It is a massive boost and it is a big relief. We played Wakefield

:21:12.:21:16.

last week and they put 30 points past us, even though they did not

:21:16.:21:20.

win, they got a lot of confidence and it was only a matter of time

:21:20.:21:24.

before they posted a big win and Catalan is a big scalp to take.

:21:24.:21:30.

have got a Catalan comeback, not surprising, we are used to that

:21:30.:21:35.

this season. It was pretty much an off day for them. It is never easy

:21:35.:21:40.

having to travel every second week like they do. If you get a team in

:21:40.:21:44.

the mood like Wakefield at the time, at the start of this game, it's

:21:44.:21:48.

going to be a difficult afternoon. Weak field will be desperate to

:21:48.:21:55.

sink their teeth in and then pushed down, keep them in there --

:21:55.:22:03.

Wakefield. He has announced this will be his last year? He has been

:22:03.:22:08.

one of the most consistent players in Super League for Catalan. That

:22:08.:22:13.

will be a big loss for them. Friday night was Derby night on the west

:22:13.:22:16.

side of the Pennines, in what is traditionally one of the biggest

:22:16.:22:20.

fixtures of the seasonthe season against Warrington at the DW

:22:20.:22:25.

Stadium. I'm not sure it was named Stadium. I'm not sure it was named

:22:25.:22:28.

in honour of Dave Wood, our commentator, but he was there any

:22:28.:22:33.

way. A fantastic atmosphere inside the DW Stadium tonight. 20,000

:22:33.:22:38.

packed in here, too early to define either side's season, but a

:22:38.:22:43.

psychological blow could be struck one way or another tonight. The

:22:43.:22:50.

referee, Richard Silverwood, doing his bit for Sport Relief as well.

:22:51.:22:58.

Here's Leuluai, picking it up from the base of the scrum. He was

:22:58.:23:02.

caught, the referee has decided, that has given Wigan the penalty

:23:02.:23:10.

for the high tackle. A swish by Morley and a spot by a Westwood. A

:23:10.:23:16.

moment of potential history here, if Pat Richards puts this over, it

:23:16.:23:21.

takes him past 2000 points in a Wigan jersey and a bit goes, 2-0 on

:23:21.:23:29.

the night, 2000 plus one in Pat Richards' week in Korea. Here's

:23:29.:23:39.
:23:39.:23:40.

Rich at dummy-half. Westwood. Here's Briers, now they have some

:23:41.:23:49.

options. Atkins for the line! Ryan Atkins claiming the try, the

:23:49.:23:54.

referee wants somebody to have a second look here. Steve Ganson has

:23:54.:23:59.

been asked about the grounding. Real strength from that position,

:23:59.:24:04.

but that looks OK. What is the verdict, Steve Ganson? Warrington

:24:04.:24:09.

have the lead. A quick response. The carried England football

:24:09.:24:13.

manager, Stuart Pearce, just getting a bit of advice. Tony Smith

:24:13.:24:22.

offering him a few words. Here's Richards, only inches away, my

:24:22.:24:32.
:24:32.:24:34.

word! Warrington's defence hangs on. Hop! Hoc scores. A second opinion

:24:34.:24:44.
:24:44.:25:04.

will be sought, but it looks like has found a bit of a gap and

:25:04.:25:14.

Farrell is off. Just put down, but he has... Laurent Blanc has scored!

:25:14.:25:19.

The referee's happy. One or two questions here as to whether Liam

:25:19.:25:26.

Farrell actually play the ball. Very quick to his feet, the referee

:25:26.:25:29.

says play on. Michael Laura Bechtolsheimer masking no further

:25:29.:25:39.

questions. Here comes Morley. So five tackles from here. Warrington

:25:39.:25:47.

looking to make a big impression if they can. Briers hurling it wide.

:25:47.:25:56.

Here's Monahan. Terrific, absolutely terrific! Confirmation

:25:56.:26:00.

is being looked at again here but look at this for a finish.

:26:00.:26:09.

Wonderful dive, no doubts about the grounding. Some moments deserve to

:26:09.:26:12.

be legitimate for their sheer brilliance and that was one of them.

:26:12.:26:19.

Nothing wrong with that. Jol Monahan the eye-catching scorer.

:26:19.:26:24.

Ryan gigs and Michael Carrick, the two Manchester United players a

:26:24.:26:30.

month to the watching crowd tonight. 21,267 is the official attendance.

:26:30.:26:38.

The referee has given a penalty to Warrington. Timely for their point

:26:38.:26:44.

of view, the hooter has sounded. Not square at the marker. Hotson

:26:44.:26:49.

with a chance to level things up as they go into the break -- Hodgson.

:26:49.:26:59.
:26:59.:27:10.

with real brilliance. Over the halfway line. Here goes Tomkins.

:27:10.:27:16.

Watson is beaten, Tomkins still going. -- Hodgson is beating.

