:00:37. > :00:47.landscape, it has been a great weekend for some fans, one to forget
:00:47. > :00:48.
:00:48. > :00:51.for others. Jamie Peacock is alongside Ian Millward. Our guests
:00:51. > :01:01.will give us their views which included second against third and a

:01:23. > :01:29.are going for back-to-back wins, but is set to be the new coach at
:01:29. > :01:33.Castleford. He is replacing yourself, you know. A good
:01:33. > :01:38.employment? They have talked to a lot of people
:01:38. > :01:41.and they have views on who should get the job. Coaches have had their
:01:41. > :01:45.view on whether it is a sustainable job. Daryl, probably from a coaching
:01:45. > :01:50.point of view, has moved into an area where he was failing earlier at
:01:50. > :01:56.Leeds. He went back and was coaching in the Championship at a good club
:01:56. > :02:00.who have supplied some good opportunities for him. We always
:02:00. > :02:07.look from a coaching point of view, you need time and experience and it
:02:07. > :02:13.gives him a great launching pad. You have worked with him at England
:02:13. > :02:16.level, what can he bring to the job? He is a calming influence. He has
:02:16. > :02:26.been a head coach on and off for 13 years, so he can bring that
:02:26. > :02:36.experience to Castleford. He needs to test himself in the top division.
:02:36. > :02:38.
:02:38. > :02:47.What kind of job is he taking on? They have got some exciting players.
:02:47. > :02:49.Their win yesterday typified that with some exciting players. The
:02:49. > :02:52.league is restructuring, so Castleford's got to restructure.
:02:52. > :02:54.What they can provide moving forward with their facilities. The squad
:02:54. > :03:01.need some experience and adding. Daryl has been speaking to them
:03:01. > :03:05.about that. He is looking forward to getting involved in it and getting
:03:05. > :03:07.back in the Super League and show where he was, and where he has come
:03:07. > :03:13.from. We will see how Castleford got on
:03:13. > :03:22.shortly. Round 14 got underway on Friday night. But now it is Bradford
:03:23. > :03:32.against Leeds. The Rhinos had five consecutive wins. They had memories
:03:33. > :03:33.
:03:33. > :03:36.of the 18-18 draw still fresh in the seconds on the clock. Whitehead is
:03:37. > :03:46.seconds on the clock. Whitehead is still going.
:03:47. > :04:04.
:04:05. > :04:14.Bradford Bull, not too many minutes left to play. Look at those
:04:15. > :04:16.
:04:16. > :04:24.celebrations. Sidler is in for the try! We know how much it means to
:04:24. > :04:28.the best of enemies. A 56th meeting tonight between these two. Bradford
:04:28. > :04:32.have the edge with 28 victories, Leeds not far behind with 24 in this
:04:32. > :04:42.fixture. And a few times there has been nothing between them, including
:04:42. > :05:17.
:05:17. > :05:20.the merable draw at Headingley this This is Kallum Watkins. Again. He is
:05:20. > :05:30.through the tackle. Now it is about pace and Watkins just avoids the
:05:30. > :05:31.
:05:31. > :05:38.last ditch effort and scores a quickly against Bradford. 24 seconds
:05:38. > :05:45.in the game at Headingley. Barely four minutes tonight. This is
:05:45. > :05:55.wonderful strength and athleticism and plenty of pace. I am sure the
:05:55. > :06:12.
:06:12. > :06:17.English coach will be looking at Leeds Rhinos. They have taken a
:06:17. > :06:27.stranglehold now. Delaney with the injection. Leeds Rhinos showing
:06:27. > :06:30.
:06:30. > :06:34.great composure. They have finally unpicked that scrambling defence.
:06:34. > :06:44.The Bradford owner not happy with the way things have started here, I
:06:44. > :06:53.
:06:53. > :06:59.still going! What is he doing here! Bradford, from deep inside their own
:06:59. > :07:09.half - they have given away a penalty. Obstruction, the referee
:07:09. > :07:24.
:07:24. > :07:34.They are suddenly back in the position And Karl Ablett twisting
:07:34. > :07:48.
