.

penalties but when they look bare - - get there they look really

:11:03.:11:10.

dangerous. Chase there has not quite have the fluency but we have

:11:10.:11:14.

seen when he gets in the right part of the field, he is trying to open

:11:14.:11:22.

something up and it is his passing moment. He's a smart cookie and he

:11:22.:11:27.

will get the opportunity to run. Thank goodness for that one went

:11:27.:11:33.

out. In the main, his kicking game has been OK. Castleford have chased

:11:33.:11:39.

really, really well. That has been part and parcel of it. Leeds look a

:11:39.:11:42.

little bit more physical around the middle and have not struggled to

:11:42.:11:47.

get out of their own half. Brian Hall got a chance to get that one

:11:47.:11:53.

on the floor. I would like to see Rangi Chase get in. Here he goes,

:11:53.:11:58.

back against the grain, -- against the grain, trying to create

:11:58.:12:03.

something that is not really there. Here he is on the other side of the

:12:03.:12:09.

game defensively. Begin that ball up and Grandin did it. He's a great

:12:09.:12:19.

leader and did the very well there. CLARE BALDING: Brian McDermott

:12:19.:12:23.

talking to them their about what he wants in the second half. The

:12:23.:12:29.

leaves will go has been influential. He was killing them early on. This

:12:29.:12:35.

is an example of the couple of runs he has had. And him and Burrow

:12:35.:12:39.

added their together, probably showing how Castleford should be

:12:39.:12:46.

attempting to have a go at the game. Here he goes. Another great play

:12:47.:12:52.

from McGoldrick. To all intents and purposes, Danny Buderus is over the

:12:52.:13:02.
:13:02.:13:03.

line there. He is a physical Goret. Yes. He has turned out very well.

:13:03.:13:06.

- he is a physical man. We can look at mistakes and say, could this

:13:06.:13:13.

have been done differently? I've wonder now whether James -- Jones-

:13:13.:13:19.

Bishop is regretting this. He has Brett Ferres coming across there

:13:19.:13:23.

and note disrespect to him but he is a bit elusive there, the wing

:13:23.:13:30.

man. Maybe he could have tried and to get past Ferres. He kicked it

:13:30.:13:34.

eight metres out from the line. Good result there but we asking

:13:34.:13:39.

players to make decisions in split seconds. Maybe if he would have

:13:39.:13:43.

backed himself it could have been a try. Note tries yet so everything

:13:43.:13:52.

still to play for as Castleford try to win this. It was 1999 when they

:13:52.:14:01.

last won. The man who lifted it is You watched that first half. What

:14:01.:14:06.

do you make of Leeds performers? They have been pretty dominant,

:14:07.:14:12.

especially in the last 50 minutes. Castleford had the first half. The

:14:12.:14:17.

interchanges that meads -- leaves has made as the game has progressed

:14:18.:14:23.

has been very significant. They look more and more positive.

:14:23.:14:27.

Another couple of forward passes that could have been tries. If it

:14:27.:14:32.

was a boxing match you would think a Castleford was against the ropes.

:14:32.:14:40.

Is there a fear that Leeds might live to rue those mistresses?

:14:40.:14:46.

sure that Castleford will be talking about that. The game of

:14:46.:14:53.

rugby league, with the pressure, eventually the points will follow.

:14:53.:14:57.

Certainly the last 15 minutes, you could see that the points were

:14:57.:15:02.

starting to come. The fact that the are in the lead by two points will

:15:02.:15:09.

put them in a comfortable position so they will not fail to agitated.

:15:09.:15:14.

From Cas's point of view, field position? It is up and they have

:15:14.:15:19.

got to get the ball into Rangi Chase's hands as much as possible.

:15:19.:15:24.

But to do that you have to be in the right end of the field and the

:15:24.:15:28.

back three for Castleford are important. To allow them to kick

:15:28.:15:33.

the ball on the front foot. They have not put too much pressure on

:15:33.:15:37.

Leeds in the first half. If they can do that, and Rangi Chase can

:15:37.:15:44.

get the ball in his hand, they can score points. You are the Crusaders

:15:44.:15:48.

coach. A tough time for them recently. Is there a future for

:15:49.:15:54.

rugby league in Wales? There has been a lot of work done in the last

:15:54.:16:01.

ten years. Youngsters are targeting -- starting to play the game. It is

:16:01.:16:07.

unfortunate that the Crusaders have fallen out of Super League and --

:16:07.:16:11.

but it certainly will not change the end goal of creating a strong

:16:11.:16:16.

national Welsh side. We are in the Four Nations this year and

:16:16.:16:20.

hopefully can do well. I am sure there is a pathway upwards.

:16:20.:16:24.

have had talks this week we did Rugby Football League and intimated

:16:24.:16:28.

something positive can come out. Can you tell us? We are still

:16:28.:16:32.

talking at the moment. The signs are positive and we have had good

:16:32.:16:35.

communication with them. I am hoping something positive will come

:16:35.:16:40.

out of that the middle to the end of this week. Your own decision

:16:40.:16:45.

yesterday? Do you perhaps see yourself managing the side in the

:16:45.:16:51.

championship? I want to coach in Super League at the top level. I

:16:51.:16:56.

enjoy catching. I hope I continued to do that. There are three or four

:16:56.:17:01.

vacancies. I am still a young coach and I still have a lot to learn.

