This statue outside the Halliwell Jones Stadium commemorates their

:00:45.:00:51.

greatest-ever player, who 50 years ago this week scored his 740 if and

:00:51.:00:56.

final try for the club. He was one of the side that did the cup and

:00:56.:01:03.

league double in 1954. Their Challenge Cup record isn't bad,

:01:03.:01:12.

they have won it twice in the last three years. Warrington have the

:01:12.:01:22.
:01:22.:01:32.

early lead. What a fabulous try! Superb! Simon Gregg's of their hat-

:01:32.:01:40.

trick. The celebrations begin. Wembley winners twice now. That's a

:01:40.:01:46.

special achievement for this Warrington side. Given the

:01:46.:01:51.

intensity of the Bradford Bulls's dressing room, they know that the

:01:51.:01:57.

club needs a cup win. They are on the edge of financial meltdown,

:01:57.:02:00.

they will do their best to make sure they make it to Wembley. They

:02:00.:02:08.

have the best a towels I've ever seen, they need a bit of bully.

:02:08.:02:12.

Believe me, they won't throw the towel in me in the attempt to win

:02:12.:02:22.
:02:22.:02:23.

the Cup. They last won it in 2003. With Mick Potter at the helm they

:02:23.:02:28.

will try and upset the odds as he did with Catalan Dragons, taking

:02:28.:02:38.
:02:38.:02:39.

them to the final in 2007. Warrington's run of 12 matches

:02:39.:02:47.

unbeaten in the Challenge Cup came to an end with an unlucky 13 with

:02:47.:02:55.

defeat to Wigan last year. Coach Tony Smith has said his big men up

:02:55.:02:59.

front will have to pack a punch, metaphorically at least. They will

:02:59.:03:09.
:03:09.:03:15.

be missing their captain Adrian Morley. In his absence, the captain

:03:15.:03:22.

is Lee Briers. They do love the Challenge Cup. The Warrington fans

:03:22.:03:27.

will be in full voice, they have the advantage of the home side in

:03:27.:03:32.

this fifth round match. The Bradford coach arrived a few hours

:03:32.:03:42.

ago. Mick Potter planning a big upset. Full credit to the Bradford

:03:42.:03:47.

fans, they are supporting their club with money. We have mentioned

:03:47.:03:53.

their financial strife, they need �1 million to avoid administration,

:03:53.:03:59.

and �500,000 of that has been raised by the fans. A big pat on

:03:59.:04:08.

the back to them. This is the prize that is on offer, the trophy, and

:04:08.:04:16.

the prize-money. This cup has such issues history, it means an awful

:04:16.:04:24.

lot to both of these sides, a place in the quarter-finals is what's on

:04:24.:04:32.

offer. We were expecting it to be very cold, it's not best cold. --

:04:32.:04:42.
:04:42.:04:49.

it's not this cold. I went from Eskimo lurk. -- I went for a Eskimo

:04:49.:04:58.

look at. It is a contrast in styles. Bradford have a massive size. They

:04:58.:05:06.

all want to put pressure on the Warrington goal line. They were

:05:06.:05:10.

trying speeded up, Bradford will try and slow down. To give Bradford

:05:10.:05:17.

any chance? To a I do. They are a big team. There is always a chance.

:05:17.:05:25.

I wonder where the spark will come from for Bradford. Warrington don't

:05:25.:05:30.

lack class anywhere in the field. They will be really thankful that

:05:30.:05:37.

it has stayed dry. Warrington are still out warming up. Bradford are

:05:37.:05:44.

already in their changing room. With Cup matches you can chuck

:05:44.:05:54.
:05:54.:06:08.

former out of the window. -- the formbook. It was a really great

:06:08.:06:18.
:06:18.:06:22.

fright against Wigan. They eventually won a 32-16. St Helens

:06:22.:06:30.

ran in 76 points against Oldham. They are into the quarter-finals.

:06:30.:06:38.

Catalan Dragons and Sheffield play later on today. As well as covering

:06:38.:06:45.

today's match, we will also be on the red button. We will discuss the

:06:45.:06:50.

plight of preferred, and all of the Rugby League issues. We will show

:06:50.:06:55.

you all the tries from that Wigan game. What does Warrington against

:06:55.:07:05.
:07:05.:07:08.

Bradford mean? Heres our guide. -- here is.

:07:08.:07:12.

These encounters have always been feisty affairs. It is the Bulls to

:07:13.:07:22.
:07:23.:07:28.

have had more bite -- who have had more bite. He is in the! -- he is

:07:28.:07:38.
:07:38.:07:45.

in! He follows up to score. I think he got it down. Warrington

:07:45.:07:49.

currently set for third in Super League, the highlight being this

:07:49.:07:58.

dramatic victory at Wigan. Although they lost 2 St Helens a week later

:07:58.:08:03.

they also got a good victory against Castleford. Bradford's

:08:03.:08:06.

problems have been well-documented, on the field it has been a mixed

:08:06.:08:12.

bag. They lost at home to the Giants. Six wins and six defeats

:08:13.:08:19.

mean they are clinging on to that last play-off place.

:08:19.:08:23.

Warrington have been pretty exciting to watch, 66 tries, that

:08:23.:08:33.
:08:33.:08:34.

is the second best. They have the highest error count. They are third

:08:34.:08:44.
:08:44.:08:46.

and 8th. What is the Bradford game plan today? Their former star

:08:46.:08:52.

player can tell us. The best way to make �500,000 is to

:08:52.:08:56.

win the Challenge Cup final. It will not be an easy task for

:08:56.:09:01.

Bradford, they are bigger underdogs. They do have some strengths. They

:09:01.:09:10.

are one of the biggest teams in the Super League. No-one is finer than

:09:10.:09:20.
:09:20.:09:21.

Craig Kopczak. He's great at leading the line. Tom Burgess, and

:09:22.:09:26.

absolutely great player. He is making a name from self-. At no

:09:26.:09:32.

better place than in the Challenge Cup. Also in the backs, many see

:09:32.:09:42.
:09:42.:09:44.

manner cuts are -- Manese Manuokafoa, he is a big talent.

:09:44.:09:50.

These are the players they will be using to set a platform. They will

:09:50.:09:57.

need to step up to the plate. Fantastic stuff from rugby, even

:09:57.:10:01.

when he was almost getting knocked over. Feels like it may start

:10:01.:10:11.
:10:11.:10:11.

raining. They are starting to dance. I am bigger within Bascott. -- I am

:10:11.:10:19.

a big fan of the Bascott. They have Luke Gale coming back, he

:10:19.:10:27.

has been day for them. He was not season by from the Broncos. -- he

:10:27.:10:31.

has been a big player for them. He was bought from the Broncos. They

:10:31.:10:41.
:10:41.:10:43.

have a chance today, Forshaw. -- for sure.

:10:43.:10:46.

Tony, a Challenge Cup, it has certainly suited yourself in

:10:46.:10:51.

previous years? We didn't have as much luck as we would have liked

:10:51.:10:58.

last year. We do enjoy. It is a good change, everybody speaks about

:10:58.:11:03.

the romance of the Cup, and areas. It is all about performing on the

:11:03.:11:12.

day. A you have had to shuffle the pack, taking a bit of a gamble?

:11:12.:11:16.

is a bit of a risk. He has had one- and-a-half weeks a full training.

:11:17.:11:25.

He is ready to go. They are a field positioned either team. They put

:11:25.:11:32.

pressure on you in the way that they play the game. We need to have

:11:32.:11:37.

some patients. Hopefully we can create some opportunities that may

:11:37.:11:42.

trouble them as well. With all the financial troubles, it seems to

:11:42.:11:49.

have gelled the team together? way, it has been helpful. They have

:11:49.:11:54.

been even more motivated. When you are fighting for your wage, there

:11:54.:12:00.

is no better motivator. Very clear that Bradford are playing not just

:12:00.:12:03.

great place in the quarter-finals, they are playing for their lives,

:12:03.:12:13.
:12:13.:12:26.

for their careers, for the future of their club.

