:00:00. > :00:30.Hello, the curtain has come down on Public Accounts Committee sa
:00:30. > :00:35.Hello, the curtain has come down on Super League's regular season for
:00:35. > :00:38.2013. The top eight teams are heading for the play-offs, the rest
:00:38. > :00:41.are heading for their holidays. Leeds' Danny McGuire and the former
:00:41. > :00:44.St Helens coach Ian Millward have checked in to see how everyone got
:00:44. > :00:47.on in the final round of matches. Some were playing for position,
:00:47. > :00:58.others were playing for pride. Here's what's coming up. It is a
:00:58. > :01:03.grand finale to the regular season and block buster closing for Wigan
:01:03. > :01:13.and Leeds. Warrington are looking for a repeat of formance at Catalan.
:01:13. > :01:17.And the league-leading part in town for the final fixture for the
:01:17. > :01:21.Bradford will. 15 years ago Wigan and Leeds played in the very first
:01:21. > :01:23.Grand Final at Old Trafford, and they're amongst the favourites to
:01:24. > :01:26.return there next month. The Warriors and Rhinos met on Thursday
:01:26. > :01:36.knowing they'd finish third and fourth in the table, but in which
:01:36. > :01:41.order? Dave Woods was watching. They are still juggling for third and
:01:41. > :01:47.fourth place. We can hold it at the moment. But they will be looking for
:01:47. > :01:53.a win and get some form in the league before the play-offs begin
:01:53. > :01:56.next week. Leeds will be pretty happy with the way it is going at
:01:56. > :02:03.the moment. Getting some of their injured players back. And they will
:02:03. > :02:24.be fresh for an assault on the defence of their title.
:02:24. > :02:40.Carl Ablett, has he got this all down? The referee is asking for the
:02:40. > :02:44.double movement here. The ball hits the ground short and then he reaches
:02:44. > :02:48.out so it will be a double movement. Now try and a penalty for
:02:48. > :03:18.Wigan. Ben Jones-Bishop with the
:03:18. > :03:28.interception! It has been tough for 23 minutes but suddenly a superb try
:03:28. > :03:35.by Ben Jones-Bishop. He read it well. A long reach of the arm and
:03:35. > :03:40.then the legs hopped in quickly and even the chasing Sam Tomkins was not
:03:40. > :04:03.going to get there. And Pat Richards is away! And two
:04:03. > :04:12.minutes before the break, we can have their score. Level again, with
:04:12. > :04:45.a kick to come. It has been an intense battle tonight.
:04:45. > :04:58.And Carl Ablett scores the tri-! He had one ruled out in the first half
:04:58. > :05:06.and not this time. Joel Moon was the creator here. Just when it seemed
:05:06. > :05:11.that the move had ended, branding into a cul-de-sac of defenders, he
:05:11. > :05:36.flicked it away and Carl Abbott did the rest. -- Carl Ablett.
:05:36. > :05:47.Joel Moon for the corner! Has he managed to squeeze over? Too tight
:05:47. > :05:57.for the naked eye so the video replay is required. It looks OK from
:05:57. > :06:08.the front, what about the back post your mark -- from the back? He
:06:08. > :06:23.created one earlier for Carl applet. -- Carl Ablett.
:06:23. > :06:35.Peacock has had an immense night here again tonight. Rolling back
:06:35. > :06:48.years, as he seems to every week. Watkins scores! Kallum Watkins. The
:06:48. > :06:54.referee is asking a question. Was there interferes on Pat Richards? It
:06:54. > :07:05.looks more like Pat Richards trying to lock of the run of Ben
:07:05. > :07:13.Jones-Bishop. -- blog the run. It is two tries in five minutes that have
:07:13. > :07:22.the leads in absolute control. They are going to win this game and
:07:22. > :07:27.finish third in the league. You must be pretty happy with the win and
:07:27. > :07:33.where the team is at this stage in the season. Wigan is or is a tough
:07:33. > :07:38.place to go and get the win so we were very pleased. It was a very
:07:38. > :07:42.intense game. It was my second game back from injury and a bit of a
:07:42. > :07:48.shock to the system that we are pleased with how we have come
:07:48. > :07:53.through it. Do you feel everybody starting to see you step up at this
:07:54. > :07:57.time of year? That is the plan. You know that the play-offs around the
:07:57. > :08:05.corner and it is the right to hit top gear. That performance gave us a
:08:05. > :08:09.lot of confidence. We have to get Warrington, which is another massive
:08:09. > :08:15.away from home. It is a big challenge but something we have
:08:15. > :08:23.coped with in the past. On the flip side, their league form has really
:08:23. > :08:27.get. On our first show we talked about where Wigan would finish. We
:08:28. > :08:31.said if they could finish in the top for it would be an outstanding
:08:31. > :08:39.achievement. They lost a great front row. Their experience Centre. Citing
:08:39. > :08:45.they have done very well. When you play young guys there for long
:08:45. > :08:50.periods they do well early on. It takes a lot out of them at the back
:08:50. > :08:58.end of the year. The Challenge Cup takes a lot out of you. And they
:08:58. > :09:09.have missed some keep players. -- keep players. I think Shaun Wane has
:09:09. > :09:14.done a good job. I did not think they could finish in the top three.
