:00:28. > :00:30.Hello, the first prizes of the season have been handed out,
:00:31. > :00:32.and rugby league minds are now firmly focussdd on
:00:33. > :00:41.We started the weekend with three rounds of the regular season
:00:42. > :00:49.remaining, and a set of six teams chasing first place.
:00:50. > :00:57.It is one to live long in the memory.
:00:58. > :01:40.All that to come, plus a Hull derby too ` Huddersfield's Eorl Crabtree
:01:41. > :01:43.and Mark Flanagan of St Heldns are here to steer us through
:01:44. > :01:48.It's six years since St Heldns last won a trophy, and they were at Leeds
:01:49. > :01:57.on Friday night just six daxs after the Rhinos lifted the Challdnge Cup.
:01:58. > :02:06.The 130th Challenge Cup fin`l, whatever happens today,
:02:07. > :02:08.the friendly final, and we have a terrific story.
:02:09. > :02:31.Hall dragging defenders with him, goes over and scores.
:02:32. > :02:46.Wembley memories are finallx made of this.
:02:47. > :02:49.St Helens could put one hand on the League Leaders Shield with
:02:50. > :02:53.They are fresh, they have h`rdly played in this last month.
:02:54. > :02:55.Due to their lack of involvdment in the Challenge Cup.
:02:56. > :02:58.Leeds, of course, hoping to show that their feet are back on firm
:02:59. > :03:01.ground, after lifting the Challenge Cup a week ago at Wembley Stadium.
:03:02. > :03:08.This is a big match for them tonight.
:03:09. > :03:11.A couple of their key players involved last week,
:03:12. > :03:18.Ward and Singleton coming in on the bench.
:03:19. > :03:20.St Helens, still with that well`documented injury crishs.
:03:21. > :03:23.The likes of Walsh, Lomax and Wilkin still not there,
:03:24. > :03:27.but Lance Hohaia's back in the starting line`up.
:03:28. > :03:37.In the starting 13 For St Hdlens tonight.
:03:38. > :03:45.Lost the ball just inside the Leeds half.
:03:46. > :03:50.So the penalty goes to St Helens.
:03:51. > :03:57.Mark Percival is ther man who has got the kicking duties
:03:58. > :04:02.with four minutes played, looking to give them an early lead,
:04:03. > :04:16.On the right`hand side, quickly rushed out to Watkins.
:04:17. > :04:19.St Helens; defence is responding well enough just at the momdnt.
:04:20. > :04:34.The referee is asking for the replay to see how that ball came loose
:04:35. > :04:47.Richard Silverwood says pen`lty for Leeds.
:04:48. > :05:15.That defensive line is going to be tested again.
:05:16. > :05:20.A little bit too much going on in the tackle after it was complete.
:05:21. > :05:22.Kevin Sinfield having electdd to kick for goal,
:05:23. > :05:24.looking to tie things up ag`in in front of
:05:25. > :05:32.Ten minutes played now. It is two points apiece.
:05:33. > :05:44.He might have lost consciousness as well.
:05:45. > :05:52.A big hit by Bailey, who just took him round the waist.
:05:53. > :05:54.And the shoulder there, of Joel Moon, has caught Percival
:05:55. > :06:07.Joel Moon is sent off with barely 18 minutes played.
:06:08. > :06:14.Look at the shoulder, the referee has decided that's
:06:15. > :06:22.And Percival looking nonplussed as well.
:06:23. > :06:35.And too much of a delay for the referee.
:06:36. > :06:48.Kevin Sinfield looking to add another two and he gives Ledds
:06:49. > :06:51.the lead for the first time despite being down to 12 men.
:06:52. > :07:07.They have got some lively rtnners including Watkins, who off`loads
:07:08. > :07:15.Keeping it alive, Delaney across the line, Sutcliffe,
:07:16. > :07:19.puts the footwork on, he's going to get there.
:07:20. > :07:26.The first try of the night for either side, and despitd having
:07:27. > :07:50.Hardaker on for Delaney. it is St Helens who concede.
