:01:14. > :01:19.World, the excitement! -- oh, the Hello, welcome to Warrington for
:01:19. > :01:24.this weekend's Challenge Cup quarter-finals. Behind me is Oliver
:01:24. > :01:28.Cromwell, who arrived here during the English Civil War. His troops
:01:28. > :01:32.gathered on the historic border between Lancashire and Cheshire and
:01:32. > :01:41.defeated forces advancing from the north. But that will be like a tea
:01:41. > :01:51.party compared with today, because this afternoon, Wigan are intent on.
:01:51. > :02:28.
:02:28. > :02:33.It is one of the most eagerly anticipated games of Rugby League
:02:33. > :02:38.for years. There is a blow for Warrington this afternoon. League
:02:38. > :02:47.Riyaz, their playmaker and the winners -- and the winner of the
:02:47. > :02:53.trophy in the final is out. We can do this. Wigan arrive here looking
:02:53. > :02:59.to go back to their glory days at Wembley. No such worries for
:02:59. > :03:05.Michael Maguire's man with regards fitness. Tam -- Sam Tomkins, they
:03:05. > :03:12.inform player, might want to put his headphones back on.
:03:12. > :03:19.# Sam will tear you apart again! Warrington are the Challenge Cup
:03:19. > :03:25.kings at the moment. Victorious in 09/10 and going for three and a row
:03:25. > :03:30.this season. But Wigan are no mugs. After a barren few years they are
:03:30. > :03:35.back in the big time and they arrive here as Super League
:03:35. > :03:41.champions. They will want to be rid of this
:03:41. > :03:47.statistic, their last Wembley win was in 1995, the final one of that
:03:47. > :03:51.amazing run of eight. That was a run that captivated a
:03:51. > :03:55.teenage Michael Maguire back in Australia. He returns home at the
:03:55. > :04:02.end of the season wanting to have got his hands on the famous old
:04:02. > :04:06.trophy. It is a glorious July afternoon in
:04:06. > :04:12.Warrington. The Halliwell Jones is bathed in sunshine, the place is
:04:12. > :04:16.sold out and the fans are buzzing about. There is a real, great
:04:16. > :04:21.expectation here ahead of the Carnegie Challenge Cup quarter-
:04:21. > :04:26.final, but that man is particularly glum. A Lee Briers is out of the
:04:26. > :04:30.match. Welcome, we are pitch side here.
:04:30. > :04:34.This has pleased the former Wigan manager Brian Noble, because we are
:04:34. > :04:40.in front of the Wigan fans. Jonathan Davies, the former
:04:40. > :04:43.Warrington star, is a little bit more worried about our position. It
:04:43. > :04:50.more worried about our position. It is a sensational weekend of Rugby
:04:50. > :05:00.League. There are three matches tomorrow.
:05:00. > :05:04.
:05:04. > :05:08.That will be live on BBC Two from Jonathan, we will talk about the
:05:08. > :05:16.general excitement and how the place is buzzing in a moment, but
:05:16. > :05:23.there is a real blow for Warrington and their fans with no Lee Briers?
:05:23. > :05:27.He is primarily their main kicker, they will miss his kicking. Also
:05:27. > :05:33.his defensive play, his diversionary skills are great. They
:05:33. > :05:37.will miss him. Bridge is slightly inexperienced. How difficult is it
:05:37. > :05:42.when you lose one of your main them? Not ideal, but they have
:05:42. > :05:50.played without him recently for a number of games, and played pretty
:05:50. > :05:55.well. I just really, really think that it will not be to put it all.
:05:55. > :06:05.You need your best players, but they do not have him. -- I just
:06:05. > :06:07.
:06:07. > :06:12.think that it will not beat who put After beating Hull KR at the end of
:06:12. > :06:15.May, lacklustre Wigan began due with defeat to Catalans Dragons.
:06:15. > :06:20.The visitors were never in it and The visitors were never in it and
:06:20. > :06:24.went down 20-12. On a day of strange results after
:06:24. > :06:34.the international against the excels, they laboured to a draw at
:06:34. > :06:40.
:06:40. > :06:46.They bounced back immediately with a win at St Helens, which took them
:06:46. > :06:52.back to the top of the Super League table. They were outstanding in the
:06:52. > :06:58.first half. first half.
:06:58. > :07:02.Their defence limited Saints' chances in the second half.
:07:02. > :07:08.Up next was a convincing win over Huddersfield, before Pat Richards
:07:09. > :07:12.made the difference in a tense victory over Leeds. Three more wins
:07:12. > :07:17.have followed since then and the reigning champions are back at the
:07:17. > :07:21.top of the table. Jonathan, back on top and back in
:07:21. > :07:27.form? They did not have the greatest started the season? They
:07:27. > :07:34.have had a few odd results, shock defeats. This Wigan side has been
:07:34. > :07:39.the most consistent. But the Challenge Cup is a one-off game. I
:07:39. > :07:43.think the excitement... No one can pick a winner today. I think it is
:07:43. > :07:49.too close to call. They have plastered their dresser with former
:07:49. > :07:56.Wigan players, by the looks of it. Some sort of inspiration? If it is
:07:56. > :08:00.either that or Hollywood stars like Brad Pitt and George Clooney! It
:08:00. > :08:05.will be looking at what those people represent through the years,
:08:05. > :08:10.fabulous. Let's hear from the Wigan coach, Michael Maguire. It is his
:08:10. > :08:15.last chance to win the Challenge Cup before moving back to Australia.
:08:15. > :08:21.Everybody fit, healthy and raring to go? Yes. It is about the
:08:21. > :08:26.performance. Is Wigan buzzing? has been pretty crazy over last
:08:26. > :08:30.couple of months. It means a lot to everyone on the team, the players
:08:30. > :08:34.and the staff. We have had really good preparation over the last
:08:34. > :08:38.couple of months, we are looking forward to the opportunity.
:08:38. > :08:44.much does it mean to you? Everyone knows you are going home, what
:08:44. > :08:47.would it mean to get to Wembley? is about the team and about
:08:47. > :08:52.everyone. If we can progress today, hopefully we will have a good
:08:52. > :08:57.couple of weeks ahead. But I know you watched the Challenge Cup as a
:08:57. > :09:01.youngster, you would love that? Absolutely. And speaking to the
:09:01. > :09:08.players, lots of the young boys have watched the Challenge Cup over
:09:08. > :09:15.the years. It would mean a lot to everyone. Good luck. Thank you.
:09:15. > :09:21.What has Michael Maguire done since he took over Wigan? They looks
:09:21. > :09:26.stelae, they look for it. He has brought a discipline and a focus.
:09:26. > :09:30.He has let young men mature and grow up and deliver the trophy and
:09:30. > :09:34.the silverware that they were always ready to do. I thought they
:09:34. > :09:39.were on the cusp of being really good, and the focus that a new
:09:39. > :09:43.person brings has taken them to that level. They now have to look
:09:43. > :09:48.better placing him, which will be difficult. Shaun Wade has been
:09:48. > :09:54.linked, but nothing has been confirmed, he is the assistant.
:09:54. > :10:01.seems to be doing a good job. Wigan are such a big club, they can pour
