:00:42. > :00:46.Good evening. Thanks for taking a break from the Olympics it enjoyed
:00:46. > :00:49.the best action in Round 22 of the Super League. The play-offs are
:00:49. > :00:56.looming and all of the contenders are looking to go faster, Higher,
:00:56. > :01:01.stronger. I am joined by two men who have won plenty of medals. Ian
:01:01. > :01:11.Millward and Jamie Peacock, MBE. Jamie was in action last night as
:01:11. > :01:23.
:01:23. > :01:30.the Rhinos looked to extend their Andy Raleigh is going to search for
:01:30. > :01:36.the line. Has he got the ball down? The referee once a second look.
:01:36. > :01:40.Double movement, that is the question. Is that all one movement?
:01:40. > :01:50.The video referee has to decide. It's given. Wakefield have the
:01:50. > :01:57.
:01:57. > :02:05.perfect start. Deservedly so, they has. Step back, on the inside. The
:02:05. > :02:13.past two web. Created by Ryan Hall. The referee wants to look at a
:02:13. > :02:23.obstruction. Hall takes the Inside path. Ward is ahead of him. That
:02:23. > :02:26.
:02:26. > :02:31.looks like the wrong defensive is ahead of Ryan Hall. The tackle
:02:31. > :02:41.is made, it looks like the wrong decision. The ball continues, the
:02:41. > :02:45.
:02:45. > :02:49.try was scored. No try, penalty his pace like? Four, five in
:02:49. > :02:55.pursuit. He's not going to goal of the way, but there might be a man
:02:55. > :03:00.who could. Kallum Watkins. Look at that full pace. Kallum Watkins,
:03:00. > :03:10.with a Leeds drive. He was denied a moment ago by the video referee.
:03:10. > :03:15.
:03:15. > :03:21.youngster. He knew he was not going to go the distance, so he looked
:03:21. > :03:28.for support. Kallum Watkins is flying. No chance that the
:03:28. > :03:38.Wakefield defence is going to stop his Watt to the try-line. -- his
:03:38. > :03:45.
:03:45. > :03:51.himself towards the try-line. Kevin Sinfield and two others were unable
:03:51. > :04:01.to stop him. A second for Wakefield. They have a bit of comfort in the
:04:01. > :04:17.
:04:17. > :04:27.Well, they are shielding their eyes to see what has happened. Boy, are
:04:27. > :04:45.
:04:45. > :04:52.is out there. Hall, with the catch. A simple try for Leeds. A look of
:04:52. > :05:02.consternation on Richard Agar's face. Not surprising. Well taken by
:05:02. > :05:02.
:05:02. > :05:50.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 48 seconds
:05:50. > :06:00.defenders around him. A terrific They still have a chance. They will
:06:00. > :06:04.
:06:04. > :06:11.score. Danny Washbrook. What was he that way would surely have been a
:06:11. > :06:21.score. He thought it was opportunity lost. But it was not.
:06:21. > :06:39.
:06:39. > :06:49.Wakefield try! Surely, this is the one that wins it. A little surge
:06:49. > :06:56.
:06:56. > :07:02.across the line. Andy Raleigh, sleeve, Leeds. You would still give
:07:02. > :07:08.them a chance of getting back in to the game. Three tries, they need to
:07:08. > :07:12.score. Here they come. Sinfield, with a kick to the corner. Hall has
:07:12. > :07:20.done it again. A hat-trick, this time along the ground. The same
:07:20. > :07:30.method, Kevin Sinfield with the kick. Superbly weighted. He knows
:07:30. > :07:36.
:07:36. > :07:42.that these are desperate moments clock down, at the least. There
:07:42. > :07:45.will be looking for a repeat set up. It's been missed, and scored.
:07:45. > :07:55.Scored by Dean Collis. That will be the match-winner. Five minutes to
:07:55. > :07:56.
:07:56. > :08:06.go. A3 score margin again. Danny Collins has -- Dean Collis has won
:08:06. > :08:08.