:17:01.:17:05.

The weather it is as head coach or assistant coach... Rise certainly

:17:05.:17:11.

want to stay at the top. This has been the toughest challenge in your

:17:11.:17:14.

pension career. There has been a lot of tough challenges at

:17:14.:17:18.

Crusaders. I know Brian is in the studio and he had a lot to deal

:17:18.:17:24.

with in his time in charge. Disappointing that the Chris Tew

:17:24.:17:28.

does -- Crusaders are not there for the next few years but hopefully

:17:28.:17:31.

all the players will sort themselves out and getting too good

:17:31.:17:41.
:17:41.:17:41.

Gareth Thomas among those who are making decisions about where he

:17:41.:17:45.

will go next. All the player, it was a primary concern as coach and

:17:45.:17:49.

the staff and the people and the Spectator, let us not forget, that

:17:49.:17:54.

three or 4,000 people rock up every week to watch and invest their

:17:54.:17:59.

money. Where is professional sport in north Wales now? Rugby league in

:17:59.:18:03.

particular. However you go back to the player scenario. Everybody has

:18:03.:18:07.

a life to lead and job to get and in the manner in which it happened

:18:07.:18:11.

is the one that sticks in everyone's mouth. The last second.

:18:11.:18:16.

The players were the last to know which can't be right. Desperate for

:18:16.:18:24.

them. And as he was talking about it, they made reference to the

:18:24.:18:26.

vacancies there will be in Super League next year. It will be a case

:18:26.:18:34.

of musical chairs. Among those departing is the Castleford coach

:18:34.:18:40.

Terry Matterson, there are going to be vacancies at Castleford, Wigan,

:18:40.:18:46.

Hull KR. Wakefield, you know, this could be very interesting. New job

:18:46.:18:50.

club we are creating. We will have a coffee and hold us heads in our

:18:50.:18:56.

hand and say where are we going next. Obviously, can you give us

:18:56.:19:00.

any clues,? Are you staying in the country. I would love to. I have

:19:00.:19:03.

enjoyed coaching and I want to continue coaching in Super League

:19:03.:19:08.

so hopefully we get something sorted out sooner than later.

:19:08.:19:13.

are plenty that would want you. And you too. You want to coach at the

:19:13.:19:18.

highest level and Super League is a fabulous concept, and I have missed

:19:18.:19:22.

it dearly. Some of the Leeds players will be featuring in the

:19:22.:19:25.

autumn come the four nations tournament. Some will be playing

:19:25.:19:29.

for England and Wales are involved. Australia and New Zealand as well.

:19:29.:19:39.
:19:39.:19:41.

These are the matching you can see High lights on TV and Five Live as

:19:41.:19:49.

well. Full coverage on line as a superb service. So here we go, no

:19:49.:19:56.

tries yet. Leeds leading narrowly 2-0. Let us join John and Ray. No

:19:56.:20:01.

tries as yet. Just that one penalty goal edging Leeds ahead as we begin

:20:01.:20:06.

the final 40 minutes. To see who will join Wigan at Wembley in three

:20:07.:20:11.

will join Wigan at Wembley in three weeks time. Defences on top. 182

:20:11.:20:15.

tack. -- tackles made and only four missed. That says something about

:20:15.:20:17.

the determination. They are committed to the cause. They know

:20:17.:20:23.

there is a massive prize at the end of this. But it has been very good.

:20:23.:20:26.

Really impressed with the tackles that McGoldrick made on his own

:20:26.:20:29.

line, when he tackled the ball and not worried about the player. 40

:20:29.:20:34.

minutes now, Ray, to decide who is lining up against Wigan. I am sure

:20:34.:20:38.

we will have tries in the second half. The energy that is being used

:20:38.:20:42.

up there in that first 40 minute, and the heat down there, it must

:20:42.:20:46.

take a toll. It will do. There will be tired limbs out there, and the

:20:46.:20:51.

use of interchange will be very very important as well, and be

:20:51.:21:01.
:21:01.:21:10.

interesting to see when Baderas Jones-Buchanan. Well, nice slip of

:21:10.:21:17.

a pass there. Oh Jackson number eight has picked it up I like the

:21:17.:21:22.

attitude of Jackson. He got hold of the ball and mash -- marched it

:21:22.:21:29.

forward. Castleford have had a tradition for props. These three

:21:29.:21:32.

Paul Jackson, Rob Parker and Ben Davies, they might not have the

:21:33.:21:36.

same aura as names but they have gone through a good 40 minutes here

:21:36.:21:40.

They have worked very hard and they will have to maintain that for the

:21:40.:21:50.
:21:50.:22:17.

away. Now then, he is holding on. Can he edge him on the that

:22:17.:22:22.

touchline. He cuts inside. He outside again. And he beats another

:22:22.:22:30.

man. But he is down. Terrific recovery there by Castleford. Leeds

:22:30.:22:38.

in full flow. Magnificent run from Bishop. Well done, oh is he in. He

:22:38.:22:46.

is in touch. The flag is up. Carl Ablett has not scored. Mistakes

:22:46.:22:53.

right on the spot. The flag went up immediately. But that was a carbon

:22:53.:22:58.

copy of that Wigan try yesterday. It was but hasn't he done well here.

:22:58.:23:04.