:09:14. > :09:23.I think where they have finishes well I thought they would be. Epic
:09:23. > :09:31.for you, yet again, Jamie Peacock. Does he have your bed, not year? He
:09:31. > :09:39.cannot have my vote, because you cannot vote for your own players. On
:09:39. > :09:49.3090 was unbelievable and he has been like that all season. --
:09:49. > :09:53.Thursday night. If you're looking for an man of steel, you do not need
:09:53. > :10:00.to look any further than Jamie Peacock. And even more impressive
:10:00. > :10:07.against the backdrop of his father being so unwell and dying on Friday.
:10:07. > :10:18.He showed his commitment to the cause. He drove across Aberdeen and
:10:18. > :10:25.outstanding formance. It has been outstanding. Mike to favourite
:10:25. > :10:33.players have been Ben Westwood from Warrington and Jamie Peacock. There
:10:33. > :10:37.-- the reason is their ability to lift other players. They have that
:10:37. > :10:43.aggressive strike about them where they can hit just as hard at the
:10:43. > :10:46.back end of the game. I do have a soft spot for Jamie because I think
:10:46. > :10:51.he is a real inspiration to people in the game. It's not too long since
:10:51. > :10:54.there were doubts about St Helens making the play-offs. They've been
:10:54. > :11:02.pretty impressive in recent weeks, though, and were all over Hull on
:11:02. > :11:06.Friday. They are confident they can do something in the play-offs.
:11:06. > :11:14.History says she can win it from fifth position. We go back to that
:11:14. > :11:22.Challenge Cup syndrome. Hull got beaten. Next week, they have two
:11:22. > :11:30.win, they go to Wigan to make the play-offs. So I think emotionally,
:11:30. > :11:35.this third week was training. The Saints have been on a really good
:11:35. > :11:38.role. They have had the younger players over the last couple of
:11:38. > :11:49.years that have been able to blend in. But there are important players
:11:49. > :11:55.are starting to come back. And the coach saying that they are learning
:11:55. > :11:59.to play with Manu as well. They are. I think they are a team that can
:11:59. > :12:04.make the final from where they are. They are in form. I think the big
:12:04. > :12:19.problem for whole is that they have got to sit back as seen, where their
:12:19. > :12:23.squad is out. It is lovely stuff, isn't it? It is a great try. St
:12:23. > :12:27.Helen's were struck by injuries a little bit and they had to call upon
:12:27. > :12:30.the young players. It was great experience for the young guys, but
:12:30. > :12:34.it is coming into the play-offs and coming into the big games and you
:12:34. > :12:39.need your experienced players around. John Wilkins has been very
:12:39. > :12:43.good this year. There could be a real threat in the play-offs.
:12:43. > :12:50.You have had to deal with coming back from a Challenge Cup defeat.