:08:08. > :08:18.Wakefield are looking to finish with a flourish. Here comes Peter
:08:18. > :08:21.
:08:21. > :08:24.keep him out. That fact does not hit the whitewash. This will be a
:08:25. > :08:29.try. On a night when he has been tormented at the other end, it is
:08:30. > :08:38.Peter Fox that will get the final word. Wakefield will celebrate a
:08:38. > :08:42.Not many people predicted that. What went wrong for Leeds?
:08:42. > :08:45.Wakefield played too well for us. We started poorly and gave us too
:08:45. > :08:49.much to do in the second half. I don't want to take anything away
:08:49. > :08:53.from Wakefield, they were the better side. Did you sense they
:08:53. > :08:57.were really pumped for the game against the big city rivals? It's
:08:57. > :09:01.always difficult. They are on a bit of a roll. They turned over
:09:01. > :09:04.Huddersfield the week before. They have almost turned themselves into
:09:04. > :09:08.like a top aide sighed. They thoroughly deserved it and we
:09:08. > :09:11.didn't play well. How do you explain a result like that?
:09:11. > :09:19.Wakefield had been playing well. They had a great win against
:09:19. > :09:24.Huddersfield. They blew a couple of opportunities and dropped it over
:09:24. > :09:31.the try-line a couple of times. I liked the way that they had
:09:31. > :09:35.composure to finish it off. They had a high completion rate and
:09:35. > :09:39.their kicking game was a lot stronger. Sykes and Smith gave them
:09:39. > :09:46.a clinical kicking game. They were the better team and they played
:09:46. > :09:51.very well this year. I think Richard Agar deserves a lot of
:09:51. > :09:54.credit. He had to put a team in late, but he put an experienced
:09:54. > :09:59.team with some good players together. Another influential
:09:59. > :10:03.player, Kyle Wood? It a great example of a player that had to go
:10:03. > :10:06.back to the championship, learned some of his trade, come back up and
:10:06. > :10:09.get some opportunities. There are a lot of good players in the
:10:09. > :10:14.championship that could get opportunities. He's got speed, he
:10:14. > :10:19.creates some doubt around the ruck area. He creates doubt amongst
:10:19. > :10:23.Jamie's team-mates. He brings a kicking game from dummy half. He
:10:23. > :10:30.brings a long kicking game. He's a player that will grow in confidence
:10:30. > :10:34.the more he gets to play. They had their best player out. He was out
:10:34. > :10:39.with a broken jaw. But if that gives him confidence, he will
:10:39. > :10:43.handle it well. For Leeds, it looks like a mirror image of last season.
:10:43. > :10:46.You have to come from outside the top four to make a Grand Final?
:10:46. > :10:51.disappointing thing is that if we had beat them, it was in our hands
:10:51. > :10:55.to get into the top four, if we won every game we had left. Now we have
:10:55. > :11:03.to look at what other teams do. We're going to have to do it from
:11:03. > :11:10.outside that four. We have to get on with it, like last year. Richard
:11:10. > :11:16.-- Richard Descartes -- Richard Agar? Sometimes you have to start
:11:16. > :11:19.from scratch again. New owners, the people involved, fresher approach.
:11:19. > :11:25.More of an outside looking in approach. Looking to see what we
:11:25. > :11:30.need, organisation. They bought well, they played well, they had
:11:30. > :11:33.confidence. It's a hard place to go to. It's one of the few grounds
:11:33. > :11:38.where it is still the original dressing room. Jamie is laughing.
:11:38. > :11:44.He is probably the only one that can fit into it. His mates have to
:11:44. > :11:51.be outside! We play them on Sunday in a local derby. One game each. We
:11:51. > :11:55.will have to play well to be in it. The ongoing crisis at Bradford
:11:55. > :11:59.rumbles on. There are potential saviours in the wings. As if they
:11:59. > :12:04.didn't have enough trouble, they went to high-flying Warrington.
