:00:13. > :00:32.COMMENTATOR: Beautiful play! At they are in the ascendancy, no
:00:32. > :00:45.doubt. Magnificent. Superb effort. And absolutely Fabulous try.
:00:45. > :00:53.The Challenge Cup sits alongside the FA Cup in Wigan. Will the Super
:00:53. > :01:05.League Trophy will be in their in a week's time. In the week three of
:01:05. > :01:21.the play-offs. COMMENTATOR: Magnificent effort. It
:01:21. > :01:39.is too easy! Robinson is in again, his fourth. Kallum Watkins. An easy
:01:39. > :01:46.try. That is what they needed. That is what St Helens needed. St Helens
:01:46. > :01:55.are level. Maguire with the drop kick. The match when! With me this
:01:55. > :02:06.week, the coach of the Salford Red Devils as they are now known. Brian,
:02:06. > :02:11.following last week, Peter lost his job at Hull. I was disappointed for
:02:11. > :02:18.Peter, ostensibly on the back of that defeat. We do not know what
:02:18. > :02:23.goes on at the behind scenes at the club. If there is disruption, more
:02:23. > :02:32.often than not it is easy to sack the coach rather than players. Lee
:02:32. > :02:38.Radford, watch out, I am thrilled for him. He was at Bradford. A
:02:38. > :02:43.strong and determined current will stop he is a great person. I wish
:02:43. > :02:47.him the best. The other news this week was something we knew, Sam
:02:47. > :02:49.Tomkins is off to the New Zealand Warriors. It was the worst kept
:02:49. > :02:55.secret in the game. We wish him Warriors. It was the worst kept
:02:55. > :02:59.well, as well. He has lived up the Super League. He has been brilliant.
:02:59. > :03:03.We want him to do the same in New Zealand. People are plying their
:03:03. > :03:06.trade down there because it is perceived as the tougher
:03:06. > :03:13.competition. I think he will fly down there. It is a good move.
:03:13. > :03:16.Warrington chose to play Huddersfield and Tony Smith claim
:03:16. > :03:22.to have nothing to do with that decision. They went for the highest
:03:22. > :03:26.ranked team. I am sure Tony Smith would have had something to say to
:03:26. > :03:32.whoever made the decision. Very interesting. When it motivate
:03:32. > :03:36.Huddersfield? Do you not need motivation at this stage? You take
:03:36. > :03:41.those things out of the equation. When you get to the best four teams
:03:41. > :03:46.in the last weekend before the Grand Final, that is soon forgotten.
:03:46. > :03:50.The fans and directors might look at the implications and you have to
:03:50. > :03:56.weigh everything up, but when you have the best four teams wanting a
:03:56. > :04:01.place in the final, you will see cracking games. First, Warrington
:04:01. > :04:08.against Huddersfield. Did they choose wisely? There victory over
:04:08. > :04:14.Leeds Rhinos makes them strong contenders for a second consecutive
:04:14. > :04:22.appearance at Old Trafford. The departure of Adrian Morley added
:04:22. > :04:26.motivation. The league leaders are keen to build on their success.
:04:26. > :04:35.Another dazzling display by Luke Robinson is key. A Grand Final
:04:35. > :04:39.Appearance 80 minutes away from one of these teams. Huddersfield with
:04:40. > :04:42.the chance to take part in their first Super League Grand Final.
:04:42. > :04:48.Warrington are keen to return to Old Trafford and make to -- make
:04:48. > :05:19.amends for the defeat last season. Jake Connor comes in for the
:05:19. > :05:26.injured Grix. Physically, they have dominated.
:05:26. > :05:32.That is the test a Huddersfield, can they stand up physically? Under
:05:32. > :05:38.the controversial Club Call system Warrington chose to play against
:05:38. > :05:44.Huddersfield rather than Leeds. We will see if the choice bears out.
:05:44. > :05:53.What would you have done? I think it is a silly idea, a gimmick that
:05:53. > :05:57.is not needed. Warrington have won the last eight games against
:05:57. > :06:03.Huddersfield and so there is some form. Do you go for the two points,
:06:03. > :06:08.only two minutes in the game, will you keep the momentum and go for
:06:08. > :06:17.the six? I am old-fashioned. I would go for two points. They are
:06:17. > :06:21.going for six. That is the modern way. In cup games, you are more
:06:21. > :06:41.conscious of going for the two. It is a try! Mugged is in already.