:12:50. > :12:54.How deep do you have to dig? Losing a final is never good and you really
:12:54. > :12:59.put a lot into that and it does take you a few weeks to get over it. Hull
:12:59. > :13:04.are probably feeling tired and you know, it could be a tough play-off
:13:04. > :13:14.run. They need Gareth Ellis back on the field. He is a key player. I
:13:14. > :13:19.think it will be tough for Hull. They have almost gone under the
:13:20. > :13:24.radar? We were talking about were they gelling with Nathan Brown. They
:13:24. > :13:27.have got a lot of young guys. I really do believe they will be a
:13:27. > :13:30.force. That sorts out the top five places
:13:30. > :13:41.in the table. Let's get a check on the finishing form with the rest of
:13:41. > :13:44.the clubs dm -- in the Super League. Warrington are the visitors to the
:13:44. > :13:51.south of France. It is out with the old for the City
:13:51. > :13:56.Reds. And closing time, all the best
:13:56. > :14:02.moments from the rest of the matches in round 27.
:14:02. > :14:06.Some of the worst kept secrets in rugby league were confirmed last
:14:06. > :14:12.week when Salford revealed 12 new signings for 2013. The club will
:14:12. > :14:15.have a new name next year when Rangi Chase and Gareth Hock and Tim Smith
:14:15. > :14:20.will be at the club. It is all change at Salford. The
:14:20. > :14:23.City Reds began 2012 in a new stadium and in 2013 have been under
:14:23. > :14:26.new management. Looking to rebuild from the bottom on and off the
:14:26. > :14:30.field. On Thursday, the club revealed a new
:14:30. > :14:41.identity. The Salford Red Devils with fighting talk from the top.
:14:41. > :14:46.Other big clubs came to our club and took the best talent have gone.
:14:46. > :14:51.I want to take the club somewhere and I just wanted to be part of
:14:51. > :14:55.that. With a few of the players that were coming that you heard of, you
:14:55. > :14:59.want to be part of something fresh and new and that's what it is. I'm
:14:59. > :15:03.just looking forward to being around these blokes and just building, you
:15:03. > :15:08.know, relationships on and off the field and making friends.
:15:08. > :15:15.Quite a few people laughed at us early in the season when we went for
:15:15. > :15:18.the very big names. But it was not a publicity stunt. I wanted to send
:15:18. > :15:23.that message straightaway. That's what we are go about and people have
:15:23. > :15:27.started believing in this message, but today is delivering on the
:15:27. > :15:32.promises or starting to deliver on the promises I made to the fans back
:15:32. > :15:37.at the end of January. Next year is going to be a very exciting time for
:15:37. > :15:40.us. There is just a massive buzz and there is a lot of players I know
:15:40. > :15:44.here anyway and that's one of the reasons I came and I'm really
:15:44. > :15:48.excited. The ones who have signed up are
:15:48. > :15:52.really impressive. I have an idea of who we would like to play next year
:15:52. > :15:59.and we have the personnel to do that. I'm not going to throw
:15:59. > :16:03.everything away to play Fiji-type rugby and in many respects the
:16:03. > :16:06.better teams are the ones that can defend to the best of their
:16:06. > :16:10.abilities that do or die type of stuff. I'm clear in what I want to
:16:10. > :16:14.achieve and con he canning the players, it will take a while for
:16:14. > :16:18.them to get together. We still have room within the club.
:16:18. > :16:22.I believe there will be one or two more players still to come.
:16:22. > :16:25.Danny, looking on from the outside, what do you make of what is
:16:25. > :16:30.happening at Salford? I think it is great for the game. I think he has
:16:30. > :16:33.come in and like we were just talking about, the publicity that he
:16:33. > :16:38.has brought to the game has been great for the game and he talked
:16:38. > :16:42.about signings and Rangi Chase, Tim Smith, Adrian Morley, international
:16:42. > :16:45.players, great players as well and he is building a team. He is
:16:45. > :16:50.serious. He is very serious and it will be interesting to see how they
:16:50. > :16:54.go next season and they have the makings of a great team.
:16:54. > :16:59.What do you make of the signings and there will be mo are? Oh, Brian has
:16:59. > :17:07.done a great job. First of all, he had to get some experience. He got
:17:07. > :17:14.that. Adrian Morley and you look at his back row.
:17:14. > :17:27.Hock is world-class. Junior Sa'u is a very powerful
:17:27. > :17:35.player. He will be ideal for here. So they have got the mix right.
:17:35. > :17:43.I think he bought really well and someone asked, they asked do you
:17:43. > :17:47.reckon it will take a while for them to gel? Brian will be loving it.