:10:01. > :10:06.any one in. They will not rush, they can bring any one. It will be
:10:06. > :10:11.whether they do it from within or not. We are into the Warrington
:10:11. > :10:21.dressing room at the moment, no such pictures put up what was
:10:21. > :10:22.
:10:22. > :10:26.perhaps? -- no such pictures put up. What does that say? Some of them
:10:26. > :10:31.are just focusing on what will happen. It is a massive game, an
:10:31. > :10:40.incredible game. They may be ruthless but they are the great
:10:40. > :10:47.entertainers of Rugby League at the moment with points and dry galore.
:10:47. > :10:51.-- with points and it tries galore. In May, the signs were that the
:10:51. > :10:56.race for the Super League might be over, as Warrington completed the
:10:56. > :11:00.double over Leeds. Seven tries to one made the difference as they
:11:00. > :11:05.secured their first win at Headingley in seven years. There
:11:05. > :11:10.was a rude awakening when Salford came to town. Tony Smith used six
:11:10. > :11:19.players who had played for England the previous Friday, and it played
:11:19. > :11:24.-- it proved one game too many. Richie Myler's late try made at a
:11:24. > :11:28.frenetic end, but the home side's left it too late.
:11:29. > :11:34.This proved to be just a temporary setback, as Warrington have won
:11:34. > :11:39.their last five matches, including this one over St Helens, a first
:11:39. > :11:45.win against their local rivals since 2001.
:11:45. > :11:48.Warrington were without Morley and Lee Briers against Huddersfield,
:11:48. > :11:53.but a later Louis Anderson try was enough.
:11:53. > :12:03.Their most recent win at Harlequins saw them move within one point of
:12:03. > :12:08.
:12:08. > :12:18.the league leaders, and today's the top two, and the best defence,
:12:18. > :12:19.
:12:19. > :12:24.Wigan, Against the best attack, Tony Smith, without Lee Briers and
:12:24. > :12:27.Ben Harrison, how big a blow is that? A little bit. We have trained
:12:27. > :12:32.without them through most of the week, they have not been able to
:12:32. > :12:37.train, but we are still OK about our team. Always good to have both
:12:37. > :12:44.those players in our squad, but we are not really focusing on who is
:12:44. > :12:50.not in, we are focusing on who is in and what they can do. How have
:12:50. > :12:54.you reshuffled? They are all in there. Bridge will play. But we
:12:54. > :12:59.will have a couple of shifts within the game, a couple of people
:12:59. > :13:02.playing different roles. We will have to see. You have had a pretty
:13:02. > :13:08.straightforward passage to this stage, you could not have got a
:13:08. > :13:13.much tougher game than today? one, it should be a great game.
:13:13. > :13:16.Both teams are very good, they both like to play a lot of rugby and
:13:16. > :13:21.defend well. I think it will be the team who can take their chances on
:13:21. > :13:26.the day, that is crucial. It has the makings of a great game, but if
:13:26. > :13:30.you are going to progress in this competition you will probably have
:13:30. > :13:37.to beat Arab opponents today. That is our task, that is what we are
:13:37. > :13:43.setting out to do. Good luck. Thank you.
:13:43. > :13:47.Harrison, Adrian Morley, two of the players, with Lee Briers, who are
:13:47. > :13:53.missing today. I heard Darren Campbell talking about Usain Bolt
:13:53. > :13:57.on Five Live, he said he does not have a plan, he just runs. Do
:13:57. > :14:02.Warrington just play rugby? They have certain rules. They will have
:14:02. > :14:06.to look after the ball a bit better, but they played expensively. If
:14:06. > :14:12.they can make a fast pass, they will risk anything to play right
:14:12. > :14:17.across the field. They have a freakish ability to score points?
:14:17. > :14:21.They are superb, the execution and distribution is amazing, so
:14:21. > :14:31.clinical. When the chances come, they usually finish them. Let's
:14:31. > :14:34.find out more about the Warrington Am going to make sure that I do not
:14:34. > :14:40.get in anyone's way, because I have to play tomorrow and I don't want
:14:40. > :14:46.to get run over the top of! When I grow up, I just wanted to be just
:14:46. > :14:50.like these players, Michael Monaghan. He is being one of the
:14:50. > :14:54.most pivotal players in Super League as well as the Challenge Cup.
:14:54. > :14:58.Here they go to man, a half-back turned into a logo. He is so great
:14:58. > :15:02.because when he is carrying the ball, began pick the right man with
:15:02. > :15:07.the right call at the right pass at the right time. When he does carry
:15:07. > :15:10.the ball out, he will pick it up and move forward. Most who goes
:15:10. > :15:15.like to move sideways and get away from the defenders. But he will
:15:15. > :15:19.move forward, and one that does is bring his own forwards are flat so
:15:19. > :15:22.they have the advantage line, keeping the opposition on the back
:15:23. > :15:27.foot. Another great thing, when he gives them the ball out the back,
:15:27. > :15:31.it gives them the time and distance to play. That is what Warrington
:15:31. > :15:36.really needs. In Wigan are going to be successful, they need to control
:15:37. > :15:41.the speed of the play-the-ball and the DI jumping out. We will hear
:15:41. > :15:46.more from Robbie during the course of the afternoon. Normally that
:15:46. > :15:52.would be one of the hardest men in the stadium, but not as where rugby
:15:52. > :15:58.league is concerned. Roy Keane enjoys the support. Sam Tomkins is
:15:58. > :16:04.crucial for Wigan. He is on fire. He has got the X Factor. If Wigan
:16:04. > :16:10.are struggling, began interject at any time. They are in the tunnel
:16:10. > :16:14.mouth, the most exciting thing is that they like to hit teams heart
:16:14. > :16:19.in the first 20 minutes. They like to put teams away in the first
:16:19. > :16:25.trendy, and that will be crucial. It is too close to call. The
:16:25. > :16:33.defence could win the game. It is as noisy and anything, it is all
:16:33. > :16:37.been anticipating this with the kind of nervous tension that is
:16:37. > :16:42.normally reserved for the final itself. It is a fantastic
:16:42. > :16:45.atmosphere. England's current number one team against England's
:16:45. > :16:55.current number two, and you could spend all day arguing which is
:16:55. > :16:55.
:16:55. > :17:52.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds
:17:52. > :17:59.which. This is how they line up primrose and blue, the Warrington
:17:59. > :18:03.side kicking off. Two really traditional colours, two really
:18:03. > :18:10.traditional sides going head today -- head to head today. They can
:18:10. > :18:15.only be one. My word, it is going to take some sort out, John Kear.
:18:15. > :18:20.We expect Warrington to put in Great tackles against Wigan.
:18:20. > :18:30.Believe you me, Wigan can attack, Warrington can defend. This has got
:18:30. > :18:33.
:18:33. > :18:37.all the hallmarks of an absolutely said any opening drives from
:18:37. > :18:47.Wigan's point of view. Carrying it as far as they can and then kicking.