:07:51. > :07:56.Leeds with Sutcliffe, he's dropped it, he's lost ht.
:07:57. > :08:01.And the referee again has given Leeds the penalty.
:08:02. > :08:04.And you can see that Hohaia had his hand on the ball
:08:05. > :08:13.This will be nearly the last act of the first half,
:08:14. > :09:45.Kevin Sinfield looking to add another two, four kicks out of four
:09:46. > :09:51.Behind the 40 metre mark when he lets that fly.
:09:52. > :09:59.Hardaker got there but he c`nnot stop it from going out of play.
:10:00. > :10:00.It gives St Helens terrific position.
:10:01. > :10:10.Glancing right and left, puts it back.
:10:11. > :10:27.What a big moment this is, not only in the context
:10:28. > :10:51.this? Try given, and with a kick under the sticks, St Hdlens are
:10:52. > :11:02.Next try, next score, wins this game, you would have thought.
:11:03. > :11:04.Hohaia all the way back, he's got the time to get
:11:05. > :11:11.St Helens might just have snatched the win.
:11:12. > :11:26.And St Helens surely now with one hand on the League Leaders Shield.
:11:27. > :11:51.What's it like to be in the middle of a game that dramatic?
:11:52. > :11:54.Those are the kind of games you want to be involved in.
:11:55. > :11:57.And Leeds have been great m`tches, they beat us by one point
:11:58. > :12:05.Are you focused on picking tp that of that league leader's shidld?
:12:06. > :12:07.Yes, I think at the start of the season that was one
:12:08. > :12:11.You have to finish high in the play`offs.
:12:12. > :12:15.Being on top of the other teams is quite important.
:12:16. > :12:18.We have a big game this week at Warrington, against Warrhngton,
:12:19. > :12:22.And if we can pick up the whn there, we should go far.
:12:23. > :12:24.The big talking point is obviously the sending`off.
:12:25. > :12:26.Did you see it when you run the pitch?
:12:27. > :12:32.I think the shoulder charge was out years ago for reasons like this
:12:33. > :12:36.It is very easy to get someone on the chin or the jaw
:12:37. > :12:38.And unfortunately, Matt Percival was knocked ott.
:12:39. > :12:43.There isn't too much doubt when you see it back, is thdre?
:12:44. > :12:46.He is not being malicious and what he does.
:12:47. > :12:51.In a sense, that is what makes it so bad because he is not evdn
:12:52. > :12:58.Leeds' response, particularly given the Challenge Cup and all that has
:12:59. > :13:02.taken out of them, that must have taken it out of them, it was pretty
:13:03. > :13:05.You think the emotional and physical levels would bd lower
:13:06. > :13:08.coming into this game and it did not seem like th`t.
:13:09. > :13:10.Going down by an extra man hs so difficult
:13:11. > :13:17.I have been in that position myself and gone on and have won gales.
:13:18. > :13:21.I think that's what Leeds possess in abundance, really.
:13:22. > :13:24.They are absolutely fantasthc the way they work for each other.
:13:25. > :13:27.Given all the injuries you have had, and the injuries to key plaxers
:13:28. > :13:29.are you guys slightly surprhsed that you're top of the tabld?
:13:30. > :13:32.I think it has been well`documented in the last few weeks,
:13:33. > :13:37.And we have kind of had to change the way we play a little bit.
:13:38. > :13:40.But I think there is character in our team as well.
:13:41. > :13:42.And some players have steppdd up this last few weeks.
:13:43. > :13:45.Jordan Turner has played a different role and done wdll and
:13:46. > :13:49.And he just directs us around the park.
:13:50. > :13:52.Have you had to change the way you play with Luke Walsh out?
:13:53. > :13:55.The way Luke played, there was a lot of emphasis
:13:56. > :13:58.on him taking control of thd team and with him out of the teal,
:13:59. > :14:01.we have got two half`backss and a loose forward with a kind
:14:02. > :14:05.I think the last two weeks we have gone pretty well with the ndw system
:14:06. > :14:08.and the longer we play with it, the better we will get.
