:00:45. > :00:51.This statue outside the Halliwell Jones Stadium commemorates their
:00:51. > :00:56.greatest-ever player, who 50 years ago this week scored his 740 if and
:00:56. > :01:03.final try for the club. He was one of the side that did the cup and
:01:03. > :01:12.league double in 1954. Their Challenge Cup record isn't bad,
:01:12. > :01:22.they have won it twice in the last three years. Warrington have the
:01:22. > :01:32.
:01:32. > :01:40.early lead. What a fabulous try! Superb! Simon Gregg's of their hat-
:01:40. > :01:46.trick. The celebrations begin. Wembley winners twice now. That's a
:01:46. > :01:51.special achievement for this Warrington side. Given the
:01:51. > :01:57.intensity of the Bradford Bulls's dressing room, they know that the
:01:57. > :02:00.club needs a cup win. They are on the edge of financial meltdown,
:02:00. > :02:08.they will do their best to make sure they make it to Wembley. They
:02:08. > :02:12.have the best a towels I've ever seen, they need a bit of bully.
:02:12. > :02:22.Believe me, they won't throw the towel in me in the attempt to win
:02:22. > :02:23.
:02:23. > :02:28.the Cup. They last won it in 2003. With Mick Potter at the helm they
:02:28. > :02:38.will try and upset the odds as he did with Catalan Dragons, taking
:02:38. > :02:39.
:02:39. > :02:47.them to the final in 2007. Warrington's run of 12 matches
:02:47. > :02:55.unbeaten in the Challenge Cup came to an end with an unlucky 13 with
:02:55. > :02:59.defeat to Wigan last year. Coach Tony Smith has said his big men up
:02:59. > :03:09.front will have to pack a punch, metaphorically at least. They will
:03:09. > :03:15.
:03:15. > :03:22.be missing their captain Adrian Morley. In his absence, the captain
:03:22. > :03:27.is Lee Briers. They do love the Challenge Cup. The Warrington fans
:03:27. > :03:32.will be in full voice, they have the advantage of the home side in
:03:32. > :03:42.this fifth round match. The Bradford coach arrived a few hours
:03:42. > :03:47.ago. Mick Potter planning a big upset. Full credit to the Bradford
:03:47. > :03:53.fans, they are supporting their club with money. We have mentioned
:03:53. > :03:59.their financial strife, they need �1 million to avoid administration,
:03:59. > :04:08.and �500,000 of that has been raised by the fans. A big pat on
:04:08. > :04:16.the back to them. This is the prize that is on offer, the trophy, and
:04:16. > :04:24.the prize-money. This cup has such issues history, it means an awful
:04:24. > :04:32.lot to both of these sides, a place in the quarter-finals is what's on
:04:32. > :04:42.offer. We were expecting it to be very cold, it's not best cold. --
:04:42. > :04:49.
:04:49. > :04:58.it's not this cold. I went from Eskimo lurk. -- I went for a Eskimo
:04:58. > :05:06.look at. It is a contrast in styles. Bradford have a massive size. They
:05:06. > :05:10.all want to put pressure on the Warrington goal line. They were
:05:10. > :05:17.trying speeded up, Bradford will try and slow down. To give Bradford
:05:17. > :05:25.any chance? To a I do. They are a big team. There is always a chance.
:05:25. > :05:30.I wonder where the spark will come from for Bradford. Warrington don't
:05:30. > :05:37.lack class anywhere in the field. They will be really thankful that
:05:37. > :05:44.it has stayed dry. Warrington are still out warming up. Bradford are
:05:44. > :05:54.already in their changing room. With Cup matches you can chuck
:05:54. > :06:08.
:06:08. > :06:18.former out of the window. -- the formbook. It was a really great
:06:18. > :06:22.
:06:22. > :06:30.fright against Wigan. They eventually won a 32-16. St Helens
:06:30. > :06:38.ran in 76 points against Oldham. They are into the quarter-finals.
:06:38. > :06:45.Catalan Dragons and Sheffield play later on today. As well as covering
:06:45. > :06:50.today's match, we will also be on the red button. We will discuss the
:06:50. > :06:55.plight of preferred, and all of the Rugby League issues. We will show
:06:55. > :07:05.you all the tries from that Wigan game. What does Warrington against
:07:05. > :07:08.
:07:08. > :07:12.Bradford mean? Heres our guide. -- here is.
:07:13. > :07:22.These encounters have always been feisty affairs. It is the Bulls to
:07:23. > :07:28.
:07:28. > :07:38.have had more bite -- who have had more bite. He is in the! -- he is
:07:38. > :07:45.
:07:45. > :07:49.in! He follows up to score. I think he got it down. Warrington
:07:49. > :07:58.currently set for third in Super League, the highlight being this
:07:58. > :08:03.dramatic victory at Wigan. Although they lost 2 St Helens a week later
:08:03. > :08:06.they also got a good victory against Castleford. Bradford's
:08:06. > :08:12.problems have been well-documented, on the field it has been a mixed
:08:13. > :08:19.bag. They lost at home to the Giants. Six wins and six defeats
:08:19. > :08:23.mean they are clinging on to that last play-off place.
:08:23. > :08:33.Warrington have been pretty exciting to watch, 66 tries, that
:08:33. > :08:34.
:08:34. > :08:44.is the second best. They have the highest error count. They are third
:08:44. > :08:46.
:08:46. > :08:52.and 8th. What is the Bradford game plan today? Their former star
:08:52. > :08:56.player can tell us. The best way to make �500,000 is to
:08:56. > :09:01.win the Challenge Cup final. It will not be an easy task for
:09:01. > :09:10.Bradford, they are bigger underdogs. They do have some strengths. They
:09:10. > :09:20.are one of the biggest teams in the Super League. No-one is finer than
:09:20. > :09:21.
:09:22. > :09:26.Craig Kopczak. He's great at leading the line. Tom Burgess, and
:09:26. > :09:32.absolutely great player. He is making a name from self-. At no
:09:32. > :09:42.better place than in the Challenge Cup. Also in the backs, many see
:09:42. > :09:44.
:09:44. > :09:50.manner cuts are -- Manese Manuokafoa, he is a big talent.
:09:50. > :09:57.These are the players they will be using to set a platform. They will
:09:57. > :10:01.need to step up to the plate. Fantastic stuff from rugby, even
:10:01. > :10:11.when he was almost getting knocked over. Feels like it may start
:10:11. > :10:11.
:10:11. > :10:19.raining. They are starting to dance. I am bigger within Bascott. -- I am
:10:19. > :10:27.a big fan of the Bascott. They have Luke Gale coming back, he
:10:27. > :10:31.has been day for them. He was not season by from the Broncos. -- he
:10:31. > :10:41.has been a big player for them. He was bought from the Broncos. They
:10:41. > :10:43.
:10:43. > :10:46.have a chance today, Forshaw. -- for sure.
:10:46. > :10:51.Tony, a Challenge Cup, it has certainly suited yourself in
:10:51. > :10:58.previous years? We didn't have as much luck as we would have liked
:10:58. > :11:03.last year. We do enjoy. It is a good change, everybody speaks about
:11:03. > :11:12.the romance of the Cup, and areas. It is all about performing on the
:11:12. > :11:16.day. A you have had to shuffle the pack, taking a bit of a gamble?
:11:17. > :11:25.is a bit of a risk. He has had one- and-a-half weeks a full training.
:11:25. > :11:32.He is ready to go. They are a field positioned either team. They put
:11:32. > :11:37.pressure on you in the way that they play the game. We need to have
:11:37. > :11:42.some patients. Hopefully we can create some opportunities that may
:11:42. > :11:49.trouble them as well. With all the financial troubles, it seems to
:11:49. > :11:54.have gelled the team together? way, it has been helpful. They have
:11:54. > :12:00.been even more motivated. When you are fighting for your wage, there
:12:00. > :12:03.is no better motivator. Very clear that Bradford are playing not just
:12:03. > :12:13.great place in the quarter-finals, they are playing for their lives,
:12:13. > :12:26.