:07:48. > :07:58.over for what he might describe as a best. The Bradford fans enjoying
:07:58. > :08:08.that a moment. The pantomime villain in chief making a run into his
:08:08. > :08:15.
:08:15. > :08:21.finish! There were a couple of high tackles there as he dragged himself
:08:21. > :08:31.over the line. Terrific effort, saw the gap and went for it. He still
:08:31. > :08:47.
:08:47. > :08:57.down to Paul MacShane. Shrugging off a couple of defenders. Danny McGuire
:08:57. > :09:19.
:09:19. > :09:29.will go to the video referee. The smile from Ryan Bailey suggests he
:09:29. > :09:31.
:09:31. > :09:41.thinks he has scored. That angle would back it up. Right on
:09:41. > :09:50.
:09:50. > :09:59.half-time, Ryan Bailey to give Leeds of space. So maybe a spark early in
:09:59. > :10:09.his second half? -- in this second half. Whitehead stopped, did well to
:10:09. > :10:29.
:10:29. > :10:33.offload it and there was the gap on the dummy will see him over! It is
:10:33. > :10:38.now two tries in the opening 13 minutes of the second half, so maybe
:10:38. > :10:48.there is a Bradford revival. Should be down to 14 points, the
:10:48. > :11:15.
:11:15. > :11:22.referee is going to have a look at this because there is a potential
:11:22. > :11:26.that he was actually tackled. Did he spin around out of the tackle? Is
:11:26. > :11:35.there a hand on him? That would suggest it was not a completed
:11:35. > :11:45.tackle. That shows he has got the ball down on the line. The video
:11:45. > :11:51.
:11:51. > :11:59.referee said it is good and another for Ablett tonight. I don't think
:11:59. > :12:05.there was a hand laid on him on either occasion. Hardly, anyway.
:12:05. > :12:15.Worked from the back of the scrum. They took Bradford's defends one-way
:12:15. > :12:20.
:12:20. > :12:28.Jamie Peacock has gone down and immediately you could see players
:12:28. > :12:38.from both sides reacting to this. He has twisted his leg, but there is an
:12:38. > :12:50.
:12:50. > :12:54.obvious moment of great pain. I blindside. Kear stepping back in.,
:12:54. > :12:58.No more than a consolation. A pleasing moment for the Welsh
:12:58. > :13:08.winger, his second of the night. But Bradford very much second best on
:13:08. > :13:08.
:13:08. > :13:14.Jamie, how are you? My knee is OK. I think they put some
:13:14. > :13:20.elastic in when they mended it last time.
:13:20. > :13:24.Six wins in a row since the draw at Easter, it is some run you are on.
:13:24. > :13:29.We have had some difficult games, as well. We probably felt it was a
:13:29. > :13:32.point lost because of Easter. We have played Catalan and Warrington
:13:32. > :13:36.and that run has been particularly good.
:13:36. > :13:46.Was that draw motivation? It was a bit, we wanted to go and
:13:46. > :13:54.
:13:54. > :13:58.win. Bradford did well to get back into the game. We scored 30 points
:13:58. > :14:01.in the first half. Hard to pick out one individual, but the Watkins try
:14:01. > :14:04.was spectacular. He had a few injuries, but it is great to see him
:14:04. > :14:08.playing well. He kept getting injured. But he is having a good run
:14:08. > :14:17.at it at the moment. We have Kallum Watkins, Zak Hardaker and Ryan Hall
:14:17. > :14:20.bringing the ball back. It gets our team on the front foot, and that is
:14:20. > :14:23.a wonderful try, and it would be great to see him in an England shirt
:14:23. > :14:26.at the end of the year. Is Ryan Hall claiming an assist on
:14:26. > :14:32.that one? He thinks he's got a try pass. But
:14:32. > :14:37.Callum did most of the work. We have seen him step up, and we
:14:37. > :14:41.always said he has a lot of class, Calum Watkins. But that run, can you
:14:41. > :14:44.see the consistency in his game? I can see consistency. I can see
:14:44. > :14:48.he's multiskilled. They've handled him well at Leeds. When he's been
:14:48. > :14:53.overexposed, they've put him back on the wing. He's a natural player with