:14:09. > :14:11.Warrington, you talked about, and Huddersfield.
:14:12. > :14:17.We have talked about it, we're not allowed to run at each other!
:14:18. > :14:20.I think I will come off better from that one!
:14:21. > :14:23.Wigan played just two fixtures in August, the second of whhch was
:14:24. > :14:26.And it was play`off chasing Widnes who made the better start,
:14:27. > :14:34.A lot of people complain but you cannot complain at that one,
:14:35. > :14:37.it is a great start by Widnds, showing straightaway that they want
:14:38. > :14:39.to be involved and to disturb the Wigan te`m.
:14:40. > :14:41.Brown with the big, wide pass to Patrick.
:14:42. > :14:45.And it seemed like Widnes wdre in control, here.
:14:46. > :14:48.They seemed to dominate the game but there were was a lot of silly
:14:49. > :14:51.errors, bad penalties given away by Wigan and I think that is what they
:14:52. > :14:55.The fact that discipline cost them points and Danny will
:14:56. > :15:10.And off the back of that, you cannot confound a penalty with
:15:11. > :15:13.an error, kicking out on the forward is just not accdptable.
:15:14. > :15:17.And with that field position, it was Widnes' opportunity to score
:15:18. > :15:19.Kevin Brown at the centre of most things.
:15:20. > :15:22.Wigan had their opportunitids as well, a bit of scrappy play.
:15:23. > :15:23.The Widnes defence not quite getting there.
:15:24. > :15:26.And then the wing going into the corner with
:15:27. > :15:29.a great finish and he managds to ground the ball in the corndr.
:15:30. > :15:32.Again, you thought that Wig`n, at any point, could get into this
:15:33. > :15:36.Widnes were keeping them at arm s length for most of the game.
:15:37. > :15:41.I think he will be disappointed with that effort.
:15:42. > :15:46.Again, Kevin Brown, instrumental in what they do.
:15:47. > :15:52.It was a bit of a shocking drror, really, there.
:15:53. > :15:55.He needs to be knocking that and the celebration sums it up, really.
:15:56. > :16:11.And going into the final part of the game with 12 men isn't
:16:12. > :16:15.And that might just have bedn the straw that broke the camel's back.
:16:16. > :16:18.It was some effort from Widnes to nail Wigan in that second h`lf?
:16:19. > :16:20.Yes, like we said, Kevin Brown is in fine form.
:16:21. > :16:22.The big cutout passes that he does so well.
:16:23. > :16:26.And I think Danny Tickle got Man of the Match because he did some
:16:27. > :16:30.And with the boot as well, you cannot give him too manx
:16:31. > :16:34.Widnes have been one of the stories, haven't they, of the season?
:16:35. > :16:37.Yes, but I think at the same time they will be
:16:38. > :16:39.disappointed that they haven't done even better because they have been
:16:40. > :16:42.in some great positions and they obviously kept doing really
:16:43. > :16:45.But putting teams like Wigan away just shows that they
:16:46. > :16:47.could do anything they wantdd in Super League.
:16:48. > :16:50.I think it has been a fantastic year for them.
:16:51. > :16:52.Again, Wigan had some terrible penalties at the end.
:16:53. > :16:55.I am not sure about that ond, that one was a little bit dtbious,
:16:56. > :16:58.So, Widnes taking one step closer to the play`offs.
:16:59. > :17:06.Let's find out what everyond else was up to in round 25.
:17:07. > :17:10.If you're watching in black and white, keep watching,
:17:11. > :17:15.the Friday night lights shining on Derby night in Hull.
:17:16. > :17:22.There was Wembley heartache but can the Cats stay on Super League
:17:23. > :17:24.course against buoyant Bradford And season over?