Look who it is. He put the pressure on Ablett, but touch judge has got

:23:04.:23:09.

it exactly right. Robert Hicks has got it right. The foot on the

:23:09.:23:14.

sideline, but it was Danny Orr, and that shows how much it means,

:23:14.:23:17.

putting the pressure on Ablett, forcing Ablett out-of-bounds.

:23:17.:23:21.

you could see there with the touch judge, Mr Hick, he was looking

:23:21.:23:27.

nowhere else except that white line. That did the trick for Castleford.

:23:27.:23:32.

He did a great job. But again, Jones-Bishop, he is looking the one

:23:32.:23:36.

most likely to break this stalemate, but good piece of work there from

:23:36.:23:46.
:23:46.:23:50.

he got support inside him? Has he the layed too long. He is going

:23:50.:23:56.

himself. Rangi Chase has scored! An amazing try from one end of the

:23:56.:24:01.

field to the other. Castleford are in the lead. I thought he had made

:24:01.:24:07.

a mistake by not passing but the confidence in this Kiwi is immense.

:24:07.:24:13.

His 36th try for Castleford, and as has he ever scored a more important

:24:13.:24:20.

one? I would doubt it. The fans are deleer rows. They lead for the

:24:21.:24:24.

first time in this match for by points to two. What a great try.

:24:25.:24:28.

They went down the short side. A bit of a tummy. Sinfield took it.

:24:28.:24:33.

He used the right hand and look at his composure here. Ball in two

:24:33.:24:38.

hands, he is virtually teasing Webb. He is "I'm going to pass, I'm not

:24:39.:24:43.

going to pass" ore he gos in the corner. A great individual try from

:24:43.:24:48.

Rangi Chase. He made it, he engineered the break and he

:24:48.:24:54.

finished the break. Absolutely outstanding rugby league. It was.

:24:55.:25:01.

He moved the Leeds full back, then he went out he had the legs on him.

:25:01.:25:11.
:25:11.:25:30.

He is a successful kicker for no it is not. It is to the left of

:25:30.:25:37.

the post. -- lofts. What a lift from that man for the men in yellow.

:25:37.:25:42.

It was a magnificent break. You saw the right hand as he showed the

:25:43.:25:49.

dummy to Sinfield. I love how he Teess and tantalising Webb. When he

:25:49.:25:52.

realises he's has bought himself enough space he finishes the try

:25:52.:25:59.

off. What a great try. I think hen joyed it. He certainly did. All the

:25:59.:26:04.

drama, all the talk about whether Rangi Chase was play, whether he

:26:04.:26:08.

was in Australia or wherever he was on that touchline less than a

:26:09.:26:18.
:26:19.:26:30.

aplomb. For Leeds the message from Brian McDermott stretched the play,

:26:30.:26:35.

get the ball under control, and we saw that great example of that from

:26:35.:26:38.

Jones-Bishop, but the message from Brian McDermott is take your

:26:38.:26:42.

chances, Leeds have to start doing that. Leeds I think have to start

:26:42.:26:46.

moving the ball about. For my money they have battled too long and too

:26:46.:26:50.

far, with Castleford round that ruck area. It is a war of attrition.

:26:50.:26:56.

It is an 80 minute game. There is no teed to panic. A two point

:26:56.:27:00.

deficit for the Rhinos. Castleford will be happy with that try. It

:27:00.:27:05.

should give them more confidence. Burrow, scampering away. Beating

:27:05.:27:15.
:27:15.:27:40.

understand what Webb was attempting to do there, because it showed it

:27:40.:27:44.

and it was never really on. Cas will be happy the pressure has been

:27:44.:27:53.

released. Castleford sensibly carrying the ball away, with the

:27:53.:28:03.
:28:03.:28:23.

first receiver while they regather. match on loan from Wigan. He is

:28:23.:28:28.

having a very good game. Here he goes again. He has got him away.

:28:28.:28:34.

They are back in in business. He has lost it. He lost that there.

:28:34.:28:40.

did. Good call. Again, another goodical on that far side. -- good

:28:40.:28:47.

call on that far side. You see Chase opening it up and Youngquest

:28:47.:28:52.

out on the wing. Off-loaded the ball to Dixon. He lost the ball in

:28:52.:28:59.

that collision there n the sort of cover tackle. They are looking at

:28:59.:29:08.

the moment the most promising side there Ray. They are. And Leeds

:29:08.:29:14.

forced to bring the ball away. Leeds will be looking for some

:29:15.:29:19.

inspiration. Terry Matterson there, with Andy hey his assistant.

:29:19.:29:27.

Contented. There is a long time remaining in this Carnegie

:29:27.:29:37.
:29:37.:29:50.

second row of Delaney who has returned from the substitute bench.

:29:51.:29:56.

You can see as Isa is regaining his feet. He had one hand on the ball.

:29:56.:30:01.

This is a marvellous opportunity for the Leeds Rhinos. A penalty

:30:01.:30:05.

like that can change the course of the game. The ball here now with

:30:05.:30:15.
:30:15.:30:42.

12 months but he is fit and ready there. A bit of a problem here with

:30:42.:30:52.
:30:52.:31:05.

Danny off and Dan and acquire. nothing. It is a mile for Wood,

:31:05.:31:15.
:31:15.:31:17.

that one. -- forwards. It was after the ball was on the ground that we

:31:17.:31:27.
:31:27.:31:38.

had the two Dannys having a little tackle above the shoulder...

:31:38.:31:43.