:19:00. > :19:01.
:19:01. > :19:06.metre mark. Quite windy. The wind predominantly is behind the Wigan
:19:06. > :19:11.Warriors. The Wolves have a 20 metre restart. In Challenge Cup
:19:11. > :19:16.terms, this is the old Empire meeting the new world. Wigan once
:19:16. > :19:21.owned this competition. Winning it was at an annual event, but it is
:19:21. > :19:25.16 years since their last won at the famous venue. Warrington have
:19:25. > :19:35.brought back the cup for the last two years running. They are the
:19:35. > :19:45.
:19:45. > :19:55.side in the ascendancy in this are, Mattie Blythe getting a bit of

:19:56. > :20:05.treatment. The wind is playing its backwards. It is a scramble. What
:20:05. > :20:08.does he give here? A knock-on against whom? The referee has given

:21:46. > :21:53.third consecutive time they have to survive. Warrington lost the
:21:53. > :21:59.opportunity. That is a defensive when, that one. Penalty against the
:21:59. > :22:09.Warrington Wolves. What a great defence from the Wigan Warriors on

:22:11. > :22:17.men in the tackle, and Michael Monaghan stripped the ball out, and
:22:17. > :22:27.it is a relief of the Wigan Warriors. Richards uses the wind,
:22:27. > :22:28.
:22:28. > :22:33.We will keep going on about it, it is going to be a factor today! It
:22:33. > :22:43.seems to me that it is behind Wigan's backs at the moment.

:22:51. > :23:01.Whether that is in our favour, we A nervous start from the Wigan
:23:01. > :23:07.Warriors. Good shape and structure, but the pass from the 10th could
:23:07. > :23:17.grasp the ball, and that has left the Wolves of again. There was an

:24:22. > :24:32.Wigan defences said. There was great fogeys in their defence,

:25:09. > :25:17.Deacon. Both teams are finding it very difficult to generate going
:25:17. > :25:22.forward. That might be the get-out clause. The referee penalises Wigan
:25:22. > :25:29.for holding down that fraction too long. A bit too long in the tackle,

:26:56. > :27:05.while it was in a field of play? King did not, I think it game off
:27:05. > :27:09.at Tomkins. It is tap 20. Matt King played the ball the last, so it is
:27:09. > :27:14.a tap 20 from the Wigan Warriors, and they will be mightily relieved
:27:14. > :27:19.at that. It was the right decision, wasn't it? Full marks to the
:27:19. > :27:25.referee for going to the big screen. Any time the ball goes out of play,
:27:25. > :27:28.they can go for clarification. It used to be just for try-scoring,

:27:51. > :28:00.the wind is blowing strongly as support on the inside! It is going
:28:00. > :28:06.to be a first try for Hansen! He just about got there, but the
:28:07. > :28:15.Warrington defence had pulled up. The Wigan fans are reaching for the
:28:15. > :28:19.skies! What a magnificent try that was by Harrison Hansen, but I just
:28:19. > :28:25.loves the build up, I loved the shape of this Wigan attacking
:28:25. > :28:30.structure. It went from vivid to vivid, then to the hooker, acting
:28:30. > :28:39.as a third vivid. He just jumped the line a little bit too much and
:28:39. > :28:45.gave Leuluai that little half gap. My word, did he go through! That is
:28:45. > :28:50.four points, what a magnificent try that was. So well structured and so
:28:50. > :28:55.well executed. Great composure under pressure from Thomas Leuluai,
:28:55. > :29:05.a good support from the big second row Harrison Hansen, who grounds
:29:05. > :29:13.
:29:13. > :29:19.the ball for a very, very, very almost 10 minutes played, Wigan
:29:19. > :29:28.find themselves with a 6-0 lead. And they deserved it. Brilliantly
:29:28. > :29:33.executed. They created the gap, so well furnished for the Wigan team,
:29:33. > :29:40.who were absolutely plowing through in support. And did and it mean a
:29:40. > :29:50.lot for them to get those first points? -- and it didn't it mean a
:29:50. > :30:09.
:30:09. > :30:19.blink of an eye, Wigan have two scores. Sam Tomkins, juniors. --
:30:19. > :30:26.
:30:26. > :30:34.genius. What a try that was. My word, what a try from Sam Tomkins.
:30:34. > :30:44.It was absolutely sensational. The ball just cleared the 10 metres.

:59:31. > :59:38.of pushing around the ball. His decision-making was superb. They
:59:38. > :59:44.great finish again from Richie Myler. How he is maturing.
:59:44. > :59:49.Sensational. But, to be fair, that is what we expected. But probably

:03:02. > :03:03.
:03:04. > :03:08.has got in touch on Twitter. Wigan went 22-0 up at one stage,
:03:08. > :03:16.Warrington have fought back. A Matt King has been absolutely
:03:16. > :03:21.instrumental, and two tries for Richie Myler. I have no idea how we