:14:53. > :14:56.the ball. But defensively, you're going to be found out finchly with
:14:56. > :14:59.Super League teams and coaches. The amount of people in Australia that
:14:59. > :15:05.wants to talk about him as a real talent and Leeds have done fantastic
:15:05. > :15:08.getting him a longterm contract. If you look at the back three, we talk
:15:08. > :15:10.about the challenge cup game this week, that is where it can be won
:15:10. > :15:17.and lost. He is the excitement factor.
:15:17. > :15:20.Looking at Jared Sammut. He had a good season last season. He seems to
:15:20. > :15:26.be consistent for them. He brings unpredictable attack, but
:15:26. > :15:30.it's all skills. It has got to the stage now where he displays it on
:15:30. > :15:34.the right occasions. Before it was all over the shop when it suited
:15:34. > :15:41.him. I tried to buy him at the start of the year. I thought he was a
:15:41. > :15:46.really good player. Speaking to Mick Potter, they spoke highly of him
:15:46. > :15:56.defensively. Attacking wise with him and Kearney they are dynamic. You
:15:56. > :15:59.
:15:59. > :16:02.will have to defend well against them. I think Jarrod Sammut has
:16:02. > :16:04.matured this year as a player who has become not only a good,
:16:04. > :16:07.individual player, but a good team player.
:16:07. > :16:10.The difference between what's going on this year at Leeds and what
:16:10. > :16:12.happened last year. You were wobbling all over the place last
:16:12. > :16:16.year? It takes time for a coach and his
:16:16. > :16:19.systems to take time and work. We as a team don't want to finish fifth
:16:19. > :16:22.this year. We really don't. We said that last year. We finished fifth.
:16:22. > :16:30.This year we don't. A lot of players are playing well. Players will
:16:30. > :16:33.flourish through hard work and honesty. A lot of our players have
:16:33. > :16:37.those characteristics. It's showing in the way we're playing.
:16:37. > :16:40.Do you want to get the top spot? Are you aiming for Wigan or just about
:16:40. > :16:44.finishing better than you did? We want to finish higher up than
:16:44. > :16:50.before. If we can win a few more games in the next block, we will
:16:50. > :16:55.give ourselves the chance of finishing top.
:16:55. > :17:05.Well, it was second against third at the John Smith's Stadium on Sunday
:17:05. > :17:08.
:17:08. > :17:18.afternoon. It wasn't quite as close Robinson, he finds Jermain
:17:18. > :17:30.
:17:30. > :17:40.There was a buzz around the stadium points ahead of the Giants. As the
:17:40. > :17:43.
:17:43. > :17:46.game progressed Warrington began to dominate. Griggs lost possession in
:17:46. > :17:54.the 18th minute. Trent Waterhouse on hand to scoop up a gift and charge
:17:55. > :18:04.over the line to take the lead. From That is plucked off the floor, an
:18:05. > :18:13.
:18:13. > :18:19.absolute shocker, passed it straight Wolves extended their lead ten
:18:19. > :18:25.minutes into the second half. Quick hands from Ratchford and Westwood
:18:25. > :18:31.played in Hodgson. In a game littered with costly errors from the
:18:32. > :18:35.home side, there wasn't much that went Huddersfield's way. But a 54th
:18:35. > :18:43.minute slip from Chris Riley was pounced on by Kris Robinson. He
:18:43. > :18:48.scored on his debut. Any hopes of a Huddersfield blows final were dashed
:18:49. > :18:53.in the 68th minute. -- Huddersfield revival. Ryan Atkins rounding off
:18:53. > :18:55.the scoring. An out of sorts display the Giants will want to forget.
:18:55. > :19:03.the Giants will want to forget. Wolves are in the hunt for the top
:19:03. > :19:06.comfortable for Warrington? Some of the key players for them,
:19:06. > :19:14.the older players for Warrington really stepped up. Ben Curry is an
:19:14. > :19:17.outstanding young player. If you are a Warrington supporters at the
:19:17. > :19:21.moment you have to like it. At the start of the year, you thought wow