:12:26.:12:30.

Lee Briers is a key player. Wonderful player, his kicking will

:12:31.:12:38.

be key. It feels like the heavens may be about to open. It has got

:12:38.:12:43.

very chilly, it could start raining very soon. We are hoping for an

:12:43.:12:47.

exciting game. Let's go to our commentary team, a man who played

:12:47.:12:57.
:12:57.:12:57.

for bows of -- both of these teams, for bows of -- both of these teams,

:12:57.:13:07.
:13:07.:13:08.

Justin Harris, alongside Dave Woods. It is not just on the field glory

:13:08.:13:15.

for Bradford, they are chasing a financial drain. Gareth O'Brien

:13:15.:13:25.
:13:25.:13:34.

continues at scrum-half. -- financial dream. Luke Gale is at

:13:34.:13:38.

scrum-half for Bradford. He has played only three games this season,

:13:38.:13:48.
:13:48.:13:48.

injuries have sidelined him. In the pack, the teenager John Bateman,

:13:48.:13:57.

one of the most highly rated players in the game. He's only 18.

:13:57.:14:04.

The benches can make a difference. A mix of playmakers and powerhouses

:14:04.:14:14.
:14:14.:14:17.

on the bench. Our referee, his job is to keep a lid on things. How do

:14:17.:14:27.
:14:27.:14:31.

we see this going today? There is a will potential for potency. -- real

:14:31.:14:38.

potential. It is going to be a real battle of the packs. It is

:14:38.:14:45.

drastically important for the Bulls to get a good start. The start of

:14:45.:14:55.

this game, the first 15 minutes is massive for Bradford. Here comes a

:14:55.:15:05.
:15:05.:15:08.

man who has been the foundations for Warrington, Ben Westwood. No

:15:08.:15:12.

mistakes, making their opponents start deep in their own half. A

:15:12.:15:20.

needless penalty given a way. What an error this is. It gives Bradford

:15:20.:15:26.

a chance to make up some field position. They can start to put

:15:26.:15:36.
:15:36.:15:40.

they -- as a few things together. He has created a lot of tries with

:15:40.:15:50.
:15:50.:15:59.

John Bateman? He has been really impressive, making a real name for

:15:59.:16:09.
:16:09.:16:38.

There is the kick. It will be another six for Bradford. We have

:16:38.:16:43.

seen the first signs of how important Luke Gale is to this side.

:16:43.:16:53.
:16:53.:16:53.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds

:16:53.:17:52.

That was a great kick from the last opportunities. Lulia pushed the

:17:52.:17:58.

pass, and now Warrington have the chance to release the pressure.

:17:58.:18:05.

What a storming opener that was. From Bradford polls point of view.

:18:05.:18:15.
:18:15.:18:15.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds

:18:15.:19:15.

Not for the first time. Warrington are up against it in these opening

:19:15.:19:25.
:19:25.:19:41.

through the ranks in the last couple of years. Five minutes

:19:41.:19:49.

played, 0-0, but it has been all Bradford, and here is another try

:19:49.:19:56.

for a try. Warrington again will be relieved they haven't conceded.

:19:56.:20:00.

think Bradford will be reasonably happy. They have created some half

:20:00.:20:04.

chances and it is the last pass or lack of execution that is letting

:20:04.:20:08.

them down slightly but they will be really happy with the opportunities

:20:08.:20:12.

they have created, if they can clean up their act, they will be

:20:12.:20:22.
:20:22.:20:26.

points this season but they have also gone through more handling

:20:26.:20:33.

errors than any other side, 189. Not unrelated. They are a side that

:20:33.:20:40.

like to take risks. They do like to do much to football, whenever they

:20:40.:20:45.

can, which is why they score more than most. That was a Bradford

:20:45.:20:50.

touch. The referee was mindful to give another set of six there but

:20:50.:20:55.

decided there was a knock-on on the floor by the Bradford play it.

:20:55.:21:02.

were you -- they were lucky. White had nearly got the intercept but

:21:02.:21:12.
:21:12.:21:16.

Bradford Bulls, by his own admission, he is unlikely to remain

:21:16.:21:26.
:21:26.:21:45.

Diskin why that penalty has been given against his side. Bradford,

:21:45.:21:49.

having provided all the early pressure now find themselves having

:21:49.:21:56.

to defend. And Warrington have their first opportunity to try and

:21:56.:22:06.
:22:06.:22:19.

reasonably high risk from Warrington. Briers going at it, a

:22:19.:22:27.

lovely pass. Atkins would have been better to catch that ball. He tried

:22:27.:22:30.

the sleight of hand, and it has gone to the side of him and

:22:30.:22:36.

Bradford can now bring the ball away. It has been a decent start by

:22:36.:22:41.

both sides, a decent start to a cup tie, that means an awful lot to

:22:41.:22:48.

both of these teams. They have had a decent history in the Challenge

:22:48.:22:58.
:22:58.:22:59.

Cup. Warrington's most recent, back to back winners in 2009 and 2010.

:22:59.:23:03.

Their form this season has not been cut -- as consistent as they would

:23:03.:23:13.
:23:13.:23:41.

of the game! The referee wants another look. That was a great pass

:23:41.:23:49.

from Bateman. He put a delightful chip pen which has confuse them

:23:49.:23:53.

with the balance. We will have a look whether or not this will be

:23:53.:24:01.

awarded. They will be looking for offside in the first instance. What

:24:01.:24:10.

do you reckon? It is tight. I think they are all on their. The next

:24:10.:24:17.

question has to be about the grounding here. Riley misjudging

:24:17.:24:25.

the balance of the ball. Does Atkins's boot prevent that being a

:24:25.:24:35.
:24:35.:24:49.

try? I am not sure, but it is to get to him. The boot by Atkins,

:24:49.:24:59.
:24:59.:25:06.

this has surely got to be a no try it comes. The decision it is mare

:25:06.:25:12.

try. Bradford are deny it, Warrington survive. What a scare.

:25:12.:25:17.

My word, they are having their cage rattled. Bradford are showing very

:25:17.:25:21.

good signs. They are creating opportunities and getting to the

:25:21.:25:25.

right area of the field to create these opportunities. They just need

:25:25.:25:29.

to keep the way they are going because Warrington are coming up

:25:29.:25:39.
:25:39.:25:39.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds

:25:39.:26:20.

absence of Monahan that he might be McCarthy. Are we have got Pryce at

:26:20.:26:25.

half-back and, but he is not playing their. And Briers is

:26:25.:26:35.
:26:35.:26:39.

intelligent. That will be a regular able to get the offload a wave. --

:26:39.:26:49.
:26:49.:27:00.

late. They played in a mudbath last week against Huddersfield and last

:27:00.:27:10.
:27:10.:27:10.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds

:27:10.:28:36.

but previous to that they had been this time do have the try. And you

:28:36.:28:45.

have to say it is fully deserved. Definitely. It started with Lulia.

:28:45.:28:49.

But look like Westwood would get him but he came away with the ball.

:28:49.:28:55.

Here we are, Lulia gets himself tied on the ball, squeezes it off

:28:55.:29:05.

him which gives them the possession to set the score up. Lovely play.

:29:05.:29:11.

And Purtell, lovely, screeched away and scores in the corner. A very

:29:11.:29:14.

well constructed try from Bradford. In the end, they go through a

:29:14.:29:21.

couple of nice hands. Purtell Picks it up, and great speed to score.

:29:21.:29:31.
:29:31.:29:48.

conversion attempt. He impressed in the first three games, then it was

:29:48.:29:52.

injured with two months out, and even though he has gone through a

:29:52.:29:56.

week and a half of tough training, we have to question just how long

:29:56.:30:00.

his match fitness will keep him in the game. But his kicking is

:30:00.:30:05.

certainly good from the start. Bradford lead 6-0. But how much of

:30:05.:30:12.

a gamble is Luke Gale? He is an important of the way they play. You

:30:12.:30:18.

have to take that educated risk. His manager has obviously thought

:30:18.:30:22.

he has looked sharp enough to beat in the team. He has already put a

:30:23.:30:30.

nice few kicks in, and now he has converted. They have a couple of

:30:30.:30:35.

decent midfield players as well. They have Heath L'Estrange.