:12:04. > :12:07.They were on the end of a real hiding. 50 points? Warrington is a
:12:07. > :12:11.tough place to got the best of times, never mind the Troubles they
:12:11. > :12:16.have of the pitch. I think the players and coaches deserve credit
:12:16. > :12:22.for the way they had been playing. We went the week before and they
:12:22. > :12:26.came back in the second half. They held back and got 20 points in the
:12:26. > :12:29.second half. They showed some spirit. They have shown spirit of
:12:29. > :12:39.occasion. Can you sense in their body language that they have
:12:39. > :12:41.player, not sure where the club will be at or who you will be
:12:41. > :12:47.playing for next year. Give them the best job they could do. They
:12:47. > :12:51.have had positive results. They have beaten Wigan. To go to
:12:51. > :12:54.Warrington, it was a bit too much for them. Mick Potter is working
:12:54. > :12:59.for free. It's a bit of a brotherhood, coaching. You must
:12:59. > :13:03.have sympathy? You do have an alliance to your players. He's done
:13:03. > :13:06.a fantastic job. I don't think anybody could understand what he is
:13:06. > :13:09.experiencing. All of the turmoil, the blokes not knowing if they are
:13:09. > :13:13.going to get paid, have they got a team next year? I think they have
:13:13. > :13:17.handled it well, the players, touching staff. He has led that by
:13:17. > :13:20.being the leader of the pack. But understand that his coaching at the
:13:20. > :13:23.moment for nothing. The reason he does that is probably because he
:13:23. > :13:27.loved coaching and rugby league. There comes a time when he needs to
:13:27. > :13:30.move on and the club need to move on with some decisions. The six
:13:31. > :13:36.points deduction takes them out of the play-offs. That is probably the
:13:36. > :13:38.only hope that the players have of a focus. If we can win games, we
:13:38. > :13:43.can make the play-offs. They have gone quite a few years without
:13:43. > :13:48.making the play-offs. It would be very hard in coming weeks, for the
:13:48. > :13:52.players. Warrington look pretty challenging ahead of the Cup final?
:13:52. > :14:00.There are good side. They got a great coach and a lot of superstar
:14:00. > :14:04.players. We've got a challenge to beat them. Four tries for Stefan
:14:04. > :14:11.Ratchford. Looking terrific? Looking at that ability, with no
:14:11. > :14:13.injuries, they can rotate the squat with the Challenge Cup in mind, the
:14:13. > :14:19.Super League, hopefully a Grand Final at Old Trafford. In key areas,
:14:19. > :14:27.they are very strong. They have Michael Weiner and, Richard Myler.
:14:27. > :14:34.You've got O'Brien, a lot of players. A lot of players that we
:14:34. > :14:38.call the backbone of the team. They are very good in that area. They
:14:38. > :14:41.play in an enterprising way. The great thing for Jamie's team, Leeds
:14:41. > :14:45.are playing well. They are playing at this stage better than they were
:14:45. > :14:54.last year. Warrington were playing just as good when they were winning
:14:54. > :15:04.Warrington's win with them within three points of Wigan. They got off
:15:04. > :15:08.
:15:08. > :15:13.to a flying start? Three tries in We made a couple of poor defensive
:15:13. > :15:20.decisions. The players showed their commitment. We went into the game
:15:20. > :15:25.with one half, I thought, what night will we have here when he got
:15:25. > :15:29.hurt. There was a lot of will to work with each other. They created
:15:29. > :15:33.a few opportunities the Cas players. We didn't have the cutting edge to
:15:33. > :15:40.We didn't have the cutting edge to finish off with. It On half time
:15:40. > :15:45.there was a controversial penalty. Second-half there was nip and tuck
:15:45. > :15:51.with both teams. Their quality and more cutting edge and execution got
:15:51. > :15:56.them some late tries. I was please pleased with the attitude of our
:15:56. > :16:01.players. Sean was disappointed that they sort of went into like a phase
:16:01. > :16:06.there in the second-half, they weren't up tempo. I noticed things
:16:06. > :16:13.about their game, they could have played quicker. Maybe they were
:16:13. > :16:19.looking at the score board and not respecting playing for 80 minutes.