:19:21. > :19:26.this was going to be our year. They seemed off the pace. A good sign of
:19:26. > :19:35.the team in the mid-season and now getting into the rhythm. Waterhouse
:19:35. > :19:41.is starting to look threatening on the edge. They still have Briers to
:19:41. > :19:44.come back. Tony Smith saying it was their best
:19:44. > :19:48.performance of the season. Do you start to think they're starting to
:19:48. > :19:51.They're playing a lot better. They struggled a bit for form in the
:19:51. > :19:54.middle of the year. It's not won at the beginning of the year. They're
:19:54. > :19:57.coming into form now. They always play well against Huddersfield.
:19:57. > :19:58.They're a side that tend to beat Huddersfield every time they play
:19:58. > :20:04.them. Brett Hodgson passed 1,000 Super
:20:04. > :20:07.League points. He has been some 70 to the game, hasn't he? -- sums
:20:07. > :20:12.servant to the game. He's come over and really added to
:20:12. > :20:17.the competition. I think he's older than me! I had to get that in. He's
:20:17. > :20:21.older than me but he's been a fantastic player. He was great in
:20:21. > :20:24.the Challenge Cup. He was great for them.
:20:24. > :20:27.You take them on next week, I guess you feel confident, but it should be
:20:27. > :20:31.a corker. As a player you look forward to the
:20:31. > :20:34.Challenge Cup in the middle of the year. You get lost in the rounds of
:20:34. > :20:37.Super League and you want a game with everything on the line. It
:20:37. > :20:43.certainly is against Huddersfield. They beat us last time. It's great
:20:43. > :20:46.to play at their stadium. Looking forward to that. Danny Orr
:20:46. > :20:50.was in charge when Hull provided opposition on Sunday. It was a tight
:20:50. > :20:53.first half. Yeah, it was. It was a game where we
:20:53. > :20:59.played them in the first round and we got beat only by four points. It
:20:59. > :21:05.was a tight game there. Both teams have the habit of missing one on one
:21:05. > :21:11.tackles. This was prevalent in the game. It was interesting, Daryl
:21:11. > :21:20.Clark and Hubie came off the bench. They added so much. Chase was good
:21:20. > :21:25.with the ball. He must be hard to defend against, especially someone
:21:25. > :21:28.like Jamie and the forwards. They hung in. There the second half with
:21:28. > :21:31.the crowd getting behind them they got them to the end. There were a
:21:31. > :21:35.couple of good signs here. Especially with the way he's
:21:35. > :21:38.dictating and running them. It was a good win, especially with the new
:21:38. > :21:40.coach coming in. It gives him confidence coming in. It gives him
:21:40. > :21:44.something to bounce off with the confidence they play with.
:21:44. > :21:47.Do you have the feeling that Hull KR can't string a set of games
:21:47. > :21:51.together? They find it hard to be consistent?
:21:52. > :21:58.I think players struggle with the week-to-week consistency. That's
:21:58. > :22:01.what separates the good from the great players. I think they'll be
:22:01. > :22:10.saving themselves for the cup this week. They'll fancy themselves at
:22:10. > :22:17.home. It's difficult to play at Hull. They got walloped off Wigan
:22:17. > :22:21.last time. That's extra motivation. One of the keys to get all the good
:22:21. > :22:23.stuff with Chase, and we see later the bad as well. He's so key to the
:22:24. > :22:27.team. He's got to touch the ball more than
:22:27. > :22:32.anyone in the role he plays. He plays on the ball. The more you
:22:32. > :22:38.touch it you are susceptible to errors. It's also getting other
:22:38. > :22:41.players on his wave length. He can see space and things that are
:22:41. > :22:45.happening and he expects people to get into that part of the field.
:22:45. > :22:52.Look, I think he will be a delight to work with. I found him a delight
:22:53. > :22:56.to work with. He will still be the key. You want him creating things