:30:35.:30:45.
:30:45.:30:54.

Hopefully we will see them at some middle. Let's hear from the

:30:54.:31:04.
:31:04.:31:15.

touchline. A great start from the Bulls, what have you been doing

:31:15.:31:21.

well? We have been controlling the ball. We have been working hard in

:31:21.:31:26.

defence. How frustrating to watch? I don't like watching. As long as

:31:26.:31:36.
:31:36.:31:41.

we started scoring more points I'll be happy. A little push forward.

:31:41.:31:47.

Warrington will look for the offload. The defending is

:31:47.:31:57.
:31:57.:32:09.

preventing them from doing that. Taken safely. That looked like a

:32:09.:32:19.
:32:19.:32:20.

fumble. The referee has called against the Bradford Bulls. They

:32:20.:32:25.

were trying to play the ball is a bit too quickly. They just knocked

:32:25.:32:35.
:32:35.:32:36.

it forward for with the boot -- with the bid. They are really

:32:36.:32:43.

targeting the ball, trying to squeeze the ball. That looked a

:32:43.:32:53.
:32:53.:32:54.

little pedestrian. Some grumbles from the Warrington crowd. A look

:32:54.:33:02.

around by Gareth A O'Brien. They are putting pressure on the

:33:02.:33:12.
:33:12.:33:17.

Bradford line. Lee Briers. Jane Monahan does well to get back. --

:33:17.:33:27.
:33:27.:33:45.

Joel Monaghan. He has missed it. Lucky day him Chris Riley was no

:33:46.:33:55.
:33:56.:33:56.

way near it. If you -- you feel if they get possession of here they

:33:57.:34:03.

will score. They are looking dangerous when they get to this end

:34:03.:34:13.
:34:13.:34:31.

of the field. REFEREE: Nice and tight. And out.

:34:31.:34:41.
:34:41.:34:44.

The referee said play on, I think they were going for the penalty.

:34:44.:34:54.
:34:54.:35:03.

The referee was having none of it. Luke Gale with the kick. Chris

:35:03.:35:13.
:35:13.:35:16.

Riley is still going. A piece and effort. Brett Hodgson is looking to

:35:16.:35:24.

claim the ball. Let's hear from the touchline. It has been an amazing

:35:24.:35:34.
:35:34.:35:34.

opening 90 minutes. Both teams have been going foray to 100%. This is

:35:34.:35:38.

what Bradford do well, they play up the middle. Warrington are trying

:35:38.:35:42.

to score every time they get the ball. That is why they are coming

:35:42.:35:52.
:35:52.:36:11.

up with a few errors. Heres John Bateman. -- he is John Bateman.

:36:11.:36:21.
:36:21.:36:26.

Manese Manuokafoa were as -- has come on. They very nearly threw it

:36:26.:36:36.
:36:36.:36:44.

away. A little kick. Both sides will be glad to see it go out to

:36:45.:36:54.

play, a little breather. That was based -- that was a smart move from

:36:54.:37:04.
:37:04.:37:11.

the best outcome that Bradford could get. Bradford are dominating

:37:11.:37:16.

Warrington at the moment. They are struggling to get out of their own

:37:16.:37:26.
:37:26.:37:27.

20. 60% of the possession for Bradford. Just over 50% of the

:37:27.:37:35.

territory. You can feel some up frustration from Warrington, they

:37:35.:37:42.

are fighting a hard day in the tackle. -- they are fighting harder

:37:42.:37:52.
:37:52.:37:59.

in the tackle. Trent Waterhouse looking to get back on his feet. A

:37:59.:38:09.
:38:09.:38:20.

good tackle. Warrington might have had options on the outside. A

:38:20.:38:30.
:38:30.:38:35.

decent kick. In the end they had to see it out of play. A smart little

:38:36.:38:45.
:38:46.:38:52.

dink from Lee Briers. Warrington are starting to play with

:38:52.:39:02.

intensity.. It was actually Brett Hodgson would be kick -- with the

:39:02.:39:12.
:39:12.:39:33.

kick. Warrington get another chance had the pace to getting in the

:39:33.:39:41.

corner. A superbly executed try for the Warrington Wolves. That puts

:39:41.:39:46.

them right-back in it. You could just feel the intensity that they

:39:46.:39:56.
:39:56.:40:01.

were trying to play with. A great return pass. He will always finish

:40:01.:40:11.
:40:11.:40:11.

off those opportunities. A great offload. Look out this finish!

:40:11.:40:18.

Right in the corner. Great try from Warrington Wolves. That is a value

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

of a winner -- winger holding his touchline. He is so good at that.

:40:40.:40:50.
:40:50.:40:56.

Brett Hodgson to take the conversion attempt. He used to play

:40:56.:41:03.

for the Huddersfield Giants, if you remember a couple of years ago in

:41:03.:41:13.

the Challenge Cup. He struck it well enough. It was just wide

:41:13.:41:23.
:41:23.:41:27.

though. This cup-tie is perfectly poised. Mick Potter has made a

:41:27.:41:37.
:41:37.:41:40.

tactical change. He has brought people are strange on -- he first

:41:40.:41:50.
:41:50.:41:53.

tranche. The initial drive back will be by Chris Hill. Warrington

:41:53.:42:03.
:42:03.:42:32.

gaining some terrific ground. Joel Monaghan. Westwood. A good offloads.

:42:32.:42:42.
:42:42.:42:44.

Lee Briers plays into the gap. The bouncy goes Warrington's Way, a

:42:44.:42:53.

tackle off the ball. -- the penalty. You feel that they are going to try

:42:54.:42:59.

and go for the Celts. Bradford have to wait in their and wait for their

:42:59.:43:09.
:43:09.:43:12.

opportunity to get the ball back -- hold on there. He is a man mountain.

:43:12.:43:22.
:43:22.:43:26.

He's just about dealt with. West was passes the ball. Did you have

:43:26.:43:36.
:43:36.:43:46.

control -- West would passes the ball. Did he have control? He's

:43:46.:43:56.
:43:56.:43:59.

dropped that! Great play by Jamie Langley. This might be the telling

:43:59.:44:08.

angle. It is definitely off the boot it is actually going backwards.

:44:08.:44:18.
:44:18.:44:27.

That is no try. No try. A 20 me to restart. -- a 20 metre restart.

:44:27.:44:37.
:44:37.:44:49.

This is a cracking cup-tie. What news on the touchline? Michael

:44:49.:44:59.
:44:59.:45:02.

Monaghan would -- with me, you are in the pressure? We are. We need to

:45:02.:45:09.

do that. You are jumping around like a jack-in-the-box? It is the

:45:09.:45:14.

Challenge Cup. We know how important this competition is. We

:45:14.:45:24.
:45:24.:45:45.

They do. He is so good in the ruck here. Since his emergence, their

:45:45.:45:53.

play has changed so much. That was a short pass, and he came firing on

:45:53.:46:03.
:46:03.:46:29.

That was a great kick as well from Luke Gale. Lulia thought he was

:46:29.:46:34.

going to get to that ball but he got blocked off by Briers, who

:46:34.:46:44.
:46:44.:47:01.

outsmarted him. And a lovely catch Since he has come on, do have felt

:47:01.:47:05.

the intensity because he has attracted so many defenders to him.

:47:05.:47:09.