:06:41. > :06:47.What a final pass -- Joel Monaghan. Warrington starting off like a
:06:47. > :06:55.house on fire. Joel Monaghan in for his 29th of the season. They
:06:55. > :07:01.concede a penalty early in the game. They go into their structure. Lee
:07:01. > :07:08.Briers, the ball out the back. Short passing. Joel Monaghan found
:07:08. > :07:43.the try-line. This is where Lee Briers excels.
:07:43. > :07:55.That was a nice little cake. Has somebody scored? Yes, it looks like
:07:55. > :08:00.a mix up behind the line. -- kick. Nobody really took it. Let's see
:08:00. > :08:10.what the video referee has got to say. They are onside. No body
:08:10. > :08:20.shouted for the ball. He cut across Westwood. It is a try 100%. They
:08:20. > :08:35.had people. They read it and covered it. I thought it had come
:08:35. > :08:48.off Ratchford. You might be right. You can see better than me. Ray
:08:48. > :08:54.French picked it up. If it has come off Danny Brough... Look how he is
:08:54. > :09:02.standing. They are going for the touchdown. It goes backwards. I am
:09:02. > :09:09.starting to lean towards it has come off Danny Brough. I think it
:09:09. > :09:19.is a try, I think it is not back. Who invented the video referee? Try.
:09:19. > :09:27.Go at half backs, building pressure. -- good half backs. Danny Brough
:09:27. > :09:40.followed up on the kick. It is a try. Huddersfield, Danny Brough
:09:40. > :09:42.again. The referee said to play on. That was a big decision. I thought
:09:42. > :10:44.he had lost it. What did he do? I think he gave
:10:44. > :10:52.obstruction against Cudjoe. He dropped it. It was a free play to
:10:52. > :10:54.Huddersfield. It occurred because he crossed behind a player and you
:10:54. > :11:04.cannot do that. The referee is explaining to Richie
:11:04. > :11:19.Myler exactly what happened. It is all Huddersfield at the
:11:19. > :11:45.moment. Has he got it down? We cannot tell.
:11:45. > :11:53.The referee things there might be a chance. A youngster on his debut.
:11:53. > :11:58.He has powered over with three players. He is strong. He also has
:11:58. > :12:05.the ability to back himself. That is a fair try to a kid on his debut.
:12:05. > :12:13.He had the confidence to go for it and he has got it. Jake Connor. In
:12:13. > :12:22.his first season. 18 years old. That will give him confidence. He
:12:22. > :12:26.has the ability to back himself. He powers through. They underestimate
:12:26. > :12:31.his strength and he gets through over the line. Robinson was not
:12:31. > :12:35.his strength and he gets through bothered about passing, he knows
:12:35. > :12:57.that he had strength. He -- he trains with him.
:12:57. > :13:03.He could not control the ball. Play on.
:13:03. > :13:44.line from Huddersfield. It is an even contest at the moment. That
:13:44. > :13:52.has to be a penalty. When you give away a penalty on a late run, they
:13:52. > :14:17.kill team's defence if energy and structure. -- defensive.
:14:17. > :14:26.This Huddersfield holding well.
:14:26. > :14:41.That was a good and solid tackle. Again. Terrific passing out wide.
:14:41. > :14:47.Down the middle of the pack, sucking in the defenders. Lee
:14:47. > :14:55.Briers knew where the ball was going. You give away a penalty late
:14:55. > :15:04.and you face the consequences, especially against a team like
:15:04. > :15:05.Warrington. Three on two and the subtle pass to Joel Monaghan. He is
:15:05. > :15:18.always there. A brace of tries for Joel Monaghan,
:15:18. > :15:34.30 this season. I think there will be another
:15:34. > :15:41.forward to go yet. Adrian Morley. Sooner or later they whip that ball
:15:41. > :15:48.along the line. Here he goes! Now then. He has got it down, but was
:15:48. > :15:53.the tackle in when his elbow touched the ground? Was there delay? This
:15:53. > :16:02.will be a very interesting decision, I think. This will be double
:16:02. > :16:07.movement, but does the player stop his progress? If he deems the player
:16:07. > :16:12.has rolled, he is allowed to roll. He still has not got the ball on the
:16:12. > :16:21.ground and a boot has come up out of the grass with the Huddersfield sock
:16:21. > :16:27.on it! No try. Good ruling by the video referee. I think some fans
:16:27. > :16:33.below us a great. There was not much booing or jeering at the referee. He
:16:33. > :16:45.looks like he might have broken his hand, I think. This is a try! No
:16:45. > :16:54.question. Warrington are in there. Of that kick. Simon Grix it is. He
:16:54. > :16:58.was alert and he went through. Teams that win championships have a good
:16:58. > :17:06.kicking team. They get the opportunity. Chris Bridge gets held
:17:06. > :17:10.up. Who will step up and create the pressure with their kicking game?
