:00:11. > :00:15.no matter what? We have a great heritage. A will the of businesses

:00:15. > :00:20.started in the north west. If you are pro-active and focused and you

:00:20. > :00:24.can see opportunities, there are, there are success stories out there.

:00:24. > :00:30.Businesses can grow. Businesses can develop. It -- it will have to be

:00:30. > :00:33.exports. That is where we will end it. Brian, Luke, Coral, anybody in

:00:33. > :00:39.our film, thank you very much. Thank you all for coming. Straw

:00:39. > :00:46.poll at the end. How many of you feel more positive? Anybody more

:00:46. > :00:51.optimistic now than they were at the beginning? You are waivering.

:00:51. > :00:55.There are fewer of you optimistic now. Right, OK. Thank you so much

:00:55. > :00:58.for all of you being here. The Budget is this week. We will be

:00:59. > :01:04.waiting with bated breath to see what George Osborne has to deliver.

:01:04. > :01:07.You can follow any of those developments across the BBC on

:01:07. > :01:11.North West Tonight and your BBC radio stations and online. From all

:01:11. > :01:21.of us here, at the Museum of Science and Industry, many, many

:01:21. > :01:21.

:01:21. > :03:21.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 120 seconds

:03:22. > :03:25.We had more than 750 points scored in Super League on Friday, Saturday

:03:25. > :03:29.and Sunday but it was the news that broke this morning that will be the

:03:29. > :03:33.big talking point of the next few days. Royce Simmons is no longer

:03:33. > :03:37.the coach of St Helens. The Australian has left the club after

:03:37. > :03:40.four straight Super League defeats. Joining me in studio are Richard

:03:40. > :03:50.Mathers of Wakefield and the former Bradford and Wigan coach, Brian

:03:50. > :03:50.

:03:50. > :03:54.Noble. A surprise? A bit of a shock

:03:54. > :03:59.actually because once there was four defeats, they had been pretty

:03:59. > :04:09.close and it is disappointing when somebody loses their job like that.

:04:09. > :04:14.A great guy and unfortunately he has had to move on. It is a shock.

:04:14. > :04:20.It is cut throat but I suppose at club of St Helens stature demands

:04:20. > :04:27.results and they have that brand new stadium. They have lost some

:04:27. > :04:31.key personnel and that is a big transition itself. It was a

:04:31. > :04:36.surprise when the news came through that it is a bigger club. It is

:04:36. > :04:40.just one point in the last five games they have had, was the

:04:40. > :04:44.unlucky because some of those defeats were pretty close? When you

:04:44. > :04:48.look at St Helens and the expectancies, is high to say the

:04:48. > :04:54.least. They have been at the club over the last 15 years, they have

:04:54. > :04:59.been to so many finals and won so many trophies. You know that the

:04:59. > :05:03.pressure will be so high for obvious reasons, that they want to

:05:03. > :05:06.win things. When you get on the back of a run, you've got to have

:05:06. > :05:14.some answers and a way out of that trouble otherwise the consequences

:05:14. > :05:17.are a lot higher. The chairman said that he looks ahead to the next

:05:17. > :05:22.three fixtures and he felt the change had to be made before those

:05:22. > :05:27.big games. They are massive gains in the context of any season but on

:05:27. > :05:32.the back of this, is a big responsibility for Kieran

:05:32. > :05:36.Cunningham. They will take that on board. They have been there a long

:05:36. > :05:39.time and they know the fabric of the club and they would get the

:05:39. > :05:43.players onside and there is no better way to turn it around

:05:43. > :05:47.against Leeds on Sunday. So the final act of Royce Simmons'

:05:47. > :05:51.reign was at Bradford on Saturday. The Bulls themselves were looking

:05:51. > :06:01.for their first home win of the season but with Saints having lost

:06:01. > :06:14.

:06:14. > :06:23.the last three, all eyes were on It is still alive, there still an

:06:23. > :06:33.opportunity here. Oh my word! With the conversion attempt for

:06:33. > :06:38.

:06:38. > :06:41.breathing space - can you believe And he scores! Saints are stunned.

:06:41. > :06:51.St Helens looking for a return to form tonight but they will have to

:06:51. > :07:01.do that without too influential players. Bradford is picking up

:07:01. > :07:01.