:16:19. > :16:25.Almost basketball moves there. Is he contender for Man of Steel?
:16:25. > :16:31.Definitely. A standout player. He does things that no other players
:16:31. > :16:36.can do. He is a tough little player. A word about Danny. He announced
:16:36. > :16:44.his retirement at the end of the season. How big a miss and what has
:16:44. > :16:51.his contribution been? He started in 1996. He was a Cas guy. It a
:16:51. > :16:56.great breeding area. Went to lon doe don Broncos. He is a good role
:16:56. > :17:05.model. He want to get him to spend more time with our juniors. He has
:17:05. > :17:09.more time with our juniors. He has a couple more games left to go.
:17:09. > :17:12.This time last year, Sean Long was facing up to retirement after a
:17:12. > :17:14.series of injuries took their toll. But following the sale of Matty
:17:14. > :17:18.Smith to Wigan, the colourful and charismatic Salford assistant coach
:17:18. > :17:27.is to make a comeback for the City Reds and he can't wait to get back
:17:27. > :17:31.in action again. # Now, I'm back to let you know, I
:17:31. > :17:32.can really shake them down can really shake them down
:17:32. > :17:37.# Do you love me # I can really move
:17:37. > :17:42.# Do you love me # I'm in the groove... #
:17:42. > :17:47.Sean Long won every honour in the game in a glittering playing career.
:17:47. > :17:51.Last he he hung up his boots to become Salford's assistant coach.
:17:51. > :17:56.The City Reds are short of cover, she on stand by. I miss Super
:17:56. > :18:01.League. It's fast and quick. I played it since it started, I
:18:01. > :18:05.wouldn't mind playing again. I'll put my hand up and if need be and
:18:05. > :18:09.put my hand up and if need be and called upon I will play. He has
:18:09. > :18:13.achieved everything there is in the game. He has the experience. In
:18:13. > :18:17.training he is fantastic. To have him on the field will be great.
:18:17. > :18:24.It's a good thing he decided to put his boots on. He has not lost. It
:18:24. > :18:27.he can still do. It He talks the game and wants to play. He has his
:18:27. > :18:32.fitness about him. You don't lose your rugby mind. It's other parts
:18:32. > :18:38.of your body that goes. He may be keen to play again, but he has made
:18:38. > :18:44.a big impression as a coach with the Reds winning praise for their
:18:44. > :18:47.attacking play. We are playing to our strengths. We have lads who are
:18:47. > :18:51.skilful players. We are trying to force them to use the ball. When
:18:51. > :18:55.they get tired they stick it under their jumper and taking the ball in.
:18:55. > :19:00.I'm trying to get them to do player, player and see what happens. They
:19:00. > :19:04.have been great. He has done a great job. That is obvious in our
:19:04. > :19:08.attack this year. He has handled that. We are scoring points.
:19:08. > :19:16.Everyone feels comfortable. He has been great for the team.
:19:16. > :19:21.telling the boys to do a bit off the cuff and call it ad-lib footie.
:19:21. > :19:25.Sometimes it doesn't come off. If they practice it in training it
:19:25. > :19:30.will come off in the game. I let them do what they want. That is why
:19:30. > :19:36.they like me, I think. Basically everything about our attack came
:19:36. > :19:41.from Sean Long. It's really good. We roll with the punches together.
:19:41. > :19:46.He comes up with ideas, I come up with ideas, whether that is attack
:19:46. > :19:52.or defence. That is the role of assistant coach. He is doing a good
:19:52. > :19:57.job at it. I will have the crack all the time. He is not as bad at
:19:57. > :20:02.what people see on the camera. He is a bit grumpy at times. Good
:20:02. > :20:07.bloke. He knows his stuff. I learnt a lot with him. Phil did ten years
:20:07. > :20:12.as an assistant. Maybe I have to do towards. That I am willing to do.
:20:12. > :20:16.That I'm still learning. The man management and controlling the team.