:27:16.:27:20.

Tomkins can't get it away. There were players in attendance and if

:27:20.:27:26.

he passed it, surely Wigan would have scored, but he held on and

:27:26.:27:36.
:27:36.:27:36.

Warrington hang on. Still a decent position, though. This is A flower.

:27:36.:27:46.
:27:46.:27:46.

Some solid defending on that Warrington line -- this is Flour.

:27:46.:27:53.

Carmont, Richard! Try! That position set up by Sam Tomkins. Pat

:27:53.:28:00.

Richards with a simple finish. Some super centre play by Carmont, by

:28:00.:28:05.

the way. But this is where it all began. Tomkins from behind the line

:28:05.:28:11.

making mincemeat of that Warrington defence. He had so many auctions to

:28:11.:28:16.

pass here. He thought he could do the job himself -- so many auctions.

:28:16.:28:20.

Stopped in the end but it was all academic because right at the last,

:28:20.:28:26.

Carmont with a wonderful pass here and Richards with the score.

:28:26.:28:32.

Tomkins steps out of the way. The ball is back on the inside. Grasped

:28:32.:28:37.

by Finch out of thin air. Flower. Morley holds him down. A penalty

:28:37.:28:44.

has been given! Too much interference from Adrian Morley. He

:28:44.:28:49.

hung on when he should have been dropping off. So Wigan have made

:28:49.:28:59.
:28:59.:29:12.

the decision to go for two here. half. -- Lima. It has been

:29:12.:29:17.

intercepted, Lee Briers, ever the magician. It is a saunter to the

:29:17.:29:24.

try-line for Lee Briers. Leuluai trying to get back, but he really

:29:24.:29:30.

committed himself here, Briers. He read the situation perfectly. The

:29:30.:29:38.

veteran Welshman snaps it up and runs away. Warrington right back in

:29:38.:29:48.
:29:48.:29:57.

possession and a penalty has been given, a rather obvious penalty as

:29:57.:30:03.

well. Clearly more than one man in the tackle and he simply got over

:30:03.:30:11.

Looking for his second success of the night to give Wigan the lead

:30:11.:30:21.
:30:21.:30:32.

once more. Finding his form with the penalty has been given. It was

:30:32.:30:42.
:30:42.:31:03.

the tackle had been completed. He came in and arrested the man in

:31:03.:31:13.
:31:13.:31:33.

The match was described as absolutely enthralling, but a

:31:33.:31:38.

complete match. Was that fair? would agree with that. It was

:31:38.:31:42.

compelling to watch. Everybody loved watching it, but you have to

:31:42.:31:45.

say the ball-handling from both sides was not great. There were a

:31:45.:31:49.

lot of penalties and drop balls. Even though both sides were not

:31:49.:31:54.

great, it was a reasonable game to watch. In the end it was penalties

:31:54.:32:04.
:32:04.:32:04.

That was his first game back and what a kicker he is. He is free

:32:04.:32:10.

call under pressure. That was the difference, the goal-kicking.

:32:10.:32:15.

want to defend him on the one that is coming up. There are a few fists

:32:15.:32:19.

flying in and they were busy on the reports this week. What do you

:32:19.:32:25.

reckon? It looks terrible on TV, but when you have two players in a

:32:26.:32:31.

tackle like that, you find that it is the guy on the other end the

:32:31.:32:35.

swings around. The only thing you can really do... It would have

:32:35.:32:39.

looked worse if he had followed through with it. You can see that

:32:39.:32:45.

he let go. There is also their ability -- responsibility of the

:32:45.:32:47.

defender to make sure that no-one is put into that sort of dangerous

:32:47.:32:57.
:32:57.:32:59.

Fair to say you guys are doing it up at the moment. We are. We are

:32:59.:33:03.

not playing great to be fair. We set ourselves some very high

:33:03.:33:07.

standards last year. We are dropping too much ball. It is

:33:07.:33:12.

something we had spoken about and addressed. We are hoping we tied in

:33:12.:33:22.
:33:22.:33:23.

a few things up. There's a lot more As big games are coming thick and

:33:23.:33:28.

fast. Wigan last weekend and then we have St Helens this weekend. It

:33:28.:33:33.

will be interesting to see how we go. What you make about Wigan? They

:33:33.:33:41.

have already lost three this year. What the coach pulled over to begin

:33:41.:33:47.

was a new system to the lead. It was very direct and in-your-face.

:33:47.:33:50.

The defence has had a couple of years to look at what they do and

:33:50.:33:56.

how they deliver it. Look at a key individuals and target them. Sam

:33:56.:34:02.

Tomkins is a big indicator as to where the ball is going. They are

:34:02.:34:08.

able to deal with it a little bit better this time. All teams are

:34:08.:34:14.

having the control in the ruck. should give backbenchers -- Pat

:34:14.:34:21.