:17:47. > :17:50.They are good quality players and they will make a big impact on the
:17:50. > :17:53.Super League. And Smith and Chase in the middle
:17:53. > :17:57.will be the key? That's the interesting bit. Tim Smith is
:17:57. > :18:01.dominating. He gets the ball when he wants. He is the person that
:18:01. > :18:05.Wakefield mrartion look to dictate play and Rangi Chase at Castleford
:18:05. > :18:09.everything comes through him. It will be interesting to see how their
:18:09. > :18:13.dynamics work. Are you insin waiting they are going
:18:13. > :18:18.to play with two rugby league balls? They will probably need it. That
:18:18. > :18:23.will be interesting to see how their combinations work. Well, Salford's
:18:23. > :18:26.last game was against an inform whiched whiched and the Vikings
:18:26. > :18:32.spoiled the party for Salford, didn't they? Whiched whiched had a
:18:32. > :18:35.descent season. They are not one of the biggest squads. I like some of
:18:35. > :18:42.the young players they have got and they finished the season on a high.
:18:42. > :18:47.Yeah, I think they are looking good. They have progressed the last few
:18:47. > :18:51.seasons and they are improving and I think they missed Kevin Brown for a
:18:51. > :18:58.vital part of the season and he was key to their form at the back end.
:18:58. > :19:04.I was just going to say, you look at all Super League teams, when Hock
:19:04. > :19:11.has been out, you think what does he bring? He brings size. At the start
:19:11. > :19:16.of the year, they would have earmarked 20 points, 22, it is an
:19:16. > :19:20.improvement on last year. It has been fantastic, but it just shows
:19:20. > :19:23.again the inability of some teams once they lose key players to
:19:23. > :19:28.function. We are about to see a lovely moment.
:19:28. > :19:37.Did you know that Gareth Hock had this in his arsenal as well? That's
:19:37. > :19:43.not an easy kick. He could shut his eyes and hope for the best! I reckon
:19:43. > :19:46.someone said, " You can open your eyes, Gareth." He is moving on, but
:19:46. > :19:50.he has been great. He is a really good player.
:19:51. > :19:55.That's why he will play for England in the World Cup and give them an
:19:55. > :20:02.advantage. Danny has to defend on an edge and they want to run big blokes
:20:02. > :20:16.like him. Gareth Hock has size and physicality and he has been good.
:20:16. > :20:20.Salford's defeat gave London a chance to well.
:20:20. > :20:23.London have won their last two games and there is speculation behind the
:20:23. > :20:31.scenes where they will be next year. Once a team lose, they are play
:20:31. > :20:42.makers and the people who organise attack and they had both out. Even
:20:42. > :20:45.though they went upfront 18-0 they didn't have the people that could
:20:45. > :20:50.control the game and continue with the momentum and London were
:20:50. > :20:58.desperate. They had people retiring like Mark Bryant. They wanted to get
:20:58. > :21:03.off the bottom. I think Hull KR ran out of troops and they had more
:21:03. > :21:07.quality and desire, London. Brown is another one who came
:21:07. > :21:14.through the ranks. He got a hat-trick. They are developing
:21:14. > :21:17.players, but the sad thing is they can't develop fans or an interest,
:21:17. > :21:21.but they have a good network and they have a good organisation to
:21:21. > :21:27.develop players and you know, that's the thing that keeps them alive in
:21:27. > :21:30.rugby league at the moment. But they are getting head-hunted by people up
:21:30. > :21:35.north now. You look at London. You fear that,
:21:35. > :21:40.if you get a group that can come through together? They have done
:21:40. > :21:44.fantastic things. Louis McCarthy were the first ones to come through
:21:44. > :21:48.and set the standard and they keep developing players that are good
:21:48. > :21:55.athletes. I really like Kieron Dixon on the wing. He could do a real good
:21:55. > :22:01.job. You know, I have a mixed views on London. It is tough to go there
:22:02. > :22:05.and the fans, they don't get a massive crowd.
:22:05. > :22:08.It is hard. It is probably for another day a chat about London, but
:22:08. > :22:10.you can't argue with the London based players they have brought
:22:10. > :22:14.through. Their future is up in the air. Talks
:22:14. > :22:18.are ongoing and they are making staff redundant to make it a better
:22:18. > :22:23.proposition to buy. The noises coming out are they will be in Super
:22:23. > :22:31.League next year. It looks like they will do a deal with barnet FC. They
:22:31. > :22:36.have a handful of players left and a coach and a CEO and that's it.