He has had about four offloads already and they seem to be playing

:47:09.:47:19.
:47:19.:47:44.

seen it once before already and we will see it more than once again

:47:44.:47:48.

before the end of the afternoon but Bradford are looking just a little

:47:48.:47:52.

bit fatigued. There is 10 minutes to go to half-time, and it is

:47:52.:47:59.

important that they do not lose their shape. Burgess... He made the

:47:59.:48:07.

have bring. In the scramble, he has lost possession. -- he made a half-

:48:07.:48:17.
:48:17.:48:48.

break. As far as the errors are it is Bridge. He has lost it. Does

:48:48.:48:58.
:48:58.:49:12.

it go backwards? Yes, the referee penalties. There wasn't much fuel

:49:12.:49:22.

left anywhere. Bradford really targeted the ball. They feel as

:49:22.:49:30.

though they have to stop the off- road. But if the tackle rips out,

:49:30.:49:35.

you get the penalty. They need to stay tight on the ball. They went

:49:35.:49:45.
:49:45.:49:51.

too far. This is the West would a real sucker punch before the

:49:51.:50:01.
:50:01.:50:26.

I think they did very well, Bradford, to hold out the set of

:50:26.:50:32.

six. You see Westwood... He looks as though he is going through a

:50:32.:50:38.

huge gap. This is a third set of six. You cannot see Bradford

:50:38.:50:43.

holding out with nine minutes to go. You can see how possession has

:50:43.:50:53.
:50:53.:51:28.

their way over the line. But it is a metal sheet but refuses to give.

:51:28.:51:37.

What a relief for Bradford. Great events from them. We thought they

:51:37.:51:41.

couldn't hold out. You feel Warrington have had that shift from

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

right to left, they have numbers out there. Bradford hung on. Pryce

:51:51.:51:57.

got it right on that occasion. are you making about this? This is

:51:57.:52:01.

the perfect game for Bradford. This is as ugly as possible putting a

:52:01.:52:05.

lot of pressure on Warrington who I used to playing and offload game, a

:52:05.:52:09.

free-flowing game, and they have been frustrated, which is dangerous

:52:09.:52:19.
:52:19.:52:20.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds

:52:20.:53:02.

swarmed again. Good work from Bradford. So Mick Higham stands and

:53:02.:53:10.

weights. A kick... It booms of their. An attack back on the 20.

:53:10.:53:16.

Bradford clinging on to their shirt tails. It feels this pressure and

:53:16.:53:21.

momentum with a great kick from Briers, they just couldn't bring it

:53:21.:53:25.

in, but the intensity Warrington are playing on, Bradford cannot

:53:25.:53:35.
:53:35.:53:36.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds

:53:36.:54:23.

does a favour for Bradford because they can get some oxygen back him a

:54:23.:54:30.

tank. He got himself caught in an awkward position. They squeezed him

:54:30.:54:37.

down on the back of the neck. Bateman needs to be careful. It is

:54:37.:54:41.

a dangerous thing to do if you are going to squashed down on the back

:54:41.:54:47.

of somebody's neck. There is a lot of talk about wrestling techniques.

:54:47.:54:52.

Does that fall into this category? I am not sure it falls into the

:54:52.:54:58.

wrestling technique. But Brett Hodgson has got himself in an

:54:58.:55:02.

awkward position and Bateman has got to have a little bit more

:55:02.:55:06.

respect for him and not go down on his neck. Perhaps he did not mean

:55:06.:55:10.

to do it, but it is not a nice thing to get us of court in that

:55:10.:55:20.
:55:20.:55:30.

position. -- thing to get yourself penalty. But he has put it on

:55:30.:55:34.

report so the disciplinary committee will have to have a look

:55:34.:55:37.

at that in the coming week to decide whether any further action

:55:37.:55:47.
:55:47.:55:59.

needs to be taken against those two, but look how much ground Warrington

:55:59.:56:05.

have made. He is Waterhouse, gets his arm free. A lovely offload,

:56:05.:56:15.
:56:15.:56:22.

picked up by Harrison. He reaches Eventually, they will war in --

:56:22.:56:32.
:56:32.:56:39.

referee said play! And how did he get through that defending? The

:56:39.:56:42.

referee will get back to the original incident with the ball

:56:42.:56:46.

being knocked down to see if that was OK, but the Bradford defence,

:56:46.:56:51.

take a look at yourself. They seemed to stop and wait for the

:56:51.:56:57.

penalty to come. And the referee didn't blow his whistle, and

:56:57.:57:02.

Warrington skipped across the field. Here we are, badly goes up the

:57:02.:57:11.

line... I do not think that is a knock-on. It is heading on backward

:57:11.:57:18.

momentum. The only question is whether it hit Hodgson's hand, and

:57:18.:57:26.

if it doesn't, it is a knock-on. think that is a cave. Hodgson

:57:26.:57:36.

picked it up, he played on and Bradford did not. Have a look. Does

:57:36.:57:43.

it hit his arm here? Where does the ball go? I am not sure it does. It

:57:43.:57:48.

has gone back with any way. I think it is OK. I would be surprised if

:57:48.:57:55.

they do not go to ground here. They sat back and saw Hodgson skip

:57:55.:58:03.

across the field. It is a defensive effort that underlines the earlier

:58:03.:58:13.
:58:13.:58:23.

efforts. Maybe all the fuel has this house. Hodgson gets the chance

:58:23.:58:33.
:58:33.:58:34.

to add two. Here we are. It was not a knock-on. And they will be

:58:34.:58:40.

disappointed if with that to allow all that to happen but previous to

:58:40.:58:44.

that, Warrington are throwing a lot at Bradford and Bradford are very

:58:44.:58:50.

tired. As you said, that was just fatigue setting in from a lot that

:58:50.:59:00.
:59:00.:59:13.

that position. A little bit of relief from the walls who were

:59:13.:59:19.

howling earlier on. It was hairy at times. -- a little bit of relief

:59:19.:59:29.
:59:29.:59:31.

Bradford, because Warrington are very good at scoring back to back

:59:31.:59:35.

tries. We are very close to half- time. They are very good at picking

:59:35.:59:39.

up the intensity after they had scored a try to finish teams off

:59:39.:59:49.
:59:49.:59:50.

quickly. A couple of minutes for Bradford. Can they hang on or can

:59:50.:00:00.
:00:00.:00:00.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds

:00:00.:00:56.

Warrington suddenly produce another this with career. I think they need

:00:56.:01:01.

to get a breather at half-time, and come up with the energy that they

:01:01.:01:11.
:01:11.:01:15.

had early start of the first half. -- come out. Luke Gale has no

:01:15.:01:25.
:01:25.:01:38.

overlap. Bradford went for broke, and found themselves broken. A gift

:01:38.:01:45.

that gives Warrington space between them and their opponents. That is

:01:45.:01:55.

an absolute heartbreaker. They were trying to get in front before half-

:01:55.:02:05.
:02:05.:02:10.

time. Hargreaves tries to make the past, he slips and Reilly picks it

:02:10.:02:20.
:02:20.:02:23.

up, probably the quickest player on the field. -- Chris Riley. The that

:02:23.:02:33.
:02:33.:02:36.

was an absolute gift. -- that was an absolute gift. It means that a

:02:36.:02:41.

10-6 scoreline, that would have suited Bradford, is in all

:02:41.:02:51.
:02:51.:02:55.

likelihood going to be 16-6. That makes Warrington heavy favourites.

:02:55.:03:03.

Safely between the sticks. For three quarters of that half

:03:03.:03:11.

Bradford made a real good deal of Bradford made a real good deal of

:03:11.:03:21.

Bradford made a real good deal of It is a chilly game, but then moves

are part. All of the early pressure was from Bradford. Bradford led 6-0.

:03:39.:03:45.

Charl Monahan score the first try, then a Westwood almost scored.

:03:45.:03:55.
:03:55.:03:58.

Warrington had plenty of chances. This interception from Chris Riley

:03:58.:04:08.

saw him running to score. 16-6. There is a lot to analyse. Let's go

:04:08.:04:16.

to the touchline. So tight for her 38 minutes, will they rue those

:04:16.:04:26.
:04:26.:04:35.

late tries. I think they really well. -- I think they we'll do.

:04:35.:04:39.

They were playing the game perfectly, they were frustrating

:04:39.:04:47.