:20:16. > :20:25.I'm just coaching at the moment. That will come in time. I want to
:20:25. > :20:29.improve as a coach and do my best for Salford. Since we filmed that,
:20:29. > :20:33.Mark Sneed has broken his leg. He may see some action. Do you fear
:20:33. > :20:37.for him? Is it the right thing? will be able to do. It he is tough
:20:37. > :20:40.mentally, they will be able to do. It he will have the skills. Whether
:20:40. > :20:43.he can do it week-to-week with his body, that will be the question.
:20:43. > :20:48.Only he can answer. That he will lift the team when he does play.
:20:48. > :20:53.You coached him for many years. You knew he would take that move into
:20:53. > :20:57.coaching? He is very smart. A good operator in regard to his
:20:58. > :21:04.perception on the game. A great game sense. He wanted to dissect
:21:04. > :21:09.the game. Great to coach. He could carry out instructions and take it
:21:09. > :21:14.to the next dimension by looking at the opposition and seeing what
:21:14. > :21:17.needed to be adjusted. They don't see the person who has a great
:21:17. > :21:23.thought for the game and great ideas and a great way I think he
:21:23. > :21:26.could coach. He will end up a very, very good coach. I think he should
:21:26. > :21:30.keep coaching. I'm not sure he needs to come back and play. I
:21:30. > :21:35.think he is doing a good job. I hope he doesn't play. He has been
:21:35. > :21:40.one of the great players of Super League era. I think he could turn
:21:40. > :21:44.into a very good coach. You have been warned. Salford were one of
:21:44. > :21:48.Sean's former clubs Hull FC on Sunday. The black and whites were
:21:48. > :21:52.buoyed by last week's victory in Hull Derby and picked up another
:21:52. > :21:57.two points. They are coming into two points. They are coming into
:21:57. > :22:04.form again? They are. They had the Derby win the previous week. They
:22:04. > :22:09.had disruptions with injuries also. When they look Matty Smith it took
:22:09. > :22:15.away a lot of their fluency. They have a good tile style. They play
:22:15. > :22:21.similar to the West Tigers. They use ball movement. Both teams were
:22:21. > :22:25.good with the ball. They showed greenness in their defence and
:22:25. > :22:33.attitude at the moment. Have Salford threft too late? A little
:22:33. > :22:38.bit late now. They played well this year. They have improved their
:22:38. > :22:44.attack a lot. We found them a very difficult side it play against, as
:22:44. > :22:54.have a lot of other teams as well. Salford struggle to keep hold of
:22:54. > :22:57.
:22:57. > :23:02.their players? It is. There is conjector about Daniel Holdsworth.
:23:02. > :23:07.That is the issue. They have gone to a new stadium. It hasn't
:23:07. > :23:13.fulfilled the finances they wanted to bring in with regard to the
:23:13. > :23:17.crowds. They have to cut their cloth to what they can afford. Luke
:23:17. > :23:22.Patton is retiring. A couple of other players haven't been offered
:23:22. > :23:26.contract. They will have to look for recruits. There is some
:23:27. > :23:32.interesting times at Salford. Difficult players to place there,
:23:32. > :23:36.isn't there? Spot on. Hull level with you on points? We slipped 7
:23:36. > :23:42.last night.we could have done with being two in front of them. Hull
:23:42. > :23:47.have been good this year. When you get to the squad numbers 38 and 39
:23:47. > :23:53.you show the injuries we have had throughout the year. Four points
:23:53. > :23:58.clear in eighth, Widnes gave them a fright? Widnes have been tremendous.
:23:58. > :24:02.They won me over and deserve their place in Super League. They have a
:24:02. > :24:05.great owner, great coach. The players play with great spirit.
:24:05. > :24:15.They have come together late and play with spirit. They deserve
:24:15. > :24:15.
:24:15. > :24:20.their place in Super League. threw some youngsters in there?