:17:25. > :17:25.Not quite. Wakefield and Salford make one
:17:26. > :17:37.last push for the play`offs. Warrington made it all the way
:17:38. > :17:40.to the Grand Final last season. Their play`off campaign included
:17:41. > :17:42.a home win against Huddersfheld Well, the Giants were back there
:17:43. > :17:46.on Thursday after having lost the There is the prize that is
:17:47. > :17:55.on offer for somebody at thd end And one of these two may
:17:56. > :17:58.very well be lifting it. Warrington and Huddersfield,
:17:59. > :18:06.Warrington tonight, with thd absence of Stefan Ratchford and Chrhs Bridge
:18:07. > :18:13.sees the return of Richie Mxler And Faiumu and Leroy Cudjoe
:18:14. > :18:28.both returning to the team. Joe Wardle and Brett Ferres
:18:29. > :18:34.amongst those who miss out. It is going to be held up
:18:35. > :18:42.but not too far away. Huddersfield's defence is good here
:18:43. > :18:49.at the moment but it has to be. Out of the clutches of a cotple
:18:50. > :19:04.of Huddersfield defenders, Just under 20 minutes played
:19:05. > :19:07.and Warrington get the first points Huddersfield have put themsdlves in
:19:08. > :19:25.a decent position, it is a decent Well, they are on onside,
:19:26. > :19:48.no problems there. It is just about the groundhng,
:19:49. > :19:51.really, and that should be fine Parity restored
:19:52. > :19:58.when the kick goes over, surely Lovely little delicate kick
:19:59. > :20:02.by Brough. Crabtree leading
:20:03. > :20:16.in the first instance. And Ta'ai is given the pass`ge
:20:17. > :20:29.through the Warrington line. Charged down,
:20:30. > :20:38.that was judged by Hill. Another centre had a go but
:20:39. > :20:41.the pass from Lunt was exquhsite. The right`hand side finding Cudjoe
:20:42. > :20:52.with a little bit of space. And he has got support
:20:53. > :20:59.on the right flank. The kick into
:21:00. > :21:02.the goal area was just about up And Huddersfield are turning
:21:03. > :21:06.the screw, here. And Warrington are feeling
:21:07. > :21:10.the pressure, He is going to go
:21:11. > :21:32.for it himself here, Shaun Lunt He does it so often but he hs
:21:33. > :21:37.so often unstoppable. And it is another Huddersfidld try,
:21:38. > :21:41.three in eight minutes. That has put them in control
:21:42. > :21:45.of this game. Determination and battling
:21:46. > :21:47.but Warrington's defence will be Sashaying through that defence
:21:48. > :21:59.and taking Huddersfield verx close. Danny Brough is going to
:22:00. > :22:04.put it over the top. Who manages to escape sever`l
:22:05. > :22:32.defenders and puts it now for What a terrific drive
:22:33. > :22:47.from Huddersfield. Created by a man who has had
:22:48. > :22:50.a fantastic game here tonight. Dancing away from defenders
:22:51. > :22:56.and then setting it up for But it is still 23`6
:22:57. > :23:19.in Huddersfield's favour. That is good from him
:23:20. > :23:24.to set up this position, here. Touchdown by Ryan Atkins,
:23:25. > :23:30.he is in and is this the st`rt They were being dominated
:23:31. > :23:39.by Huddersfield. But they have just got
:23:40. > :23:44.themselves back in the game. Two tries in six minutes
:23:45. > :23:56.and it is game back on again now. Warrington back within
:23:57. > :23:59.touching distance. Ben Harrison finding
:24:00. > :24:02.a way through here. Listen to the roar now,
:24:03. > :24:11.Warrington fans suddenly believing. Michael Monaghan,
:24:12. > :24:17.dragged down but close. Stepping away,
:24:18. > :24:20.he is going to be caught. The ball has been knocked down out
:24:21. > :24:27.of the tackle so a penalty here It looks as though he is well
:24:28. > :24:49.short there, doesn't it? Well, you can hear
:24:50. > :24:56.the referee saying it ends tp on the line so the fact that it is short in
:24:57. > :25:00.the first instance doesn't latter. It got there without
:25:01. > :25:04.any double movement. The second of the night for him
:25:05. > :25:23.and how big a moment is that? Well,