Warrington. They were scrambling really hard. Da last try, they put

:04:47.:04:50.

them on the back foot. They will going to half-time really kicking

:04:50.:05:00.
:05:00.:05:01.

themselves. They have to now make up a gap? They all have to play

:05:01.:05:07.

their normal game after half-time. They frustrate teams, that is what

:05:07.:05:17.
:05:17.:05:18.

they do well. They have to put pressure on Warrington. As we know,

:05:18.:05:23.

Warrington are a great team, they can score from anywhere.

:05:23.:05:30.

Bradford must be in shock. It is extraordinary that they have gone

:05:30.:05:40.
:05:40.:05:40.

in a losing. They led this match until the 36th minute. 61%

:05:40.:05:48.

possession for Warrington, and territory, they had the advantage.

:05:48.:05:56.

He will be trying to lift them. It is a difficult one to get over.

:05:56.:06:05.

They have frustrated Warrington, but Warrington are worth their lead.

:06:05.:06:11.

Lee Briers on the exercise bike at half-time! He is trying to keep his

:06:11.:06:21.
:06:21.:06:28.

muscles going. He will want to start the second period flying.

:06:28.:06:34.

Sometimes we get frustrated, but towards the back end you could see

:06:34.:06:42.

Bradford hanging on by their fingernails. I spoke to one fan who

:06:42.:06:51.

says it can be frustrating watching them. Sometimes they need to get a

:06:51.:06:57.

platform, go forward, sometimes they go a little bit too early. All

:06:57.:07:04.

of the stats favour Warrington, but the defence from the Bradford Bulls

:07:04.:07:11.

was magnificent. You have to praise that Bradford defence. Yet, the

:07:11.:07:16.

last two minutes, one missed tackle, and they Mr Bourke, and they are 12

:07:16.:07:26.
:07:26.:07:30.

points behind a. -- and the one that Mr Ball. Let's have a look at

:07:30.:07:40.

a few of those chances. Bradford had all of the early pressure.

:07:40.:07:47.

was one of the few opportunities, a great kick. I think it is the right

:07:47.:07:55.

call, he doesn't get the ball down. They need to execute those plays as

:07:55.:08:00.

many times as they possibly can. We have seen Warrington not quite

:08:00.:08:04.

execute with the skill that they have, but they are still free

:08:04.:08:14.
:08:14.:08:17.

scores up when they come in. -- three. You have to finish those

:08:17.:08:27.

chances. Once the ball this Larches, the defence are unorganised. --

:08:27.:08:37.
:08:37.:08:40.

this lodges. He didn't score the easy one, he took out one. You said

:08:41.:08:48.

to me that Warrington looked flat? I think they were flat at the start,

:08:48.:08:58.
:08:58.:09:01.

I'm not sure why. They needed a kick up the backside. They created

:09:01.:09:06.

so many opportunities. They weren't clinical enough. Some great play,

:09:06.:09:16.
:09:16.:09:17.

they fixed a the centre, the two attackers pulled the winger in.

:09:17.:09:27.
:09:27.:09:35.

That is the brilliance of Lee Briers, and Monaghan. I felt a they

:09:35.:09:45.
:09:45.:09:48.

have either run Briers on a few occasions -- I feel that they have

:09:48.:09:54.

over run Briers a few times. Look at the left-hand side of the

:09:54.:10:01.

picture. That is Brett Hodgson, he has an ice pack on his shoulder, he

:10:01.:10:10.

took a real hard tackle. Before we see his heroics, let's have a look

:10:10.:10:20.
:10:20.:10:22.

at some of their chances. A great overlap. Hodgson, there are two of

:10:22.:10:28.

them. You have to make easier for the ball-carrier. You have to hit

:10:28.:10:38.
:10:38.:10:47.

the ground there. A Westwood goes in,. -- Westwood goes in for the

:10:47.:10:53.

try. They are making a good go of stopping the try-scoring

:10:53.:11:02.

opportunities. They know that they are outnumbered. They are giving

:11:02.:11:07.

themselves an extra metre. That is what they have to do. If you are a

:11:07.:11:12.

centre like fullback, you have to give yourself an extra yard, so

:11:12.:11:22.
:11:22.:11:32.

when they come, you give and take, and pass. Briers looked very sharp.

:11:32.:11:36.

When the ball hits the ground, that is one of the most dangerous parts

:11:36.:11:46.
:11:46.:11:57.

a rugby. -- dangerous parts of the process. You have to play to the

:11:57.:12:07.

whistle. One missed tackle has put them under pressure. There is Chris

:12:07.:12:17.
:12:17.:12:24.

Riley, he was responsible for the interception and the try. When

:12:24.:12:27.

you're trying to be someone on points, you have to stay in the

:12:27.:12:34.

game, you have to win a few rounds. You don't give the team with speed

:12:34.:12:43.

a free opportunity. That was a free one. Tony Smith did say that

:12:43.:12:46.

Bradford are a side with no individual brilliance, they work to

:12:46.:12:53.

get a field position. Warrington will be really happy, they haven't

:12:53.:13:00.

had any field position. They have to be patient, hold the ball, and

:13:00.:13:10.
:13:10.:13:10.

hold the field position. Very much an advantage to Warrington.

:13:10.:13:14.

Those teams who are already through to the quarter-finals, they are

:13:14.:13:24.
:13:24.:13:26.

:15:08.:15:17.

Bradford gave away a two soft tries at the end of the first half. It

:15:17.:15:25.

was a tough opening a 30 minutes or so. They are fighting for their

:15:25.:15:33.

lives. They know how important this rounders. Potentially a trip to

:15:33.:15:40.

Wembley, important, not just because it -- of winners medals,

:15:41.:15:50.
:15:51.:16:13.

half? It is important for tee they do not go to Conservative in this

:16:13.:16:18.

game. -- for the Bulls. They looked pretty electric in the first 15

:16:18.:16:24.

minutes, but then they lose -- they lost energy. They have got to throw

:16:24.:16:34.
:16:34.:16:57.

down to hear Tanya's news from the boat out. Let's start with the home

:16:57.:17:01.

side. Warrington Wolves, Tony Smith saying they were playing with

:17:01.:17:11.
:17:11.:17:12.

several -- silly penalties. As for Bradford, despite the two late

:17:12.:17:22.
:17:22.:17:53.

tries, the manager says he is happy but he couldn't do so. Bradford

:17:53.:18:03.
:18:03.:18:07.

still have a few tackles in the bag. But it has been given away. A great

:18:07.:18:12.

set. Grit from Gale. Right from the line to get them to the area where

:18:12.:18:19.

they need to be. And we saw again Purtell From the outside of Atkins.

:18:19.:18:25.

It was easy for the referee to pick off. They got right into the right

:18:25.:18:30.

area. Of a put some pressure on the Warrington Wolves. And now they

:18:30.:18:40.
:18:40.:18:52.

came up with that error to give another penalty for Warrington.

:18:52.:18:57.

Great technique from Atkins. He pulled himself up. And Higham has

:18:57.:19:04.

been around a long time. That was an easy penalty. This is Waterhouse,

:19:04.:19:14.
:19:14.:19:38.

with Westwood during the run-in. There is nobody home. And Monaghan

:19:38.:19:45.

is there again! Three tries in six - run -- in succession. This has

:19:45.:19:53.

Warrington in complete control. have to be very careful. They hit

:19:53.:19:58.

another try before the hooter and Hodgson got himself into the right

:19:58.:20:04.

area. He brought the winger up. A lovely drink behind, and Monaghan

:20:04.:20:08.

knew what was going on. Lovely placement between two defenders.

:20:08.:20:15.

Could not have set up any better. Monaghan, right place, right time.

:20:15.:20:22.

Well, how will this heard Bradford? Well, it is difficult. You don't

:20:22.:20:28.

want to give them two tries just before and after half-time. All of

:20:28.:20:33.

a sudden, you've got a mountain to climb. They have looked pretty

:20:33.:20:36.

lively at the start of the second half. They have shown they can

:20:36.:20:44.

break the line, so there are points for them, but they have to be more

:20:44.:20:54.
:20:54.:21:03.

critical with Purtell, they have than some he has had so far. I

:21:03.:21:07.

don't think it has the weight. It hasn't. It remains a scoreline that

:21:07.:21:17.
:21:17.:21:18.

is not out of sight, 20 -6. Bradford will have to score three

:21:18.:21:23.

tries to get their noses back ahead. It was simple stuff for Monaghan in

:21:24.:21:29.

the end, wasn't it? It was simple, but fantastic execution from

:21:29.:21:34.