:24:20. > :24:24.made changes because he had to make them. They looked flat in that
:24:24. > :24:29.Derby game. Widnes are at the stage where Hull were since they came
:24:29. > :24:34.back in the Super League. They are good at home Widnes. They are hard
:24:34. > :24:41.to beat their. The surface is not a normal surface, it's artificial. I
:24:41. > :24:46.think the young fresh guys are good for Hull KR. Widnes continued how
:24:46. > :24:53.they were playing at home over the last month. Do Widnes have to find
:24:53. > :25:02.their fleet? They will. You have to get the players used to week in

:25:41. > :25:48.full squad out they would have been higher up the table. They are doing
:25:48. > :25:52.as well so far. Victories for both Hull sides piled the pressure on

:28:17. > :28:23.and Flannery. Here's Roby. He seems to be at the start of everything
:28:23. > :28:28.for St Helens, doesn't he? Roby is back again. His motor is running
:28:28. > :28:36.well. The kick is not the best, sliced high. There are still
:28:36. > :28:42.opportunities here. It is taken well by Wellens. Foot down by
:28:43. > :28:49.Francis Meli. It's another for St Helens. It's looking a little easy.
:28:49. > :28:55.I'm not sure the kick was intended to drop where it did. Wellens made
:28:56. > :29:05.the most of. It once they had it, St Helens quick to promote it wide

:29:24. > :29:31.catch, wasn't, it by Frankie. What about this for a first play. Brough
:29:31. > :29:35.with a kick behind the line. Taken by George. Huddersfield closing in
:29:35. > :29:42.and crashing over. Keith Mason, the former Saint, is the man who scores
:29:42. > :29:46.the try. This is brave stuff for a team supposedly lacking in
:29:46. > :29:56.confidence. First play kick by Brough. Having got as close as that,
:29:56. > :30:03.
:30:03. > :30:08.they were not going to waste the We got to the half-hour mark and St
:30:09. > :30:14.Helens are looking for another. Lance Hohaia is enjoying himself at
:30:14. > :30:20.the moment. That is one of the reasons why. The referee is having
:30:20. > :30:30.a look at this. The Grandin is OK. Nothing wrong with that. St Helens
:30:30. > :30:52.
:30:52. > :30:57.McCarthy-Scarsbrooke. He forces his way over, on the last tackle.

:31:15. > :31:20.going to be a try. Scott Grix touches down. Simply had to be
:31:20. > :31:26.therein the end, to make that score. That is the boot of Danny Brough
:31:26. > :31:36.again. He picked his spot superbly. No one within 10 metres was able to
:31:36. > :31:49.
:31:49. > :31:57.He could keep it alive. The referee says there was a high shot. A
:31:57. > :32:07.penalty for Saints. Six more tackles to hammer the slime. --

:32:27. > :32:34.on my crush's face. By another St puts the foot down and he goes to
:32:34. > :32:41.score himself. Very often, the creator and the architect. This
:32:42. > :32:48.time, the finisher. They have a look at this again. Was there an
:32:48. > :32:54.obstruction? That is the question. There is no doubting the sublime
:32:54. > :33:04.skills of James Roby. Having got through, his pace was electric. The
:33:04. > :33:13.
:33:13. > :33:17.side. Too easy for Paul Wellens. Huddersfield, losing heart. A very
:33:17. > :33:24.simple try, despite the slip. Another win for St Helens, another
:33:24. > :33:28.disheartening defeat for Another rough night for
:33:28. > :33:33.Huddersfield. Nathan Brown has gone, their coaching staff are leaving,
:33:33. > :33:38.something's wrong? Sport is about habits. They have got into some
:33:38. > :33:41.habits now that are spiralling. The amount of points they are conceding,
:33:41. > :33:46.you wouldn't imagine that in the first half of the season. It's a
:33:46. > :33:52.chain of events. The coach going, the skipper going to Widnes, next
:33:52. > :33:56.year. The way that they want to play, they probably have become a
:33:56. > :34:01.bit Lateral. They lost their toughness. Jimmy Kebe probably talk
:34:01. > :34:05.about that, without being critical of opposing players. They haven't
:34:05. > :34:09.had that cutting edge and that tough mentality for a long time.