:17:10. > :17:15.This time he says, give me the ball. He gets the bounce but he has
:17:15. > :17:21.plenty of chasers and they get rewarded. It comes off Leroy Cudjoe.
:17:21. > :17:55.He misses it and he is there. Good tackle by Danny Brough. He is
:17:55. > :18:03.getting through a lot of work in defence. Taken again! Beautifully
:18:03. > :18:13.plucked out of the air by Ryan Atkins. The fans are going wild. And
:18:13. > :18:22.Warrington increase that lead. 22-10. They practice makes perfect.
:18:22. > :18:27.This is something that modern outside backs have got to have, the
:18:27. > :18:31.ability to catch the ball above your head. Warrington is a great
:18:31. > :18:37.exponent. It is another sign of building pressure with your kicking
:18:37. > :18:40.game, timing your run, don't let it hit your chest, catch it high and
:18:40. > :18:47.score. Joel Monaghan making good ground out
:18:47. > :19:04.of the defence. Gareth Carvell should make a good
:19:04. > :19:08.contribution to Bradford next year. That is where he is bound. Now, a
:19:08. > :19:25.chance for Huddersfield. This Huddersfield hooker picks up a
:19:25. > :19:33.lot of tries, number nine. He will be watched. Robinson cannot get it
:19:33. > :19:44.away. Very effective tackle from Monaghan. Patrick two metres short.
:19:44. > :19:56.This is better from Huddersfield but they have to stay down here. Yes!
:19:56. > :20:02.That is a try! Jermaine McGillvary, he is in. No problem whatsoever. The
:20:02. > :20:12.big man did well to keep that ball and himself in play. Huddersfield
:20:12. > :20:15.hit back. Gareth Carvell gives the Huddersfield Giants the chance to
:20:15. > :20:19.attack and they have not had many Huddersfield Giants the chance to
:20:20. > :20:25.opportunities. Danny Brough doubles up. They wed in from the outside and
:20:25. > :20:35.create a space for Jermaine McGillvary. That is vision. Too big
:20:35. > :20:39.and strong from Jermaine McGillvary. Warrington winning by eight points.
:20:39. > :21:01.Huddersfield need to pick up points soon. Crabtree driving in.
:21:01. > :21:13.Huddersfield pressing this one into line. Can they get over? He has kept
:21:13. > :21:22.hold of it. A plume tie over the line. Just one metre short. -- Ta-ai
:21:22. > :21:38.over the line. A good kick, up in the air, but
:21:38. > :21:42.caught behind with Atkins. Ten minutes remaining. Huddersfield will
:21:42. > :21:46.not go away with ten minutes remaining. They can sniff victory
:21:46. > :21:55.and the way to do it is with that great kicking game.
:21:55. > :22:04.Those Huddersfield fans, clad in claret and gold, feeling their side
:22:04. > :22:36.coming back into it. Jason Chan has had a good game. He
:22:36. > :22:40.has been very good. Crabtree driving it in. He just needed support on his
:22:40. > :23:09.left hand side. Shaun Lunt beginning to work again.
:23:09. > :23:18.Huddersfield are right back bang in this game. Huddersfield go down the
:23:18. > :23:22.left-hand side, they come behind Shaun Lunt, some tired bodies after
:23:22. > :23:32.repeated errors, forcing him in for a try. And Huddersfield running
:23:32. > :23:37.well. Crabtree is smashing through and making a big difference. He gets
:23:37. > :23:45.out wide again. Adam Murphy comes inside. He has lost the ball.
:23:45. > :23:49.Massive call this one in the context of the game. He is not going to ask
:23:49. > :23:54.his linesman. He has lost control. of the game. He is not going to ask
:23:54. > :24:00.It is a great ruling by the referee. He has lost contact. He
:24:00. > :24:10.lost contact of the ball and it propelled forward. Lee Briers going
:24:10. > :24:17.in. Massive decision. Imagine if that was a penalty! You have to love
:24:17. > :24:24.Huddersfield for hanging in at the moment. They are not going away.