:22:56. > :22:59.because for Castleford to move up the table, as much as you want to
:23:00. > :23:01.improve their defence, one on one and as a unit, you have to score
:23:02. > :23:11.points. Did this last week, that's the bit
:23:12. > :23:27.
:23:27. > :23:31.to cut out. drop out and maintain the pressure
:23:31. > :23:34.and build it. He's gone for the top shelf, and you learn that as you go
:23:34. > :23:36.along. Daryl Powell coming into that job,
:23:36. > :23:40.it's an exciting squad. What are his priorities?
:23:40. > :23:45.To keep them winning. They've won the last two.
:23:45. > :23:51.They lost to Salford. They beat Widnes and Hull.
:23:51. > :23:54.He needs to get the most out of his players. He has high quality players
:23:54. > :23:58.there. Getting the best out of them and see what he can do. He's got
:23:58. > :24:02.limited resources away from the field. I think he'll do a good job.
:24:02. > :24:12.New era about to begin at Castleford and still four games to catch up on
:24:12. > :24:12.
:24:12. > :24:22.continue against the fancied French? The secrets of Saints, we reveal all
:24:22. > :24:32.
:24:32. > :24:35.Super League season reaching the Wigan. They were a point clear at
:24:35. > :24:38.the top of the table going into the fixtures. They were comfortable
:24:38. > :24:44.winners against Salford. They're steam rollering teams at times.
:24:44. > :24:47.They have a simple structure. Everyone knows their roles. They
:24:47. > :24:52.have an outstanding fullback at the back when you create space and
:24:52. > :24:55.numbers. He has the ability to beat people. They have a mentality there
:24:55. > :25:02.which is brought through from the younger generation which has come
:25:03. > :25:05.through. Defensively and what's expected. The only thing we've spoke
:25:05. > :25:08.about they're probably getting too many easy games. Whether it's a
:25:08. > :25:11.Challenge Cup semifinal or Super League semifinal, the concern is
:25:11. > :25:21.being able to do this for 80 minutes. They went trophy-less last
:25:21. > :25:22.
:25:22. > :25:27.year. They are the best team at the moment. They are the most consistent
:25:27. > :25:30.team. I like the way Sean's coaching them. I love the way he's got them
:25:30. > :25:33.week in, week out. That's what we aspire for, consistency week in,
:25:33. > :25:36.week out. You look at Leeds over previous seasons, we talked about
:25:36. > :25:39.Warrington, you know, where are they at this stage? Where will they be at
:25:39. > :25:43.the back end of the season? There are missing links, but against
:25:43. > :25:47.Salford, Brian has a lot of work to do defensively. If you look at him,
:25:47. > :25:52.he will want to work more as a unit. He will put structures together
:25:52. > :25:56.there. Some blokes are going back, some forward, some sideways. If it
:25:56. > :26:04.was a dance competition, they're not all on the same page. That's where
:26:04. > :26:07.Brian has to improve first. You play them at magic weekend, are
:26:07. > :26:15.you hoping that they've had too many easy games, do you say, hopefully
:26:15. > :26:19.they're not ready for us? I don't think it's a great thing
:26:19. > :26:23.winning by that margin every week. It doesn't get you battle -hardened.
:26:23. > :26:30.Yeah, I'm looking forward to that game. It should be an exciting end
:26:30. > :26:34.to a great week. About that shoulder charge there? He might not be happy
:26:34. > :26:42.with that, but if your halves are playing at the line you will get
:26:42. > :26:46.contact. I will get physical with them, that is what happened there.
:26:46. > :26:56.Tomkins was key. He seems to be dancing through games like this.
:26:56. > :26:59.Yeah, he's a superb athlete. He can punish teams and spot opportunities.
:26:59. > :27:02.His ability to beat defenders is second to none. The form of St
:27:02. > :27:08.Helens has been talked about with four straight defeats since Easter
:27:08. > :27:17.Monday. Louis has seen it all from his front