:07:01. > :07:11.some good momentum after a series of good performances.

:07:11. > :07:21.

:07:21. > :07:30.Tonight, some heavy weather, the Bradford Bulls. He might have got

:07:30. > :07:36.in for the first score of the night. The referee wants a second look. He

:07:36. > :07:40.is short, he is short and you can see a very obvious double movement

:07:40. > :07:50.there are so there should be no trial and it is confirmed as such.

:07:50. > :07:53.

:07:53. > :08:02.It is a penalty for St Helens. That look like a forward pass but the

:08:02. > :08:08.referee was right there. Shooting of the first defender but not the

:08:08. > :08:14.second and third. Bradford are at sixes and sevens. Since will score

:08:14. > :08:20.the opening try of the night. Touchdown in the end by Andrew

:08:20. > :08:30.Dixon. It could have been any one of four. Fans felt there was a

:08:30. > :08:31.

:08:31. > :08:36.forward pass in the build-up. It certainly looked forward. A finish

:08:36. > :08:46.here by Andrew Dickson but it has left a bad taste in the minds of

:08:46. > :08:50.

:08:50. > :08:59.the supporters. Kicked on, it is why Ted! He has

:08:59. > :09:06.got a bang to the head. The try is concerned. How many times have we

:09:06. > :09:10.seen this? Then Jeffrey's kick setting up a try. There was a kick

:09:10. > :09:18.in the head of from Foster. That has attracted the attention of the

:09:18. > :09:28.referee. That looked at reckless, more than intentional, but a

:09:28. > :09:31.

:09:31. > :09:38.penalty try has been given. The referee has decided that that was

:09:38. > :09:48.reckless and the pair of the given. Another two from under the post.

:09:48. > :10:05.

:10:06. > :10:14.Bradford lead 8-4 in a very stodgy He scores! Foster will hang his

:10:14. > :10:22.head here. He thought he was going out of play. He lets it bounce.

:10:22. > :10:32.Carol Price takes it up and scores. Foster is furious with himself. The

:10:32. > :10:41.

:10:41. > :10:51.Bradford bench can see the funny side. It has been dropped. It is a

:10:51. > :10:51.

:10:51. > :10:59.penalty. The referee is indicating a yellow card for faster. Offside,

:10:59. > :11:09.the referee he says. A penalty maybe but sin binning him? That

:11:09. > :11:10.

:11:10. > :11:20.seems a little harsh. It certainly has not been forced to's night. --

:11:20. > :11:30.

:11:30. > :11:40.Foster's night. It has raised the ire of others on the pitch. He was

:11:40. > :11:41.

:11:41. > :11:47.very laid bare. And very late. He seems puzzled by why he has been

:11:47. > :11:57.penalised but that is why, he is lucky to stay on the field. Foster

:11:57. > :12:07.

:12:07. > :12:17.is back on the from the bin. Tony has dropped its claim. Maybe the

:12:17. > :12:25.

:12:25. > :12:31.last hope for since has disappeared. Only seconds remaining now. It may

:12:31. > :12:37.only be a consolation try but a very good at touchdown. Too late to

:12:37. > :12:43.count in terms of turning the game around, surely. St Helens, at least,

:12:43. > :12:47.can have an smile on their face at the last memory of this game, even

:12:47. > :12:57.if the other 79 minutes have been grim. Despite that score, it is

:12:57. > :13:03.

:13:03. > :13:10.An oddly disjointed performance? was probably a performance that

:13:10. > :13:14.lacked a little bit of confidence. It is great when you have it. When

:13:14. > :13:18.it is not quite there, there's an element of anxiety and it can

:13:18. > :13:22.change the shape of what you look like and do. There were some

:13:22. > :13:25.instances when people were running on the tackle when the normally

:13:25. > :13:35.wouldn't and that is the element of pressure that comes from a high

:13:35. > :13:38.performance standards. It was littered with mistakes? Things that

:13:38. > :13:42.were uncharacteristic and things that nine times out of 10, the

:13:42. > :13:48.players are coming out with but when things aren't going away,

:13:48. > :13:56.things creep in. It could be a confidence thing, unfamiliar

:13:56. > :14:02.territory, losing four games and they are not comfortable with them.