:12:26. > :12:30.for their careers, for the future of their club.
:12:31. > :12:38.Lee Briers is a key player. Wonderful player, his kicking will
:12:38. > :12:43.be key. It feels like the heavens may be about to open. It has got
:12:43. > :12:47.very chilly, it could start raining very soon. We are hoping for an
:12:47. > :12:57.exciting game. Let's go to our commentary team, a man who played
:12:57. > :12:57.
:12:57. > :13:07.for bows of -- both of these teams, for bows of -- both of these teams,
:13:07. > :13:08.
:13:08. > :13:15.Justin Harris, alongside Dave Woods. It is not just on the field glory
:13:15. > :13:25.for Bradford, they are chasing a financial drain. Gareth O'Brien
:13:25. > :13:34.
:13:34. > :13:38.continues at scrum-half. -- financial dream. Luke Gale is at
:13:38. > :13:48.scrum-half for Bradford. He has played only three games this season,
:13:48. > :13:48.
:13:48. > :13:57.injuries have sidelined him. In the pack, the teenager John Bateman,
:13:57. > :14:04.one of the most highly rated players in the game. He's only 18.
:14:04. > :14:14.The benches can make a difference. A mix of playmakers and powerhouses
:14:14. > :14:17.
:14:17. > :14:27.on the bench. Our referee, his job is to keep a lid on things. How do
:14:27. > :14:31.
:14:31. > :14:38.we see this going today? There is a will potential for potency. -- real
:14:38. > :14:45.potential. It is going to be a real battle of the packs. It is
:14:45. > :14:55.drastically important for the Bulls to get a good start. The start of
:14:55. > :15:05.this game, the first 15 minutes is massive for Bradford. Here comes a
:15:05. > :15:08.
:15:08. > :15:12.man who has been the foundations for Warrington, Ben Westwood. No
:15:12. > :15:20.mistakes, making their opponents start deep in their own half. A
:15:20. > :15:26.needless penalty given a way. What an error this is. It gives Bradford
:15:26. > :15:36.a chance to make up some field position. They can start to put
:15:36. > :15:40.
:15:40. > :15:50.they -- as a few things together. He has created a lot of tries with
:15:50. > :15:59.
:15:59. > :16:09.John Bateman? He has been really impressive, making a real name for
:16:09. > :16:38.
:16:38. > :16:43.There is the kick. It will be another six for Bradford. We have
:16:43. > :16:53.seen the first signs of how important Luke Gale is to this side.
:16:53. > :16:53.
:16:53. > :17:52.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds
:17:52. > :17:58.That was a great kick from the last opportunities. Lulia pushed the
:17:58. > :18:05.pass, and now Warrington have the chance to release the pressure.
:18:05. > :18:15.What a storming opener that was. From Bradford polls point of view.
:18:15. > :18:15.
:18:15. > :19:15.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds
:19:15. > :19:25.Not for the first time. Warrington are up against it in these opening
:19:25. > :19:41.
:19:41. > :19:49.through the ranks in the last couple of years. Five minutes
:19:49. > :19:56.played, 0-0, but it has been all Bradford, and here is another try
:19:56. > :20:00.for a try. Warrington again will be relieved they haven't conceded.
:20:00. > :20:04.think Bradford will be reasonably happy. They have created some half
:20:04. > :20:08.chances and it is the last pass or lack of execution that is letting
:20:08. > :20:12.them down slightly but they will be really happy with the opportunities
:20:12. > :20:22.they have created, if they can clean up their act, they will be
:20:22. > :20:26.
:20:26. > :20:33.points this season but they have also gone through more handling
:20:33. > :20:40.errors than any other side, 189. Not unrelated. They are a side that
:20:40. > :20:45.like to take risks. They do like to do much to football, whenever they
:20:45. > :20:50.can, which is why they score more than most. That was a Bradford
:20:50. > :20:55.touch. The referee was mindful to give another set of six there but
:20:55. > :21:02.decided there was a knock-on on the floor by the Bradford play it.
:21:02. > :21:12.were you -- they were lucky. White had nearly got the intercept but
:21:12. > :21:16.
:21:16. > :21:26.Bradford Bulls, by his own admission, he is unlikely to remain
:21:26. > :21:45.
:21:45. > :21:49.Diskin why that penalty has been given against his side. Bradford,
:21:49. > :21:56.having provided all the early pressure now find themselves having
:21:56. > :22:06.to defend. And Warrington have their first opportunity to try and
:22:06. > :22:19.
:22:19. > :22:27.reasonably high risk from Warrington. Briers going at it, a
:22:27. > :22:30.lovely pass. Atkins would have been better to catch that ball. He tried
:22:30. > :22:36.the sleight of hand, and it has gone to the side of him and
:22:36. > :22:41.Bradford can now bring the ball away. It has been a decent start by
:22:41. > :22:48.both sides, a decent start to a cup tie, that means an awful lot to
:22:48. > :22:58.both of these teams. They have had a decent history in the Challenge
:22:58. > :22:59.
:22:59. > :23:03.Cup. Warrington's most recent, back to back winners in 2009 and 2010.
:23:03. > :23:13.Their form this season has not been cut -- as consistent as they would
:23:13. > :23:41.
:23:41. > :23:49.of the game! The referee wants another look. That was a great pass
:23:49. > :23:53.from Bateman. He put a delightful chip pen which has confuse them
:23:53. > :24:01.with the balance. We will have a look whether or not this will be
:24:01. > :24:10.awarded. They will be looking for offside in the first instance. What
:24:10. > :24:17.do you reckon? It is tight. I think they are all on their. The next
:24:17. > :24:25.question has to be about the grounding here. Riley misjudging
:24:25. > :24:35.the balance of the ball. Does Atkins's boot prevent that being a
:24:35. > :24:49.
:24:49. > :24:59.try? I am not sure, but it is to get to him. The boot by Atkins,
:24:59. > :25:06.
:25:06. > :25:12.this has surely got to be a no try it comes. The decision it is mare
:25:12. > :25:17.try. Bradford are deny it, Warrington survive. What a scare.
:25:17. > :25:21.My word, they are having their cage rattled. Bradford are showing very
:25:21. > :25:25.good signs. They are creating opportunities and getting to the
:25:25. > :25:29.right area of the field to create these opportunities. They just need
:25:29. > :25:39.to keep the way they are going because Warrington are coming up
:25:39. > :25:39.
:25:39. > :26:20.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds
:26:20. > :26:25.absence of Monahan that he might be McCarthy. Are we have got Pryce at
:26:25. > :26:35.half-back and, but he is not playing their. And Briers is
:26:35. > :26:39.
:26:39. > :26:49.intelligent. That will be a regular able to get the offload a wave. --
:26:49. > :27:00.
:27:00. > :27:10.late. They played in a mudbath last week against Huddersfield and last
:27:10. > :27:10.
:27:10. > :28:36.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds
:28:36. > :28:45.but previous to that they had been this time do have the try. And you
:28:45. > :28:49.have to say it is fully deserved. Definitely. It started with Lulia.
:28:49. > :28:55.But look like Westwood would get him but he came away with the ball.
:28:55. > :29:05.Here we are, Lulia gets himself tied on the ball, squeezes it off
:29:05. > :29:11.him which gives them the possession to set the score up. Lovely play.
:29:11. > :29:14.And Purtell, lovely, screeched away and scores in the corner. A very
:29:14. > :29:21.well constructed try from Bradford. In the end, they go through a
:29:21. > :29:31.couple of nice hands. Purtell Picks it up, and great speed to score.