:28:05. > :28:08.play. A win at Warrington was a good win. We have injures and a couple of
:28:08. > :28:11.suspensions now which don't help. But it's nothing to dwell on really.

:29:00. > :29:07.asking whether I've settled up here. I always answer yes, but I wish it

:29:25. > :29:30.was a bit of a boxer. He was a bit of a rugby player. A bit of a
:29:30. > :29:34.painter and decorator. He is my all-time hero, I think. Kieran

:29:40. > :29:46.are driven people. They know what they want and they will do it. A big
:29:46. > :29:53.shout out to my mate, Mark Flanigan. I think he walks around with a
:29:53. > :29:58.mirror in his back pocket. I think that's true. It's like one of them
:29:58. > :30:01.lady ones that clip out. He catches himself looking at himself like
:30:01. > :30:04.that. Targets for the season, I think, all the boys want to do is

:31:14. > :31:21.has been where the problem has been with Saints in the past couple of
:31:21. > :31:26.weeks. It is not that the young blokes have stood up and been

:31:48. > :31:58.Lomax is out, and Roby is out and they still have not been able to
:31:58. > :32:02.work out a half-back since Sean Long left. And that is the area where
:32:02. > :32:05.they need to be efficient and players. But what hurts you more
:32:05. > :32:08.than anything of the tries that they conceded. There has to be more
:32:08. > :32:11.leadership from the senior men. There is some naivety in the Defence
:32:11. > :32:19.from the younger ones. But it is not through lack of effort. I think
:32:19. > :32:29.there will come through very well. The younger guys will learn a lot
:32:29. > :32:30.
:32:30. > :32:33.and experienced blokes will rise up. I think they have come a long way.
:32:33. > :32:37.They played well at Wakefield and did not get the win. They are doing
:32:37. > :32:44.well in the league, to have five or six players out and win at St Helens
:32:44. > :32:48.is good. I don't think you can write St Helens off at the moment. I think
:32:48. > :32:55.if you can finish in the eighth, you can finish anywhere. When they get
:32:55. > :32:59.some players back, they will be a threat.
:32:59. > :33:01.I spoke a lot about Saints, but I cannot be little the performance of
:33:01. > :33:05.Widnes. Their away form has been awful. Home form has been
:33:05. > :33:15.outstanding. It is an amazing performance by players and coaches.
:33:15. > :33:17.History says the could not win it. If every person in this country
:33:17. > :33:19.follows rugby league, they wouldn't follows rugby league, they wouldn't

:33:33. > :33:34.
:33:34. > :33:38.opportunity. But they have a three to five-year plan. They have been
:33:38. > :33:40.very patient. We might get on to promotion and
:33:40. > :33:45.relegation. Wakefield were impressive against Widnes, and the

:34:40. > :34:47.
:34:47. > :34:55.little kick over the top. Cockayne! I think he has got this. The referee
:34:55. > :35:05.is asking for the video replay. Was there a little bobble of the ball?

:35:55. > :35:58.surely saved? What about that pass from Smith? Look at this. He looks
:35:58. > :36:08.one-way and pops it out the other. Cockayne was almost taken by
:36:08. > :36:18.
:36:18. > :36:23.surprise but the Defence definitely consolation. Barely worth
:36:23. > :36:33.celebrating for a Catalan, a good night's work for Wakefield. They

:36:49. > :36:52.-- Avi Honor Roll? I think that is what they will see themselves doing.
:36:52. > :36:56.Two good wins at Widnes, is difficult. They have got to keep it
:36:56. > :36:59.going. Maybe it was almost a little bit of a Gould at the start because
:36:59. > :37:03.people were looking for them in the way they came under the radar last
:37:03. > :37:07.year? It puts pressure on them. There was no pressure on them at the
:37:07. > :37:12.end of last year because they were on a roll. They have adjusted to it
:37:12. > :37:14.and now they are winning. A few people saying Catalan looked a
:37:14. > :37:17.bit disinterested? It was predominantly all French, which is
:37:17. > :37:24.great for their game, but when you take people out, the half-back,
:37:24. > :37:31.Jamie Peacock... Steve Menzies, the oldest in the
:37:31. > :37:35.league, older than Jamie Peacock... Look at Anderson, Brent Webb, about
:37:35. > :37:41.seven players out. They get a bit lost and they have to do a lot of
:37:41. > :37:44.trouble. -- they have to do a lot of travel. This week is important for
:37:44. > :37:47.them. They play York in the Challenge Cup, and it will give them
:37:47. > :37:51.a bit of confidence. They have been decimated with injury and the
:37:51. > :37:54.trouble. -- and the travel. They will always be vulnerable. It is not
:37:54. > :37:56.that they are disinterested, they are not at the same level so they
:37:56. > :38:03.are over exposed. Hopefully there will be some good
:38:03. > :38:07.players returning? He has been a fantastic player in
:38:07. > :38:17.the past couple of years. Scott is a leader. Brent Webb, maybe that is
:38:17. > :38:18.
:38:18. > :38:23.why they looked disinterested. But when they get some of those players
:38:23. > :38:27.we will see the true team. Scott will add to the team.