:14:02. > :14:07.Some of them were very basic and it cost them. We should take nothing

:14:07. > :14:11.away from Bradford because they played well. Absolutely, they

:14:11. > :14:15.carried on from the second have and that has given them a shot in the

:14:15. > :14:18.arm and you can see that, they're really confident now. They were

:14:18. > :14:26.tough on Saturday evening and they needed to be because since played

:14:26. > :14:31.pretty well. There were errors but they were in the game all the time.

:14:31. > :14:37.You have to say that Ben Jefferies is pretty incremental to Bradford

:14:37. > :14:44.scoring points at the moment. He has kicked the ball plenty for

:14:44. > :14:52.tries. The have won a tone which will be a big thing for them?

:14:53. > :14:56.they have had great tendencies as well. -- attendances. Good solid

:14:56. > :15:06.defence and their playing a simplistic game-plan. Then

:15:06. > :15:09.

:15:09. > :15:15.Do you think that they can go on and do something? They had a great

:15:15. > :15:21.start, I think it is consistency. They had some injuries as well.

:15:21. > :15:25.There is now no reason they cannot go to the top this year. Do you

:15:25. > :15:31.think we had written them off a little bit early? They did not

:15:31. > :15:37.start brilliantly. I think you cannot write off a team at the

:15:37. > :15:47.start of the season. There are still new teams out there, if you

:15:47. > :15:49.

:15:49. > :15:54.look at Wakefield. Their finding that fluidity. They are looking

:15:54. > :16:00.more solid than they did at the start of the season. So what next

:16:00. > :16:06.for Saints? They're looking for a new coach. There will be a huge

:16:06. > :16:16.list of applicants, I am certain of that. It is a fabulous club. You

:16:16. > :16:23.need to go there knowing that a lot of people will throw their hat into

:16:23. > :16:29.the ring. The Giants are retaining their coach until the end of the

:16:30. > :16:34.season, which is good for them. is a great coach. Nathan Browne

:16:34. > :16:40.announced that it would be his last year in charge and it is a strong

:16:40. > :16:44.statement to come out now and say that. He would have to be a

:16:44. > :16:54.favourite for the job, I am certain. He did a fantastic job at

:16:54. > :16:55.

:16:55. > :16:59.Huddersfield. They could perhaps go for an interim? Perhaps. I'll keep

:17:00. > :17:03.faith with a couple of experienced players who know the club Inside

:17:03. > :17:09.Out. Warrington and Wakefield met at the

:17:09. > :17:11.Halliwell Jones on Sunday. The Wolves slipped to their first

:17:11. > :17:19.defeat of the season at Leeds last weekend, and you managed to give

:17:19. > :17:27.them an almighty fright here, Richard. We played some great stuff

:17:27. > :17:33.and defended really well against an fantastic Warrington team. We were

:17:33. > :17:37.leading at half-time and felt like we were really in the game. But

:17:37. > :17:40.Warrington are a great side and they came back strongly in the

:17:40. > :17:45.second half. You seemed to be second half. You seemed to be

:17:45. > :17:54.playing with confidence as well. The coach has given us that

:17:54. > :18:02.confidence and backed as. And that is great for the players. We are

:18:02. > :18:07.just concentrating on that defence, trying to tighten up in that area.

:18:07. > :18:14.It was quite a big win for Warrington. Those close ones are

:18:14. > :18:20.the ones that you want to get away with, especially at home. There are

:18:20. > :18:25.still a few too many individual errors. The real test for them will

:18:25. > :18:34.come this weekend against Wigan. They just have enough quality to

:18:35. > :18:39.get over the line. Wakefield had some missed opportunities.

:18:39. > :18:49.And important to build on that, Richard? We were gutted after the

:18:49. > :18:54.

:18:54. > :19:02.game, to get so close. It is a bitter pill to swallow when you

:19:02. > :19:12.have put so much effort into getting the result. Do you feel

:19:12. > :19:12.

:19:13. > :19:17.that there will be a huge changes? We have improved week on week. Each

:19:17. > :19:22.week we are working on different areas and improving as aside.

