:00:08. > :00:26.I Beautiful play! They're on top now, no doubt. Magnificent stuff. A
:00:26. > :00:42.third effort there. Charlie scoots away, an absolutely fabulous try!
:00:42. > :00:58.Warrington Wolves versus Wigan Warriors. The Challenge Cup winners,
:00:58. > :01:06.the Wigan wor yors. -- Wigan warriers. Warrington are looking for
:01:06. > :01:12.a double, their own. Wigan and Warrington's ways to this final
:01:12. > :01:15.mirror images of each other. The warriors beat Huddersfield. What a
:01:15. > :01:24.mirror images of each other. The great try! The Wolves beat
:01:24. > :01:29.Huddersfield. Tears all around for Huddersfield. Wigan beat Leeds.
:01:29. > :01:41.Surely to win it for Wigan. It is the try that takes them there.
:01:41. > :01:48.Warrington beat Leeds. A try! Number for for Westwood. What a day he is
:01:48. > :01:54.having and what a day Warrington are having. Warringtons have Wigan. Who
:01:54. > :02:02.will reflect on a famous victory, whose dreams will be shattered? The
:02:02. > :02:10.last time these met here was in 1987 for the old Premiership final chl
:02:10. > :02:17.Wigan one 8-0. Three years later they met in the Challenge Cup, the
:02:17. > :02:23.last major final they contested. That is a bad one. He can go the
:02:23. > :02:41.full length of the field. That is a try and a half. Mark Preston! And
:02:41. > :02:47.there is a try! Edwards! A magnificent tackle, but Preston's
:02:47. > :02:58.in. One of the great tries here at Wembley. Oh, a beautiful overhead
:02:58. > :03:04.pass to Hadley. A record-breaking third consecutive Challenge Cup. So
:03:04. > :03:10.at the end of the regular season, which started some eight months ago,
:03:10. > :03:14.this is how it panned out. Warrington finished second, one
:03:14. > :03:24.point behind Huddersfield who, they beat in the semi final last week. It
:03:24. > :03:32.gives the Wolves a chance to aven last year's defeat to Leeds. And
:03:32. > :03:36.Wigan's prospects looked slim a few weeks ago, but a disciplined
:03:36. > :03:41.performance against Leeds means they are only 80 minutes from that rare
:03:41. > :03:50.double. I am joined by two men who know a thing about winning the
:03:50. > :03:54.final. Brian, let's look back on last week's secondy finals. -- semi
:03:55. > :04:00.finals. Both coaches said they needed to step up. The Wigan/Leeds
:04:00. > :04:04.game was brutal. Warrington will look to execute better. They created
:04:04. > :04:07.game was brutal. Warrington will some chances and probably should
:04:07. > :04:13.have put one or two away. The second game, that was a really physical
:04:13. > :04:20.game. Wigan defended well and you have to say they got the juice out
:04:20. > :04:24.of Leeds before. They say you have to lose a Grand Final perfect you
:04:24. > :04:30.win one. Warrington lost last year. How much will that help them? What
:04:30. > :04:33.it does Is last year they have gone through the pain, but they have had
:04:33. > :04:37.to wait 12 months to come back. It gives you confidence and experience
:04:37. > :04:45.and you only have to look at this atmosphere, it can take energy out
:04:45. > :04:52.of you earl y. I don't they they're worried that they have to lose one
:04:52. > :04:58.to win one. Are you surprised Trent Waterhouse is not in the side. I
:04:58. > :05:04.heard a whisper. It is not a shock to me. It is a big loss. He is a
:05:04. > :05:09.great player. But they have a good squad, Warrington and they will know
:05:09. > :05:18.how to combine the different that tents -- talents to preplace him. A
:05:18. > :05:23.lot of the players are leaving, Carvell and Morley and others. Is
:05:23. > :05:29.this the last chance for the players. They have put a good squad
:05:29. > :05:32.together and the last game, the bench helped them. You're right,
:05:32. > :05:39.they have a lot of experienced players and they have more players
:05:39. > :05:43.over the age of 30. This is probably their time. But you only get 80
:05:43. > :05:46.minutes to test that. I believe that they have had a better preparation
:05:46. > :05:51.and they haven't had the Challenge Cup to worry about and they can time
:05:51. > :06:00.their run. Waterhouse is a loss, but they come in with good form and they
:06:00. > :06:04.have won 13 of their lavs 14 -- last 14 games. Wigan have players leaving
:06:04. > :06:17.as well, including Sam Tompkins. This is a good run from Sam
:06:18. > :06:26.Tompkins. Here he goes. Wigan look to strike again. Sam Tompkins
:06:26. > :06:39.somehow finding a way through. Here he goes - there he goes! Sam
:06:39. > :06:43.Tompkins, the genius! So how important for Warrington will it be
:06:43. > :06:49.to keep Tompkins quiet? Its important, because he is not only
:06:49. > :06:55.the best player in Super League, he has skill and his ability to run at
:06:55. > :06:59.top speed. We look at it all the time in Grand Finals and the
:06:59. > :07:03.forwards create the momentum. They have got the win the ruck to get you
:07:03. > :07:08.time to get the ball out to Tompkins. He needs time and space.