:39:18. > :39:20.Lee Crook's son, he has the size of his dad but has agility. They are a
:39:20. > :39:22.team with Holdsworth back and Ellis back, they have a different
:39:22. > :39:25.identity. You get these great players, and
:39:25. > :39:31.then they get injured. Ellis, you cannot underestimate the impact he
:39:31. > :39:34.will have. He will get an extra 5% out of the players round him. They
:39:34. > :39:39.will want to play up to his standard. He is that kind of
:39:39. > :39:42.inspiration. Although he might not set up tries, he will raise the team
:39:42. > :39:44.and make everybody else play well around him because of the standards
:39:44. > :39:47.he sets. You make a really good point. We
:39:47. > :39:54.talk about forwards creating space and momentum, you talk about
:39:54. > :40:01.Holdsworth. They have some real finishing touches there. Holdsworth
:40:01. > :40:04.is the icing on the cake. Look at all these tries. He has had the
:40:04. > :40:08.ball, committed defenders, seen this space. I can see big things down the
:40:08. > :40:13.track. Hull will be happy because they have
:40:13. > :40:15.had players out and they are still into the eight. They have a full
:40:15. > :40:20.team back now. A quick word on London, a
:40:20. > :40:23.consolation at the end. But they decided to quit and their mates and
:40:23. > :40:27.did not do their job. Too many blokes out there who were prepared
:40:27. > :40:34.to let their mates down? That is a pretty damning statement.
:40:34. > :40:38.You cannot get any more harsh words from your coach than that. That is
:40:38. > :40:46.something a coach might do privately but to do it publicly shows how
:40:46. > :40:54.upset he was. Tony was very upset. Is that a kindly did move to see it
:40:54. > :40:57.publicly? -- is that a calculated move.
:40:57. > :41:01.It is honest. Widnes had players out again St Helens. And they may feel
:41:01. > :41:05.the brunt of Bradford in the Challenge Cup. He has said, you have
:41:05. > :41:08.got to step up. It is damning from a coach to come out and say that. But
:41:08. > :41:12.it is humiliating for a player. We will see how they respond. Round

:41:42. > :41:46.cup on BBC One and BBC One H E at 2:15pm on Saturday afternoon. There
:41:46. > :41:48.was a big meeting last week to talk about the future of Super League and
:41:49. > :41:52.the structure of the tables. They are talking about two tables at the
:41:52. > :41:55.top. We won't get into too much detail, but I gave you a blank sheet
:41:55. > :41:59.as a player, what would you like to see them do?
:41:59. > :42:09.I have been waiting to be asked this! It is great they are doing
:42:09. > :42:13.
:42:13. > :42:19.something. I would like to see two leagues of 12, two Super League. We
:42:19. > :42:25.did have a salary cap at 2.5 million, but allowed people to buy
:42:26. > :42:28.two star players. But you could pay what every wanted for two
:42:29. > :42:33.superstars. But allow everyone to spend 1.5 million. You would have a
:42:33. > :42:37.top six play-off to end the season. And the bottom three from Super
:42:37. > :42:43.League One and the top three from Super League two could have a play
:42:43. > :42:46.off to see who goes up and who goes down. We have too many games where
:42:46. > :42:49.there is nothing on the mind and it doesn't matter if you win or lose,
:42:49. > :42:53.so that would improve. What would you do?
:42:53. > :43:00.I can see this country, it is in the culture of most sports. But I have
:43:00. > :43:04.also seen the fans being ripped off. At Castleford last year we decided
:43:04. > :43:10.to let a few players go after the last ten games. Is that good for a
:43:10. > :43:14.season ticket who buys a season ticket? If the stakes were higher,
:43:14. > :43:18.in the situation where he says, my team has got to stay in this league
:43:18. > :43:23.or it has to win to go to the next, I think it is important. The way it
:43:23. > :43:27.is coming out at the moment, there will be great opportunities. Keep in
:43:27. > :43:29.mind for clubs to go up or down, I think it will encourage more English
:43:29. > :43:33.players to play the game. The players from Australia and New
:43:33. > :43:35.Zealand won't come over because of the salary cap. The salary cap is so
:43:35. > :43:39.high in Austria and you're it is Will it encourage more English
:43:39. > :43:43.players? Not going to come back. Yes it will. We talk about players from
:43:43. > :43:46.St Helens, and Warrington. There are good players in the championship and
:43:46. > :43:49.that is an area we have to be pushing and breeding. Otherwise the
:43:49. > :43:54.game will stagnate. Jamie, are you confident what you
:43:55. > :44:01.get is what you want to see? I think it might be too complicated.
:44:02. > :44:06.A piece of advice given to me is, Keep It Simple stupid. That could be
:44:06. > :44:08.advice to some of the people running it. Make sure that people from
:44:08. > :44:13.outside of the game can understand what we are doing.