:24:24. > :24:27.Less than seven minutes remaining. Two points the difference.
:24:27. > :24:29.Huddersfield hitting back. Warrington really need to score
:24:29. > :24:51.again to clinch this match. We'll Lee Briers go for a drop goal?
:24:51. > :25:09.Could be worth it. Moving towards the post.
:25:09. > :25:21.He is over! And Simon Grix has scored! Huddersfield committed the
:25:21. > :25:29.gravest error you can commit in rugby and that is to let the ball
:25:29. > :25:37.bounce. It bounced the wrong way. And Simon Grix has scored. This
:25:37. > :25:41.could be the match clincher. We have harped on all game about how
:25:41. > :25:47.important kicking is, but just as important is the kick chase. He can
:25:47. > :25:52.see where the fullback is, but the Huddersfield team lets it bounce.
:25:52. > :25:56.With people around, Warrington seize the opportunity. Nobody attempts to
:25:56. > :26:02.go for it because they are jostling around each other. The ball is
:26:02. > :26:07.propelled back across the face of the defence. Four outside backs not
:26:07. > :26:14.prepared to put their hand up. Are they looking for offside? He is way
:26:14. > :26:19.onside. Simon Grix goes on and scores. Warrington will be at Old
:26:19. > :26:25.Trafford next week for the Grand Final. A good score of 30 points to
:26:25. > :26:32.22 here tonight. Happy with that result? No doubt. Yes, we are happy
:26:32. > :26:36.with the result. It was a tough, hard fought game and Huddersfield
:26:36. > :26:40.certainly had their say in the match. I thought we were a bit off
:26:40. > :26:55.in some areas and I thought we were trying really hard to early to win a
:26:55. > :26:59.game, rather than just build a game. We will rusty in some areas but that
:26:59. > :27:02.is the way it goes. The effort has been there all year and the day
:27:02. > :27:04.again and this has been great and we have a group of disappointed players
:27:04. > :27:14.because they wanted to go to the Grand Final. -- the togetherness has
:27:15. > :27:19.been great. We have to take it on the chin and hope the referee sticks
:27:20. > :27:28.to his convictions. That is not why we lost. When you lose, you always
:27:28. > :27:32.look at one thing. It was a nailbiter, that when Simon Grix went
:27:32. > :27:37.over, we knew we had finally got there. It was a great feeling when
:27:38. > :27:47.the final whistle went. Really pleased for the boys. A win for you
:27:47. > :27:53.and Arab rubble -- a memorable night, but you will be moving on to
:27:53. > :27:57.Salford. Yes, this club has been fantastic for me and it has been a
:27:57. > :28:02.big part of my life and it will remain so. Especially emotional. My
:28:02. > :28:09.little kids were mascots today and it is lovely that the fans gave us a
:28:09. > :28:13.great farewell. But everything comes to an end and thankfully I won my
:28:13. > :28:17.last game for the Warrington Wolves. There is one more game in me and we
:28:17. > :28:24.will see how I go next week. So no real complaints about the result?
:28:24. > :28:27.No. It is not nice when you are in that situation and they will be
:28:27. > :28:31.disappointed as to how they have played compared to how they have
:28:31. > :28:37.been playing but semifinal games can do that to you. Warrington said they
:28:37. > :28:43.had to step up another gear for the final. I think they have that in
:28:43. > :28:46.them. They have got there and they were delighted. They will probably
:28:46. > :28:50.have to play a little bit better than they did on the evening but
:28:50. > :28:55.they are there and they can talk about that kind of thing. Great for
:28:55. > :29:01.Adrian Morley to bow out and come to you after the Grand Final. He has
:29:01. > :29:05.been awesome. A fine man and a fine leader and he has played so well
:29:05. > :29:10.this season. We are looking forward to next year but it is important to
:29:10. > :29:47.finish this year. What will be the key battle looking ahead?
:29:47. > :29:55.I like the way they went about their business. They fell off the
:29:55. > :29:59.radar and now they are back. It will excite them to do the double.
:29:59. > :30:08.We have an unbelievable game coming up to decide which way it will go.