:22:36. > :23:46.Catalan were hoping Saturday's match down. We don't want to see a team
:23:46. > :23:48.Catalan were hoping Saturday's match against Warrington wouldn't be their
:23:48. > :24:16.final home game of 3013. Well, it is a Guard of Honour for
:24:16. > :24:21.two mans who maybe bowing out. Catalan are hoping for another home
:24:21. > :24:22.game, but they need to win or draw against this Warrington side tonight
:24:22. > :24:33.who will finish second. A test in rain for both these sides
:24:33. > :24:38.tonight. It has been raining heavily throughout the afternoon.
:24:38. > :24:48.Oh, that's quick. And here is a chance for for Ryhs Evans. A video
:24:48. > :24:53.referee is being called in to see if he had a foot in touch here, Rhys
:24:53. > :24:59.Evans. And that would suggest he has got
:24:59. > :25:04.there before he goes over the line. So an opening try for Warrington.
:25:04. > :25:10.They used the conditions especially at the end here and Evans sliding
:25:10. > :25:24.over. It was a good try. And westwood, well as he got the
:25:24. > :25:30.touch down here, Ben westwood doesn't look over sure. The referee
:25:30. > :25:38.is certainly far from confident. Now does he manage to touch this
:25:38. > :25:46.down? Not clear from that angle. How about this? Well, that suggests it
:25:46. > :25:54.is. It has been ruled. No try. So Warrington denied.
:25:54. > :26:08.The rain continuing to fall here. There was a collision there. The
:26:08. > :26:10.referee says play on. They are complaining, I think, here about the
:26:10. > :26:23.obstruction. Is that obstruction?
:26:23. > :26:35.Or is it allowed to play on? The referee said play on.
:26:35. > :26:42.Warrington have their second. Was there a knock on from Ben Westwood
:26:42. > :26:44.as he tried to pick it up? Well, clearly referee and video referee
:26:44. > :26:55.say no so it is a try. The third try before the break would
:26:55. > :27:04.surely put Warrington in control here. Oh, it is intercepted. Now
:27:04. > :27:08.Evans is chasing after him. And just before the break the French side are
:27:08. > :27:24.back in this game. Well, they know how important this
:27:24. > :27:39.moment will surely be. A really important try that.
:27:39. > :28:06.Never likely to be an open flowing game given the conditions.
:28:06. > :28:14.The touchdown is clean and Catalan are suddenly in position to give
:28:14. > :28:23.themselves a home game in the play-offs. Steve Menzies is the hero
:28:23. > :28:29.of the hour. What the moment and what a turnaround in the game. They
:28:29. > :28:43.were trailing by ten but now Catalan have the chance to lead.
:28:43. > :28:49.Reilly in the corner and Warrington are back in the lead! A superb pass
:28:49. > :29:06.from Hodgson. As it stands, Warrington finished
:29:06. > :29:13.second at Catalan finishing seventh. Just under ten minutes left to play
:29:13. > :29:23.here. Westwood has come in and the penalty is given. And a penalty mind
:29:23. > :29:35.do. It was rather clumsy from the Warrington man and a clear penalty.
:29:35. > :29:51.He's missed it! And with that Miss, it might be the end of Catalan hopes
:29:51. > :29:59.of a final home game. It seems Warrington are already in
:29:59. > :30:03.play-off mode. Warrington the like they have played at half came there
:30:03. > :30:06.and I saw some comments that Tony Smith made about it being a play-off
:30:06. > :30:12.type game with lots of kicking and good defence. To get Catalan and get
:30:12. > :30:19.the win they will be pleased. Looking forward to playing them next
:30:19. > :30:22.week? Yes, I was enjoy playing Warrington, they are a good team and
:30:22. > :30:31.we have had some good tussles with them in recent years. It turned out
:30:31. > :30:38.to be the final home game in the wonderful career of Steve Menzies.