:25:24. > :25:31.he has hurt himself in the `ttempt. And Rhys Evans is clearly
:25:32. > :25:37.in a bad way. There will be some real concern
:25:38. > :25:48.here. A matter of moments left
:25:49. > :25:57.in the game. We should just say that, th`nkfully,
:25:58. > :26:41.Rhys Evans is OK. We talked about the drama again
:26:42. > :26:44.yours was reared because the momentum seemed to lurch
:26:45. > :26:46.one way to the next. Both teams had momentum and
:26:47. > :26:51.at one point we thought we could confidently go ahead
:26:52. > :26:53.and win the game because we were The second half was
:26:54. > :28:45.like a landslide. The Huddersfield forwards h`ve to
:28:46. > :28:56.take a lot of credit becausd Shaun is only able able to do this because
:28:57. > :29:00.the front row of Huddersfield gets And that gives him time and space
:29:01. > :29:07.to run and take people on. It is the same for most,
:29:08. > :29:11.James Roby plays well. The Huddersfield team have to
:29:12. > :29:14.take some credit as well. It seems like when
:29:15. > :29:18.the ball gets there and thex are flying, they are flying, but they
:29:19. > :29:21.make it look messy, don't they? Yes, I think the game on Thtrsday
:29:22. > :29:23.showed that. They were pretty poor in
:29:24. > :29:26.the first hour but then thex scored I think Warrington are the type
:29:27. > :29:31.of team that there is a lot of offloads and off`the`cuff
:29:32. > :29:34.players and when they are hot, they are really hot and when thex are not
:29:35. > :29:38.so much, I think it showed hn the We have seen Warrington,
:29:39. > :29:41.Huddersfield, Leeds and Wigan dropping pohnts
:29:42. > :29:44.and that left Castleford as the only team who can catch
:29:45. > :29:48.St Helens at the top the table. They had to beat Bradford to stay
:29:49. > :29:51.in the race. You were impressed with how they
:29:52. > :29:54.reacted to the Challenge Cup defeat? I was, it was tough to come
:29:55. > :29:59.back after a loss at Wemblex. A game
:30:00. > :30:01.like that is maybe the highlight You can see them going over
:30:02. > :30:06.for the try, though. The middle part of the field
:30:07. > :30:12.for Castleford has been brilliant. Along with Lynch and Hughes with
:30:13. > :30:16.his ballplaying skills and Clark. He announced he was going to
:30:17. > :30:22.Warrington at the end of thd season It is tough, you have been there,
:30:23. > :30:27.to pick ourselves up? Yes, I think that what is what has
:30:28. > :30:31.been so impressive about thdm. We talk about player rust,
:30:32. > :30:33.as it were. At the beginning of the season,
:30:34. > :30:36.the fact that they have got No real standout names
:30:37. > :30:41.but the fact that they have worked so well together and so hard,
:30:42. > :30:44.it is just that work ethic. They seem to be a family,
:30:45. > :30:50.like Massey as well, stepping up, big carriers, off`loading and
:30:51. > :30:53.the way they play is just so fluid. The way they pass the ball, it is
:30:54. > :30:57.just very hard to defend ag`inst. They have been very successful
:30:58. > :31:00.and they have played the right way. This try going in, they havd played
:31:01. > :31:03.some great stuff and they used to be called Classy Cass and they are
:31:04. > :31:16.warranting that name again. Bradford were better in the second
:31:17. > :31:22.half, great to show them showing that talent? Lee has got lo`ds of
:31:23. > :31:26.talent and was unearthed. Hd scores the hat trick in that game `nd he is
:31:27. > :31:33.very sharp with a very good kicking game. As he gets older he bdcomes
:31:34. > :31:37.more consistent. Do you think you can get that consistency? Hd is
:31:38. > :31:42.somebody that everybody has known about for ages. He put in some
:31:43. > :31:44.performances against Wigan hn big matches and he was by far the Man of
:31:45. > :31:47.the Match. He has matches and he was by far the Man of
:31:48. > :31:53.the Match. played a lot of stand`off and full`back because he is very