:07:08. > :07:13.If you give him #2350i78 and space -- if you give him time and space,
:07:13. > :07:22.he will kill you. He is their main danger. Looking at the selection for
:07:22. > :07:36.Wigan. No Logan Tompkins on the bench? It is a brave move, love
:07:36. > :07:43.Lynne hasn't -- love Lynne -- they have added some football around
:07:43. > :07:49.there. McIlorum can play 80 minutes. Who do you think will win? I think
:07:49. > :07:56.Warrington have the forwards to win it. And they have the better bench.
:07:56. > :08:01.I think it is evening out. Just Warrington. We will see if they're
:08:01. > :08:10.right. With your commentators Jonathan Davies and Dave Woods. It
:08:10. > :08:17.is only an 11th Cup Final meeting ever between two of the most famous
:08:17. > :08:23.names in Rugby League. And it could be a farewell to a posse of players.
:08:23. > :08:30.Under the flood lights at Old Trafford, this is an electrifying
:08:30. > :08:39.atmosphere. What a night and what an occasion. The Grand Final 20 13. So
:08:39. > :08:44.let's have a look at the way they line up tonight. Warrington's second
:08:44. > :08:51.row, Trent Waterhouse failed to shake off an injury and Wolves have
:08:51. > :08:59.three players playing their final game for the club and they're all on
:08:59. > :09:04.the bench. Plenty of emotion for a Wigan side who have also three
:09:04. > :09:18.making their final appearance - Tom Kinnels, Richards and Mossom all
:09:18. > :09:28.heading to the NRL. -- Tompkins. Gamble or not, the next if the 80
:09:28. > :09:36.minutes will tell us. And our referee is Richard Silverwood. A
:09:36. > :09:42.fantastic evening. Perfect for lug -- rugby. It is so tough to call.
:09:42. > :09:45.The mood is it could be one of more memorable Grand Finals. We shall
:09:45. > :09:48.see. Jonathan, Davies, how do you see this one? It is a difficult one
:09:48. > :09:53.to call. You know bookies have got see this one? It is a difficult one
:09:53. > :10:00.the Warrington Wolves favourites, but is that on the back of the Wigan
:10:00. > :10:05.Warriors form after the Challenge Cup, which didn't mean anything?
:10:05. > :10:10.This is all on the day. It is a tough one to call. If anything, I
:10:10. > :10:14.just might favour Warrington, because they might have more
:10:14. > :10:19.attacking options. That is about it. But they have got to close this man
:10:19. > :10:24.down, straightaway. He is given plenty of room to run. He said he
:10:24. > :10:28.will bottle up the emotions before the game. He is in good company in
:10:28. > :10:32.terms of having plenty of emotions the game. He is in good company in
:10:32. > :10:34.to spare at the end. But you have to keep your mind on the game and not
:10:34. > :10:43.the occasion. Warrington haven't won the league
:10:43. > :10:48.title since 1955. Wigan looking for the double here tonight, the first
:10:48. > :11:01.time they will have achieved that in the modern era in the Super League
:11:01. > :11:12.eRSPCA so -- in the Super League era. How much is it a gamble the
:11:12. > :11:19.selection? Only the management knows how fit Loughlin is. A fumble from
:11:19. > :11:24.Ratchford, but he managed to regather. Talk about Grand Final
:11:24. > :11:28.nerves. I think there is a Wigan player down. I am not sure who it
:11:28. > :11:34.is. It is very difficult to see. He has not moved. The referee will stop
:11:35. > :11:40.the game, because that player is about to get involved in the action.
:11:40. > :11:49.I think it is Blake Green. Yes I think it is. He has been caught
:11:49. > :11:53.around the face. Yes. Ooh, Ben Westwood swinging the arm. That is a
:11:53. > :12:00.punch to the face and if the refer Yveses had seen that -- refer Reeses
:12:00. > :12:05.had seen -- referees had seen that it would be a sending off. They're
:12:05. > :12:10.making sure he is OK. Looking at what response they can get to make
:12:10. > :12:14.sure whether he is fit to continue. Having needed oxygen he is on his
:12:14. > :12:20.feet. All the crowd will have seen that on the big screen. And the
:12:20. > :12:31.referee now is going to put this on report I think. He is calling ought
:12:31. > :12:36.Loughlin and Briers. I have not seen anything on the tackle. He is going
:12:36. > :12:40.on report. He is on report and the disciplinary panel will have a look
:12:40. > :12:44.at that. He is looking bemused and innocent, but the pictures would
:12:44. > :13:22.suggest otherwise. Hill put the foot down. A head down
:13:22. > :13:29.and towards the line. The Wigan defence Bismarck to that. The ball
:13:29. > :13:37.goes back 10 metres. -- is a smart to that.