McGuire making a last ditch class, but around the neck. That is a

:31:43.:31:53.
:31:53.:31:53.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds

:31:53.:32:41.

penalty. A good decision. Tempers providing big problems for Leeds.

:32:41.:32:44.

Jackson was working incessantly when he was carrying the ball after

:32:44.:32:51.

collision to get them forward. There is no doubt, they were

:32:51.:32:56.

offside and if councils are... would you do, John? Is this worth a

:32:56.:33:06.

goal? Points as a premium. No doubt. The interchange has been eating up.

:33:06.:33:11.

Eight on each side. So it is a war of attrition out there and any

:33:11.:33:17.

points you can get are very important will stop Kirk Dixon,

:33:17.:33:27.
:33:27.:33:55.

extra-time over there at felt -- points for Castleford. 6-2. Do the

:33:55.:34:02.

Castleford fans, as they have said all week, begin to dream of

:34:02.:34:10.

Wembley? They have been dreaming of it all week but the reality dawns

:34:10.:34:15.

today. But there is a long time to go yet. There will be a lot of

:34:15.:34:25.
:34:25.:34:50.

have someone from the Castleford squad here. How did Castleford hold

:34:50.:35:00.
:35:00.:35:02.

on? We have just got to not make any mistakes. And Rangi Chase?

:35:02.:35:06.

thought he made the wrong decision, not passing. It shows how much I

:35:06.:35:15.

know. We predicted that Rangi Chase would get the first score of half-

:35:15.:35:25.
:35:25.:35:25.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds

:35:25.:36:24.

composure in some of these experienced Leeds Rhinos players....

:36:24.:36:27.

Robert Burrow was actually pleading with him to pass the ball and he

:36:27.:36:35.

put a bit too pure -- he put boot to ball and that is a half chance

:36:35.:36:45.
:36:45.:36:45.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds

:36:45.:37:59.

this on their own rather than position of the ball, he has played

:37:59.:38:07.

it, and then he pushes the Leeds Rhinos player over. Rob Burrow is

:38:07.:38:13.

having discussions... There is no need for that because he has done

:38:13.:38:18.

his job, and very well all afternoon, McGoldrick, and he has

:38:18.:38:27.

given -- this has given Leeds we did good opportunity. -- a really

:38:27.:38:37.
:38:37.:38:37.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds

:38:37.:39:28.

McGuire went to follow the kick from Brent Webb. It was a very

:39:28.:39:31.

difficult pick up but if you want to get to Wembley you have got to

:39:31.:39:36.

make those. What a cracking game the second half is turning out to

:39:36.:39:46.

be. Coming up to the final 20 minutes of this game. The players

:39:46.:39:56.
:39:56.:39:56.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds

:39:56.:41:15.

going to go to Wembley, Ray, they have got to take advantage of what

:41:15.:41:22.

this position is giving them. sets, one after the other. That is

:41:22.:41:28.

difficult to defend against in this heat. Oh, Peacock could not just

:41:28.:41:38.
:41:38.:42:03.

get there! Terrific tackle by and Castleford drinking in there,

:42:03.:42:11.

as Leeds throw everything at them. You can sense Leeds' urgency and

:42:11.:42:21.
:42:21.:42:22.

commitment to win is there. Castleford eight to Leeds' 5, the

:42:22.:42:32.

sense depended in their own half. - - sets defended. In that final 20

:42:32.:42:42.
:42:42.:42:42.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds

:42:42.:44:22.

there. A nice little kick. Dixon forwards on, Davies and Thompson.

:44:22.:44:32.
:44:32.:44:52.

Working the interchanges. Jackson posts are standing out of their

:44:52.:44:58.

seats. They are really beginning to think, can they be an upset here

:44:58.:45:08.

ground, I'm sure. Chase made the tackle. The tackle momentum stopped.

:45:26.:45:32.

It was after that point Chase took the ball. Well, Terry Matterson was

end, they decided to put the ball over the dead-ball line. Haven't

:47:53.:47:59.

they defended so well, Castleford tired, don't they? I this they are

:47:59.:48:03.

trying to solve the problems in ones, rather than working as a

:48:03.:48:07.

group and offering options inside and out, and perhaps promoting an

:48:07.:48:11.

off load or two. Here we are. Baderas with a good run from the

:48:11.:48:21.
:48:21.:48:35.

half back position. Can he get it there, on the last tackle. A good

:48:35.:48:41.

left footed kick. This is dangerous. Oh! Play on, says the referee. It

:48:41.:48:48.

went backwards. Can't be off side in the end goal. Play on. Here is

:48:48.:48:52.

Rangi Chase again. Skipping. Jumping round. Beautiful ball.

:48:52.:48:58.

Castleford are on the attack. Some of this Leeds side are walking back.

:48:58.:49:03.

Good tackle there from Webb. Marvellous counter attack from

:49:03.:49:06.

McGoldrick. Those who have been really important for the Tigers

:49:06.:49:16.
:49:16.:49:38.

Too easy for Jones-Bishop to take. There was no pressure. Not at all.

:49:39.:49:48.
:49:49.:49:55.

Castleford still holding on to that six points to two lead. Just the

:49:55.:50:05.
:50:05.:50:14.

of burrow or McGuire. They need options. They need people rung off

:50:14.:50:19.

them. That certainly won't help. Jamie Jones-Buchanan losing the

:50:19.:50:23.

ball. He has worked very very hard as the second row of Jamie Jones-

:50:23.:50:29.