Hodgson. People underestimate the level of skill required kicking him

:21:34.:21:42.

for pace. -- kicking on for praise. You have to kick it with pinpoint

:21:43.:21:52.
:21:53.:22:11.

you cannot write a team of whatever the circumstances because in this

:22:11.:22:15.

game they momentum switch is only one could break away. When you get

:22:15.:22:18.

that switching momentum, anything could happen so if the Bradford

:22:18.:22:23.

Bulls can turn something quickly into a try, then we have a match on

:22:23.:22:33.
:22:33.:22:41.

our hands again, their real good forcing the issue? It was a poor

:22:41.:22:51.

pass from Gale. It is difficult to take right on the line. The

:22:51.:22:54.

Warrington defence, very comfortable in the face of the

:22:54.:22:58.

Bradford players. Again, that is the second time they have got the

:22:58.:23:08.
:23:08.:23:27.

20. The Bulls regrouping again. Francis Cummings, it wasn't that

:23:27.:23:33.

long ago that he was running the under 70 -- as a 17-year-old for

:23:33.:23:43.
:23:43.:23:50.

Warrington. Instead of cutting the ball out of your own half, you have

:23:50.:23:57.

to Defence 30 yards. Perhaps he has got an argument there, but he has

:23:57.:24:00.

got to grip that ball. You cannot give away possession like that with

:24:00.:24:06.

the light of Briers and Atkins because they will hurt you. This is

:24:06.:24:16.
:24:16.:24:22.

the third time they have dropped invitation for him. Ryan Atkins,

:24:22.:24:26.

not exactly helped over the line, but his job made easier by that

:24:26.:24:35.

slip in the line. Whitehead and Gale grasping at air and Warrington

:24:35.:24:44.

are getting closer to that quarter- final place. Here it is again. He

:24:44.:24:49.

has got to have more security on that ball but Atkins is so strong.

:24:49.:24:54.

You don't realise how strong he is when he straightens up like that.

:24:54.:24:59.

And great pace as well. If you don't get for contact on him, he is

:24:59.:25:05.

very difficult to stop. -- if you do not get full contact on him. A

:25:05.:25:15.
:25:15.:25:27.

fullback over the years. Another two points added to Warrington's

:25:27.:25:36.

cause. 26-6. Or what was a fantastic cup tie is in danger of

:25:36.:25:40.

becoming one-sided and Bradford need a quick response and they need

:25:40.:25:47.

to tighten up their defending, to. The problem for the Bulls is, and I

:25:47.:25:52.

have said about this before the game, they have made 10 errors in

:25:52.:25:57.

this game, and when you are making that amount of errors, and giving

:25:57.:26:02.

territory, it makes it difficult to stay with your opponents. Robbie

:26:02.:26:07.

Hunter-Paul. It is going to be interesting to see what kind of

:26:07.:26:11.

energy levels Bradford are having. Maybe the last 20 minutes of the

:26:11.:26:17.

first half, maybe that took too much energy in defending. A lot of

:26:17.:26:21.

players are reaching out to try to grab rather than getting their

:26:21.:26:27.

shoulders and heads into the tackle. We will see. A couple of weeks ago,

:26:27.:26:30.

you were predicting the witness fight back, and you were the only

:26:30.:26:40.
:26:40.:26:50.

one! They have got to make up 20 want to be. Warrington just turning

:26:50.:26:55.

the screw. They are showing their intent. When they are in the right

:26:55.:27:00.

area of the field, they can be from buoyant. When they are not, they

:27:00.:27:03.

can show purpose. They have had some kicks that have gone into the

:27:03.:27:09.

corner. They are showing the intent they have got and they will make

:27:09.:27:13.

this game very difficult for Bradford to get back into.

:27:13.:27:19.

current Bradford chairman, suggesting he was not long in the

:27:19.:27:27.

job. The former chairman, Chris Casey, would be voted out as well

:27:28.:27:32.

at an extraordinary general meeting in the next couple of meetings or

:27:32.:27:37.

so and the future of this club... Still an awful lot of things to

:27:37.:27:47.
:27:47.:27:58.

terrific in the last few weeks, raising half a million pounds. But

:27:58.:28:04.

they will suspect their side will be on the end of the beating. What

:28:04.:28:12.

a catch! Right on the touchline. is showing experience. He is not

:28:12.:28:18.

the quickest fullback. He is one of the smartest. He read that kick

:28:18.:28:23.

with perfection. When your fullback takes that on, all the sudden,

:28:24.:28:32.

catching it, all of a sudden, you on the 30 metre line. It lifts your

:28:32.:28:42.
:28:42.:28:55.

has. It disappears. A grammar Sunday grain from Ryan Atkins. He

:28:55.:29:04.

knows it was a chance. -- a grimness and a grin. He has not got

:29:04.:29:14.
:29:14.:29:46.

the delicate touch that Hodgson has will not. A sparkling,

:29:46.:29:53.

scintillating try for the Bradford Bulls. Is at the start, or is that

:29:53.:29:57.

compensation? That is the score that will live long in the memory.

:29:57.:30:04.

A fantastic player. Or to fantastic try! It must have gone through

:30:04.:30:09.

seven or pairs of hands. It started with Whitehead who got the offload

:30:09.:30:19.
:30:19.:30:21.

to Ainscough. Quick hands, Purtell. And then they cut out a Briers. And

:30:21.:30:28.

then a score in the corner. Great Raffarin. He allowed the advantage.

:30:28.:30:35.

-- great refereeing. A fantastic finish. Game on for stop we have

:30:36.:30:39.

been singing the praises of John Bateman, because he has been

:30:39.:30:49.
:30:49.:30:49.

terrific, but Elliot Whitehead, he is another. The kick has been

:30:49.:30:54.

missed. They only have the four points. But Elliot Whitehead, this

:30:54.:31:00.

was the break and the offload. you first come in, you do get that

:31:00.:31:06.

impact initially. When you have had that initial impact, then to back

:31:07.:31:11.

it up in the second or third season is the difficulty, and it is the

:31:12.:31:21.
:31:22.:31:29.

sign of a good player, and he is after the court that. -- stepped

:31:29.:31:39.
:31:39.:31:49.

out of play after the whistle. The penalty has put them 20 yards away.

:31:49.:31:53.

Momentum is a cliche in the modern game, it doesn't turn much to turn

:31:53.:32:01.

up things around. Taken forward by Hargreaves. The cup-tie is back on

:32:02.:32:11.
:32:12.:32:27.

again. this is Lulia, he switches the back. They are 10 away, still a

:32:27.:32:37.

couple of tackles to go. That might have been a try, as it is

:32:37.:32:47.
:32:47.:32:47.

Warrington survive. It was a really good offloads. -- offload. If he

:32:47.:32:51.

could have just taken that, all of a sudden the momentum would have

:32:51.:33:00.

been firmly with the Bradford Bulls. As it is, he just couldn't hold it.

:33:00.:33:04.

There will still be some beating hearts are amongst these Warrington

:33:04.:33:14.

players, they know there is still a job to be done. Bradford have hope

:33:14.:33:22.

in their hearts. Let's go to the touchline. You are looking a bit

:33:22.:33:28.

twitchy now? We knew Bradford were always going to put up a massive

:33:28.:33:35.

fight. As soon as you start giving away penalties, you invite teams to

:33:35.:33:44.

attack you. As soon as we get down Bradford's end, we are scoring too

:33:44.:33:54.
:33:54.:33:54.

many points. Is he going to get less twitchy now? Warrington are

:33:54.:34:04.
:34:04.:34:08.

looking for something. Here comes Westwood. He charged it down. A

:34:08.:34:17.

penalty for the Bradford Bulls. think he could hear him coming. He

:34:17.:34:27.
:34:27.:34:31.

turned away from it. -- I think he heard him coming. 20 minutes left

:34:31.:34:41.
:34:41.:34:47.

to play. There are 16 points in it. It still requires a three tries and

:34:47.:34:57.
:34:57.:35:09.

a goal for Bradford to get ahead. Looking for a penalty, not given.