:13:37. > :13:47.That was a good kick. It very nearly produced the goods. It is a
:13:47. > :13:54.great battle. Two Australian wingers. Another shallow kick. They
:13:54. > :14:02.both went for it. You think he has got it. It went through his grasp.
:14:02. > :14:13.Who does it come off? It is a knock on. I am not sure. I am not sure.
:14:13. > :14:18.That is a very tough call. They went to the video referee and he
:14:18. > :14:26.has decided it was, as the referee originally called it, a 20 metre
:14:26. > :14:30.restart. It is the turn of Wigan to survive. Sean O' Loughlin gives
:14:30. > :14:39.them so much down the middle. He gives them balance. He is a skill
:14:39. > :14:49.for back as well. Here is Richards. -- SkillForce. He has lost it. A
:14:49. > :14:56.penalty for Wigan. Five metres inside the Warrington half.
:14:56. > :15:18.They are going to go for golf. -- goal. Wigan lead by two points to 0
:15:18. > :15:24.with over 10 minutes played. That footwork was so good. Almost
:15:24. > :15:38.make the break as well. That was not good from Lee Briers.
:15:38. > :15:44.He put it straight into the arms of Pat Richards.
:15:44. > :15:53.Chris Hill is very tired. I think he will be coming off. He has given
:15:53. > :16:00.it everything in the first 18 minutes. That was a great tackle.
:16:00. > :16:14.Warrington have been making a habit this season of making three into --
:16:14. > :16:20.interchanges at a time. Two are on the touch-line. Wigan are still
:16:20. > :16:32.leading by two points. If he had picked it up cleanly,
:16:32. > :16:35.there might have been a chance. He has given a penalty away. The
:16:35. > :17:06.referee decided the tackle was That was a penalty. A great
:17:06. > :17:08.opportunity for Warrington. It is the first of what will be many
:17:08. > :17:36.crushing tries for They have still got another couple
:17:36. > :17:44.of tackles to have a go. He was through one tackle. Plenty of
:17:44. > :17:55.reinforcements. Back it comes to Briers again. Up they get up!
:17:55. > :17:58.Monahan has taken it will -- taken it. It is
:17:58. > :18:10.game. Joel Monaghan has come up big and Warrington have the lead. This
:18:10. > :18:23.is the penalty. This is the first decision with one market to play
:18:23. > :18:31.the ball. This kick... He goes in again. It is absolutely magnificent.
:18:31. > :18:39.Only one marker. He set it up for the kick. From this kick, just
:18:39. > :18:47.watch! It is all about Joel Monaghan and his magnificent timing.
:18:47. > :19:00.He knew he cannot get it with two hands. One hand, at magnificent!
:19:00. > :19:14.That was typed up the touch-line but he just showed the upright on
:19:14. > :19:19.the wrong side. -- -- shaved the upright. I was in the same team as
:19:19. > :19:32.Martin Offiah. He put it straight out on the fall.
:19:32. > :19:41.A penalty for Warrington on the halfway line. And as you said, that
:19:41. > :19:47.was very short. He was away it over it. He did not have to catch it. In
:19:47. > :19:52.the Challenge Cup, he put it straight out of play. In the Grand
:19:52. > :19:56.Final with the first restart for the try, it went straight back to
:19:56. > :20:13.Warrington. A very big advantage. They have managed to drive a
:20:13. > :20:20.within about 15 metres. -- drive it in. A very famous story he had to
:20:20. > :20:26.tell after last year when he lost a testicle in a game.
:20:26. > :20:38.Step back on the inside from Ryan at King's. Warrington and its stall
:20:38. > :20:49.warts going back to back. -- stalwarts. A try! Simon Grix has
:20:49. > :20:57.got himself over. Warrington have their second. In the blink of an
:20:57. > :21:06.eye. They have taken the opportunity. The excitement has
:21:06. > :21:15.been amazing. whatever he plays, he has an impact on the match. He
:21:15. > :21:23.accelerated through a gap. That was a great finisher from Simon Grix.