:30:38. > :30:44.He has been magnificent. He scored more tries than any NRL forward, and
:30:44. > :30:52.spent more tries for his club than any other. If you are as trout -- a
:30:52. > :30:57.scout for a coach and you are going to game recruiting, if he did not
:30:57. > :31:04.know how old he was, you try to sign him tomorrow. That is a great clip
:31:04. > :31:10.from Adrian, warrior who respects another warrior. He is very calm
:31:10. > :31:16.headed and players love being around him. They are the great people in
:31:16. > :31:22.our game that we need to keep. How do you feel that Laurent Frayssinous
:31:22. > :31:32.has done in his first season in charge? I think he has done a great
:31:32. > :31:37.job. He has had many players out for long periods drawing the year. The
:31:37. > :31:41.way he has presented himself has been well. He has conducted himself
:31:41. > :31:49.in interviews and has knock-off flustered. I think they can do to
:31:49. > :31:53.halt with confidence. They played you guys to week before, they have
:31:53. > :31:58.played Warrington, I think they are ready to beat Hull. You get the
:31:58. > :32:04.feeling that whole have set their stall out to get back to the Grand
:32:04. > :32:08.Final. Obviously they are determined, losing the Grand Final,
:32:08. > :32:12.it is not the best feeling. There are a few players leaving at the end
:32:12. > :32:16.of the season and they will be pretty determined. But the seven
:32:16. > :32:21.other teams up Robbie just as determined. That is the excitement
:32:21. > :32:24.of the play-offs. I cannot wait for your cane next week! Try telling the
:32:24. > :32:27.supporters of Wakefield and Castleford that there was nothing to
:32:27. > :32:30.play for in their derby match on Sunday. It was the third meeting
:32:30. > :32:34.between the teams this season, and with one win apiece so far, this
:32:34. > :32:42.turned into a classic battle for bragging rights. Both sides were
:32:42. > :32:47.anxious to allow their own supporters to end the season 's top
:32:47. > :32:55.dogs by recording a win. Wakefield will be happy with you not have to
:32:55. > :32:58.off-load to many more players. Castleford's winger raced for the
:32:58. > :33:09.first of four tries of the afternoon. The visitors were ten
:33:09. > :33:15.points to the good. It gave Tigers fans a taste of what they will find
:33:15. > :33:22.hard to replace next season. 40 minutes gone in the first half.
:33:22. > :33:34.Wakefield make a break and Frankie Mariano scores!
:33:34. > :33:41.A huge gap for James Clare. It is one of the biggest overlaps I think
:33:41. > :34:12.you will ever see. A brilliant tackle from ten metres.
:34:12. > :34:26.And they score to the left of the post!
:34:26. > :34:40.What a try from Frankie Mariano! Second the afternoon.
:34:41. > :34:50.James Clare completed his hat-trick to edge in front again. And Kyle
:34:50. > :35:00.Trout will send Wakefield into the lead! Wakefield extended their lead
:35:00. > :35:12.early in the second half. Liam Kay went over, on course for his first
:35:12. > :35:16.Super League hat-trick. Weller Hauraki, back from the sin-bin,
:35:16. > :35:34.reduced the deficit down to two points.
:35:34. > :35:57.Ali Lauitiiti has levelled the game!
:35:57. > :36:02.It was tainted Lee Smith to win the game but his kick hit the upright so
:36:02. > :36:15.the spoils with a shared. But would they?
:36:15. > :36:26.Liam Kay to win the game! And he has! His hat-trick has won the game
:36:27. > :36:31.for the Wakefield Wildcats! That was quite some performance from
:36:31. > :36:34.Wakefield given the backdrop of all the financial worries and not know
:36:34. > :36:39.what their futures are. the financial worries and not know
:36:39. > :36:43.what They have had a tough few weeks and to come out of but the
:36:43. > :36:47.performance in a game that is not really mean anything, both teams not
:36:47. > :36:52.going for the play-offs and no relegation. You can see their that
:36:52. > :36:57.both teams were going hell for leather trying to get the win.
:36:57. > :37:02.Wakefield stash it in that last minute in exciting circumstances. A
:37:02. > :37:07.lot of credit has to go to the players. For Castleford that was it
:37:07. > :37:14.for Rangi Chase, very special player. Had you play some online
:37:14. > :37:18.that? You're not going to play someone with that skill. He brings
:37:18. > :37:24.something to the game which is unpredictable and which unlocks
:37:24. > :37:28.defences. You talk about foot or players are training, I have seen in
:37:28. > :37:35.deep tricks are training where you go wow, unbelievable. They may have
:37:35. > :37:38.to change the style of play to adapt to new people. He has given great
:37:38. > :37:43.service to Castleford he does not need there aren't any bad terms.