:30:08. > :30:11.And emotional game. They have to be careful about that. It has not to
:30:11. > :30:18.be the emotion. There is a game to careful about that. It has not to
:30:18. > :30:24.be played. It will be more emotional if you can get on the
:30:24. > :30:28.right side of it. Wigan against Leeds. They hatch to overcome
:30:28. > :30:38.Huddersfield to book their place -- they had to. The last home game for
:30:38. > :30:47.Sam Tomkins, Richards and Lee Mossop. It makes it special. Leeds
:30:47. > :30:51.showed their pedigree. The victory against St Helens coming courtesy
:30:51. > :30:58.of Danny McGuire. They go to Old Trafford. Their third successive
:30:58. > :31:05.Grand Final appearance. They are one game away from an Old
:31:05. > :31:10.Trafford return. The side that knows how to get to a Grand Final
:31:11. > :31:19.better than anyone else. For his final home appearance, Richards
:31:19. > :31:26.leads out the Wigan side. They have the Challenge Cup trophy. A double
:31:26. > :31:33.is within their sights. Sam Tomkins will make his final appearance
:31:33. > :31:38.tonight after his publicised move to the New Zealand Warriors was
:31:38. > :31:46.finally confirmed. Pat Richards and Lee Mossop also making their final
:31:46. > :31:56.bows. Jones-Buchanan survives an injury scare to play.
:31:56. > :32:04.This has the promise and potential to be as good as any game we have
:32:04. > :32:11.seen so far this season. Rugby league heavyweights going head to
:32:11. > :32:15.head with a Grand Final at stake. There are good players out there.
:32:15. > :32:29.Let's hope that we see the best of everybody and if we do, we are in
:32:29. > :32:34.for a cracker. Leeds turning up the heat in defence in the early stages.
:32:34. > :32:49.Keeping up the progress of Wigan to a minimum. This is a good defensive
:32:49. > :32:53.start from Leeds. That was the sixth tackle. Tomkins cannot
:32:53. > :32:58.start from Leeds. That was the away and there is a knock-on from
:32:58. > :33:08.Harrison Hansen, I think. Wigan under pressure. Joel Moon with the
:33:08. > :33:22.steel. Wigan's defences relatively fresh, but they are being tested.
:33:22. > :33:32.Kallum Watkins put the footwork on. Joe's bishop for the corner. It
:33:32. > :33:37.looks like he might have bounced it -- Ben Jones-Bishop. He does not
:33:37. > :33:44.look confident. Will he go for the video referee? It is clearly not a
:33:44. > :33:51.try. I think the referee was confident about that from the start.
:33:51. > :34:01.It is a question of the restart. What a start from the point of view
:34:01. > :34:03.of Leeds. It is important for the Wigan team to look to start
:34:03. > :34:37.stronger. The Leeds defence pushing. There
:34:37. > :34:43.handling was good from Wigan will - - Wigan. That was really smart and
:34:43. > :34:54.efficient handling work by the Wigan back line. Iain Thornley open
:34:54. > :34:58.-- over in the early stages. This is how to finish the play. The
:34:58. > :35:09.Leeds team took the risk, trying to put the fire out. In Thornley, but
:35:09. > :35:15.the catch from the inside. Kevin Sinfield and Danny McGuire were
:35:15. > :35:20.trying to put the fire out. That is his 13th of the season. Pat
:35:20. > :35:30.Richards closing in. On a century of goals this year. 93 so far. And
:35:30. > :35:37.he hit that superbly. A perfect start for Wigan. 6-0. The scale of
:35:38. > :35:41.the finish was there to see. The ball bounced out to Pat Richards.
:35:41. > :35:51.Iain Thornley had to be there on the inside to finish the play.
:35:51. > :35:53.There is so much being asked of the physicality of both sides. They are
:35:53. > :36:12.testing each other. Good defending from Zak Hardaker to
:36:12. > :36:15.fill the gap. If Harrison Hansen had done what he intended to do...
:36:15. > :36:38.Leeds habit. -- have it. What a break. And they have another
:36:38. > :36:54.six tackles. Was that stolen? It is not.
:36:54. > :37:04.I am thinking, zero on the 30 metres. Disappointing play from the
:37:04. > :37:24.point of view of Leeds. Two tackles from Matty Smith,
:37:24. > :37:27.lifting his defence to help the forwards. And he was involved in a
:37:27. > :37:48.third. Rob Burrow was allowed to play on.