:21:23. > :21:31.That was a great angle. It came off his left foot. That was a great
:21:31. > :21:49.finish. He missed one from the right touch-
:21:49. > :21:59.line. He did not miss that one will start Warrington lead by 10 points
:21:59. > :22:03.to two. -- that one. Two tries in about three minutes have set a
:22:03. > :22:05.platform for Warrington. Can they built from it? They are looking to
:22:05. > :22:11.strike again just as quickly. Down the left-hand side. It was
:22:11. > :22:21.sent skywards again. It has bounced Down the left-hand side. It was
:22:21. > :22:28.off his shoulder. It might have gone forward. Warrington get it
:22:28. > :22:38.back anyway. They could have taken a risk but decided against that.
:22:38. > :22:43.Here they go. Another six to go. A big centre six from Wigan now. They
:22:43. > :22:45.cannot afford to have three tries against them in a short space of
:22:45. > :23:00.time. Out comes the defence to meet and
:23:00. > :23:11.greet. A good effort! Cooper! They have done their job again. That was
:23:11. > :23:19.thrown a wave. They had the numbers. -- away. Three tries for Warrington.
:23:19. > :23:24.The Grand Final is moving their way inexorably. Somehow we again have
:23:24. > :23:29.to stop this tie, which is all primrose and blue. He went high and
:23:29. > :23:36.tried to take it will start that is primrose and blue. He went high and
:23:36. > :23:48.when they had the ball back. -- take it. Just watch the gap! They
:23:48. > :23:54.could not be close it down. -- could not close it down. That was a
:23:54. > :24:01.great finish. He started down the right touch-line and missed the did
:24:01. > :24:09.he went to the left and kicked. He has put it over. Warrington lead by
:24:09. > :24:21.16 points to two. The last time we been touched the ball, they when
:24:21. > :24:33.leading two to nil. That was what we again needed Bulls doubly
:24:33. > :24:39.awkward bounce, the fumble and the drop. -- Wigan needed. They expect
:24:39. > :24:45.him to do it all day. Something different catches him out.
:24:45. > :24:52.On that occasion, it has turned up trumps for Wigan. They are the
:24:52. > :24:57.first side since conceding any of those three tries. They need to get
:24:57. > :25:03.themselves back into this contest as soon as possible.
:25:03. > :25:09.That was a driving effort from Flower again. They have turned the
:25:09. > :25:22.pace up very quickly. He put his head down. Look how many
:25:22. > :25:30.were across Beth! Simply smothered a wave from the goal line. That was
:25:30. > :25:39.great defence. -- away from the goal line. The scramble was good.
:25:39. > :25:47.Warrington with six to go. Here it is Atkins. Michael Monahan off the
:25:47. > :25:51.bench. Another penalty! Interference in the tackle. Penalty
:25:51. > :26:02.to Warrington 20 metres out. All the players were signalling to
:26:02. > :26:09.go for two. Tony Smith has said, we have got them on the back foot.
:26:09. > :26:15.Betts try and score another one. He is not a big believer in taking
:26:15. > :26:20.kicks for penalties. Kicks for golf. He would much rather run it on.
:26:20. > :26:29.Here they do run it on. Now they have an opportunity again. It is
:26:29. > :26:37.carried out of play. That was not clever. The intention was to go for
:26:37. > :26:43.the try. Beck is the long ball. He got on the outside. He was well
:26:43. > :26:48.marshalled. The best defender in the game, the touch-line. Over he
:26:48. > :27:02.goes. Wigan are a long way inside their
:27:02. > :27:10.own territory. Warrington have them exactly where they want them.
:27:10. > :27:52.Wigan were threatening to build the momentum.
:27:53. > :28:23.He knocked it on and Warrington survived. It does not look very
:28:23. > :28:29.confident in that defence. They are getting away with it. They are
:28:29. > :28:48.getting away with it. They created a two on one. He knows it. Not a
:28:48. > :28:51.happy man. . Richards off loads. Knock on. Wigan get another set and
:28:52. > :28:57.there is still another two and a half to the end of the half. Plenty
:28:57. > :29:07.of time. That is a great battle between the two Australian wingers.
:29:07. > :29:12.Monaghan looks in a bad way. He must have got his head on the wrong side.