:29:31. > :29:48.
:29:48. > :29:52.conversion attempt. He impressed in the first three games, then it was
:29:52. > :29:56.injured with two months out, and even though he has gone through a
:29:56. > :30:00.week and a half of tough training, we have to question just how long
:30:00. > :30:05.his match fitness will keep him in the game. But his kicking is
:30:05. > :30:12.certainly good from the start. Bradford lead 6-0. But how much of
:30:12. > :30:18.a gamble is Luke Gale? He is an important of the way they play. You
:30:18. > :30:22.have to take that educated risk. His manager has obviously thought
:30:23. > :30:30.he has looked sharp enough to beat in the team. He has already put a
:30:30. > :30:35.nice few kicks in, and now he has converted. They have a couple of
:30:35. > :30:45.decent midfield players as well. They have Heath L'Estrange.
:30:45. > :30:54.
:30:54. > :31:04.Hopefully we will see them at some middle. Let's hear from the
:31:04. > :31:15.
:31:15. > :31:21.touchline. A great start from the Bulls, what have you been doing
:31:21. > :31:26.well? We have been controlling the ball. We have been working hard in
:31:26. > :31:36.defence. How frustrating to watch? I don't like watching. As long as
:31:36. > :31:41.
:31:41. > :31:47.we started scoring more points I'll be happy. A little push forward.
:31:47. > :31:57.Warrington will look for the offload. The defending is
:31:57. > :32:09.
:32:09. > :32:19.preventing them from doing that. Taken safely. That looked like a
:32:19. > :32:20.
:32:20. > :32:25.fumble. The referee has called against the Bradford Bulls. They
:32:25. > :32:35.were trying to play the ball is a bit too quickly. They just knocked
:32:35. > :32:36.
:32:36. > :32:43.it forward for with the boot -- with the bid. They are really
:32:43. > :32:53.targeting the ball, trying to squeeze the ball. That looked a
:32:53. > :32:54.
:32:54. > :33:02.little pedestrian. Some grumbles from the Warrington crowd. A look
:33:02. > :33:12.around by Gareth A O'Brien. They are putting pressure on the
:33:12. > :33:17.
:33:17. > :33:27.Bradford line. Lee Briers. Jane Monahan does well to get back. --
:33:27. > :33:45.
:33:46. > :33:55.Joel Monaghan. He has missed it. Lucky day him Chris Riley was no
:33:56. > :33:56.
:33:57. > :34:03.way near it. If you -- you feel if they get possession of here they
:34:03. > :34:13.will score. They are looking dangerous when they get to this end
:34:13. > :34:31.
:34:31. > :34:41.of the field. REFEREE: Nice and tight. And out.
:34:41. > :34:44.
:34:44. > :34:54.The referee said play on, I think they were going for the penalty.
:34:54. > :35:03.
:35:03. > :35:13.The referee was having none of it. Luke Gale with the kick. Chris
:35:13. > :35:16.
:35:16. > :35:24.Riley is still going. A piece and effort. Brett Hodgson is looking to
:35:24. > :35:34.claim the ball. Let's hear from the touchline. It has been an amazing
:35:34. > :35:34.
:35:34. > :35:38.opening 90 minutes. Both teams have been going foray to 100%. This is
:35:38. > :35:42.what Bradford do well, they play up the middle. Warrington are trying
:35:42. > :35:52.to score every time they get the ball. That is why they are coming
:35:52. > :36:11.
:36:11. > :36:21.up with a few errors. Heres John Bateman. -- he is John Bateman.
:36:21. > :36:26.
:36:26. > :36:36.Manese Manuokafoa were as -- has come on. They very nearly threw it
:36:36. > :36:44.
:36:45. > :36:54.away. A little kick. Both sides will be glad to see it go out to
:36:54. > :37:04.play, a little breather. That was based -- that was a smart move from
:37:04. > :37:11.
:37:11. > :37:16.the best outcome that Bradford could get. Bradford are dominating
:37:16. > :37:26.Warrington at the moment. They are struggling to get out of their own
:37:26. > :37:27.
:37:27. > :37:35.20. 60% of the possession for Bradford. Just over 50% of the
:37:35. > :37:42.territory. You can feel some up frustration from Warrington, they

:38:30. > :38:35.
:38:36. > :38:45.decent kick. In the end they had to see it out of play. A smart little
:38:46. > :38:52.
:38:52. > :39:02.dink from Lee Briers. Warrington are starting to play with
:39:02. > :39:12.intensity.. It was actually Brett Hodgson would be kick -- with the
:39:12. > :39:33.
:39:33. > :39:41.kick. Warrington get another chance had the pace to getting in the
:39:41. > :39:46.corner. A superbly executed try for the Warrington Wolves. That puts

:39:56. > :40:01.
:40:01. > :40:11.were trying to play with. A great return pass. He will always finish
:40:11. > :40:11.

:40:18. > :40:28.Right in the corner. Great try from Warrington Wolves. That is a value
:40:28. > :40:40.
:40:40. > :40:50.of a winner -- winger holding his touchline. He is so good at that.
:40:50. > :40:56.
:40:56. > :41:03.Brett Hodgson to take the conversion attempt. He used to play
:41:03. > :41:13.for the Huddersfield Giants, if you remember a couple of years ago in
:41:13. > :41:23.the Challenge Cup. He struck it well enough. It was just wide
:41:23. > :41:27.
:41:27. > :41:37.though. This cup-tie is perfectly poised. Mick Potter has made a
:41:37. > :41:40.
:41:40. > :41:50.tactical change. He has brought people are strange on -- he first
:41:50. > :41:53.
:41:53. > :42:03.tranche. The initial drive back will be by Chris Hill. Warrington
:42:03. > :42:32.
:42:32. > :42:42.gaining some terrific ground. Joel Monaghan. Westwood. A good offloads.
:42:42. > :42:44.
:42:44. > :42:53.Lee Briers plays into the gap. The bouncy goes Warrington's Way, a
:42:54. > :42:59.tackle off the ball. -- the penalty. You feel that they are going to try
:42:59. > :43:09.and go for the Celts. Bradford have to wait in their and wait for their
:43:09. > :43:12.
:43:12. > :43:22.opportunity to get the ball back -- hold on there. He is a man mountain.
:43:22. > :43:26.
:43:26. > :43:36.He's just about dealt with. West was passes the ball. Did you have
:43:36. > :43:46.
:43:46. > :43:56.control -- West would passes the ball. Did he have control? He's
:43:56. > :43:59.
:43:59. > :44:08.dropped that! Great play by Jamie Langley. This might be the telling
:44:08. > :44:18.angle. It is definitely off the boot it is actually going backwards.

:45:09. > :45:14.do that. You are jumping around like a jack-in-the-box? It is the
:45:14. > :45:24.Challenge Cup. We know how important this competition is. We
:45:24. > :45:45.
:45:45. > :45:53.They do. He is so good in the ruck here. Since his emergence, their
:45:53. > :46:03.play has changed so much. That was a short pass, and he came firing on
:46:03. > :46:29.
:46:29. > :46:34.That was a great kick as well from Luke Gale. Lulia thought he was
:46:34. > :46:44.going to get to that ball but he got blocked off by Briers, who
:46:44. > :47:01.
:47:01. > :47:05.outsmarted him. And a lovely catch Since he has come on, do have felt
:47:05. > :47:09.the intensity because he has attracted so many defenders to him.
:47:09. > :47:19.He has had about four offloads already and they seem to be playing
:47:19. > :47:44.