:03:38. > :03:43.There has to be more to come! Robbie and Tanya are on the
:03:43. > :03:51.touchline. What a half and what an atmosphere
:03:51. > :03:54.down here. Robbie, some that up for me? What a game! The first 25
:03:54. > :03:59.minutes, Wigan came on and played the type of rugby that Warrington
:03:59. > :04:03.play, but in the last 15 minutes, Warrington showed exactly what they
:04:03. > :04:08.can do and blew the game apart, they opened the game and started
:04:08. > :04:17.passing the ball from left to right and got back into the game. After
:04:17. > :04:20.25 minutes, I thought it was all over. How keen were Warrington?
:04:20. > :04:24.think one of the things they had to do was to start to get off the ball,
:04:24. > :04:29.because every time Wigan got a quick player Oren offload, every
:04:29. > :04:35.single one of their players was ready to go. Every time they made a
:04:35. > :04:39.half-break they had three or four players. I was feeling a little bit
:04:39. > :04:44.sorry for Paul Hodgson. This is exactly what we want to see from
:04:44. > :04:48.Warrington, some good points, setting up players and getting
:04:48. > :04:52.points on the ball. I thought there would be more defence today, but it
:04:52. > :04:57.has been more offensive. Can they keep going like this in the second
:04:57. > :05:01.half? Both teams will have to keep going like this. They have blown
:05:01. > :05:08.the game open. They will possibly play a bit more reserved for the
:05:08. > :05:13.first opening time, trying to keep the statistics. But I think Wigan
:05:13. > :05:16.will go for it and it will be a really high point-scoring game.
:05:16. > :05:23.really high point-scoring game. Let's take a look at some of these
:05:23. > :05:28.statistics from the first half. At one stage, Wigan were up around 60%
:05:28. > :05:34.in put out -- possession and territory, that was around 25
:05:34. > :05:39.minutes. Wigan have only missed one tackle, on Richie Myler's first
:05:39. > :05:46.drive. The tackle completion is so high, and there have been seven
:05:46. > :05:50.tries. It shows what an amazing first half, offensively, it was.
:05:50. > :05:54.What is being said in the Wigan dressing room? I think they are
:05:54. > :05:58.trying to recover. The last 15 minutes from Warrington, they took
:05:58. > :06:01.the momentum into the second half the momentum into the second half
:06:01. > :06:05.and I reckon they are shell-shocked. They have to stabilise everything.
:06:05. > :06:10.If we concentrate on what we did in the first 25, being physically
:06:10. > :06:14.dominant, winning the ruck and playing how we want to, then
:06:14. > :06:20.Warrington said, we don't care, we will throw the ball, break the game
:06:20. > :06:25.open, get penalties and momentum. You said the first 25 minutes was
:06:25. > :06:30.the best display you have seen? Definitely. You can't keep this up,
:06:30. > :06:38.I said. Wigan physically dominated Warrington, that is why they
:06:38. > :06:43.couldn't cope defensively. Once Wigan became tired, Warrington came
:06:43. > :06:48.back into it and they started offloading. The arm wrestle was
:06:48. > :06:53.physical in the first 25 minutes, then they were tired. It was an
:06:53. > :06:57.amazing first half. You can see how physical they were right at the
:06:57. > :07:02.start. They had three set to defend on their own line and they were
:07:02. > :07:12.immense. They never looked like conceding a try. They were
:07:12. > :07:15.
:07:15. > :07:23.physically dominant. Liu Wei was underneath, three people laugh. --
:07:23. > :07:26.Thomas Leuluai was underneath three people. They were physically
:07:26. > :07:31.people. They were physically dominant around the ruck. When both
:07:31. > :07:37.teams are winning in the ruck area, the little bit where they play the
:07:37. > :07:44.ball... It is interesting, the little dummy run. They Ramos in,
:07:44. > :07:50.held the inside runners, but a Richie Myler did not know what to
:07:50. > :07:56.do. Thomas Leuluai got on the outside. Brilliant player and a
:07:56. > :08:06.great finish. Is Richie Myler in a loose lose situation? He should
:08:06. > :08:06.
:08:06. > :08:13.hold the line. Should he go early or blocked jaw Thompson and -- Joel
:08:14. > :08:17.Tomkins? He did neither. We have seven tries to try to get through.
:08:17. > :08:27.The second one was a bit of individual brilliance that followed
:08:27. > :08:29.
:08:29. > :08:39.Man how might have dove on that ball, but Joel Tomkins cleaned up
:08:39. > :08:43.
:08:43. > :08:50.the mess. Monaghan could not get their. This was fabulous, fabulous.
:08:50. > :08:54.You were not going to catch him, what a fabulous finish. The two
:08:54. > :09:03.Warrington wing men are flat. Once he breaks and get some Brett
:09:03. > :09:09.Hodgson, it was a magnificent try. -- and gets on Brett Hodgson.
:09:09. > :09:16.is always a difference of opinion, John Kea called this straight away
:09:16. > :09:23.as a try, Jonathan, you were less sure? Only the video referee can
:09:23. > :09:31.call it. It was not clear. It was play on, it is just a missed tackle,
:09:31. > :09:35.one-on-one, a missed tackle. Coley showed great pace, a good finish.
:09:35. > :09:41.Jonathan is calling the video referee to be a Warrington fan!
:09:41. > :09:48.That was never going to be a try. You are not meant to give the
:09:48. > :09:55.secrets away! Speaking of pace, not the pace off
:09:55. > :10:05.feet but of hands for the 4th Wigan try. Amazing skill. Tomkins came in,
:10:05. > :10:09.amazing. That is as good a rugby try as you will see anywhere.
:10:09. > :10:17.People will say Monaghan should have come in more quickly, but at
:10:17. > :10:24.the skill of Carmont it just did him. Was that a better try than
:10:24. > :10:33.Tomkins' try? Tomkins would not think so! Tomkins will be ringing
:10:33. > :10:37.his mum and saying, can you text and say mine was the best?
:10:37. > :10:42.Tomkins' family can tweet, or they can e-mail!
:10:42. > :10:51.Let's move on to Warrington, Matt King has been influential? He has
:10:51. > :10:59.been amazing. His defence and were great were incredible. -- his
:11:00. > :11:04.defence and work rate. One thing this man can do is finish. This is
:11:04. > :11:09.an international winger. What he can do is finish. But his defensive
:11:09. > :11:13.work and taking the ball up, I thought, brought Warrington back
:11:13. > :11:18.into the game. We mentioned the forward was slightly shell-shocked
:11:18. > :11:23.and got a slight battering. Matt King made the difference, he was
:11:23. > :11:30.awesome. Sometimes just one player can turn your fortunes around, the
:11:30. > :11:35.bloke who decides to roll their the momentum of the game. Matt King
:11:35. > :11:40.has been that man this match. Only four times this season Richie
:11:40. > :11:49.Myler has failed to cross the line. You can see why. That was brilliant
:11:49. > :11:54.play by Brett Hodgson. He reminds me a lot of Edwards, in support.
:11:54. > :12:04.Brett Hodgson has had a bit of a shocker. He sucked in the winger,
:12:04. > :12:04.
:12:05. > :12:08.freed this man. He can sense and he knows that Richie Myler or Ryan
:12:08. > :12:13.Atkins should be with him. can't coach that positional
:12:13. > :12:18.awareness? You can do practise. A good friend of mine said that Rugby
:12:18. > :12:21.League is about tackling and backing up, and Richie Myler
:12:21. > :12:26.epitomises that. You have to anticipate and work out the
:12:26. > :12:32.quickest dangle you can get to a breakdown. You have to expect them
:12:32. > :12:37.to nick the ball, and when they do they catch the ball. But he is
:12:37. > :12:46.going to make the break, Myler said he was going to make a break, and
:12:46. > :12:52.he was Xu Ming to get their. Monaghan, as Robbie Paul said, this
:12:52. > :12:56.guy will always do something. Holding his run, not over running
:12:56. > :13:02.as a support player, just waiting for the opportunity. He is watching
:13:02. > :13:06.and watching, he has not overrun, he is waiting for the winger, and
:13:06. > :13:11.he scores. Charnley did well to come across, but when you have two
:13:11. > :13:17.good players you should always score. It has been a phenomenal
:13:17. > :13:22.first half's otherwise. The pace has been amazing. -- it has been a
:13:22. > :13:26.phenomenal first half, skill wise. Let's hope the second half is the
:13:26. > :13:33.same as the first. This is only the first part of a double-header on
:13:33. > :13:38.the BBC, let's hope tomorrow is as good as today. It is Hull against
:13:38. > :13:48.Leeds tomorrow, a re- run of the 2005 final, which John Kea in our
:13:48. > :13:49.
:13:49. > :13:57.commentary box will need no This is not only the Challenge Cup
:13:57. > :14:07.that we have to look forward to in 2011. The biggest and best, Wembley