:34:09. > :34:15.They are probably in a situation where they get behind, you start to
:34:15. > :34:19.think, here we go again. Nathan had a great time. That is the right
:34:19. > :34:24.time for Paul to come in and stamp his authority. Probably to play a
:34:24. > :34:30.bit like how he used to play, tough, charge the ball into them, be
:34:30. > :34:34.uncompromising. Do you point the finger at the players? Could they
:34:34. > :34:41.have done more to stop the rot? There is some blame in their four
:34:41. > :34:46.players. It's a big game. It's a snowball, rolling, when you get the
:34:46. > :34:51.lack of confidence. They are only one game away from getting that
:34:51. > :34:56.back. I think Paul is the man to do that for them. He's gone about it
:34:56. > :34:59.the right way. Hopefully a win will come for them. Some of their
:34:59. > :35:04.players are trying really hard but things aren't happening. I feel
:35:04. > :35:11.sorry for some of them because they are trying hard. And yet, on the
:35:11. > :35:16.night, Saints were running red hot. Lance Hohaia, fantastic? There will
:35:16. > :35:22.always get you around the ruck area. He's been in great form. He's
:35:22. > :35:26.played in numerous positions, fullback, stand-off, hook area.
:35:26. > :35:31.With imports as well, not all of them shine straight away. It takes
:35:31. > :35:37.your while to bed into the culture, new team-mates, new competition.
:35:37. > :35:41.It's usually at the beck end -- back end when you find that. The
:35:41. > :35:46.style of play, the way they can score points, that makes it harder
:35:46. > :35:49.for Huddersfield. Also, when you are on the back foot, you concede
:35:49. > :35:52.some points. You are still trying but things are not happening. I
:35:52. > :35:56.like the way the Saints are playing at the moment. They are playing
:35:56. > :36:00.with a smile on their face. The style of play is really good. They
:36:00. > :36:03.are a real contender for Super League. It's always competitive,
:36:03. > :36:09.always dramatic and demands high levels of skill and concentration.
:36:09. > :36:14.Yes, egg chasing is heading for a thrilling climax. London Broncos
:36:14. > :36:18.are taking up the challenge. This week, the London Broncos take
:36:18. > :36:22.the a Tasered challenge. They have to jump, duck and weave around this
:36:22. > :36:28.course in the quickest time possible whilst holding a giant egg
:36:28. > :36:35.and spoon. The three heroes... Kevin Dixon, we get. Lamont Bryant,
:36:35. > :36:41.utility. Oskar Thomas, half bank. Jamaica for the Olympics, let's go!
:36:41. > :36:46.Well, you are not going to get a gold medal for disco dancing. Prawn
:36:46. > :36:51.sandwiches at the ready. Usain Bolt in the background. Remember, they
:36:51. > :36:57.are trying to get as low a time as possible. The idea is to keep the
:36:57. > :37:03.egg honour the spoon. Here comes Oskar Thomas. Carefully does it.
:37:03. > :37:10.Over the bar. Not the quickest lad. He is at least keeping his eye on
:37:10. > :37:14.the egg. Slowly around the obstacles. He has let it spill.
:37:14. > :37:20.Comeback, Sam. You can't do that. I'm not sure that it in the rules
:37:20. > :37:27.of the game. Lamont Bryant, looking to finish things off. A skipping
:37:27. > :37:31.action. Around the sticks as well. London is not going to win it, just
:37:31. > :37:37.in case you were worried. He's not going Teevan finished the course.
:37:37. > :37:45.He doesn't make it to the end. A cake in frustration. 48.7 p to is
:37:45. > :37:51.the time. I don't think that Usain Bolt has any thing to worry about.
:37:51. > :38:01.They find themselves in 9th position. They are not dribbling
:38:01. > :38:07.
:38:07. > :38:12.Well, it looks like Leeds Rhinos can end up with a wooden spoon. We
:38:12. > :38:16.caught up with their coach before the trip to Catalan Dragons.