:37:48. > :38:11.Despite the attempts of Blake Green. Wigan with a chance. Superb pace
:38:11. > :38:13.shown by Richards. He passed just about all of them, but at the last
:38:13. > :38:25.gap, -- gasp, a heroic tackle. They have plenty of tackles. Again,
:38:25. > :38:43.the defence is good from Leeds. They went the length of the field
:38:43. > :39:05.almost. Blake Green was aiming for the
:39:05. > :39:10.sticks and missed them by a distance. I am amazed when Pat
:39:10. > :39:17.Richards gets the ball, every day of the week, as could a pass as he
:39:17. > :39:23.will get. Where does Kirke come from? There he was. They have
:39:23. > :39:27.played each other three times in Super League this season. All of
:39:27. > :39:39.them have been cracking games with Leeds winning the latest, 20-six.
:39:39. > :40:14.Also at the Headingley game 18-14 - - 18-14.
:40:14. > :40:26.Carl Ablett created, but a stunning finish by Joel Moon. Leeds, right
:40:26. > :40:31.back in the game. This is unbelievable. Ablett had no right
:40:31. > :40:36.to make any break but he beat two Wigan defenders. Joel Moon did not
:40:36. > :40:41.know which side. He finishes the play, which is a terrific and
:40:41. > :40:48.unbelievable play from the Leeds team, who had looked down and out.
:40:48. > :41:02.He beat Harrison Hansen Anne Smith. He keeps going. -- and Smith.
:41:02. > :41:16.That his goal 98 for the season. Leeds all square again asked, 6-6.
:41:16. > :41:27.-- again, It is all about Joel Moon and how
:41:27. > :41:50.he timed the run. And how he finished the play.
:41:50. > :41:55.They possibly needed a quicker player than Ben Flower on the
:41:55. > :42:34.outside with that opportunity. Farrell has found the gap and
:42:34. > :42:42.scoreline! We can think they have a second. The referee is not so sure.
:42:42. > :42:46.There must be a case for a potential obstruction. He has
:42:46. > :42:53.granted it, there is no problem potential obstruction. He has
:42:53. > :42:57.with that. It is a try. A second for Wigan. They lost the lead
:42:57. > :43:13.temporarily. They have it back again. Achurch, putting them under
:43:13. > :43:28.pressure. Blake Green gets the opportunity to go into the line. He
:43:28. > :43:30.goes between the two defenders. Pat Richards to extend the lead back to
:43:30. > :43:39.six and he was never likely to miss. Richards to extend the lead back to
:43:39. > :43:44.12-6, Wigan lead. We can see the finish. Blake Green was the
:43:44. > :44:01.architect in chief. He went into the Leeds line.
:44:01. > :44:11.That was a good effort in defence. Like an axe, chopping down Darrell
:44:11. > :44:26.Goulding. The it was a good effort because he was on his own.
:44:26. > :44:38.That was a great catch, from Jones- Bishop. Knock-on from Kallum
:44:38. > :44:45.Watkins and an apology to team- mates because he knows he has given
:44:45. > :44:47.them a tough few minutes to handle. Brian McDermott knows that this
:44:47. > :45:04.them a tough few minutes to handle. could be a big set of six.
:45:04. > :45:10.Here away, eagerly but just
:45:10. > :45:21.desperately the Leeds players in defence.
:45:21. > :45:26.desperately the Leeds players in the crucial challenge.
:45:26. > :46:08.the rugby gods deserted Leeds? Here we see Kallum Watkins at his own end
:46:09. > :46:12.of the field putting his team under pressure. That kick from Smith.
:46:12. > :46:18.of the field putting his team under can't quite believe it and they
:46:18. > :46:27.score. Two, back-to-back. They desperately look on as Darrell
:46:27. > :46:32.Goulding plans the ball down. Going through the routine that they have
:46:32. > :46:40.gone through hundreds of times before. He has done it! Don't write
:46:40. > :46:46.off leads just yet. It is too soon for that. But in the context of the
:46:46. > :46:52.ferocious intensity of this game, that is a big score. He can't quite
:46:52. > :46:59.ferocious intensity of this game, gather it up. He is not long or
:46:59. > :47:03.sticky enough. We have talked about the resilience of this Leeds team
:47:03. > :47:05.and they will not give up, but the Wigan defence of line has been
:47:05. > :47:20.particularly impressive tonight as well. -- defensive line. Look at
:47:20. > :47:28.that! Racing away. He looks up the inside. In and out of Tompkins. Now
:47:28. > :47:41.for the corner. What a tackle by Harrison Hansen. He was enormous.