:14:07. > :14:48.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds
:14:48. > :14:53.Wembley once again, the ideal venue. Rugby League back at Wembley as
:14:53. > :14:59.part of the Four Nations. You'll be able to see coverage on the BBC.
:14:59. > :15:02.New Zealand and Wales are the other teams involved. That gets under way
:15:02. > :15:08.on October 29th. 3rd November there is the England versus Australia
:15:08. > :15:12.game. Adrian Morley will hope to feature in that, he is outside with
:15:12. > :15:18.tiny up. He has just come out of the Warrington dressing room. What
:15:18. > :15:22.is being said in there? We are a bit of a roll at the moment. If you
:15:22. > :15:26.add give us that scoreline at that 20 minutes, we would have taken it.
:15:26. > :15:31.We have just got to keep on with it. If we can use the sun and wind to
:15:31. > :15:34.our advantage, hopefully there are a few more points in it.
:15:34. > :15:39.Disappointed with the first 20, but the second 20 was pretty good. We
:15:39. > :15:46.need to keep on with it. After the first 25, did you think, it is
:15:46. > :15:50.gone? Yeah, it did not look great. All the momentum was with Wigan.
:15:50. > :15:53.Our boys looked tired, making uncharacteristic errors. But
:15:53. > :15:58.thankfully they rallied and we had given ourselves a chance, so it is
:15:58. > :16:02.all to play for. What has Tony Smith told them to do? Just keep
:16:03. > :16:07.going as we were. The second 20 minutes was a very good. Just need
:16:07. > :16:17.to keep going with that. Hopefully there is a few more points and we
:16:17. > :16:19.
:16:19. > :16:24.will get the result. Thank you for by the reaction of the fans.
:16:24. > :16:27.Warrington are just out as well, congregating by the Tunnel, won
:16:27. > :16:31.last that talk before they take to the field. Fingers crossed for a
:16:31. > :16:40.second half just like the first in the company of John Kear and Dave
:16:40. > :16:44.first half, wasn't it? And a statement of the year? And just a
:16:44. > :16:50.matter of a darkened room after a good lie down, I am ready for the
:16:50. > :16:54.next 40! It has been fantastic. A text message from a mate who said,
:16:54. > :17:00.I'm supposed to be going to a barbecue, but I will go hungry, I
:17:00. > :17:07.am not missing this! 40 more minutes to go, and it looked at
:17:07. > :17:13.though it was done and dusted half an hour ago. Anything but now. 16
:17:13. > :17:17.points for Warrington, Wigan 22. If you're just joined us, Wigan were
:17:17. > :17:21.winning 22-0 after an electrifying start, but Warrington have come
:17:21. > :17:31.bouncing back into it, and this is the cup-tie and a little bit more
:17:31. > :17:49.
:17:49. > :17:59.that we expected. Solomona, the man Yes, the intent is there for all to
:17:59. > :18:06.
:18:06. > :18:10.see, Solomona struggling with the come. Pat Richards dropped that,
:18:10. > :18:16.but don't blame him, it took a wicked deflection, a real swerve in
:18:16. > :18:20.the air at the last minute as it came down. That is a great kick,
:18:20. > :18:26.though, isn't it? They were deep into the Wigan half, they put up a
:18:26. > :18:31.contested kick, and Pat Richards will be intensely disappointed.
:18:31. > :18:38.That is a big error, that one, because 20 metres from your own
:18:38. > :18:48.line. It means that Warrington have possession here, six tackles to
:18:48. > :18:56.
:18:56. > :19:02.outstanding in the Warrington recovery. Pointing and
:19:02. > :19:07.gesticulating, telling his troops were they need to be. My life,
:19:07. > :19:13.Bridge, Solomona goes over! Has he got it down? I think the referee
:19:13. > :19:18.might take a second opinion. No, he has pointed the finger! He is
:19:18. > :19:22.convinced that Solomona has touched it down, and when they kick to come,
:19:22. > :19:28.Warrington have very nearly hit parity again. They have continued
:19:28. > :19:32.with the momentum. That was a great first set, forcing the error. What
:19:32. > :19:39.a charge from the big fella. You certainly were not going to stop
:19:39. > :19:49.him. It all came from Pat Richards, a very high kick, putting the
:19:49. > :19:51.
:19:51. > :20:01.five metres from your own line. You just cannot. Look how well he
:20:01. > :20:10.
:20:10. > :20:14.did grounded, Dave, worry not, that is a try. It is on the scoreboard.
:20:14. > :20:24.A big game here now for Brett Hodgson, because if you put this
:20:24. > :20:27.
:20:27. > :20:34.over, extraordinarily, it is 22-22. behind the line, watching and
:20:34. > :20:37.waiting. They must be wondering what on earth is this wild wind
:20:37. > :20:46.which has been blowing in their direction when they thought they
:20:46. > :20:52.had the game. He has missed it. It is 22-20, and there is a long, long
:20:52. > :21:02.way to go. There it is, clear for all to say, he grounds the ball,
:21:02. > :21:04.
:21:04. > :21:14.and that is why those fans are has happened today! It happened
:21:14. > :21:15.
:21:15. > :21:20.just before the Sam Tomkins try Richards users. It has fallen over
:21:20. > :21:24.again. He uses that to get the elevation. Look how he plays with
:21:24. > :21:34.the ball as well. He does not take it in the orthodox way. It will
:21:34. > :21:44.
:21:44. > :21:49.was high! Andy Coley caught him. I know we have got a lot of people
:21:49. > :21:54.watching in Australia, and in fairness that was like the tackle
:21:54. > :21:59.when he was dragged into touch like a rag doll. He takes a lot of heavy
:21:59. > :22:09.not like that. He does not look like a rugby league player, but my
:22:09. > :22:12.
:22:12. > :22:22.word, he is, and we have got a would not have guessed that half an
:22:22. > :22:29.
:22:29. > :22:34.here. That will be a shame for the Wolves, because Solomona's
:22:34. > :22:38.introduction, the game swung with the momentum. He has banged his
:22:38. > :22:48.head on the ground as he has hit the ground. That is what has
:22:48. > :22:48.
:22:48. > :22:58.happened. I think it is a nave. -- neat. You see how the knees were
:22:58. > :23:03.brought together. It is shoulder that one again, that tackle. There
:23:03. > :23:08.has been a bit of a question mark hanging over Wigan's tackling at
:23:08. > :23:16.times, hasn't there? They try to keep their legs together, but with
:23:16. > :23:21.a big man like Solomona, they have tried to get the shoulder in. It
:23:21. > :23:30.was Andy Coley. That is not third- man, he is legitimately allowed to
:23:30. > :23:40.bring him down. There is nothing wrong with that. No, no. But he has
:23:40. > :23:43.
:23:43. > :23:47.in the pack. Lee Briers also absence today. It looks like
:23:47. > :23:51.Solomona may have played his last as well. That is a big shame for
:23:51. > :23:55.the Wolves, because when he was introduced, that coincided with the
:23:55. > :24:01.momentum changed, and he obviously scored that class try. He has been
:24:01. > :24:11.very important for the Warrington Wolves and he will be a big mess on