:37:43. > :37:46.Huddersfield had already secured pole position for the play-offs, the
:37:46. > :37:49.League Leaders were at Bradford on Saturday night, Paul Anderson rang
:37:49. > :37:58.the changes, so this result was no surprise. There has been a bit of
:37:58. > :38:05.criticism about Huddersfield's team, but my opinion is they have earned
:38:05. > :38:12.the right to rest the players. I have no issues with that. It gives
:38:12. > :38:15.the youngsters an opportunity. Although Bradford played pretty well
:38:15. > :38:23.and won convincingly I think it is good experience for their young
:38:23. > :38:28.players. I imagine the young lads will gain a lot of experience.
:38:28. > :38:34.Perhaps not the best game to have on television. I endorse everything
:38:34. > :38:39.Danny says there. I have done it that many times! At the end of the
:38:39. > :38:44.day, you start training in November and you set goals. One would be to
:38:44. > :38:52.be the most consistent team, and they have done that. That has been
:38:52. > :38:56.then begin treatment. And imagine if they said would be great if we could
:38:56. > :39:01.Super League. He has gone to his chairman and size this is a heavy
:39:02. > :39:07.trade and we played Thursday, , I think this is the best way to
:39:07. > :39:11.prepare to win the trophy. The chairman says, I have faith in you,
:39:11. > :39:15.and that is the way it is. The fans have to understand that they are at
:39:15. > :39:21.Old Trafford and picking that trophy, and creating history,
:39:21. > :39:30.trophies mean a lot, they create 1's own great legacies. A quick word
:39:30. > :39:35.about Bradford. They needed a win to send their season off, times it has
:39:35. > :39:40.been disappointing. They are on a really good run. All the uncertainty
:39:40. > :39:45.about what happened at the end of last season with Bradford and still
:39:45. > :39:50.going on today. I think they have done a good job. They had a bad
:39:50. > :39:55.patch in the middle part of the season but I think it has been a
:39:56. > :40:02.pretty positive season. In turn the squad they probably like if you
:40:02. > :40:09.players. Jarrod Sammut has been an exciting player. Yes, he has been
:40:09. > :40:12.very good for Bradford. I think when they look back on the season they
:40:12. > :40:20.will probably think they have not done too bad. Super League needs
:40:20. > :40:22.Bradford to be strong. They are recruiting for next year.
:40:22. > :40:24.done too bad. Super League needs Bradford to be strong. They are They
:40:24. > :40:30.have got a new owner who has been very supportive. They will improve.
:40:30. > :40:32.So, 189 games have been played over the course of the last
:40:32. > :40:42.seven-and-a-half months. Let's get a final check on where everyone
:40:42. > :40:51.finished in the Super League table. The play-off places are occupy seven
:40:51. > :40:55.of the teams who are there in 2012. Salford got a two point penalty for
:40:55. > :41:09.fielding 14 players against Castleford. You can follow the
:41:09. > :41:14.play-offs all the way to the Grand Final with highlights on BBC Two
:41:14. > :41:20.every Sunday tea-time. Join us for the best members of the first round
:41:20. > :41:26.matches. Danny, you're geared up and ready for the play-offs? Yes, it is
:41:26. > :41:34.what you look forward to, these deep, intense games. Everyone is
:41:34. > :41:40.looking forward to it. Who is going to be in the Grand Final? I think
:41:40. > :41:45.the two best teams are deleted and white and I think they will have two
:41:45. > :41:55.play each other twice. I will go for Warrington. You don't sit on the
:41:55. > :42:05.fence! I think leads are better equipped than last year. And you
:42:05. > :42:11.will just echo what he says! Apart from Warrington winning! That's it
:42:11. > :42:14.for this week, and indeed for the season as far as the Super League
:42:14. > :42:17.Show is concerned. My thanks to Danny, Ian and everyone else who has
:42:17. > :42:21.contributed over the course of the series. We'll be back in February,
:42:21. > :42:24.and leave you with some of Super League's defining images of 2013.