Richards a mention. He passed 2000 points. Sensational for a winner. I

:34:21.:34:24.

like to call the muscly linesman because you have these guys in the

:34:24.:34:27.

middle of the bark that a doing all this work India the pretty boys out

:34:51.:34:54.

work, but his great with the boot if it had been eight football match,

:34:54.:34:59.

it would have been called a six- pointer. A huge win. A classic case

:34:59.:35:09.

They have been working really hard. They go the win a couple of weeks

:35:09.:35:14.

ago against Wigan. This proves they are not just a one-game team. They

in get a couple of wins on the board. A very this can be the

springboard for them to get the confidence to win a few more.

reports. He played a couple of games for us last year and that a

:35:34.:35:40.

bad be injury, but now he is fit and ready to go. The club thought

:35:40.:35:44.

it would be good for him to go elsewhere and get game time. He has

:35:44.:35:48.

been absolutely sensational. The club rate him very highly. This

:35:48.:35:52.

would do in the world of good, getting a bit of experience in the

:35:52.:36:01.

Super League. What you make of London though it? They played

:36:01.:36:06.

bravely against Wigan. By the looks of it, one of the things they need

:36:06.:36:09.

to do is they do not seem to have a problem scoring tries, it is the

:36:09.:36:19.
:36:19.:36:23.

defending they have a problem with. You can see it happen where markers

Hang on, I think we have found out Well, what a time of. Unbelievable.

:38:35.:38:43.

No penalties. Fantastic from the Wakefield wild cards. 41.93 seconds.

:38:43.:38:49.

As Good As It gets. They are on top of the leaderboard. Have you seen

:38:49.:38:53.

anything like that before? Surely no-one can be thrown them after

:38:53.:39:03.
:39:03.:39:07.

Anything you buy to add to that? do not think I can. I think re-

:39:07.:39:12.

enacting Baywatch is clearly the way to win the next week. It is all

:39:12.:39:19.

about consistency. That is what we were looking for from them. They

:39:19.:39:24.

were back with a win this week. final game to complete the

:39:24.:39:32.

weekend's highlights, breadth and - - Bradford welcome Salford. I think

:39:32.:39:38.

we got will drop last week so there was a bit of soul-searching during

:39:38.:39:45.

the week. Probably disappointing for Bradford at who were winning

:39:45.:39:52.

early on. I was with them on Friday evening. He was talking about what

:39:53.:39:56.

he was trying to get out of the players. I think he will be really

:39:56.:40:00.

disappointed with that. Bradford are doing it really hard. They have

:40:00.:40:06.

13 players out with injuries. After their performance last week against

:40:06.:40:10.

St Helens and how they had been performing over the recent past, I

:40:10.:40:13.

think we would have been looking for a lot more consistency than

:40:13.:40:18.

what was on offer. Talking about players being back. This one is

:40:18.:40:26.

back. He looks good. It was unfortunate he got the injury, but

:40:26.:40:33.

looking at this game there is a couple of tries. They are

:40:33.:40:40.

entertaining. He looks like a terrific signing. They are in the

:40:40.:40:44.

right half of the table, they just need to stay there. You live in the

:40:44.:40:49.

area, how important is it too had suffered doing well? I always keep

:40:49.:40:53.

a lookout for them to do well. I went to check out the new stadium

:40:53.:40:58.

last weekend. It is absolute the fantastic. If they can get a

:40:58.:41:03.

successful team, the crowds will flock there and it will be a

:41:03.:41:09.

vibrant rugby league city. Robbie, what you make of the performance

:41:09.:41:13.

though? Just in terms of their defence. They seemed to lose it

:41:13.:41:19.

again. They seem to be falling away. It was interesting to see that they

:41:19.:41:23.

are creating a very basic sort of system. The coach has had to do

:41:23.:41:28.

that because the players are dropping left, right and centre.

:41:28.:41:33.

They are having to glue a very simple game plan together with each

:41:33.:41:43.

A big win for Salford, let's see where the city Reds and everyone

:41:43.:41:52.

Changes at the top and the bottom this weekend. Warrington had moved

:41:52.:41:57.

back to the summer after their win against Wigan. Hulme of up to third

of at the weekend because the Super League action is all on Friday and

:42:10.:42:15.

Saturday. Leeds meet Huddersfield. Wigan make the short trip to

:42:15.:42:23.

Salford. And the newly revived St Helens are away to Warrington.

:42:23.:42:30.

Saints for you next weekend. Paddy prepare for a game like that?

:42:30.:42:33.

are the games that you don't need much preparation for. They take

:42:33.:42:38.

care of themselves. We will do everything that we normally do. The

:42:38.:42:42.

fact that it is one of the biggest games on the calendar will be

:42:42.:42:48.

pretty exciting. You could not scripted any better. They had been

:42:48.:42:52.

up and down. They are up at the moment and we are top of the table

:42:52.:42:58.

so it should be a classic. We are all looking forward to it. That's