:35:09.:35:16.

The penalty does Bradford way. Bradford are having a real good day

:35:16.:35:26.
:35:26.:35:32.

at this. They can feel something coming. -- a real good go at this.

:35:32.:35:42.
:35:42.:35:51.

A blast for words by Craig Kopczak. -- a blast for words. A quick word

:35:51.:36:01.
:36:01.:36:05.

on Craig Kopczak. His late third word is his real danger. --

:36:05.:36:15.
:36:15.:36:16.

footwork. He will go. Has he got it down? There was a real wrestle. The

:36:16.:36:23.

referee says, no. He didn't get it down, the handover goes

:36:23.:36:33.
:36:33.:36:37.

Warrington's wave. -- way. The best option would have been to try and

:36:37.:36:47.
:36:47.:36:49.

drained energy. -- drain at their energy. There was a tangle of

:36:49.:36:59.
:36:59.:37:06.

bodies. The referee got that right. This is Westwood, in the right-hand

:37:06.:37:16.
:37:16.:37:22.

channel. Elima holding on. They put the kick in higher. He does very

:37:22.:37:32.
:37:32.:37:32.

well there. He has passed another one. They dragged him down. A great

:37:32.:37:42.
:37:42.:37:45.

return. Great skill. Riley does not get the contact right. Another

:37:45.:37:52.

penalty, another opportunity to put some more pressure on Warrington.

:37:52.:38:00.

The 9th penalty conceded by Warrington. The referee is looking

:38:00.:38:10.
:38:10.:38:12.

for Lee Briers. REFEREE: We have had up three penalties in about

:38:13.:38:22.
:38:23.:38:25.

three minutes. Sorted out. Tidy it up. -- we have had. Warrington

:38:25.:38:35.
:38:35.:38:43.

won't mind that talking to. This is Danny Addy. This is his first

:38:43.:38:53.
:38:53.:39:07.

involvement. The referee deciding it was a forward pass. They are

:39:07.:39:17.
:39:17.:39:24.

trying to test out the Warrington defence. I'm not sure. It was 50-50.

:39:24.:39:34.
:39:34.:39:45.

Here is wryly. -- hears Chris Riley. Warrington looking to start again.

:39:45.:39:52.

Looking to regain the initiative. If they can get another try it

:39:52.:40:02.
:40:02.:40:10.

would put them back on the summit of the hill. Here is Briers. They

:40:11.:40:20.
:40:21.:40:26.

slept. That is brilliant! -- there is a slip. Offside, that is the

:40:26.:40:34.

question that is being asked. He might have snatched an unlikely try.

:40:34.:40:44.
:40:44.:40:46.

He is the cheekiest of rugby league players. Monaghan has timed his run

:40:47.:40:54.

to perfection. I can't see any reason why this would get short off.

:40:54.:40:59.

We will have a closer look here. The execution from Briers is

:40:59.:41:05.

outstanding. There is a slim possibility that has been Oxford

:41:05.:41:15.
:41:15.:41:16.

from a Warrington player. -- that has been knocked forward. Did he

:41:16.:41:26.
:41:26.:41:28.

get a hand to wait for? -- did he get a hand to read? I think it gets

:41:28.:41:38.
:41:38.:41:40.

knocked on. Possibly in an offside position. Is the offside? -- is he

:41:40.:41:49.

offside? It looks like it's come off the back of Ben Jefferies. You

:41:49.:41:59.
:41:59.:42:00.

choose your angle, you take your choice. I think from the other

:42:00.:42:08.

angle, he certainly touched it, Monaghan. A Westwood is certainly

:42:08.:42:18.
:42:18.:42:26.

offside. I don't think he's touched it. I think it is a Lulia's arm. --

:42:26.:42:36.
:42:36.:42:38.

I think it is Lulia's arm. The referee has made a decision. Is

:42:38.:42:48.
:42:48.:42:58.

this a try for Lee Briers? No try! He has decided that Joel Monaghan

:42:58.:43:08.
:43:08.:43:10.

got a hand to that. He has given the handover. Bradford have an

:43:10.:43:16.

opportunity to have another crack at this Warrington side. They could

:43:16.:43:24.

make a real game of this. With 15 minutes left, and a 16 point

:43:24.:43:34.
:43:34.:43:36.

deficit, it's not why you'd want to be -- where you would want to be.

:43:36.:43:39.

All it takes is a good defensive effort from Warrington to steer

:43:39.:43:49.
:43:49.:43:55.

them home. Have Bradford got the craft that to do it? -- to do it.

:43:55.:44:05.
:44:05.:44:06.

Lee Briers has been called again by the referee. REFEREE: That is four

:44:06.:44:15.

consecutive penalties. You are 18 warning -- you are on a team a

:44:15.:44:23.

warning. They will have someone sent to the sin-bin. They will be

:44:23.:44:31.

keen not to give any more penalties away. Lee Briers is telling his

:44:31.:44:41.
:44:41.:44:44.

team to cut it out. It is another penalty. It is ten minutes in the

:44:44.:44:54.
:44:54.:44:58.

sin-bin for Chris Hill. A shake of Tony Smith's head. Warrington are

:44:58.:45:07.

down to 12. With a man advantage, I can Bradford make it count? They

:45:07.:45:17.
:45:17.:45:26.

have to do something quickly to start the ball rolling. They

:45:26.:45:36.
:45:36.:45:48.

wrestle him down. Well met. A great scramble defence. I think he might

:45:48.:45:53.

have just made it. A great scramble defence. Where is this coming down

:45:53.:46:03.
:46:03.:46:15.

from? -- coming down? Monaghan. Riley is still going. Bridge had

:46:15.:46:24.

his ankles tapped. He wants to get to his feet quickly. Monaghan

:46:24.:46:34.
:46:34.:46:34.

pushes them on. They almost off their feet. Extraordinary! -- they

:46:34.:46:44.
:46:44.:46:53.

Bradford survive. What a passage of play! Bradford, didn't race to

:46:53.:47:01.

scrum this down to stop that clock. We have just seen that pass by

:47:01.:47:08.

Briers, quick hands, just in time to knock him off. A forward pass to

:47:08.:47:16.

McCarthy, just could not take it in. Briers got the ball, a quick tap,

:47:16.:47:26.
:47:26.:47:36.

and then all of a sudden Warrington that's why. -- his head in. Another

:47:36.:47:44.

penalty. Oh, I am not sure whether it is a penalty. He is not happy

:47:44.:47:54.
:47:54.:48:08.

with the scrum. Gale, he is putting in a really good shift. He has not

:48:08.:48:18.
:48:18.:48:32.

been perfect this afternoon, but he It goes Warrington's way. Luke Gale

:48:32.:48:42.
:48:42.:48:43.

wants an explanation and here it is. He has to keep hold of that. His

:48:43.:48:48.

arm has been trapped, he is within his rights to get it away. I don't

:48:48.:48:57.

think it was a penalty. Can Warrington put this game to bed?

:48:57.:49:02.