Buchanan and again it is a very good tackle from Milner. He is just

:50:29.:50:34.

19 years of age. He has had a cracker, I'll tell you today. Time

:50:34.:50:38.

is running out for the Rhino, they will have to start working more and

more and more for each other. I noticed in that last move. Rob

:50:43.:50:47.

burrow shouting to his team, urging them to move the ball more, as you

:50:47.:50:54.

are suggesting. It is down now where you have to take the risk, if

:50:54.:50:59.

you are going to get to a prize like that. And that may well be

:50:59.:51:07.

very very important there, Richie Owen, a little aggrieved with the

:51:07.:51:10.

referee's decision, but Phil Bentham convinced he lost the ball.

:51:10.:51:16.

I'm not. I'm not convinced he lost the ball, but technically he never

:51:16.:51:21.

played with played with it his foot. If you haven't it is a penalty.

:51:21.:51:25.

What I am saying it is par for the course and no referees ever seem to

:51:25.:51:34.

pick it up. He has lost it. That is a penalty. There is interference.

:51:34.:51:40.

Now then. This should be interesting to see whether... There

:51:40.:51:50.
:51:50.:51:52.

was any interference. REFEREE: he hit the Cas man? Rob, so in your

:51:52.:51:57.

opinion the Cas man has not made any connection on the way back?

:51:57.:52:04.

think that is debatable. I think that he was trying to get on side.

:52:04.:52:09.

He has certainly played the arm. I think the Leeds Rhinos will be

:52:09.:52:14.

aggrieved with that, but Castleford tigers players and fans won't be

:52:14.:52:18.

worried. Very very contentious decision there. But, this is what

:52:18.:52:22.

makes, this is what the Challenge Cup is all about. There is only one

:52:22.:52:32.
:52:32.:52:55.

here from Castleford. Driving in at it half broke them. It forced hawk

:52:55.:53:01.

to have a second effort. It shows some of the depth of the talent at

:53:01.:53:07.

Wigan when they can loan this boy out. He could play in the final

:53:07.:53:12.

against his parent club. He could. I don't know what the arrangements

:53:12.:53:22.
:53:22.:53:27.

are. Sometimes they stop them. celebrating his 4 hundredth career

:53:27.:53:30.

appearance. A record points scorer here for Castleford. He will

:53:31.:53:34.

remember it as well, if they manage to achieve the prize and get to

:53:34.:53:44.
:53:44.:54:08.

absolute beauty. The Castleford fans are absolutely ecstatic. Just

:54:08.:54:13.

look at that little lad bouncing up and down there! This is what rugby

:54:13.:54:19.

league means to a town like Castleford. Eight points to two.

:54:19.:54:24.

Less than nine minutes remain, all the pressure now on Leeds. --

:54:24.:54:28.

remaining. One of the great sides of Challenge Cup rugby. In honesty

:54:28.:54:34.

Ray, you look at this and you think where can Leeds conjure a try from?

:54:34.:54:41.

If they do and convert it, it is still even Stevens goal and point

jobs. Could you stand another goal and point job after your experience

:54:45.:54:55.
:54:55.:54:58.

with Wakefield and Castleford? give that pass out. He knows it.

:54:58.:55:04.

have been singing his praises, haven't we, but that was a big

:55:04.:55:12.

error there. So, Terry Matterson and his assistant there, Andy Hay,

:55:12.:55:17.

they both know how vital that mistake could be. Six tackles here

:55:17.:55:27.
:55:27.:55:51.

then to Leeds. What can McGuire and it out. Can he pick it up. He's

:55:51.:56:01.
:56:01.:56:06.

over! He's over. No hesitation there. Jones-Bishop he picked the

:56:06.:56:16.
:56:16.:56:17.

ball up. Watkins, 18th try. Tremendous effort. And Leeds are

:56:17.:56:21.

back! Yes, well the ball moved from left to right there, one of the

:56:21.:56:26.

slickest of movement and the ball hit the ground from Hauraki, a

:56:26.:56:29.

lovely bit of composure from Watkins. Kept his hands away from

:56:29.:56:35.

the ball. It hits the ground from the off load. He shows composure

:56:36.:56:40.

and finishes really well, three metres in from the sideline. And my

:56:40.:56:48.

word, good try from Watkins, but this is pressure. The skill of

:56:48.:56:58.
:56:58.:57:05.

in business. Kevin Sinfield. The record goal kicker for Leeds, shows

:57:05.:57:11.

his true metal when the pressure son from the toech line. He grabs

:57:11.:57:15.

another one. -- touchline. He grabs another one and we are all square

:57:15.:57:23.

here at the Keepmoat stadium. piece of brilliance. Hauraki does a

:57:23.:57:28.

good job. Off loads the ball. Great composure from Watkins. Good kick

:57:28.:57:31.

under pressure and a great finish and Sinfield's kick, that is,

:57:31.:57:35.

handling pressure at the highest level. What a finish we've got in

:57:35.:57:40.

store now Ray. Less than six minutes remaining and suddenly,

:57:41.:57:50.
:57:51.:57:52.

Leeds look revitalised. Leeds now charging away. Buderus. And it is

:57:52.:57:59.