:19:22. > :19:29.People do not give us much of a chance on the outside but we are

:19:29. > :19:31.confident about what we are doing. Champions Leeds have been in red

:19:31. > :19:38.hot form so far, they travelled to Salford on Friday, and despite an

:19:38. > :19:43.early scare, it was another sensational display by the Rhinos.

:19:43. > :19:53.They are on fire. We discussed their back line before the show and

:19:53. > :19:53.

:19:53. > :20:00.it is the most exciting one for quite a long time. They got that

:20:00. > :20:10.hat-trick. I think the whole back line is on

:20:10. > :20:15.

:20:16. > :20:20.fire. Kevin Sinfield as well, the footwork from this kid. He just

:20:20. > :20:29.moved on a sixpence, that is awesome. Then it John Bishop on the

:20:29. > :20:39.outside, they have got speed to burn.

:20:39. > :20:43.

:20:43. > :20:47.Kevin Sinfield has been some players for leaves. -- for Leeds.

:20:47. > :20:55.Danny Maguire, all the players are in form at the moment which is

:20:55. > :21:05.wonderful to see. You would pay the entrance fee just for that. It is

:21:05. > :21:07.

:21:07. > :21:11.fabulous footwork from Danny Maguire.

:21:11. > :21:17.They have a mixture of youth and experience. These youngsters are

:21:17. > :21:25.coming through a mixed the more experienced players. I just cannot

:21:25. > :21:31.say enough about them. Showing plenty of speed. And support play

:21:31. > :21:37.and all the things that you go through in practice. To see that

:21:37. > :21:45.wrote the performance. It is thrilling.

:21:45. > :21:50.Kevin Sinfield is an incredible player week-in, week-out.

:21:50. > :21:55.He puts in so many hours of practice on the training field. His

:21:55. > :22:05.all-round playing, he thoroughly deserved to break the record. He

:22:05. > :22:12.

:22:12. > :22:22.has been a fantastic player full -. You can be the best defensive coach

:22:22. > :22:24.

:22:25. > :22:30.in the world, but went Leeds are hot, they are hot. But they will

:22:30. > :22:35.need to improve defensively. They need to go back to some of the

:22:35. > :22:38.basic things. And the attacking basic things. And the attacking

:22:38. > :22:40.play has been impressive so far. Now it's rare these days for an

:22:40. > :22:43.overseas player to hang around for too long at one English club, but

:22:43. > :22:45.Ryan McGoldrick is an exception to that rule. The Australian has been

:22:45. > :22:53.with Castleford for six years now, his staying power with the Tigers

:22:53. > :22:59.has made him a popular figure around Wheldon Road.

:22:59. > :23:09.I am part of the furniture. I came year into a dozen than six. I

:23:09. > :23:12.

:23:12. > :23:19.thought I was only going to be here -- 2006. I have enjoyed my time

:23:19. > :23:29.here. It is a rugby league town and if you're going to come all the way

:23:29. > :23:33.

:23:33. > :23:39.from Australia you might as well be in a town like that. Where I was

:23:39. > :23:46.before they are mad about rugby league. But we also had the beach,

:23:46. > :23:56.so it is different playing over here! But this is one of the best

:23:56. > :23:57.

:23:57. > :24:01.places as a rugby league community. McGoldrick's first season ended in

:24:01. > :24:06.relegation from the Super League. But he was persuaded to stick

:24:06. > :24:11.around. There is not much royalty left now

:24:11. > :24:17.in rugby league. People do what they think is best. But it is

:24:17. > :24:27.something I have always found them rather important. To see how much

:24:27. > :24:33.

:24:33. > :24:38.people are affected, that is a big factor. 12 months later McGoldrick

:24:38. > :24:45.and Castleford won promotion back to the elite. Castleford were the

:24:45. > :24:55.last team to experienced the agony of traditional promotion and

:24:55. > :25:01.relegation. If there was relegation, some of

:25:01. > :25:05.those players would have been snapped up. So without the

:25:06. > :25:10.relegation, you definitely can promote young people within your

:25:10. > :25:16.squad and that is what it is all about. We have got a couple of

:25:16. > :25:21.young hookers with a good future ahead of them. And hopefully it

:25:21. > :25:27.will be with Castleford for a long time. That will give us a little