Let's just have a look at Warrington can do from here because

:49:02.:49:08.

we have 11 minutes... And that is a panel to! The tide is turning

:49:08.:49:18.
:49:18.:49:30.

get the decision and the ball back for his team. Lee Briers, he put

:49:30.:49:36.

two fingers up to the stand, should we take the kick? The message was

:49:36.:49:42.

that the years. Let's hear from Robbie Hunter-Paul. Well, this is a

:49:42.:49:50.

case of deja-vu. Into the last 10 minutes of the game. Trailing by 18

:49:50.:49:54.

points. Bradford, if they are going to get back into this game, they

:49:54.:49:59.

will have to get away from their traditional style. They will have

:50:00.:50:09.
:50:10.:50:23.

might be up for a comeback. Hodgson, he is kicking this, 18 points if he

:50:23.:50:32.

gets this in. It is just about possible. It would take the game

:50:32.:50:35.

for a golden. Extra time but in reality we are watching Warrington

:50:35.:50:41.

edging closer to a place in the last eight. Even though the kick is

:50:41.:50:45.

missed, valuable seconds have been run down. And the drop back from

:50:45.:50:49.

the 20 should be that Warrington get possession back again. They

:50:49.:50:56.

will not be too concerned about that. They have a full set of six

:50:56.:51:01.

now. They have gone for the short kick. Neither one nor the other,

:51:01.:51:07.

neither bonked nor short. It was no man's land. -- neither long it nor

:51:07.:51:17.
:51:17.:51:38.

Grix... Von Waterhouse, the He will not mind that tackle, he

:51:38.:51:48.
:51:48.:52:09.

that Bradford is staying in. don't think they have given this

:52:09.:52:15.

game up, Bradford. But they have given away just another penalty.

:52:15.:52:22.

The quarter-final draw will be on Radio 5 Live on Tuesday 1st May.

:52:22.:52:32.
:52:32.:52:47.

bit of hope. Write down the middle it is taken again. The cup-tie from

:52:47.:52:53.

the Salford City Stadium, that should be a cracker. Commentary

:52:53.:53:02.

start that the 3 o'clock. -- starts at 3 o'clock. Bradford know they

:53:02.:53:12.
:53:12.:53:24.

are clinging on to a lost cause. here. That will take the wind out

:53:24.:53:30.

of Bradford's sales. Bradford are getting very frustrated, they have

:53:30.:53:35.

lost their shape. I feel that Warrington can put something

:53:36.:53:44.

together to finish at this game. -- to finish this game. Tackles for

:53:44.:53:54.
:53:54.:54:00.

Warrington at the end of this. hit the man, so it should be

:54:00.:54:10.
:54:10.:54:17.

Bradford's. And the decision, they just want to put it away. They got

:54:18.:54:27.
:54:28.:54:28.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds

:54:28.:55:58.

offload. Did that go backwards? because Hill had come back from the

:55:58.:56:08.
:56:08.:56:13.

sin-bin. Purtell Collects and puts it into the middle for Jeffries.

:56:13.:56:19.

Six minutes to go. They are just trying to put this game away. A

:56:19.:56:29.
:56:29.:56:36.

lovely kick. A very good try. a special one there. Olivier Elima,

:56:36.:56:45.

a very good take from a very good kick and a very smart try. We have

:56:45.:56:51.

seen Hodgson doing that early in the game, he does that as well. But

:56:51.:56:58.

Elima backs himself. He'd tried to get his hands on the ball, Hodgson,

:56:58.:57:03.

but Elima gets it over the line. It will certainly make an interest in

:57:03.:57:12.

Finnish. And it is Gale with the kick. It remains tantalisingly

:57:12.:57:18.

interesting. 26 for Warrington, a team for Bradford Bulls. Eight

:57:18.:57:28.
:57:28.:57:28.

points the difference. Two tries, one goal. -- 18 ft Bradford Bulls.

:57:28.:57:33.

Two tries, I have seen it happen before. Warrington are trying to

:57:33.:57:38.

take the place out of this game and to get to the end. Bradford will

:57:38.:57:48.
:57:48.:57:50.

throw everything at them. 26-16! Not eight points but 10 points.

:57:50.:57:55.

Warrington know that, surely, what they have done so far should be

:57:55.:58:05.
:58:05.:58:06.

enough. Here is Jefferies... Oh. Had the referee been in a

:58:06.:58:11.

charitable mood, he would have said that went backwards. But he is not.

:58:11.:58:19.

An apology from Jeffries. Frustrating, isn't it? It was set

:58:19.:58:26.

up for a really exciting finish. And Jeffries will be very

:58:26.:58:36.
:58:36.:58:59.

disappointed. That was a relatively held off. They might not even need

:58:59.:59:06.

a try. Here comes Hodgson. Not for the first time have we seen him

:59:06.:59:12.

slip. It is damp. Both sides have lost their cuttings at crucial

:59:12.:59:22.
:59:22.:59:36.

a drop but underneath of the sticks. -- a drop. Monaghan is renowned for

:59:36.:59:45.

winners. They have gone for the short one. Here is Hodgson. Who is

:59:45.:59:49.

your man of the match? I think Harrison has been very good, but

:59:49.:59:55.

the man of the match is Brett Hodgson. The execution of both

:59:55.:00:00.

sides has not been what they would like. There has been a couple of

:00:00.:00:06.

cases in this match, one with the try just before half-time, where he

:00:06.:00:14.

was set up for the try just after the half-time. But I think that

:00:14.:00:20.

Hodgson, he has been brilliant. This and he is wondering why on the

:00:20.:00:30.
:00:30.:00:31.

day he scored a hat-trick that he didn't get man of the match, Joel

:00:31.:00:37.

Monaghan, it is seconds before it had been given to Brett Hodgson.

:00:37.:00:47.
:00:47.:00:49.

All the passes of Joel Monaghan, they have taken some execution. But

:00:49.:00:56.

I think that Hodgson, he deserves it. Hodgson, menacingly was a round

:00:56.:01:02.

the back, to give the option to miss him out. A great try and a

:01:02.:01:12.
:01:12.:01:18.

very good finish. Wigan are through, St Helens are through, there are

:01:18.:01:24.

some others to make the final eight. They will be some great hung donors

:01:24.:01:34.
:01:34.:01:45.

as well. -- humdingers. And you can match performance with a wonderful

:01:45.:01:53.

conversion. In means they have won by her 32 points-16. A terrific

:01:53.:01:58.

cup-tie. Yes. We have had everything. Bradford trying to get

:01:58.:02:08.

back into the game. The game was only dared when it Ben Jefferies

:02:08.:02:14.

dropped -- the game was only deader when Ben Jefferies dropped that

:02:14.:02:20.

return kick. Warrington will be really happy with the result. They

:02:20.:02:26.

will go into the hat for the next round. The man of the match is

:02:26.:02:36.
:02:36.:02:42.

Brett Hodgson. He is talking to Tangier. -- Tanya. That was a

:02:42.:02:52.
:02:52.:02:58.

bruising game! It was tough. We gave them a bit of a look-in. We're

:02:58.:03:05.

not doing ourselves any favours with giving away so any penalties.

:03:05.:03:11.

-- giving away so many penalties. What does it mean getting to the

:03:11.:03:16.

quarter-finals? It is great. This competition is to pad. Your level

:03:16.:03:21.

goes up every time you play in the Challenge Cup. Thank you very much.

:03:21.:03:29.

Let's bring in a jar or Monahan, you just missed out on added that?

:03:29.:03:37.

-- let's bring in Joel Monaghan, you just missed out on man of the

:03:37.:03:43.

match. What did you say at half- time? Just don't give anything away.

:03:43.:03:53.
:03:53.:03:58.

I don't think anyone listened. They are a big team. They stuck at it.

:03:58.:04:03.

Congratulations on going up the route. Thank you. Happy anniversary

:04:03.:04:13.

to mum and dad back home. A message for his parents back home in

:04:13.:04:16.

Australia. It will be very late for Australia. It will be very late for

:04:16.:04:24.

Warrington are through to the quarter-finals. They had beaten

:04:24.:04:31.

Bradford had 32 points higher than 16 -- they have beaten Bradford 32-

:04:31.:04:37.

16. We will be going on to the red button very shortly. If you want to

:04:37.:04:47.
:04:47.:04:59.

be part of that, join us on the red button. We will have highlights of

:04:59.:05:06.

the press to the quarter-finals. There are three match of the days

:05:06.:05:14.

tonight and over the weekend. Bradford were capable, but they

:05:14.:05:24.
:05:24.:05:24.

didn't have the quality to trouble Warrington. You have to feel for

:05:24.:05:28.

Bradford, you wonder how significant that maybe? Credit to