:29:12. > :29:17.That is it. Watch where he gets his head, bang! Hit bone and you see he
:29:17. > :29:22.has gone straightaway. After a lengthy but necessary delay, as the
:29:22. > :29:28.medical staff make sure they get everything right before carrying
:29:28. > :29:32.Joel Monaghan away towards the dressing rooms for further
:29:32. > :29:37.treatment. It is an accidental blow to the head, but that doesn't make
:29:37. > :29:44.it any less painful and his absence for the rest of the game, which
:29:44. > :29:50.seems certain will be felt by Warrington. He is a huge attacking
:29:50. > :29:55.option, the kick to the corner. They have already scored one try from a
:29:55. > :30:00.magnificent take. After that very long delay, it is a question of who
:30:00. > :30:09.has got the concentration and who has kept the concentration. Wigan
:30:09. > :30:15.with an opportunitiment Tompkins and Goulding spins and scores the try
:30:16. > :30:27.that drags Wigan right back into the contest. Wigan seizing their moment
:30:27. > :30:32.and a Grand Final that slipping between their fingers is now back in
:30:32. > :30:35.their grasp - just about. Well they have threatened it and threatened
:30:35. > :30:40.it. It is the same play with the dummy run. The extra man from full
:30:40. > :30:44.back. Try and stop us if you can, that is what they're saying. They
:30:44. > :30:48.have the confidence and belief that they can score against anyone. They
:30:48. > :30:53.keep on trying it and picking the right man. They tried a few
:30:53. > :31:02.occasions, this time they're success. -- successful. Shaun Wane's
:31:02. > :31:09.body language suggests he is happier than he has been all night. Richards
:31:09. > :31:16.with a chance to narrow the gap further. His kicking seems to be a
:31:16. > :31:21.little off at the moment. But 16-6 the score.
:31:21. > :31:31.Morley crashing it forward again. Michael Monaghan's been given time
:31:32. > :31:36.to look around. He would have preferred that play quicker.
:31:36. > :31:45.Warrington inching closer and closer. That is tackle four. There
:31:45. > :31:55.is still a couple of tackles to go. Great tackle, Tompkins. There is
:31:55. > :32:01.still one to go. Farrell having taken it has to get out of tl and he
:32:01. > :32:05.-- out of there and he does. Well done Farrell. But he is driven back.
:32:05. > :32:08.Might have been tempted to leave that, but it was the safety first
:32:08. > :32:45.option. There is the little kick. Smith cease it charged down, but
:32:45. > :32:50.they pick it up again and they get another set. They get another six.
:32:50. > :32:57.What about that for a result for Wigan? That a bit of luck. Great
:32:57. > :33:04.chase. Two Warrington players are on a chase. The bounce favours Wigan
:33:04. > :33:10.and now the penalty, which will put the Wolves under pressure.
:33:10. > :33:19.Matty Smith will kick it away. What a difference from the charge down.
:33:19. > :33:22.Had that taken a difference bounce, Warrington might have been under the
:33:22. > :33:27.sticks. Now Wigan have the chance at the other end. Can they make the
:33:27. > :33:38.most of that lucky bounce? Great tackle Lee Briers. Read that
:33:38. > :34:06.so well. Warrington dealing with this
:34:06. > :34:13.defence so far. Up goes McIll Rop, who -- McIlorum and Wigan are right
:34:13. > :34:16.defence so far. Up goes McIll Rop, back in this final now. Their second
:34:16. > :34:19.try of the night and they're back within six points. From when they
:34:19. > :34:32.play the ball, away, Carvell. McIlorum, one marker,
:34:33. > :34:37.a simple try. But watch, he goes and Carvell's gone the other way and
:34:37. > :34:45.turned his back. And sudden think they have got reason -- and suddenly
:34:45. > :34:47.they have got reason to believe. Pat Richards won't miss this. Two out of
:34:47. > :34:52.three for him tonight and what a Richards won't miss this. Two out of
:34:52. > :35:08.change in the scoreline. Suddenly there is only four points in it.
:35:08. > :35:18.Back to basics now for Warrington. Momentum is with Wigan. Just take it
:35:18. > :35:25.up the middle and wait for the tackle. Just as... Oh! He might have
:35:25. > :35:30.got a foot stuck as the tackle was made there. It looked as though he
:35:30. > :35:37.jarred his foot in the ground. It looks nasty. Look at this, he came
:35:37. > :35:43.from the back, look. Oh, nasty. I don't like those tackles. Just
:35:43. > :35:51.watch, comes back. I don't think it was intentional maybe. He did catch
:35:51. > :35:59.him on the back of the hip. Latch ford being -- Ratchford being helped
:35:59. > :36:03.to the sidelines, so another concern for Warrington with Ratchford
:36:03. > :36:09.looking looking unlikely to return at this stage and makes the load
:36:09. > :36:18.heavier opt interchange -- on the interchange players, the foe wards.
:36:18. > :36:25.-- They have got to keep their
:36:25. > :36:31.discipline. Both sides have got to keep their discipline.