:26:22. > :26:26.for Warrington, a boost for Wigan. Some good hits going in at the
:26:26. > :26:30.moment. Yes, you feel that Wigan have just got their way back into
:26:30. > :26:35.the game a little. The momentum was with Warrington, but that break in
:26:35. > :26:45.play with Solomona has allowed Wigan to gain some composure. It is

:28:43. > :28:49.run around, calm and there is a great job as a centre. We spoke
:28:49. > :28:53.earlier about his hands, the quick hands, in and out to riches. This

:44:14. > :44:21.clever kicking. I think they are all onside. That his question one,
:44:21. > :44:29.I believe. Question two, the challenge. All eyes are on the ball.
:44:29. > :44:35.Joel Tomkins knocks it back. That will need another looking at, I
:44:35. > :44:41.believe. Paul Deakin really played well at the end it just to release
:44:41. > :44:49.Charnley. But that is the question which is up in the air initially.
:44:49. > :44:55.He knocks it backwards. Them for words. Oh, my word! For them -- for
:44:55. > :45:03.me, I would give that as a try. He pushed it back to Paul Deacon. I
:45:03. > :45:13.like his composure. Question three, he has grounded it. It can't knock-
:45:13. > :45:16.
:45:16. > :45:19.on, because it did not hit anybody. It is an affirmative in Wigan's
:45:19. > :45:28.favour, so they keep themselves just their head in this long-
:45:28. > :45:34.beginning to close, and Warrington, for all their efforts, just cannot
:45:34. > :45:40.keep up. It came from that kick of which gained them field position.
:45:40. > :45:50.Who is to say that Pat Richards, who engineered that field position,
:45:50. > :45:52.
:45:52. > :45:57.will not nail this as well? It is a vital, vital, vital kick. This will
:45:57. > :46:02.make it 42... Warrington will have to score twice and Kate two goals
:46:02. > :46:08.to take the lead. Richards has put it wide. It remains an eight-point
:46:08. > :46:13.difference. They still have to score twice, Warrington, but only
:46:13. > :46:18.convert one of those tries to take the lead. That is a clever kick
:46:18. > :46:22.from Finch. He made King come in the field to claim it. That allowed
:46:22. > :46:27.Tomkins to knock the ball back. Really clever play from Brent Finch
:46:27. > :46:32.and a pretty good finish from Josh Charnley. He is a player worth
:46:32. > :46:42.watching, Josh Charnley, a big future ahead of him. He's only 20,
:46:42. > :46:44.
:46:44. > :46:54.isn't he? He has been phenomenal minutes to go, eight points is the
:46:54. > :47:05.
:47:05. > :47:15.difference. When we finish, the red against Leeds Rhinos at 3:15pm at
:47:15. > :47:23.
:47:23. > :47:30.Warrington do the work. Make them bring it back from here. How do
:47:30. > :47:36.wind and bring it back? Maybe Chris Riley has an idea. Can you get this
:47:36. > :47:40.back? Is the confidence of there? In the first half we was down in
:47:40. > :47:44.the dance, but we called it right back. There is still a lot of time
:47:44. > :47:51.to go, we can get a few points on the board. They just keep edging
:47:51. > :47:56.ahead. They keep their tails and front. They are very confident, I
:47:56. > :48:00.am sure we can get right back in this game. How are the nurse?
:48:00. > :48:07.up and down in the seat. The last heave pulling me up and putting me
:48:07. > :48:11.down, pretty exciting. Enjoy the next quarter of an hour. I am sure
:48:11. > :48:20.there are a few cities around the country would have been up and down
:48:20. > :48:27.as people get excited about the game. Good hands from life. --
:48:27. > :48:34.Blythe. That is a good chase, Dave, an outstanding chase. He has lost
:48:34. > :48:40.it! It went backwards. Charlie has picked it up and seen a gap! --
:48:40. > :48:46.Charnley. He sidestepped Hodgson's superbly. What a try this is going
:48:46. > :48:52.to be! Atkins could not get there, it is a match-winner, and
:48:52. > :48:58.absolutely magical, marvellous moment from Josh Charnley. The
:48:58. > :49:03.video referee is being called for. All of that initial jump, never
:49:03. > :49:08.mind the quality of the finish, was there something wrong in Tomkins
:49:08. > :49:14.dropping the ball? We will have to look at that, but what a finish. It
:49:14. > :49:22.was a great chase. It was a good kick at a great chase, and it is
:49:22. > :49:28.how the ball comes free. Visit a penalty or a try? Drive. It is a
:49:28. > :49:33.steel, anyway, isn't it? Advantage, this will be a try. As long as the
:49:33. > :49:40.pick up was clean. The pick up was a OK, I will tell you. The evasion
:49:40. > :49:50.was first class, but these beading was outstanding! -- these beat.
:49:50. > :49:54.
:49:54. > :49:58.Look at that rate composure from and I think that, with Richard'
:49:58. > :50:06.conversion, may well sealed the game, and I think Charnley knows
:50:06. > :50:11.that from his reaction. -- Richards. Here comes the decision. Here comes
:50:11. > :50:18.the decision. The big screen will tell us, it is a try for Josh
:50:18. > :50:24.Charnley! And surely it is the match for Wigan. And what a way to
:50:24. > :50:29.win a Challenge Cup tie like this. Phenomenal try, that, that was a