Castleford off side. Play from Buderus. He picked the ball up and

:57:59.:58:05.

made Parker get involved in the defensive. Will it be a drop goal?

:58:05.:58:11.

Well, Kevin Sinfield, Danny McGuire, burrow, all adapted to -- adept at

:58:12.:58:19.

drop goals. Sin teeld with 2 drop goals in his career. They are

:58:19.:58:29.
:58:29.:58:43.

taking it to central position Ray. crash on the goal-line of

:58:43.:58:47.

Castleford. They picked out Kirk but he couldn't reel the ball in.

:58:47.:58:51.

Too much traffic from the Castleford defence. You tend the

:58:51.:58:55.

lose the ball when you are so tired. You can see a lot of tired men out

:58:55.:58:58.

there There is fatigue but there is pressure from the defensive line.

:58:58.:59:02.

Kevin Sinfield in the background, he was screaming at Buderus, he

:59:02.:59:07.

wanted the ball to slot a one pointer over, but it wasn't to be a.

:59:07.:59:13.

It is still eight all. Four-and-a- half minutes left. We going to go

:59:13.:59:20.

into goal and point. Let us remind listeners a golden point. A draw at

:59:20.:59:24.

half-time. There is to replay now. We return round at full-time and

:59:24.:59:28.

the team that scores first, whether it be a drop goal, a try, or a

:59:28.:59:34.

penalty goal, is the winner. Castleford already have achieved

:59:34.:59:40.

that once against John's side, Wakefield Trinity. And won by 20

:59:40.:59:48.

points to 18. A two pointer from Kirk Dixon. I don't think Ray he is

:59:48.:59:54.

obsessed with a drop goal. You have to build pressure. But Leeds Rhinos

:59:54.:59:59.

they have found an injection of energy from somewhere. They are

:59:59.:00:03.

stopping Castleford. A long kick. You have to get up there fast. Webb,

:00:03.:00:13.
:00:13.:00:33.

he has to make ground. He is doing. better Leeds players. His work-rate

:00:33.:00:43.
:00:43.:01:11.

decision, I am certain, from Danny McGuire. There was one of the

:01:11.:01:21.

tackle left and he went for the try. Chase is injured. I think he is

:01:21.:01:27.

also buying a moment or two for his groggy defence. There are one or

:01:27.:01:34.

two players on the field who had their hands are on their knees.

:01:34.:01:44.
:01:44.:01:53.

it the read -- right decision from the naked eye, there looked to be

:01:53.:02:00.

nothing at all. It was just Chase going down on the ball. When it is

:02:00.:02:06.

slowed down, things look worse. He is OK. He's up and running. Not

:02:06.:02:16.

:04:42.:04:49.

get a full set in. McGoldrick and Orr flew out of the line to put him

:04:49.:04:55.

under pressure. And marvellous work from Orr to get Castleford that's

:04:55.:05:02.

marvellous field position. We were talking on -- earlier on about

fitness. What a fine example from gone to the left-hand side of the

:05:37.:05:43.

post. We will be in two extra time. There is no doubt about that now.

:05:43.:05:50.

The seconds are ticking away. And we cannot restart the game. Time

:05:50.:05:54.

for a little rest for all the players but this time is yet to be

:05:54.:06:01.

decided yet. The first to score the golden., drop goal, a penalty goal

:06:01.:06:11.
:06:11.:06:18.

or try, will settle this. -- the for a word. The coaches with a

:06:18.:06:24.

first sides. What do are experts in the studio think?

:06:24.:06:32.

CLARE BALDING: Just in, you said it is not the greatest quality match,

:06:32.:06:38.

but intense. I think this period here, defence is going to be the

:06:38.:06:41.

key. You have to stop the opposition from getting into

:06:41.:06:47.

position. And they act on their feet. Both the team. Leeds probably

:06:47.:06:54.

looked like they had the most energy. Castleford have charged

:06:54.:07:01.

down to. Well, two just brilliant pieces of play that whistle. It

:07:01.:07:07.

took until four to four minutes for a try to be scored, Castleford with

:07:07.:07:13.

a break from Rangi Chase. Clarkson was late back in the line and just

:07:13.:07:18.

had so much leg but what he does afterwards, he turns Brent Webb

:07:18.:07:23.

inside out and in the lady's chamber. You would have expected

:07:23.:07:29.

him to pass there, but that his confidence. And Watkins here

:07:29.:07:32.

scoring for Leeds. The simple conversion was immense, because it

:07:32.:07:37.

is right over there on the right- hand touchline. Sinfield, shades of

:07:38.:07:44.

that semi-final kick that he took back in 2003. He would have thought

:07:44.:07:51.

it would have taken 70 or so minutes for Leeds to score a try?

:07:51.:07:55.

The Leeds markers putting some pressure on there and he just

:07:55.:07:59.

kicked it to decide there. But fantastic effort from Castleford.

:07:59.:08:04.

They thoroughly deserve to be in this golden point situation. They

:08:04.:08:09.

have defended fantastically on their goal line. The players trying

:08:09.:08:14.

to take on as much liquid as they possibly can. It is very hot out

:08:14.:08:21.

there. They are dehydrated. We are going to golden point in this

:08:21.:08:29.

second Carnegie Challenge Cup semi- final. Expect, from both sides,

:08:29.:08:34.

then to try to get into a position where they can go for a drop goal.

:08:34.:08:37.