:36:31. > :37:07.Goulding will put the kick to the corner and Charnley scores for
:37:07. > :37:14.Wigan. They have turned it right around. Right around! Is he off
:37:14. > :37:18.side? A prolific finisher, like Charnley will be onside, let me tell
:37:18. > :37:24.you. I will be surprised if he is off side. They're going to the video
:37:24. > :37:31.referee to make absolutely certain. Goulding's kick. It is fight. -- it
:37:31. > :37:42.is tight. He is onside. Is he? Yes, he is on onside. At 2 in
:37:42. > :37:51.Warrington's favour -- at 16-2 in Warrington's favour, they looked
:37:51. > :37:56.down and out. But parity has been achieved. Just watch the kick. As
:37:56. > :38:01.the kick comes through, the kick is there, the full back is Riley, not
:38:01. > :38:07.Ratchford. Ratchford is off, of course. Just watch the bounce. They
:38:07. > :38:18.put it through the hands, the kick is on and then the bounce is
:38:18. > :38:23.important. It favours Wigan. A bit of Grand Final history could be
:38:23. > :38:28.made, no side has come from three scores down to win it. But now
:38:28. > :38:31.Richards' goal takes them back into the lead at 18-16. But there are
:38:31. > :38:44.still twists and turns to come. Warrington's injuries could be
:38:44. > :38:49.critical. They're missing two real strike players in Ratchford and
:38:49. > :39:10.Monaghan. T ball has been dropped, but the
:39:10. > :39:21.referee said it was stolen. So he will be called back and it is a
:39:21. > :39:32.penalty for Wigan. Let's have a look. Yes. Penalty, right decision,
:39:32. > :39:38.the hand goes in, that is a penalty. And again the kick will put them in
:39:38. > :39:50.a good position. Ratchford is back with us again. But
:39:50. > :39:57.whether he plays or not. Or whether he returns or not I should say,
:39:57. > :40:22.remains to be seen. I don't think so.
:40:22. > :40:33.Wigan going for the kill here. Green with the step and Green with the try
:40:33. > :40:38.that might just win it for Wigan. Plenty, plenty to go in this game.
:40:38. > :40:42.But the man who was floored in the opening two minutes might just have
:40:42. > :40:54.delivered a knockout blow to Warrington in return. One pass,
:40:54. > :41:02.throws the dummy. And he has gone through Morley's tackle. It is a
:41:02. > :41:10.high tackle. Green scores. And for once he gets off his seat with a
:41:10. > :41:16.smile on his face, Shaun Wane. Well Pat Richards puts this over and it
:41:16. > :41:22.is a two-score lead and he does put it over! And Wigan lead by 24-16.
:41:22. > :41:28.From somewhere Warrington have to find a couple of tries.
:41:28. > :41:38.They came here 12 monthsing a and -- 12 months ago and had the heart
:41:38. > :41:45.brake of losing to Leeds. They won't want to co-that -- do that again.
:41:45. > :41:50.That is a high tackle. The apology is offered. There is the high
:41:50. > :41:58.tackle. He had him around the neck. Well, it is a penalty whatever. So
:41:58. > :42:04.penalty for Warrington and a tap restart within sight of this Wigan
:42:04. > :42:12.line. Can they turn this tie? Got to score, I think.
:42:12. > :42:20.There was crossing. Crossing. Obstruction and a very cheap penalty
:42:20. > :42:25.given away and Warrington will be kicking themselves here. Just a lack
:42:25. > :42:32.of organisation. Just watch, he runs behind Paul Woods. That is a basic
:42:32. > :42:39.error. Just watch. He goes across, Carvell gets behind him, but Paul
:42:39. > :42:40.Wood runs in front of him and that is crossing. That was such a soft
:42:40. > :42:55.penalty to give away. I think that was a smile of
:42:55. > :43:16.recognition from Tony Smith. A try would be the icing on the
:43:16. > :43:23.cake for him. You cannot see a way back for Warrington at the moment.
:43:23. > :43:29.They are not making any inroads. Another six tackles for Warrington
:43:29. > :43:35.to defend. The aim must be close to breaking point. Wigan are looking
:43:35. > :44:15.to snap them. Over the top and Pat Richards will
:44:15. > :44:21.have a try on his last night in a Wigan colours. For all those in
:44:21. > :44:46.cherry and White, they could not have
:44:46. > :44:57.Richards cause. He took the ball to the line and looked up. -- scores.
:44:57. > :45:04.Wigan have been absolutely immense. What a comeback! What a comeback!
:45:04. > :45:13.The biggest grand final comeback of all time. 16-2 down. They conceded
:45:13. > :45:21.three back-to-back tries. It seemed improbable, bordering on impossible.
:45:21. > :45:28.In the end, they will win it with a canter. That try takes him to of
:45:28. > :45:34.147 in the Superleague and 5th in the all-time scorers.