:47:41. > :47:48.And he can't believe it because he has just had glory ripped out of his
:47:48. > :47:52.fingertips. Joel Moon was away. He had nothing on and then suddenly
:47:52. > :48:01.everything on. Harrison Hansen comes from nowhere. I think the referee
:48:01. > :48:07.has changed his initial decision here. There is an argument going
:48:08. > :48:11.on. The referee has been called in to make this very important
:48:11. > :48:17.decision. Harrison Hansen knocks the ball out of his hands, surely? They
:48:17. > :48:28.came away from the scrum with the ball.
:48:28. > :48:53.Logan Tomkins. A chance to take the ball and he does! Leaves hanging
:48:53. > :48:58.on. A charge to the line by Flower. Leaves clinging on here. Knowing
:48:59. > :49:13.they simply cannot afford to concede another try. -- Leeds clinging on.
:49:13. > :49:23.Smith makes the tackle. We have seen some incredible defence here
:49:23. > :49:32.tonight. Wigan should have scored. The blue and yellows have been
:49:32. > :49:37.unbelievable. Leeds's crown is slipping but it is not dislodged
:49:37. > :49:42.totally yet. Another Wigan try would see to that. Leeds's determination
:49:42. > :50:06.in defence is heroic at the moment. At first he was looking for the
:50:06. > :50:15.kick. He off-loaded. That trial by Josh Charnley with some certainty
:50:15. > :50:19.will have won it for Wigan. Leeds's glory as champions is surely over.
:50:19. > :50:30.Wigan take the step towards the season double. Leeds scrambling to
:50:30. > :50:36.get there. Out to Josh Charnley and he will not be beaten. He slides
:50:36. > :50:41.into school. He can't get to Smith. He obeys the clutches of Kevin
:50:42. > :50:48.Sinfield as well. Josh Charnley has the easy bit to do. It looks like
:50:48. > :51:07.game over from there. Josh Charnley's 42nd try of the season.
:51:07. > :51:20.They will not go down without fight. That was a try of real
:51:20. > :51:25.quality and what a beauty, too. In all likelihood it will not be
:51:25. > :51:32.anywhere near enough. Danny McGuire got to the line. A terrific kit. The
:51:32. > :51:45.conversion has already been taken at the end of that play. It is not
:51:45. > :51:51.going to work. No time to waste, so the drop kick conversion. 22-12.
:51:51. > :51:56.They handshakes of congratulations among the coaching staff at Wigan.
:51:56. > :52:01.Brian McDermott surely knows now that it is not going to be a third
:52:01. > :52:14.Grand Final appearance for him this year.
:52:14. > :52:24.Sam Tomkins putting his foot down, getting off-line.
:52:24. > :52:33.This is Matty Smith in the final seven seconds. Logan Tomkins picks
:52:33. > :52:47.it up. Wrapped up by defenders and that will be that. It is Wigan and
:52:47. > :52:52.Old Trafford. Leeds's reign is over. It will be the cherry and whites
:52:52. > :52:57.against Warrington in the Grand Final in a week's time. A mighty,
:52:58. > :53:05.mighty effort by both these sides tonight, but it is Wigan who come
:53:05. > :53:11.out on top. How special to bow out in front of your fans as take them
:53:11. > :53:14.to a Grand Final? It is very special. All week we have spoken
:53:14. > :53:18.about how important this game was and we did not want it to be our
:53:18. > :53:21.last game and we made sure it was not. A very special night for you
:53:21. > :53:30.last game and we made sure it was and the players. A great experience.
:53:30. > :53:34.And please for the players that are leaving. What Pat has done for the
:53:34. > :53:40.club, to get us into the final, we need to improve for next week a
:53:40. > :53:46.little bit as well. A tough week with injuries. Was that one game too
:53:46. > :53:53.far? Maybe. It is the same team that has put in a real big effort. We had
:53:53. > :53:58.the firepower out there to be better than we were. But credit to Wigan,
:53:58. > :54:03.they had a fair amount of intent defensively. They did more with the
:54:03. > :54:08.ball than we did. It was just not our night, unfortunately. Sometimes
:54:08. > :54:12.you can over try, which we started doing. I never felt we were
:54:12. > :54:17.comfortable because of Kevin Sinfield, Jamie Peacock, that really
:54:17. > :54:24.talented team. We defended well and I am happy with the result today.