:25:27. > :25:31.bit of spark. And hopefully that will continue. McGoldrick is the

:25:31. > :25:37.great painted manner of the Superleague. His collection of

:25:37. > :25:47.tattoos revealing his philosophy on life. I have got a few. It started

:25:47. > :25:56.when I was 16 with a tiny tattoo on my chest. Then I convinced my

:25:56. > :26:02.parents to get two or three, but that would be it. Then they

:26:02. > :26:08.gradually started to sneak out from under that shirt. Then there was no

:26:08. > :26:14.stopping it. Now I'm starting to run out of the space. There's

:26:14. > :26:22.nothing to do with rugby league or my career, it is more stuff that I

:26:22. > :26:29.have been through. Across my neck I have, at loyalty costs nothing.

:26:29. > :26:37.Life is a gamble is another one. Then my to a bull mastiff dogs back

:26:37. > :26:42.home. The names of my brother and sister and that kind of stuff.

:26:42. > :26:51.Nothing about rugby league. But it fired a Papcastle Bridge for 10

:26:51. > :26:53.years spent maybe I would have to! -- if I end up at Castleford.

:26:53. > :27:03.McGoldrick is the type of character that every team needs, always

:27:03. > :27:04.

:27:04. > :27:10.positive and looking on the bright side. He is a fabulous player. On

:27:10. > :27:14.his day he is as good as any player in the competition. I have long

:27:14. > :27:20.been an admirer of him. He is one of those people that can change

:27:20. > :27:29.again. You played alongside him, any stories that you can

:27:29. > :27:35.broadcast?! He is a great fellow. He is a bit niggly on the field.

:27:35. > :27:42.But he is really a good fellow. He has been loyal to Castle food for

:27:42. > :27:48.six years and gone through the good times and the bad. When the chips

:27:48. > :27:55.are down heat always comes out as a good player. Under current

:27:55. > :27:59.character that you want around a club like that? Yes he is not yours

:27:59. > :28:09.terror to the core sports man. He has all those tattoos and has got a

:28:09. > :28:09.

:28:09. > :28:19.Harley Davidson. And a nightclub in the back garden! But what we get to

:28:19. > :28:21.see is his dedication. Ian Millward was back on the

:28:21. > :28:23.sidelines for Castleford on Friday night. They travelled to

:28:23. > :28:31.Huddersfield to face the Super League leaders. Dave Woods was

:28:31. > :28:41.League leaders. Dave Woods was watching.

:28:41. > :28:51.

:28:51. > :29:01.Robinson has a look around. George comes after it and he will

:29:01. > :29:01.

:29:01. > :29:52.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 120 seconds

:29:52. > :30:02.defending it. The Huddersfield backwards. Confirmed! Again, the

:30:02. > :30:12.

:30:12. > :30:18.defence will question itself. They could do with a response. Oh, he

:30:18. > :30:28.has had himself been the act of scoring. But it is for desperately

:30:28. > :30:35.

:30:35. > :30:42.needed points. He is going to be OK, they make them tough, don't they?

:30:42. > :30:52.Jason is in trouble here, I think. Have a look at this. Add chicken

:30:52. > :30:57.

:30:57. > :31:02.when a tackle. The referee has seen it and he is of the 10 minutes. He

:31:02. > :31:12.has support but he doesn't need it. What a splendid individual try that

:31:12. > :31:26.

:31:26. > :31:31.is. Off he goes. A burst of pace. A good try. George will score! Two

:31:31. > :31:41.tries in the blink of a night just before the break. Huddersfield are

:31:41. > :32:04.

:32:04. > :32:14.absolutely in the ascendancy now. George. It will be a hat-trick if

:32:14. > :32:15.

:32:15. > :32:24.confirmed. The question is, how did this all get this? He has rattled

:32:24. > :32:34.the ball free. Absolutely nothing wrong with the touchdown. It is a

:32:34. > :32:38.

:32:38. > :32:45.hat-trick for George. Another try for Huddersfield. Nobody left to

:32:45. > :32:53.stop the inevitable expert this time, George involved in the build

:32:53. > :33:03.up and Brown is the finisher. Huddersfield are at a canter at the

:33:03. > :33:17.