:47:44. > :47:48.seen it once before already and we will see it more than once again
:47:48. > :47:52.before the end of the afternoon but Bradford are looking just a little
:47:52. > :47:59.bit fatigued. There is 10 minutes to go to half-time, and it is
:47:59. > :48:07.important that they do not lose their shape. Burgess... He made the
:48:07. > :48:17.have bring. In the scramble, he has lost possession. -- he made a half-
:48:17. > :48:48.
:48:48. > :48:58.break. As far as the errors are it is Bridge. He has lost it. Does
:48:58. > :49:12.
:49:12. > :49:22.it go backwards? Yes, the referee penalties. There wasn't much fuel
:49:22. > :49:30.left anywhere. Bradford really targeted the ball. They feel as
:49:30. > :49:35.though they have to stop the off- road. But if the tackle rips out,
:49:35. > :49:45.you get the penalty. They need to stay tight on the ball. They went
:49:45. > :49:51.
:49:51. > :50:01.too far. This is the West would a real sucker punch before the
:50:01. > :50:26.
:50:26. > :50:32.I think they did very well, Bradford, to hold out the set of
:50:32. > :50:38.six. You see Westwood... He looks as though he is going through a
:50:38. > :50:43.huge gap. This is a third set of six. You cannot see Bradford
:50:43. > :50:53.holding out with nine minutes to go. You can see how possession has
:50:53. > :51:28.
:51:28. > :51:37.their way over the line. But it is a metal sheet but refuses to give.
:51:37. > :51:41.What a relief for Bradford. Great events from them. We thought they
:51:41. > :51:51.couldn't hold out. You feel Warrington have had that shift from
:51:51. > :51:51.
:51:51. > :51:57.right to left, they have numbers out there. Bradford hung on. Pryce
:51:57. > :52:01.got it right on that occasion. are you making about this? This is
:52:01. > :52:05.the perfect game for Bradford. This is as ugly as possible putting a
:52:05. > :52:09.lot of pressure on Warrington who I used to playing and offload game, a
:52:09. > :52:19.free-flowing game, and they have been frustrated, which is dangerous

:52:20. > :53:02.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds
:53:02. > :53:10.swarmed again. Good work from Bradford. So Mick Higham stands and
:53:10. > :53:16.weights. A kick... It booms of their. An attack back on the 20.
:53:16. > :53:21.Bradford clinging on to their shirt tails. It feels this pressure and
:53:21. > :53:25.momentum with a great kick from Briers, they just couldn't bring it
:53:25. > :53:35.in, but the intensity Warrington are playing on, Bradford cannot
:53:35. > :53:36.
:53:36. > :54:23.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds
:54:23. > :54:30.does a favour for Bradford because they can get some oxygen back him a
:54:30. > :54:37.tank. He got himself caught in an awkward position. They squeezed him
:54:37. > :54:41.down on the back of the neck. Bateman needs to be careful. It is
:54:41. > :54:47.a dangerous thing to do if you are going to squashed down on the back
:54:47. > :54:52.of somebody's neck. There is a lot of talk about wrestling techniques.
:54:52. > :54:58.Does that fall into this category? I am not sure it falls into the
:54:58. > :55:02.wrestling technique. But Brett Hodgson has got himself in an
:55:02. > :55:06.awkward position and Bateman has got to have a little bit more
:55:06. > :55:10.respect for him and not go down on his neck. Perhaps he did not mean
:55:10. > :55:20.to do it, but it is not a nice thing to get us of court in that
:55:20. > :55:30.
:55:30. > :55:34.position. -- thing to get yourself penalty. But he has put it on
:55:34. > :55:37.report so the disciplinary committee will have to have a look
:55:37. > :55:47.at that in the coming week to decide whether any further action
:55:47. > :55:59.
:55:59. > :56:05.needs to be taken against those two, but look how much ground Warrington
:56:05. > :56:15.have made. He is Waterhouse, gets his arm free. A lovely offload,
:56:15. > :56:22.
:56:22. > :56:32.picked up by Harrison. He reaches Eventually, they will war in --
:56:32. > :56:39.
:56:39. > :56:42.referee said play! And how did he get through that defending? The
:56:42. > :56:46.referee will get back to the original incident with the ball
:56:46. > :56:51.being knocked down to see if that was OK, but the Bradford defence,
:56:51. > :56:57.take a look at yourself. They seemed to stop and wait for the
:56:57. > :57:02.penalty to come. And the referee didn't blow his whistle, and
:57:02. > :57:11.Warrington skipped across the field. Here we are, badly goes up the
:57:11. > :57:18.line... I do not think that is a knock-on. It is heading on backward
:57:18. > :57:26.momentum. The only question is whether it hit Hodgson's hand, and
:57:26. > :57:36.if it doesn't, it is a knock-on. think that is a cave. Hodgson
:57:36. > :57:43.picked it up, he played on and Bradford did not. Have a look. Does
:57:43. > :57:48.it hit his arm here? Where does the ball go? I am not sure it does. It
:57:48. > :57:55.has gone back with any way. I think it is OK. I would be surprised if
:57:55. > :58:03.they do not go to ground here. They sat back and saw Hodgson skip
:58:03. > :58:13.across the field. It is a defensive effort that underlines the earlier
:58:13. > :58:23.
:58:23. > :58:33.efforts. Maybe all the fuel has this house. Hodgson gets the chance
:58:33. > :58:34.
:58:34. > :58:40.to add two. Here we are. It was not a knock-on. And they will be
:58:40. > :58:44.disappointed if with that to allow all that to happen but previous to
:58:44. > :58:50.that, Warrington are throwing a lot at Bradford and Bradford are very
:58:50. > :59:00.tired. As you said, that was just fatigue setting in from a lot that
:59:00. > :59:13.
:59:13. > :59:19.that position. A little bit of relief from the walls who were
:59:19. > :59:29.howling earlier on. It was hairy at times. -- a little bit of relief
:59:29. > :59:31.
:59:31. > :59:35.Bradford, because Warrington are very good at scoring back to back
:59:35. > :59:39.tries. We are very close to half- time. They are very good at picking
:59:39. > :59:49.up the intensity after they had scored a try to finish teams off
:59:49. > :59:50.
:59:50. > :00:00.quickly. A couple of minutes for Bradford. Can they hang on or can
:00:00. > :00:00.
:00:00. > :00:56.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds
:00:56. > :01:01.Warrington suddenly produce another this with career. I think they need
:01:01. > :01:11.to get a breather at half-time, and come up with the energy that they
:01:11. > :01:15.
:01:15. > :01:25.had early start of the first half. -- come out. Luke Gale has no
:01:25. > :01:38.
:01:38. > :01:45.overlap. Bradford went for broke, and found themselves broken. A gift
:01:45. > :01:55.that gives Warrington space between them and their opponents. That is
:01:55. > :02:05.an absolute heartbreaker. They were trying to get in front before half-
:02:05. > :02:10.
:02:10. > :02:20.time. Hargreaves tries to make the past, he slips and Reilly picks it
:02:20. > :02:23.
:02:23. > :02:33.up, probably the quickest player on the field. -- Chris Riley. The that
:02:33. > :02:36.
:02:36. > :02:41.was an absolute gift. -- that was an absolute gift. It means that a
:02:41. > :02:51.10-6 scoreline, that would have suited Bradford, is in all
:02:51. > :02:55.
:02:55. > :03:03.likelihood going to be 16-6. That makes Warrington heavy favourites.
:03:03. > :03:11.Safely between the sticks. For three quarters of that half

:03:55. > :03:58.
:03:58. > :04:08.Warrington had plenty of chances. This interception from Chris Riley
:04:08. > :04:16.saw him running to score. 16-6. There is a lot to analyse. Let's go
:04:16. > :04:26.to the touchline. So tight for her 38 minutes, will they rue those
:04:26. > :04:35.
:04:35. > :04:39.late tries. I think they really well. -- I think they we'll do.