:50:29. > :50:33.great individual efforts there, out of nothing. It was a solid chase
:50:33. > :50:39.from the Warrington Wolves, the ball came free, and what a finish.
:50:39. > :50:47.This is to make it 14 points, the difference. This could mean the
:50:47. > :50:53.game, Dave. Final a few Wigan fans will have got in in their hearts. -
:50:53. > :50:56.- I know. The Challenge Cup final against Warrington back in 1985, a
:50:56. > :51:04.certain John Ferguson's got a try of absolute quality, and I will
:51:04. > :51:09.tell you, is try in a quarter-final in 2011 is right up there. I love
:51:09. > :51:13.how he beats Hodgson, beautiful right faster! He looks around. He
:51:13. > :51:18.says, I have got these days in front of me, I have got the pace,
:51:18. > :51:22.and although Atkins was chasing, it was forlorn. He knows exactly what
:51:22. > :51:27.that means. That may well mean semi-final football for the
:51:27. > :51:32.Warriors. Well, here we go, Warrington have done it once. Have
:51:32. > :51:37.they got time to do it again? 13 minutes left to play. They have to
:51:37. > :51:47.score three times. I will tell you what, you would not say it is
:51:47. > :52:13.
:52:13. > :52:18.impossible, the way this game has Joel Monaghan had no right to get
:52:18. > :52:22.there, but I think he might have got the touchdown. This is
:52:22. > :52:28.unbelievable, this game is unbelievable. He does not know. It
:52:28. > :52:32.is a bit of ingenuity for the little brother kick behind Richards
:52:32. > :52:36.for Joel Monaghan to chase, and he committed himself fully, but I
:52:37. > :52:46.think his body language gives you the answer. He is certainly onside,
:52:47. > :52:56.
:52:56. > :53:02.palms it's dead. That will be the big one, it will be the restart.
:53:02. > :53:08.Visit a drop out under the posts? I think that could be Richards. So it
:53:08. > :53:13.is not a try, it is how we restart the game. I think it is Richards
:53:13. > :53:23.that put that ball dead. He can add that to his all-round performance,
:53:23. > :53:27.
:53:27. > :53:32.now have the game is restarted. me, that is Richards that has made
:53:33. > :53:41.it there. If that his case, it is a drop out under the posts. He has
:53:41. > :53:46.made his decision. No try, we knew that, goal line drop out. It was
:53:46. > :53:56.Pat Richards. He got the final touch. But a good effort by Joel
:53:56. > :54:01.
:54:01. > :54:06.take something absolutely astonishing now for Warrington to
:54:06. > :54:12.pull this one out. They did produce something very close to absolutely
:54:12. > :54:22.astonishing in the first half. Guinness try, one tie creates dance,
:54:22. > :54:23.
:54:23. > :54:30.but a knock-on like this does not help. -- in this type, one try to
:54:30. > :54:40.create Dowds. Paul Wood was very disappointed, the first tackle...
:54:40. > :54:50.It is very tight, the contact in Ayr. That has forced the air. --
:54:50. > :55:06.
:55:06. > :55:16.Dave, it has been absolutely first class. Tomkins still posing a
:55:16. > :55:16.
:55:16. > :55:57.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds
:55:57. > :56:02.themselves up, but the referee said there was nothing wrong with it. --
:56:02. > :56:12.Lee Mill. I do not know whether read Hodge and would agree with
:56:12. > :56:13.
:56:13. > :56:23.that. -- Brett Osh and. It was high, around the neck. I think that is a
:56:23. > :56:28.
:56:28. > :56:33.mistake. He has not made many this the Halliwell Jones Stadium, the
:56:33. > :56:37.shadows lengthening on Warrington's hopes of a Wembley return. They won
:56:37. > :56:43.last year and the year before, but they are going to go out in the
:56:43. > :56:50.quarter-final here. Tomkins threatening something special again,
:56:50. > :57:00.but Mickey Higham hung on. magnificent collection by Tomkins,
:57:00. > :57:03.
:57:03. > :57:06.pick-up. He is asking questions of the defence. It is not a matter of
:57:07. > :57:14.just claiming the ball and play safe, he says, are you going to
:57:14. > :57:24.stop me? He makes that look very easy, but he is running past world-
:57:24. > :57:49.
:57:49. > :57:53.class defenders. A chance here for year, we do not know, but McGuire
:57:53. > :58:03.is leaving at the end of this season. We have not been told if he

:58:16. > :58:20.has been told that he will be the referee has seen a forward pass.
:58:20. > :58:24.Yes, the Magic hands letting him down a little with a forward pass,
:58:24. > :58:28.but he has had a great game in the centre of position, hasn't he? He
:58:28. > :58:32.has shown a full range of defensive and offensive skills that he needs
:58:33. > :58:42.to play that position. He cannot believe it has been given as a

:58:52. > :58:57.with for a game which has, for two- thirds or three quarters of the
:58:58. > :59:01.time, given us an absolutely ding- dong contest. It now looks like

:59:11. > :59:47.
:59:47. > :59:57.themselves to attack. They have not given up yet. They need to score

:01:21. > :01:24.from Warrington, but an outstanding one from Wigan. The quality of the
:01:24. > :01:29.other quarter-finalists means it will be a very tough route through

:02:51. > :03:12.