:33:17. > :33:24.moment. Simply no stopping them. Here is Lawrence. I think he has

:33:24. > :33:30.got that down! He has. Though marks here for Michael Lawrence. The

:33:30. > :33:34.strength and desire with two or three defenders on him. He just

:33:34. > :33:43.touches it down. Huddersfield's impressive start to the season

:33:43. > :33:51.continues. They do look impressive? continues. They do look impressive?

:33:51. > :34:01.They are playing great rugby. One thing I really liked as well, a lot

:34:01. > :34:04.

:34:04. > :34:09.of the starting line-up were English. Luke George's third hat-

:34:09. > :34:13.trick. Is he a little bit unfortunate that there are so many

:34:13. > :34:23.other good wingers out there at the moment? I don't think he will score

:34:23. > :34:33.an easier one! When you confident, you confident. The ball bounced

:34:33. > :34:38.

:34:38. > :34:46.perfectly for him. In the next one, this is a set play. In this one,

:34:47. > :34:49.even you could score this one, Richard! Don't take anything away

:34:49. > :34:58.from the Garrick, you've got to be in the frame to get those current

:34:58. > :35:02.scores. He will be thrilled and so he should be. Is the key for

:35:02. > :35:06.Huddersfield to sustain this. They look a bit stronger this year,

:35:06. > :35:16.don't they? They have some superstar forwards to come back as

:35:16. > :35:18.

:35:18. > :35:23.well. Nathan Brown is not scared to rotate them and keep them fresh.

:35:23. > :35:27.And give some of the fringe players ago. Everybody slots into the roles

:35:27. > :35:36.and they don't get too much disharmony in there so it is a big

:35:36. > :35:45.focus that they have fought on, staying consistent. They have not

:35:45. > :35:55.been afraid to bring youngsters in? Yes and you are getting the fruits

:35:55. > :35:58.

:35:58. > :36:01.of that Labour. That policy is really in place and you think

:36:01. > :36:05.O'Donnell not being in the team and some of the others, it looks well

:36:05. > :36:08.for them but the challenge is peaking at the right time because

:36:08. > :36:18.the first question you asked is a permanent one, they have to be

:36:18. > :36:21.fresh and healthy. Castleford last seen to be lacking in convents?

:36:21. > :36:27.They are having it tough at the moment. It has been a disruptive

:36:27. > :36:34.few weeks for the club as a whole. A little bit similar to last week,

:36:34. > :36:40.they just need to consolidate and improve and try to get that went in

:36:40. > :36:44.and I am sure they will cope. that Becky, somehow get a win and

:36:44. > :36:53.move forward? They will have to then their backs better than they

:36:53. > :36:56.did they were about passive at the weekend. Huddersfield executed

:36:56. > :37:03.really well and when you set your stall out to do certain things and

:37:03. > :37:06.it doesn't come off, it ricochets downwards.

:37:06. > :37:08.Wigan suffered a shock defeat against the bottom club Widnes last

:37:08. > :37:12.weekend. On Sunday they faced another struggling club and it

:37:12. > :37:20.looked for a while as though it would be another surprise for the

:37:20. > :37:30.Warriors. They started like a house on fire and cost Wigan quite a bit

:37:30. > :37:33.

:37:33. > :37:39.of trouble. Definitely a fright to start the game. London did look

:37:39. > :37:43.impressive. That is under which before or, at the scored 45 pounds

:37:43. > :37:49.the before and that has carried on. There was a little bit of quality

:37:49. > :37:59.in this week in the team. Shaun Wane wasn't happy but there is

:37:59. > :38:05.

:38:05. > :38:15.Gareth getting them back in again. Is he one of the best signings you

:38:15. > :38:19.

:38:19. > :38:23.ever made? He certainly has to be up there. These guys are at the

:38:23. > :38:27.ones that people want to pay to come and watch. Look at that, it is

:38:27. > :38:33.terrific to see. As good as London where with their attack, they got

:38:33. > :38:41.really close and again, they might have to talk about the defensive

:38:42. > :38:46.side of the game. Wigan are on a role here. Once we can got in front,

:38:46. > :38:50.they are pretty good at keeping a team at arm's length? They are

:38:50. > :38:57.really methodical in their attacking plans. They really know

:38:57. > :39:03.where they are going. London finished strong as well so some

:39:03. > :39:08.great passages of play from them as well. Wigan haven't been quite

:39:08. > :39:18.there in the first halves of games, interestingly, but to us through

:39:18. > :39:18.