:04:39. > :04:47.They were playing the game perfectly, they were frustrating
:04:47. > :04:50.Warrington. They were scrambling really hard. Da last try, they put
:04:50. > :05:00.them on the back foot. They will going to half-time really kicking
:05:00. > :05:01.
:05:01. > :05:07.themselves. They have to now make up a gap? They all have to play
:05:07. > :05:17.their normal game after half-time. They frustrate teams, that is what
:05:17. > :05:18.
:05:18. > :05:23.they do well. They have to put pressure on Warrington. As we know,
:05:23. > :05:30.Warrington are a great team, they can score from anywhere.
:05:30. > :05:40.Bradford must be in shock. It is extraordinary that they have gone
:05:40. > :05:40.
:05:40. > :05:48.in a losing. They led this match until the 36th minute. 61%
:05:48. > :05:56.possession for Warrington, and territory, they had the advantage.
:05:56. > :06:05.He will be trying to lift them. It is a difficult one to get over.
:06:05. > :06:11.They have frustrated Warrington, but Warrington are worth their lead.
:06:11. > :06:21.Lee Briers on the exercise bike at half-time! He is trying to keep his
:06:21. > :06:28.
:06:28. > :06:34.muscles going. He will want to start the second period flying.
:06:34. > :06:42.Sometimes we get frustrated, but towards the back end you could see
:06:42. > :06:51.Bradford hanging on by their fingernails. I spoke to one fan who
:06:51. > :06:57.says it can be frustrating watching them. Sometimes they need to get a
:06:57. > :07:04.platform, go forward, sometimes they go a little bit too early. All
:07:04. > :07:11.of the stats favour Warrington, but the defence from the Bradford Bulls
:07:11. > :07:16.was magnificent. You have to praise that Bradford defence. Yet, the
:07:16. > :07:26.last two minutes, one missed tackle, and they Mr Bourke, and they are 12
:07:26. > :07:30.
:07:30. > :07:40.points behind a. -- and the one that Mr Ball. Let's have a look at
:07:40. > :07:47.a few of those chances. Bradford had all of the early pressure.
:07:47. > :07:55.was one of the few opportunities, a great kick. I think it is the right
:07:55. > :08:00.call, he doesn't get the ball down. They need to execute those plays as
:08:00. > :08:04.many times as they possibly can. We have seen Warrington not quite
:08:04. > :08:14.execute with the skill that they have, but they are still free
:08:14. > :08:17.
:08:17. > :08:27.scores up when they come in. -- three. You have to finish those
:08:27. > :08:37.chances. Once the ball this Larches, the defence are unorganised. --
:08:37. > :08:40.
:08:41. > :08:48.this lodges. He didn't score the easy one, he took out one. You said
:08:48. > :08:58.to me that Warrington looked flat? I think they were flat at the start,
:08:58. > :09:01.
:09:01. > :09:06.I'm not sure why. They needed a kick up the backside. They created
:09:06. > :09:16.so many opportunities. They weren't clinical enough. Some great play,
:09:16. > :09:17.
:09:17. > :09:27.they fixed a the centre, the two attackers pulled the winger in.
:09:27. > :09:35.
:09:35. > :09:45.That is the brilliance of Lee Briers, and Monaghan. I felt a they
:09:45. > :09:48.
:09:48. > :09:54.have either run Briers on a few occasions -- I feel that they have
:09:54. > :10:01.over run Briers a few times. Look at the left-hand side of the
:10:01. > :10:10.picture. That is Brett Hodgson, he has an ice pack on his shoulder, he
:10:10. > :10:20.took a real hard tackle. Before we see his heroics, let's have a look
:10:20. > :10:22.
:10:22. > :10:28.at some of their chances. A great overlap. Hodgson, there are two of
:10:28. > :10:38.them. You have to make easier for the ball-carrier. You have to hit
:10:38. > :10:47.
:10:47. > :10:53.the ground there. A Westwood goes in,. -- Westwood goes in for the
:10:53. > :11:02.try. They are making a good go of stopping the try-scoring
:11:02. > :11:07.opportunities. They know that they are outnumbered. They are giving
:11:07. > :11:12.themselves an extra metre. That is what they have to do. If you are a
:11:12. > :11:22.centre like fullback, you have to give yourself an extra yard, so
:11:22. > :11:32.
:11:32. > :11:36.when they come, you give and take, and pass. Briers looked very sharp.
:11:36. > :11:46.When the ball hits the ground, that is one of the most dangerous parts
:11:46. > :11:57.
:11:57. > :12:07.a rugby. -- dangerous parts of the process. You have to play to the
:12:07. > :12:17.whistle. One missed tackle has put them under pressure. There is Chris
:12:17. > :12:24.
:12:24. > :12:27.Riley, he was responsible for the interception and the try. When
:12:27. > :12:34.you're trying to be someone on points, you have to stay in the
:12:34. > :12:43.game, you have to win a few rounds. You don't give the team with speed
:12:43. > :12:46.a free opportunity. That was a free one. Tony Smith did say that
:12:46. > :12:53.Bradford are a side with no individual brilliance, they work to
:12:53. > :13:00.get a field position. Warrington will be really happy, they haven't
:13:00. > :13:10.had any field position. They have to be patient, hold the ball, and
:13:10. > :13:10.
:13:10. > :13:14.hold the field position. Very much an advantage to Warrington.

:18:07. > :18:12.still have a few tackles in the bag. But it has been given away. A great
:18:12. > :18:19.set. Grit from Gale. Right from the line to get them to the area where
:18:19. > :18:25.they need to be. And we saw again Purtell From the outside of Atkins.
:18:25. > :18:30.It was easy for the referee to pick off. They got right into the right
:18:30. > :18:40.area. Of a put some pressure on the Warrington Wolves. And now they
:18:40. > :18:52.
:18:52. > :18:57.came up with that error to give another penalty for Warrington.
:18:57. > :19:04.Great technique from Atkins. He pulled himself up. And Higham has
:19:04. > :19:14.been around a long time. That was an easy penalty. This is Waterhouse,
:19:14. > :19:38.
:19:38. > :19:45.with Westwood during the run-in. There is nobody home. And Monaghan
:19:45. > :19:53.is there again! Three tries in six - run -- in succession. This has
:19:53. > :19:58.Warrington in complete control. have to be very careful. They hit
:19:58. > :20:04.another try before the hooter and Hodgson got himself into the right
:20:04. > :20:08.area. He brought the winger up. A lovely drink behind, and Monaghan
:20:08. > :20:15.knew what was going on. Lovely placement between two defenders.
:20:15. > :20:22.Could not have set up any better. Monaghan, right place, right time.
:20:22. > :20:28.Well, how will this heard Bradford? Well, it is difficult. You don't
:20:28. > :20:33.want to give them two tries just before and after half-time. All of
:20:33. > :20:36.a sudden, you've got a mountain to climb. They have looked pretty
:20:36. > :20:44.lively at the start of the second half. They have shown they can
:20:44. > :20:54.break the line, so there are points for them, but they have to be more
:20:54. > :21:03.
:21:03. > :21:07.critical with Purtell, they have than some he has had so far. I
:21:07. > :21:17.don't think it has the weight. It hasn't. It remains a scoreline that
:21:17. > :21:18.
:21:18. > :21:23.is not out of sight, 20 -6. Bradford will have to score three
:21:24. > :21:29.tries to get their noses back ahead. It was simple stuff for Monaghan in
:21:29. > :21:34.the end, wasn't it? It was simple, but fantastic execution from
:21:34. > :21:42.Hodgson. People underestimate the level of skill required kicking him
:21:43. > :21:52.for pace. -- kicking on for praise. You have to kick it with pinpoint
:21:53. > :22:11.