:45:34. > :45:41.30 points to 16. You would have thought it would have been an easy
:45:41. > :45:51.night for Wigan. It has been anything but. Absolute confidence
:45:51. > :45:54.they have achieved the double this season. Not long before he takes up
:45:54. > :46:02.they have achieved the double this his Welsh duties.
:46:02. > :46:09.Blake Green has been awarded the man of the match here tonight - the
:46:09. > :46:15.Blake Green has been awarded the Wigan number six. That was a decent
:46:15. > :46:21.ball. Wigan have it back again. The domination is almost total. Their
:46:22. > :46:27.advantage has been played. The referee will take it back to wear
:46:27. > :46:33.that kick was kicked. They were on the advantage. These last five
:46:33. > :46:41.minutes of the game all seem irrelevant, don't they? Once you
:46:41. > :46:46.are so far in front, it is so nice just to be in this position. You
:46:46. > :46:50.have worked so hard. Just to relax, you know you have won it. A
:46:50. > :46:58.have worked so hard. Just to relax, fantastic effort the stock how
:46:58. > :47:05.critical are those two injuries? -- fantastic effort. Two key players
:47:05. > :47:12.on the back line. Hodgson has been out. He is a big player. Take
:47:12. > :47:15.nothing away from Wigan. They had been by far the better side in the
:47:15. > :47:26.second half and thoroughly deserved this win. Less than 30 seconds to
:47:26. > :47:32.go. It was safely gathered in. I do not think we will get to the drop
:47:32. > :47:38.out. We are into the final 10 pulls up here comes the can dam. Wigan
:47:38. > :47:51.fans enjoying this moment. -- the final 10. Here comes the Kuyt stamp.
:47:51. > :47:57.Within get the DUP Bob. -- the countdown. We then get the double.
:47:57. > :48:05.Warrington were in the ascendancy for most of the first half. What
:48:05. > :48:13.the second half by Wigan! They have made a bit of history. A fantastic
:48:13. > :48:23.effort. They won the Challenge Cup. The second half performance was
:48:23. > :48:29.immense. They pulled the strings. A fantastic effort which was
:48:29. > :48:36.thoroughly deserved. Wigan Warriors, Superleague champions. Mutual
:48:37. > :48:49.congratulations. Pat Richards, what a dream ending to his Wigan career.
:48:49. > :48:54.Wigan won it by 30 points to 16. You have done the double. It is
:48:54. > :49:00.hard to believe that the Bill as a great win at Wembley. A bit slow
:49:00. > :49:08.after that. -- hard to believe. It was a great win. You could not have
:49:09. > :49:16.written a better script. An absolutely amazing eight years at
:49:16. > :49:21.the club. I could not be happier. What a wave wheel within Korea to
:49:21. > :49:28.end! I could not have asked for more. -- ate way for your Wigan
:49:28. > :49:32.Korea to end. It is so special to end it like this. Midway through
:49:32. > :49:39.Korea to end. It is so special to the first half, where you beginning
:49:39. > :49:44.to wonder? Yes. I said once we start performing the way we can, we
:49:44. > :49:51.will win and I'm very satisfied. We were really pleased with the first
:49:51. > :49:57.half. The second half, we were way off. We defended our own ends just
:49:57. > :50:06.about the whole second half. If you do that against Wigan, they will
:50:06. > :50:13.hurt you. We played full 80 minutes and we got them in the end. When I
:50:14. > :50:18.have given them into the ground, and we got them in the end. When I
:50:18. > :50:26.they have come up trumps and performed. The second half was a
:50:27. > :50:31.great effort. I have been a bit unlucky with the injury. It was
:50:32. > :50:39.touch and go whether I would make it back. How special for you to be
:50:39. > :50:44.man of the match? It is unbelievable - such a special
:50:44. > :50:49.moment. The crowd was enormous. It is unreal. There were some tears
:50:49. > :50:53.moment. The crowd was enormous. It shed. We were disappointed for some
:50:53. > :50:57.of the boys that uneven we could not send them off on a different
:50:57. > :51:03.note. We would rather be at Old Trafford having lost and not be
:51:03. > :51:10.here at all. How do you reflect a new Warrington Korea and where the
:51:10. > :51:13.club has come? Very proud. They are one of the powerhouses of
:51:13. > :51:21.Superleague was that they have been making these major finals. To be
:51:21. > :51:26.part of the team coming through to one of the better sides has been
:51:26. > :51:34.fantastic. I look with some of incredible memories. At the start
:51:34. > :51:39.of the season, we lost a few players and silence critics, it is
:51:39. > :51:44.of the season, we lost a few unbelievable. A lift the trophy
:51:44. > :51:49.higher. Only the third club to do the double in the Superleague era.