:39:18. > :39:27.this one? That was too soft. That is a sop to try. Sam Tomkins is

:39:28. > :39:34.smart enough and thinks, I will go! He is good at that kind of think

:39:34. > :39:40.but London will be hugely disappointed with that. I mentioned

:39:40. > :39:44.it earlier that they have a chance to be more ruthless on Friday.

:39:44. > :39:47.This week, it is the turn of Hull FC to try their luck with our giant

:39:47. > :39:50.egg and spoon race. The Airlie Birds, as they like to be known,

:39:50. > :40:00.are chasing the time set by Castleford Tigers all the way back

:40:00. > :40:16.

:40:16. > :40:19.This week, we have a threesome hoping to fight against evil and

:40:19. > :40:23.claimed world domination or stop only joking, they're here for a

:40:23. > :40:32.giant egg and spoon race but there is something missing from this

:40:32. > :40:36.picture. That's better, a giant egg and spoon. They will need to use

:40:36. > :40:45.their psychological powers to complete the course in the quickest

:40:45. > :40:51.time a possible. Mistakes will be punished with five second penalties.

:40:51. > :41:01.Can Hull FC a bright those wrongs today. First of, it is Jordan

:41:01. > :41:07.

:41:07. > :41:12.Turner. That is not a bad start, to be fair. Here comes well sharp. He

:41:12. > :41:22.is doing pretty good here. Jimmy Ellis will be the man he is handing

:41:22. > :41:27.

:41:27. > :41:31.on to. Surely he will be hoping to make his mark. They might have been

:41:31. > :41:38.one or two handling errors. They dream of world domination is

:41:38. > :41:46.shutters with at time of 42.92 seconds or stopped that leaves them

:41:46. > :41:56.third on the leaderboard. Join us next time for another feast of

:41:56. > :41:57.

:41:57. > :42:01.fancy footwork. And some frightening faces.

:42:01. > :42:04.You are chomping at the bit to have a go? Just waiting for the phone

:42:04. > :42:08.call. Our obstacle course was obviously ideal preparation for

:42:08. > :42:14.Hull. They welcomed Widnes to the KC on Sunday and it was a bit of a

:42:14. > :42:20.rout. Hull FC were fantastic and attacked

:42:20. > :42:30.really importantly and they are flooded through. The first of four

:42:30. > :42:31.

:42:31. > :42:34.tries. 34 pounds in total. Also creating opportunities. Danny

:42:34. > :42:40.Houghton was highlighted by both coaches as being key player in this

:42:40. > :42:48.game. He has been given Ali's to play the football they get you for

:42:48. > :42:55.it. Knowing where to go, they look more fluid than I have done for a

:42:55. > :43:05.while. This is good, strong running. Do you think they have gone under

:43:05. > :43:05.

:43:05. > :43:10.the radar a bit because they missed that game at Catalan? No, coaches

:43:10. > :43:16.and fans are smart. Some teams have played a few more games and you get

:43:16. > :43:26.a few hiccups but they have recorded it fairly well. Andy Lynch

:43:26. > :43:26.

:43:26. > :43:36.is a fantastic player. He has been a huge acquisition for the club.

:43:36. > :43:41.Here we see great ship in a passing movement for. Aha aha ha ha ha go

:43:41. > :43:48.Denis Betts didn't pull his punches afterwards saying, to have 58

:43:49. > :43:55.points scored against you, this is unacceptable. After winning well,

:43:55. > :44:00.chipping that amount of points, it is a shame. It will be

:44:00. > :44:09.disappointing for Dennis. He even said that the last two tries got

:44:09. > :44:18.flatter them will stop there are still learning. There will be

:44:18. > :44:26.better for that experience. Catalans against Hull K hour, this

:44:26. > :44:36.was a close game? Yes. Michael Dobson against his own club

:44:36. > :44:37.

:44:37. > :44:45.squeezed over and they think they were winning at half-time. It was a