:22:11. > :22:15.you cannot write a team of whatever the circumstances because in this
:22:15. > :22:18.game they momentum switch is only one could break away. When you get
:22:18. > :22:23.that switching momentum, anything could happen so if the Bradford
:22:23. > :22:33.Bulls can turn something quickly into a try, then we have a match on
:22:33. > :22:41.
:22:41. > :22:51.our hands again, their real good forcing the issue? It was a poor
:22:51. > :22:54.pass from Gale. It is difficult to take right on the line. The
:22:54. > :22:58.Warrington defence, very comfortable in the face of the
:22:58. > :23:08.Bradford players. Again, that is the second time they have got the
:23:08. > :23:27.
:23:27. > :23:33.20. The Bulls regrouping again. Francis Cummings, it wasn't that
:23:33. > :23:43.long ago that he was running the under 70 -- as a 17-year-old for
:23:43. > :23:50.
:23:50. > :23:57.Warrington. Instead of cutting the ball out of your own half, you have
:23:57. > :24:00.to Defence 30 yards. Perhaps he has got an argument there, but he has
:24:00. > :24:06.got to grip that ball. You cannot give away possession like that with
:24:06. > :24:16.the light of Briers and Atkins because they will hurt you. This is
:24:16. > :24:22.
:24:22. > :24:26.the third time they have dropped invitation for him. Ryan Atkins,
:24:26. > :24:35.not exactly helped over the line, but his job made easier by that
:24:35. > :24:44.slip in the line. Whitehead and Gale grasping at air and Warrington
:24:44. > :24:49.are getting closer to that quarter- final place. Here it is again. He
:24:49. > :24:54.has got to have more security on that ball but Atkins is so strong.
:24:54. > :24:59.You don't realise how strong he is when he straightens up like that.
:24:59. > :25:05.And great pace as well. If you don't get for contact on him, he is
:25:05. > :25:15.very difficult to stop. -- if you do not get full contact on him. A
:25:15. > :25:27.
:25:27. > :25:36.fullback over the years. Another two points added to Warrington's
:25:36. > :25:40.cause. 26-6. Or what was a fantastic cup tie is in danger of
:25:40. > :25:47.becoming one-sided and Bradford need a quick response and they need
:25:47. > :25:52.to tighten up their defending, to. The problem for the Bulls is, and I
:25:52. > :25:57.have said about this before the game, they have made 10 errors in
:25:57. > :26:02.this game, and when you are making that amount of errors, and giving
:26:02. > :26:07.territory, it makes it difficult to stay with your opponents. Robbie
:26:07. > :26:11.Hunter-Paul. It is going to be interesting to see what kind of
:26:11. > :26:17.energy levels Bradford are having. Maybe the last 20 minutes of the
:26:17. > :26:21.first half, maybe that took too much energy in defending. A lot of
:26:21. > :26:27.players are reaching out to try to grab rather than getting their
:26:27. > :26:30.shoulders and heads into the tackle. We will see. A couple of weeks ago,
:26:30. > :26:40.you were predicting the witness fight back, and you were the only
:26:40. > :26:50.
:26:50. > :26:55.one! They have got to make up 20 want to be. Warrington just turning
:26:55. > :27:00.the screw. They are showing their intent. When they are in the right
:27:00. > :27:03.area of the field, they can be from buoyant. When they are not, they
:27:03. > :27:09.can show purpose. They have had some kicks that have gone into the
:27:09. > :27:13.corner. They are showing the intent they have got and they will make
:27:13. > :27:19.this game very difficult for Bradford to get back into.
:27:19. > :27:27.current Bradford chairman, suggesting he was not long in the
:27:28. > :27:32.job. The former chairman, Chris Casey, would be voted out as well
:27:32. > :27:37.at an extraordinary general meeting in the next couple of meetings or
:27:37. > :27:47.so and the future of this club... Still an awful lot of things to
:27:47. > :27:58.
:27:58. > :28:04.terrific in the last few weeks, raising half a million pounds. But
:28:04. > :28:12.they will suspect their side will be on the end of the beating. What
:28:12. > :28:18.a catch! Right on the touchline. is showing experience. He is not
:28:18. > :28:23.the quickest fullback. He is one of the smartest. He read that kick
:28:24. > :28:32.with perfection. When your fullback takes that on, all the sudden,
:28:32. > :28:42.catching it, all of a sudden, you on the 30 metre line. It lifts your
:28:42. > :28:55.
:28:55. > :29:04.has. It disappears. A grammar Sunday grain from Ryan Atkins. He
:29:04. > :29:14.knows it was a chance. -- a grimness and a grin. He has not got
:29:14. > :29:46.
:29:46. > :29:53.the delicate touch that Hodgson has will not. A sparkling,
:29:53. > :29:57.scintillating try for the Bradford Bulls. Is at the start, or is that
:29:57. > :30:04.compensation? That is the score that will live long in the memory.
:30:04. > :30:09.A fantastic player. Or to fantastic try! It must have gone through
:30:09. > :30:19.seven or pairs of hands. It started with Whitehead who got the offload
:30:19. > :30:21.
:30:21. > :30:28.to Ainscough. Quick hands, Purtell. And then they cut out a Briers. And
:30:28. > :30:35.then a score in the corner. Great Raffarin. He allowed the advantage.
:30:36. > :30:39.-- great refereeing. A fantastic finish. Game on for stop we have
:30:39. > :30:49.been singing the praises of John Bateman, because he has been
:30:49. > :30:49.
:30:49. > :30:54.terrific, but Elliot Whitehead, he is another. The kick has been
:30:54. > :31:00.missed. They only have the four points. But Elliot Whitehead, this
:31:00. > :31:06.was the break and the offload. you first come in, you do get that
:31:07. > :31:11.impact initially. When you have had that initial impact, then to back
:31:12. > :31:21.it up in the second or third season is the difficulty, and it is the
:31:22. > :31:29.
:31:29. > :31:39.sign of a good player, and he is after the court that. -- stepped
:31:39. > :31:49.
:31:49. > :31:53.out of play after the whistle. The penalty has put them 20 yards away.
:31:53. > :32:01.Momentum is a cliche in the modern game, it doesn't turn much to turn
:32:02. > :32:11.up things around. Taken forward by Hargreaves. The cup-tie is back on
:32:12. > :32:27.
:32:27. > :32:37.again. this is Lulia, he switches the back. They are 10 away, still a
:32:37. > :32:47.couple of tackles to go. That might have been a try, as it is
:32:47. > :32:47.
:32:47. > :32:51.Warrington survive. It was a really good offloads. -- offload. If he
:32:51. > :33:00.could have just taken that, all of a sudden the momentum would have
:33:00. > :33:04.been firmly with the Bradford Bulls. As it is, he just couldn't hold it.
:33:04. > :33:14.There will still be some beating hearts are amongst these Warrington
:33:14. > :33:22.players, they know there is still a job to be done. Bradford have hope
:33:22. > :33:28.in their hearts. Let's go to the touchline. You are looking a bit
:33:28. > :33:35.twitchy now? We knew Bradford were always going to put up a massive
:33:35. > :33:44.fight. As soon as you start giving away penalties, you invite teams to
:33:44. > :33:54.attack you. As soon as we get down Bradford's end, we are scoring too
:33:54. > :33:54.
:33:54. > :34:04.many points. Is he going to get less twitchy now? Warrington are
:34:04. > :34:08.
:34:08. > :34:17.looking for something. Here comes Westwood. He charged it down. A
:34:17. > :34:27.penalty for the Bradford Bulls. think he could hear him coming. He
:34:27. > :34:31.
:34:31. > :34:41.turned away from it. -- I think he heard him coming. 20 minutes left
:34:41. > :34:47.
:34:47. > :34:57.to play. There are 16 points in it. It still requires a three tries and
:34:57. > :35:09.