:54:24. > :54:28.How emotional has tonight been for you? Very. It was strange to know it
:54:28. > :54:30.would be the last time I'll played in a Wigan jersey on this pitch and
:54:30. > :54:36.it is not a nice feeling. A script in a Wigan jersey on this pitch and
:54:36. > :54:43.writer would have you bowing out of Old Trafford in that Wigan shirt.
:54:43. > :54:48.Yes. It is unbelievable. You could do the double. Yes. Work to do.
:54:49. > :54:50.Warrington will be tough. That week off did not help. We were a little
:54:50. > :55:01.bit under done great next week. That was tough. It
:55:01. > :55:04.was a brutal game. World-class rugby league in its purest form. Wigan
:55:04. > :55:20.was a brutal game. World-class rugby probably deserved to win it.
:55:20. > :55:25.was a brutal game. World-class rugby performances, they just had a little
:55:25. > :55:31.bit more juice. What about this decision? Was the ball locked out of
:55:31. > :55:36.his hands or was it a tackle? -- knocked out. I thought it was and
:55:36. > :55:41.the officials adjudicated that the defender had not played the ball and
:55:41. > :55:45.it was part of the tackle. I think we are all allowed our opinions. It
:55:45. > :55:50.might have been a different story otherwise. But taking nothing away
:55:50. > :55:54.from Wigan because they deserve to be in the final. And to beat Leeds
:55:54. > :55:59.mentally is quite an effort. It be in the final. And to beat Leeds
:55:59. > :56:04.shows how tough Wigan are. That was a brutal game. To all our viewers
:56:04. > :56:10.watching this, it was physical and intense with great skill levels and
:56:10. > :56:15.Wigan deserved to win it. Toby Smith probably enjoyed watching it. He
:56:15. > :56:20.will know the measure of the task. It is a different ball game next
:56:20. > :56:42.week, the Grand Final. Two very good teams. Lancashire final. Warrington
:56:42. > :56:45.and Wigan have lots of history as. Watch out. Sean Wayne said after the
:56:45. > :56:47.game that the week off had not done them any good and they were
:56:47. > :56:50.undercooked. Yes, is all the comments about not being as slick as
:56:50. > :56:51.they normally are. Give credit to Leeds, they came out with that ploy
:56:51. > :56:54.they normally are. Give credit to to stop the Wigan structure. There
:56:54. > :56:56.were some ricochets for some of the scoring. But Wigan looked fresher
:56:56. > :56:59.and slicker. They will be better next week. It was an emotional night
:57:00. > :57:03.with two players saying goodbye. They have done a brilliant job and
:57:03. > :57:07.they deserve all the plaudits that people can give them because it has
:57:07. > :57:11.been good service from them. So Warrington against Wigan in the
:57:11. > :57:16.Grand Final. We will have highlights next Sunday on BBC Two from five
:57:16. > :57:20.o'clock. How many of those players will be taking part in the Rugby
:57:20. > :57:25.league World Cup? We have live coverage of all of the England games
:57:25. > :57:38.right here. It all kicks off on the 26th of October with a
:57:38. > :57:39.double-header, Australia and England, and Wales and Italy. Before
:57:39. > :57:41.double-header, Australia and that, the world gymnastic
:57:41. > :57:43.Championships are taking place in Belgium. Best Weddle and Will Smith
:57:43. > :57:46.will give as coverage across all platforms starting on Thursday
:57:46. > :57:52.evening. Warrington against Wigan, who do you fancy? Don't ask me to
:57:52. > :57:55.call that! Two great teams. I hope we will see the physical side of it
:57:55. > :57:59.and they will definitely play football. I don't think we could
:57:59. > :58:05.have asked for a better final line-up, with all due respect. I
:58:05. > :58:09.think they have the right stage next week. Warrington will want to put
:58:09. > :58:15.right some of the rungs of last year. It is great having some close
:58:15. > :58:20.and tough games in the play-offs. We have the great spectacles that we
:58:20. > :58:26.have seen and next week will be just have the great spectacles that we
:58:26. > :58:30.as good. So we have a Grand Final without the Leeds Rhinos. Will they
:58:30. > :58:37.be making room in the trophy cabinet and Wigan or will Warrington deny
:58:37. > :58:40.them? -- at Wigan.