All sorts of things can happen here but it will be whichever side has

:08:38.:08:42.

the energy left to do something, because it is not even the case any

:08:42.:08:46.

more of being 80 minutes away from Wembley. They could be a minute

:08:46.:08:53.

away, they could be 20 minutes away. Let's rejoin Ray French and John

:08:53.:09:03.
:09:03.:09:08.

the Match? We will know very, very quickly. Do not forget, the normal

:09:08.:09:12.

interchange pattern is allowed and another extra three into changes

:09:12.:09:18.

are also allowed, to cater for extra-time. -- 3 interchanges are

Leeds have got to get back and high tackle? Our massive decision

:11:05.:11:12.

on the referee. It is a high tackle. Will Kevin Sinfield go for goal?

:11:12.:11:17.

great break first from Sinfield, Ben McGuire backing up on the next

:11:17.:11:27.
:11:27.:11:28.

play and no doubt, he wrong-footed McGoldrick. It was a penalty. There

:12:23.:12:27.

Castleford can hardly believe it! One or two of those players

:12:27.:12:32.

collapsed to the ground. Some of the fans are in tears. It has not

:12:32.:12:37.

been the greatest of games in terms of spectacular rugby, but what a

:12:37.:12:44.

battle! What a war of attrition! And Ronnie the rhino is urging the

:12:44.:12:49.

Leeds fans. Sinfield, the Europe of the hour. He will take Leeds to

:12:49.:12:57.

Wembley. Kevin Sinfield has been the man of the match simply because

:12:57.:13:06.

he has kept with the pressure with two immense goal kicks. He has

:13:06.:13:10.

contributed greatly individually but those two kicks, firstly to tie

:13:10.:13:16.

the score, second late to win the game, man of the match. And it was

:13:16.:13:20.

Castleford, 72 minutes into this game, on the way to Wembley,

:13:20.:13:28.

leading by 8-2, Sinfield adding the goal from the touchline, and

:13:28.:13:33.

Sinfield the prolific points-scorer, more points than anybody else. The

:13:33.:13:40.

record goalscorer for Leeds, he rare here at the Keepmoat Stadium.

:13:40.:13:47.

-- the hero. They are all the way to face Wigan at Wembley in three

:13:47.:13:56.

Congratulations. You are through to Wembley. Talk us through you'll for

:13:56.:14:04.

prices with that kick. Hope for the best. -- your thought process.

:14:04.:14:10.

thought Cas were out standing and probably did not deserve to lose.

:14:10.:14:15.

It was not a vintage leaves performance, was it? No, we have

:14:15.:14:22.

been inconsistent this season. Good stuff for five or ten minutes and

:14:22.:14:28.

then awful again. Stuffed to work on. If we keep putting of these

:14:28.:14:32.

results and working together... They must have been times when you

:14:32.:14:37.

thought the score was not going to come. Cas were outstanding and gave

:14:37.:14:42.

us everything they had. When we went 8-2 behind, it was pretty

:14:43.:14:50.

ominous for us. Congratulations. You are the comedian man of the

:14:50.:14:56.

match. Danny Buderus is with us. What a way to go through to Wembley.

:14:56.:15:00.

Yes, Kevin stays behind to train every day and gets those goals and

:15:00.:15:06.

they are invaluable. Did you always know he was going to kick it?

:15:06.:15:12.

kicks from the side line were probably harder for him. To send it

:15:12.:15:16.

through to Wembley is a pretty good occasion. The blood I your nose

:15:16.:15:23.

tells a story. A bruising encounter. Yes. It is a real good atmosphere

:15:23.:15:33.
:15:33.:15:35.

around here. A good battle and very good with Wigan. A patient sort of

:15:35.:15:45.
:15:45.:15:49.

game. Week stuck it out. At times You are through to the final,

:15:49.:15:56.

Robbie burr Roys, you deserve to get one don't you? We have had some

:15:56.:16:00.

tests but not in the Challenge Cup so we are lucky you get that one.

:16:00.:16:07.

How touch was it this afternoon? Leeds and Cas games are tough. All

:16:07.:16:11.

credit to Cas, they were great. The team spirit we have here is good so

:16:11.:16:16.

it got us through. As you approached extra time both teams

:16:16.:16:22.

looked out on their feet, is that the way you felt? That is the

:16:23.:16:26.

testimony. It was tough, top pace but both teams deserve a shake of

:16:26.:16:30.

the hand. What are your thoughts about facing wig none the final?

:16:30.:16:35.

Really excited about it. Games like this, Westminster ibly, the boys

:16:35.:16:43.

will be looking forward to it. Leeds have lost their last four

:16:43.:16:48.

Challenge Cup final, they will be desperate to turn that round. Muted

:16:48.:16:51.

tell spwraition -- celebrations among the players, mainly because

:16:51.:16:55.

they are exhausted. It really matters to them, you have to feel

:16:55.:16:59.

sorry for these Castleford players, what an effort from them. They

:16:59.:17:03.

matched Leeds, they looked the better side and in many passages of

:17:04.:17:09.

play they put everything into that and desperate to walk away with

:17:09.:17:14.

nothing. It, when you see, you know, big physical powerful men like this,

:17:14.:17:20.

wrecked, wrecked motionly, it is really hard to take, and you know,

:17:20.:17:25.

you were cheering encouragement to Castleford and in many ways a lot

:17:25.:17:30.

of people will feel they deserve to win. I thought they defended

:17:30.:17:33.

fantasticically. There were moments in the first half where Leeds had

:17:33.:17:36.

the ball for five or six minutes and the second half they defended.