:03:20. > :03:26.Shaunnah Lachlan. He is the man who will write his name on the
:03:26. > :03:32.scoresheet. No chance now, Sean O'Loughlin with the try. Wigan are
:03:32. > :03:37.on their way to the semi-finals. is an outstanding Rugby League
:03:37. > :03:45.player. I think it is a great way to finish an epic encounter, with
:03:45. > :03:48.the captain sealing victory. But it was magic again for Sam Tomkins.
:03:48. > :03:56.King did really well to try to recover, but that was a forced
:03:56. > :04:01.error from Sam Tomkins. Just look at that. He has the vision. He
:04:01. > :04:09.challenges once again, forces the area, and the big fellow, Sean
:04:09. > :04:16.O'Loughlin, the Wigan captain, just seals it. He is a very controlled
:04:16. > :04:26.character. To see that kind of a response to scoring that dry tells

:04:40. > :04:46.you just how much it means to him. in how the domestic season pans out,
:04:46. > :04:50.they still have a chance of being in the Grand Final of the Super
:04:50. > :05:00.League. But domestic honours will not include the Challenge Cup for
:05:00. > :05:20.
:05:20. > :05:29.at the Warrington end. -- and the seats are emptying. It has been
:05:29. > :05:33.very, very conclusive in the end. That was some skill, to read that,
:05:34. > :05:37.his decision-making was first class. I am very pleased for Shauna
:05:37. > :05:47.Lachlan, he has been a stock or water Wigan when things have not
:05:47. > :06:01.
:06:01. > :06:08.been going well -- I am very going to Wembley. But there is a
:06:08. > :06:12.very big hurdle to come, the semi- final. Nothing is certain. There
:06:12. > :06:17.was a semi-final against Catalan, they were red hot favourite to go
:06:17. > :06:24.through, they came up short. I think Michael Maguire will remind
:06:24. > :06:34.them of that in the meantime. restart the Warrington. Michael
:06:34. > :06:55.
:06:55. > :07:01.forlorn figure in the shadows. How big a mess he has been. -- a miss.
:07:01. > :07:04.It might have been different if he was on the pitch. I think by the
:07:04. > :07:10.time this scrum has happened there will only be a couple of plays at
:07:10. > :07:17.the most. Wigan know they are through. 30 seconds left, how good
:07:17. > :07:21.has Wigan been? Outstanding. That first 20 or 25 minutes was a Rugby
:07:21. > :07:27.League master class, and since then they have hung in with Chev defence,
:07:27. > :07:36.great individual work. Their work rate is phenomenal. The scoreline
:07:36. > :07:41.reflects their performance, superb. It has been a long, long time since
:07:41. > :07:44.Wigan went down Wembley way. They have taken a step closer today.
:07:44. > :07:49.They have an awfully big challenge to come with a semi-final in a
:07:49. > :07:55.couple of weeks, but they have put out one of their biggest rivals
:07:55. > :08:00.today, and put them out in style. Warrington were magical in spells,
:08:00. > :08:10.but they could not keep it up for long enough. Wigan, after an
:08:10. > :08:19.
:08:19. > :08:26.electrifying start and powerful And only now can we draw breath.
:08:26. > :08:32.Goodness me, Brian Noble. extremely tiring game to watch, let
:08:32. > :08:36.alone playing. I don't know how many tries we have seen, 14 or 15.
:08:36. > :08:41.The scoreline probably does not reflect how close Warrington got.
:08:41. > :08:46.The difference in the second half was the penalties, I think four or
:08:46. > :08:50.five penalties on the bounce, it just killed the momentum and gave
:08:51. > :08:54.Wigan the key position. They kept nudging forward and forwards. He
:08:54. > :08:58.will be disappointed with the discipline in the second half, not
:08:58. > :09:04.the effort, but definitely the discipline.
:09:04. > :09:10.Let's go pitch-side, Tanya is with the man of the match. Pat Richards,
:09:10. > :09:15.congratulations, Carnegie man of the match, what a game. Thank you.
:09:15. > :09:22.Everyone played as a team, we were really up for it. Can you believe
:09:22. > :09:30.the start you made? We wanted to start well. Every other team worked
:09:30. > :09:36.well, but they came back, it is pretty good. What did the coach say
:09:36. > :09:40.at half-time? Just stick to it. I think we did that pretty well. It
:09:40. > :09:46.is a great atmosphere here. much does it mean to progress in
:09:46. > :09:52.the Challenge Cup? A lot. Everybody knows about Wigan's history, we
:09:52. > :10:00.wanted to write our own history and get back to Wembley, but there is
:10:00. > :10:06.another game to go. Sean O'Loughlin, you enjoyed that try? Yes.
:10:06. > :10:16.special was a team's performance? It has to be up there? Yes. We
:10:16. > :10:16.
:10:16. > :10:20.always knew it was going to be a tough game. It is very special to
:10:20. > :10:26.get a win here in the Challenge Cup. get a win here in the Challenge Cup.
:10:26. > :10:32.Congratulations. 13 tries this afternoon if my maths
:10:32. > :10:37.is correct, Wigan finishing 44-24 victors. We will be at Hull FC
:10:37. > :10:43.tomorrow for their game against Leeds, and Castle Philipp play
:10:43. > :10:49.Huddersfield, St Helens play Hull KR. We will be off our shortly, but
:10:49. > :10:55.we will be on the red button. -- we will be off the air on BBC Two
:10:55. > :10:59.shortly, but we will be on the red shortly, but we will be on the red
:10:59. > :11:05.button. There is an awful lot still to discuss after that game.
:11:05. > :11:08.Absolutely. An end to end classic, that is what it was. Controversial
:11:08. > :11:15.moments through the game, momentum swinging both ways, but with
:11:15. > :11:22.players like Tomkins and blue light, and I thought that Carmont was very
:11:22. > :11:26.good. -- players like Tomkins and Thomas Leuluai. Tony Smith said in
:11:26. > :11:33.his pre-match interview that the one who took their chances would
:11:33. > :11:36.win. I felt they were more clinical, especially Carmont. When they had
:11:36. > :11:42.the opportunities they exposed the defence of the Warrington right
:11:42. > :11:49.hand side and finished them off, whereas a few opportunities went