:35:09. > :35:16.a goal for Bradford to get ahead. Looking for a penalty, not given.
:35:16. > :35:26.The penalty does Bradford way. Bradford are having a real good day
:35:26. > :35:32.
:35:32. > :35:42.at this. They can feel something coming. -- a real good go at this.
:35:42. > :35:51.
:35:51. > :36:01.A blast for words by Craig Kopczak. -- a blast for words. A quick word
:36:01. > :36:05.
:36:05. > :36:15.on Craig Kopczak. His late third word is his real danger. --
:36:15. > :36:16.
:36:16. > :36:23.footwork. He will go. Has he got it down? There was a real wrestle. The
:36:23. > :36:33.referee says, no. He didn't get it down, the handover goes
:36:33. > :36:37.
:36:37. > :36:47.Warrington's wave. -- way. The best option would have been to try and
:36:47. > :36:49.
:36:49. > :36:59.drained energy. -- drain at their energy. There was a tangle of
:36:59. > :37:06.
:37:06. > :37:16.bodies. The referee got that right. This is Westwood, in the right-hand
:37:16. > :37:22.
:37:22. > :37:32.channel. Elima holding on. They put the kick in higher. He does very
:37:32. > :37:32.
:37:32. > :37:42.well there. He has passed another one. They dragged him down. A great
:37:42. > :37:45.
:37:45. > :37:52.return. Great skill. Riley does not get the contact right. Another
:37:52. > :38:00.penalty, another opportunity to put some more pressure on Warrington.
:38:00. > :38:10.The 9th penalty conceded by Warrington. The referee is looking
:38:10. > :38:12.
:38:13. > :38:22.for Lee Briers. REFEREE: We have had up three penalties in about
:38:23. > :38:25.
:38:25. > :38:35.three minutes. Sorted out. Tidy it up. -- we have had. Warrington
:38:35. > :38:43.
:38:43. > :38:53.won't mind that talking to. This is Danny Addy. This is his first
:38:53. > :39:07.
:39:07. > :39:17.involvement. The referee deciding it was a forward pass. They are
:39:17. > :39:24.
:39:24. > :39:34.trying to test out the Warrington defence. I'm not sure. It was 50-50.
:39:34. > :39:45.
:39:45. > :39:52.Here is wryly. -- hears Chris Riley. Warrington looking to start again.
:39:52. > :40:02.Looking to regain the initiative. If they can get another try it
:40:02. > :40:10.
:40:11. > :40:20.would put them back on the summit of the hill. Here is Briers. They
:40:21. > :40:26.
:40:26. > :40:34.slept. That is brilliant! -- there is a slip. Offside, that is the
:40:34. > :40:44.question that is being asked. He might have snatched an unlikely try.
:40:44. > :40:46.
:40:47. > :40:54.He is the cheekiest of rugby league players. Monaghan has timed his run
:40:54. > :40:59.to perfection. I can't see any reason why this would get short off.
:40:59. > :41:05.We will have a closer look here. The execution from Briers is
:41:05. > :41:15.outstanding. There is a slim possibility that has been Oxford
:41:15. > :41:16.
:41:16. > :41:26.from a Warrington player. -- that has been knocked forward. Did he
:41:26. > :41:28.
:41:28. > :41:38.get a hand to wait for? -- did he get a hand to read? I think it gets
:41:38. > :41:40.
:41:40. > :41:49.knocked on. Possibly in an offside position. Is the offside? -- is he
:41:49. > :41:59.offside? It looks like it's come off the back of Ben Jefferies. You
:41:59. > :42:00.
:42:00. > :42:08.choose your angle, you take your choice. I think from the other
:42:08. > :42:18.angle, he certainly touched it, Monaghan. A Westwood is certainly
:42:18. > :42:26.
:42:26. > :42:36.offside. I don't think he's touched it. I think it is a Lulia's arm. --
:42:36. > :42:38.
:42:38. > :42:48.I think it is Lulia's arm. The referee has made a decision. Is
:42:48. > :42:58.
:42:58. > :43:08.this a try for Lee Briers? No try! He has decided that Joel Monaghan
:43:08. > :43:10.
:43:10. > :43:16.got a hand to that. He has given the handover. Bradford have an
:43:16. > :43:24.opportunity to have another crack at this Warrington side. They could
:43:24. > :43:34.make a real game of this. With 15 minutes left, and a 16 point
:43:34. > :43:36.
:43:36. > :43:39.deficit, it's not why you'd want to be -- where you would want to be.
:43:39. > :43:49.All it takes is a good defensive effort from Warrington to steer
:43:49. > :43:55.
:43:55. > :44:05.them home. Have Bradford got the craft that to do it? -- to do it.
:44:05. > :44:06.
:44:06. > :44:15.Lee Briers has been called again by the referee. REFEREE: That is four
:44:15. > :44:23.consecutive penalties. You are 18 warning -- you are on a team a
:44:23. > :44:31.warning. They will have someone sent to the sin-bin. They will be
:44:31. > :44:41.keen not to give any more penalties away. Lee Briers is telling his
:44:41. > :44:44.
:44:44. > :44:54.team to cut it out. It is another penalty. It is ten minutes in the
:44:54. > :44:58.
:44:58. > :45:07.sin-bin for Chris Hill. A shake of Tony Smith's head. Warrington are
:45:07. > :45:17.down to 12. With a man advantage, I can Bradford make it count? They
:45:17. > :45:26.
:45:26. > :45:36.have to do something quickly to start the ball rolling. They
:45:36. > :45:48.
:45:48. > :45:53.wrestle him down. Well met. A great scramble defence. I think he might
:45:53. > :46:03.have just made it. A great scramble defence. Where is this coming down
:46:03. > :46:15.
:46:15. > :46:24.from? -- coming down? Monaghan. Riley is still going. Bridge had
:46:24. > :46:34.his ankles tapped. He wants to get to his feet quickly. Monaghan
:46:34. > :46:34.
:46:34. > :46:44.pushes them on. They almost off their feet. Extraordinary! -- they
:46:44. > :46:53.
:46:53. > :47:01.Bradford survive. What a passage of play! Bradford, didn't race to
:47:01. > :47:08.scrum this down to stop that clock. We have just seen that pass by
:47:08. > :47:16.Briers, quick hands, just in time to knock him off. A forward pass to
:47:16. > :47:26.McCarthy, just could not take it in. Briers got the ball, a quick tap,
:47:26. > :47:36.
:47:36. > :47:44.and then all of a sudden Warrington that's why. -- his head in. Another
:47:44. > :47:54.penalty. Oh, I am not sure whether it is a penalty. He is not happy
:47:54. > :48:08.
:48:08. > :48:18.with the scrum. Gale, he is putting in a really good shift. He has not
:48:18. > :48:32.
:48:32. > :48:42.been perfect this afternoon, but he It goes Warrington's way. Luke Gale
:48:42. > :48:43.
:48:43. > :48:48.wants an explanation and here it is. He has to keep hold of that. His
:48:48. > :48:57.arm has been trapped, he is within his rights to get it away. I don't
:48:57. > :49:02.think it was a penalty. Can Warrington put this game to bed?
:49:02. > :49:08.Let's just have a look at Warrington can do from here because
:49:08. > :49:18.we have 11 minutes... And that is a panel to! The tide is turning
:49:18. > :49:30.
:49:30. > :49:36.get the decision and the ball back for his team. Lee Briers, he put
:49:36. > :49:42.two fingers up to the stand, should we take the kick? The message was
:49:42. > :49:50.that the years. Let's hear from Robbie Hunter-Paul. Well, this is a
:49:50. > :49:54.case of deja-vu. Into the last 10 minutes of the game. Trailing by 18
:49:54. > :49:59.points. Bradford, if they are going to get back into this game, they
:50:00. > :50:09.will have to get away from their traditional style. They will have
:50:10. > :50:23.