:17:36.:17:43.

They deserved it. Leeds, they came one the big play, great break by

:17:43.:17:48.

Sinfield and McGuire and from Kevin. He must be waving to family members

:17:48.:17:51.

there. You can see by the muted celebration, they know what a

:17:51.:17:58.

tussle they have had and probably got out of jail free. Dor is with

:17:58.:18:03.

Damian. Commiserations, a cruel way to lose a semifinal. Yes, you know,

:18:03.:18:08.

I think any semis, it is not nice, it is an awful feeling. I have been

:18:08.:18:13.

on the end of a few of them. I doesn't get any easier I can assure

:18:13.:18:16.

you. At 8-2 did you think you were through? I didn't think we were

:18:16.:18:20.

through. I thought we were in a good position to go through. We

:18:20.:18:24.

made an error and let them back into the game. After a really

:18:24.:18:27.

important time we kick add penalty and we should have kicked home from

:18:27.:18:32.

there and got good field position and put them under pressure. That

:18:32.:18:39.

is rugby for you. Cas have form, did you feel approaching extra time

:18:39.:18:45.

that was your best chance? To be honest, at 8-2 we were in a good

:18:45.:18:51.

position. We just made error, we made an error in extra time and you

:18:51.:18:59.

can't give a game away. There were tremendous passions in the game.

:18:59.:19:05.

You seem to channel that emotion rel into the game. Yes, we are a

:19:05.:19:09.

good team you know, I thought, Terry leaving it would have been

:19:09.:19:14.

great to send him off with a final, and hopefully winning some

:19:14.:19:17.

silverwareer but it is not to be. We have to pick ourself up and we

:19:17.:19:24.

have a lot to play for. Thanks Danny. Danny Orr expressing

:19:24.:19:28.

disappointment they couldn't do it format mat. He will try and console

:19:28.:19:32.

his players. Didn't they try. He leaves at the end of the season.

:19:32.:19:38.

Neil says unlucky Cas, didn't deserve to lose that game. These

:19:38.:19:43.

are coming through Twitter. Ian says "Cruel on Cas. Great nerve

:19:43.:19:47.

from Sinfield. Should be a cracking final." Indeed it will be and we

:19:47.:19:52.

will be there live on the BBC, in 20 days time. August 27th. It will

:19:52.:19:58.

be on BBC One, Wigan Warriors against Leeds Rhinos. The match was

:19:58.:20:02.

won, well, through the boot of sin singers but it wasn't just the way

:20:02.:20:05.

he took that penalty, it was the break he made to make sure that

:20:05.:20:09.

Leeds were close enough, that if anything, if ieth her got an

:20:09.:20:13.

opportunity to drop goal he could take it or if a penalty was awarded

:20:13.:20:18.

and Paul says "Don't care how much surgery I have to have, Kevin

:20:18.:20:22.

Sinfieldly have your babies." A lot of Leeds fans will feel that way!

:20:22.:20:27.

It was incredible. A good break on the back of Sinfield's run by

:20:27.:20:30.

McGuire. McGoldrick has gone for a shot on ball and mistimed it a bit.

:20:31.:20:36.

Got him a bit high. Brave to give a penalty in that situation, but I

:20:36.:20:39.

think the very play shows it was a high one and deserved a penalty.

:20:39.:20:44.

Isn't he good here. Nerves of steel. You backed him in every second of

:20:44.:20:49.

that kick. He wasn't going to miss it, was he? It will be interesting

:20:49.:20:52.

to see, look how cool he is after. He doesn't want to get

:20:52.:20:54.

overemotional about the Challenge Cup this year. I wonder whether

:20:54.:20:59.

they have learned a lot from last year. I think that is the element

:20:59.:21:02.

of humility that is sin. They know they have been in a hell of a

:21:02.:21:07.

tussle and a hell of a fight. Cas might have come through the other

:21:07.:21:11.

side on any other day as winners. This is what it means to them in

:21:11.:21:15.

the changing room. They will be tired tonight. It's a big one for

:21:15.:21:18.

Brian McDermott who had his critics through the year at certain times.

:21:18.:21:24.

He has come through that. They are in a final. It is a dance as well

:21:24.:21:31.

as a song. Nice little dance. looks like a Haka. It's the hokey-

:21:31.:21:36.

cokey. Very nice. They have every right to dance away, because you

:21:36.:21:41.

know, it was tight and very tense and there were few moments of what

:21:41.:21:46.

one would call great flair. It was dramatic to the last. It was a

:21:46.:21:50.

great, great finish to the game. As we said it wasn't, you know classic

:21:50.:21:54.

rugby league game, there was a lot of mistakes and penalties but it

:21:54.:21:58.

was tense. You know, points towards a good final in about three weeks

:21:58.:22:04.

time. We have seen that over both semifinals. Neither in particular

:22:04.:22:07.

high scoring. The final should be spectacular, Leeds have to raise

:22:07.:22:11.

their game to beat an awesome Wigan side from yesterday. It will be

:22:11.:22:15.

Wigan going for a record, -- extending 18th success in the

:22:16.:22:19.

Challenge Cup. Leeds will be going for a 12th. It's a replay of the 94