:38:16. > :38:20.The future of the club is clear. The owner is investing up the
:38:20. > :38:24.levels competitive with everybody else. That intent is clear. The
:38:24. > :38:27.reason I am here is that the intent has not been delivered. The first
:38:27. > :38:32.day we need to work on is that everybody has good habits. There
:38:32. > :38:37.doesn't seem to be a real problem with liking it Shadow Hand Mara,
:38:37. > :38:43.teamwork. There is good agility and energy. We have got some good
:38:43. > :38:46.playmakers that can make some good decisions. We have never walk into
:38:46. > :38:51.something that is not saveable. It is saveable it just needs pointing
:38:51. > :38:55.the right direction. London looks to be going the right direction
:38:55. > :39:02.with a much-improved performance in pegging on. Toby Club opened up the
:39:02. > :39:06.scoring. The scores were level as the inside man was found. For the
:39:06. > :39:12.Broncos, with a renewed sense of confidence, they exposed the team
:39:12. > :39:17.once more. Weeldon was allowed to drive at the back line. Controversy
:39:17. > :39:24.followed when a try was ruled out for obstruction on the London
:39:24. > :39:28.defence. That was much to the defence and of -- annoyance of the
:39:28. > :39:33.home fans. Glenn Fisher went over the post to level the scores at 12-
:39:33. > :39:36.12. In a closely contested second half, it was a piece of individual
:39:36. > :39:42.brilliance that proved the difference between the sides. The
:39:42. > :39:46.Bronco defence was breached by a series of smart passes. Millard's a
:39:46. > :39:53.superb solo effort saw him dance past five players to score, we did
:39:53. > :39:58.not of the video referee. -- with the Lord or the video referee. Then
:39:58. > :40:08.a drop goal in the last five minutes. Much more encouraging for

:40:37. > :40:42.Now, with just over three weeks to go until the Challenge Cup final,
:40:42. > :40:46.the RFL are still seeking your opinion on which one Rugby League
:40:46. > :40:56.Legend should be honoured with a statue at Wembley. Here is a look

:40:56. > :41:04.at the latest candidate, Billy The ball moves out, Ashton has

:41:19. > :41:27.Magnificent women. Occasional centre. -- When a man. He scored a
:41:27. > :41:37.lot of tries in his career. 405 for Wigan stands as a record. A career

:41:40. > :41:45.As a legend, still reveal a -- revered. He had a great swathe and
:41:45. > :41:54.sidestep. He had an aggression which was particularly fearsome
:41:54. > :41:59.when faced against Australians. He was the first black Briton to play
:41:59. > :42:03.up on a tour in Australia. 1962, you were involved. Can you remember
:42:03. > :42:06.much about it? I think it was the greatest set of players I have ever
:42:06. > :42:10.played with. I thought it was a great side. They were brilliant,
:42:10. > :42:17.they could fight, they could play rugby if they wanted to play rugby.
:42:17. > :42:27.He had an aura at Wembley. He was a crowd pleaser of a highest order.
:42:27. > :42:28.
:42:28. > :42:32.Wembley is a glamour place. I would give up anything to play at Wembley.
:42:32. > :42:39.Each time you walk out, no matter how meat tends to play there, it is
:42:39. > :42:47.a great feeling. There are thousands of people, it's great.
:42:47. > :42:51.Since his playing days, he was always open for supporters to have
:42:51. > :42:55.a pint with him and trapped about the great game. There is a special
:42:55. > :43:02.rapport between rugby fans across the world and Billy Boston. This
:43:02. > :43:12.guy should be remembered in a Billy Boston, one of the true

:43:20. > :43:24.unfinished business at the end of the month. Next month, should I say.
:43:24. > :43:28.We are looking forward to it as a team. Last year, we stumbled into
:43:28. > :43:33.the Challenge Cup final. We want to go into the final would form.
:43:33. > :43:38.quickly, you know all about Wigan and Saints derbies. Wakefield and
:43:38. > :43:42.Castleford next? One each this season. We have some injury
:43:42. > :43:48.problems and they are playing well. Derby's, the form doesn't count, it
:43:48. > :43:51.is on the day. The emotion might get us through. A big thank-you