:51:49. > :51:58.The biggest by backing grant by no history. The lesson of 20 13th is
:51:58. > :52:03.never right within off. -- 2013. They are Double-winners. They have
:52:03. > :52:11.done the double. They lifted the Superleague trophy to add to the
:52:11. > :52:16.Challenge Cup. That was some final. It was rigged game of two halves. I
:52:16. > :52:25.thought it was dead and buried will start -- a game. They lost some key
:52:25. > :52:31.players. They had to do too much work. They came fine. I never
:52:31. > :52:36.thought it would happen. Wigan were the better team. Just put it into
:52:36. > :52:44.perspective have tough it is was up they are really close together. --
:52:44. > :52:50.it is. It was a fantastic performance of 80 minutes. It is an
:52:50. > :52:55.unbelievable achievement in many respects but thoroughly deserved on
:52:55. > :53:12.today's performance. Was the turning point that injury? With
:53:12. > :53:18.Wigan soon to get back into the game. Their tails were up. They had
:53:18. > :53:24.great shape. The Wigan half backs orchestrated everything. Sean
:53:24. > :53:28.Lachlan went off and came back. It was a well structured performance
:53:28. > :53:33.was that it showed great character in coming back. A magnificent
:53:33. > :53:40.performance - especially the second half. The man of the match has a
:53:41. > :53:46.heck of a Shiner to go with his trophy. It was courageous. I liked
:53:46. > :53:50.his composure will start to get that composure and direction, it
:53:50. > :53:52.his composure will start to get comes from your Hart. That was on
:53:52. > :54:00.the back of some forward play. comes from your Hart. That was on
:54:00. > :54:10.Having the Achilles problem, the way he kept the team together, he
:54:10. > :54:28.was like the gloom in the attacking - as macabre blue in the attacking
:54:28. > :54:34.formation. -- the glue. Let's not forget, five or six giants are out
:54:34. > :54:39.there. They have carried them forward. They seem to play the same
:54:39. > :54:46.play all the time. They have the confidence to do that and pick up
:54:46. > :54:52.the right ball. Warrington were really worried about it. When the
:54:52. > :54:56.time came to come up the middle, they scored right near the ruck
:54:56. > :55:02.because they were worried about the defence out wide. Up that may be
:55:02. > :55:08.the end of the domestic season but it is not it for rugby league on
:55:08. > :55:24.the BBC. Up in three weeks' time, we have the World Cup.
:55:24. > :55:36.Everybody is saying, go, go, go. And he goes. A tried! And the kick
:55:36. > :55:43.it all off in the principality on Thursday, the 24th. It features
:55:43. > :55:48.some familiar faces from games past and present. Also your chance to
:55:48. > :55:57.join as some put questions to the panel. It is on a first-come,
:55:57. > :56:03.first-served basis. You will find our terms and conditions. 48 hours
:56:03. > :56:06.later, we will be back with a double header beginning with a
:56:06. > :56:13.mouth-watering and hugely important clash between Australia and England
:56:13. > :56:19.followed by Wales against Italy. This week, the England squad was
:56:19. > :56:32.announced. Three of the ball Burgess brothers are in there with
:56:32. > :56:37.look at missing out. -- Luke. England have quality forwards. Some
:56:37. > :56:42.of the players who missed out, it shows they have strength. Is there
:56:42. > :56:47.anybody you would have liked to have seen in the squad who did not
:56:47. > :56:54.make it? Maybe Stefan Rusch Road. We think he got quite a serious
:56:54. > :56:58.injury today. It would have been academic. The balance is good in
:56:58. > :57:04.the main. Maybe a bit more experience up front.
:57:04. > :57:11.You look at the balance of the team and maybe we were a little bit
:57:11. > :57:16.light in the centre but I think it is a good squad. With England, in
:57:16. > :57:21.previous seasons but what has happened they have not been able to
:57:21. > :57:25.match the Australians and New Zealanders in the outside backs.
:57:25. > :57:29.They are a lot stronger this year. That will be key. It is about
:57:29. > :57:34.picking the right half-back partnership will start you will be
:57:34. > :57:43.with us for the World Cup but you are heading back home. I have had a
:57:43. > :57:52.great time in the UK but I'm going back home. I cannot thank everyone
:57:52. > :57:56.in this country. The BBC has been outstanding. Special people, a
:57:56. > :58:04.special place. I love rugby league and I am happy to be involved with
:58:04. > :58:11.it. On behalf of the BBC, thank you very much for your contribution.
:58:12. > :58:16.The very best of luck. Next up is the rugby league World Cup will
:58:16. > :58:21.stop the 2013 domestic season belongs to Wigan. Two of the most
:58:21. > :58:23.famous names in rugby league.