:50:23. > :50:32.might be up for a comeback. Hodgson, he is kicking this, 18 points if he
:50:32. > :50:35.gets this in. It is just about possible. It would take the game
:50:35. > :50:41.for a golden. Extra time but in reality we are watching Warrington
:50:41. > :50:45.edging closer to a place in the last eight. Even though the kick is
:50:45. > :50:49.missed, valuable seconds have been run down. And the drop back from
:50:49. > :50:56.the 20 should be that Warrington get possession back again. They
:50:56. > :51:01.will not be too concerned about that. They have a full set of six
:51:01. > :51:07.now. They have gone for the short kick. Neither one nor the other,
:51:07. > :51:17.neither bonked nor short. It was no man's land. -- neither long it nor
:51:17. > :51:38.
:51:38. > :51:48.Grix... Von Waterhouse, the He will not mind that tackle, he
:51:48. > :52:09.
:52:09. > :52:15.that Bradford is staying in. don't think they have given this
:52:15. > :52:22.game up, Bradford. But they have given away just another penalty.
:52:22. > :52:32.The quarter-final draw will be on Radio 5 Live on Tuesday 1st May.
:52:32. > :52:47.
:52:47. > :52:53.bit of hope. Write down the middle it is taken again. The cup-tie from
:52:53. > :53:02.the Salford City Stadium, that should be a cracker. Commentary
:53:02. > :53:12.start that the 3 o'clock. -- starts at 3 o'clock. Bradford know they
:53:12. > :53:24.
:53:24. > :53:30.are clinging on to a lost cause. here. That will take the wind out
:53:30. > :53:35.of Bradford's sales. Bradford are getting very frustrated, they have
:53:36. > :53:44.lost their shape. I feel that Warrington can put something

:56:13. > :56:19.sin-bin. Purtell Collects and puts it into the middle for Jeffries.
:56:19. > :56:29.Six minutes to go. They are just trying to put this game away. A
:56:29. > :56:36.
:56:36. > :56:45.lovely kick. A very good try. a special one there. Olivier Elima,
:56:45. > :56:51.a very good take from a very good kick and a very smart try. We have
:56:51. > :56:58.seen Hodgson doing that early in the game, he does that as well. But
:56:58. > :57:03.Elima backs himself. He'd tried to get his hands on the ball, Hodgson,
:57:03. > :57:12.but Elima gets it over the line. It will certainly make an interest in
:57:12. > :57:18.Finnish. And it is Gale with the kick. It remains tantalisingly
:57:18. > :57:28.interesting. 26 for Warrington, a team for Bradford Bulls. Eight
:57:28. > :57:28.
:57:28. > :57:33.points the difference. Two tries, one goal. -- 18 ft Bradford Bulls.
:57:33. > :57:38.Two tries, I have seen it happen before. Warrington are trying to
:57:38. > :57:48.take the place out of this game and to get to the end. Bradford will
:57:48. > :57:50.
:57:50. > :57:55.throw everything at them. 26-16! Not eight points but 10 points.
:57:55. > :58:05.Warrington know that, surely, what they have done so far should be
:58:05. > :58:06.
:58:06. > :58:11.enough. Here is Jefferies... Oh. Had the referee been in a
:58:11. > :58:19.charitable mood, he would have said that went backwards. But he is not.
:58:19. > :58:26.An apology from Jeffries. Frustrating, isn't it? It was set
:58:26. > :58:36.up for a really exciting finish. And Jeffries will be very
:58:36. > :58:59.
:58:59. > :59:06.disappointed. That was a relatively held off. They might not even need
:59:06. > :59:12.a try. Here comes Hodgson. Not for the first time have we seen him
:59:12. > :59:22.slip. It is damp. Both sides have lost their cuttings at crucial
:59:22. > :59:36.
:59:36. > :59:45.a drop but underneath of the sticks. -- a drop. Monaghan is renowned for
:59:45. > :59:49.winners. They have gone for the short one. Here is Hodgson. Who is
:59:49. > :59:55.your man of the match? I think Harrison has been very good, but
:59:55. > :00:00.the man of the match is Brett Hodgson. The execution of both
:00:00. > :00:06.sides has not been what they would like. There has been a couple of
:00:06. > :00:14.cases in this match, one with the try just before half-time, where he
:00:14. > :00:20.was set up for the try just after the half-time. But I think that
:00:20. > :00:30.Hodgson, he has been brilliant. This and he is wondering why on the
:00:30. > :00:31.
:00:31. > :00:37.day he scored a hat-trick that he didn't get man of the match, Joel
:00:37. > :00:47.Monaghan, it is seconds before it had been given to Brett Hodgson.
:00:47. > :00:49.
:00:49. > :00:56.All the passes of Joel Monaghan, they have taken some execution. But
:00:56. > :01:02.I think that Hodgson, he deserves it. Hodgson, menacingly was a round
:01:02. > :01:12.the back, to give the option to miss him out. A great try and a
:01:12. > :01:18.
:01:18. > :01:24.very good finish. Wigan are through, St Helens are through, there are
:01:24. > :01:34.some others to make the final eight. They will be some great hung donors
:01:34. > :01:45.
:01:45. > :01:53.as well. -- humdingers. And you can match performance with a wonderful
:01:53. > :01:58.conversion. In means they have won by her 32 points-16. A terrific
:01:58. > :02:08.cup-tie. Yes. We have had everything. Bradford trying to get
:02:08. > :02:14.back into the game. The game was only dared when it Ben Jefferies
:02:14. > :02:20.dropped -- the game was only deader when Ben Jefferies dropped that
:02:20. > :02:26.return kick. Warrington will be really happy with the result. They
:02:26. > :02:36.will go into the hat for the next round. The man of the match is
:02:36. > :02:42.
:02:42. > :02:52.Brett Hodgson. He is talking to Tangier. -- Tanya. That was a
:02:52. > :02:58.
:02:58. > :03:05.bruising game! It was tough. We gave them a bit of a look-in. We're
:03:05. > :03:11.not doing ourselves any favours with giving away so any penalties.
:03:11. > :03:16.-- giving away so many penalties. What does it mean getting to the
:03:16. > :03:21.quarter-finals? It is great. This competition is to pad. Your level
:03:21. > :03:29.goes up every time you play in the Challenge Cup. Thank you very much.
:03:29. > :03:37.Let's bring in a jar or Monahan, you just missed out on added that?
:03:37. > :03:43.-- let's bring in Joel Monaghan, you just missed out on man of the
:03:43. > :03:53.match. What did you say at half- time? Just don't give anything away.
:03:53. > :03:58.
:03:58. > :04:03.I don't think anyone listened. They are a big team. They stuck at it.
:04:03. > :04:13.Congratulations on going up the route. Thank you. Happy anniversary
:04:13. > :04:16.to mum and dad back home. A message for his parents back home in
:04:16. > :04:24.Australia. It will be very late for Australia. It will be very late for
:04:24. > :04:31.Warrington are through to the quarter-finals. They had beaten
:04:31. > :04:37.Bradford had 32 points higher than 16 -- they have beaten Bradford 32-
:04:37. > :04:47.16. We will be going on to the red button very shortly. If you want to
:04:47. > :04:59.
:04:59. > :05:06.be part of that, join us on the red button. We will have highlights of
:05:06. > :05:14.the press to the quarter-finals. There are three match of the days
:05:14. > :05:24.tonight and over the weekend. Bradford were capable, but they
:05:24. > :05:24.
:05:24. > :05:28.didn't have the quality to trouble Warrington. You have to feel for
:05:28. > :05:38.Bradford, you wonder how significant that maybe? Credit to