:31:54. > :31:55.good off`the`cuff play. And that from Clark was lovely? Look at that
:31:56. > :32:00.speed! You have talked
:32:01. > :32:05.about him going to Warrington. And Gayle has announced that
:32:06. > :32:07.he's going to Castleford. That could be a smart bit
:32:08. > :32:14.of business. I'm sure that a lot of clubs have
:32:15. > :32:17.looked at Luke Gayle before. It is something we
:32:18. > :32:20.have talked about. He should fit in really well, and
:32:21. > :32:26.make sure that he enjoys hilself. The biggest crowd
:32:27. > :32:29.of the week was at the KC Stadium on Friday night for the third
:32:30. > :32:33.and final Hull derby of the season. The Red and Whites have had
:32:34. > :32:39.the better of it so far this year with two wins, so it threatdned to
:32:40. > :36:00.be a long winter for the Bl`ck and Whites if they couldn't get
:36:01. > :36:05.anything from this one. The Derby is one of the biggest in the g`me and
:36:06. > :36:10.they are very passionate about Rugby League over there. Even with those
:36:11. > :36:16.teams not doing well. Interdsting from Bradford, if both teams and
:36:17. > :36:21.that, who knows what would have back `` what would have happened all
:36:22. > :36:25.season? We got turned over puite easily and they totally domhnated
:36:26. > :36:30.us. That is what happened the other day and that is what is verx
:36:31. > :36:35.disappointing. They can put in this performance, just not very often and
:36:36. > :36:42.on paper they have a great side and we have got them coming up. I would
:36:43. > :36:45.expect to see a different tdam. One of those performances they will
:36:46. > :36:54.really rip into. Buried as ` body with Hull KR, Christiansen was
:36:55. > :37:01.announced. `` really disappointed. It does make you look in thd murder,
:37:02. > :37:06.and that probably makes plaxers more accountable for their actions. I
:37:07. > :37:12.would not be surprised if I saw a very big reaction this week. There
:37:13. > :37:16.is not much to play for? Thdy will try to get into the play`offs, but
:37:17. > :37:22.at this time you have to be hitting form to hit those running and make a
:37:23. > :37:24.big difference. Despite that, Rovers have an outside chance of m`king the
:37:25. > :37:31.top eight, Wakefield were looking good against Salford on Sunday?
:37:32. > :37:41.Exceptional performance, thdy have really stepped up. Andrew showing
:37:42. > :37:45.greater speed. He has come out of retirement to play the last ten
:37:46. > :37:52.games of the season but he `ctually had some injuries. Wakefield
:37:53. > :37:55.absolutely dominated. The celebrations every time. And they
:37:56. > :38:05.have had a lot of players coming back from injury also. He w`s
:38:06. > :38:11.absolutely fantastic. Perhaps they thought Salford had given up? He may
:38:12. > :38:14.be needs to be the main man. I have been at Wakefield and he has been
:38:15. > :38:25.the player who has been in control, marshalling, he certainly w`s. It is
:38:26. > :38:29.ironic that he was a star of the show against his former club. It
:38:30. > :38:34.might have been a case of not being the main man at Salford. He has gone
:38:35. > :38:41.back to Wakefield and everything runs around him and he has shown in
:38:42. > :38:46.this match just how good he is. The only driver Salford, the ch`irman
:38:47. > :38:51.was pretty harsh on Twitter? This is not what they want to see? They got
:38:52. > :38:57.roasted at the start of the season and for one reason or anothdr, it
:38:58. > :39:04.has not worked out. I am a very big believer in team spirit and I think
:39:05. > :39:09.next year it will be 12 months, they will be better off and thosd
:39:10. > :39:14.combinations will work and they will hopefully turn into a very good
:39:15. > :39:17.team. We talk about team sphrit There is a problem when you publicly
:39:18. > :39:21.criticise your own players hn front of the coaches and the owners, I do
:39:22. > :39:25.not think that is the right way to go about it. It needs to be
:39:26. > :39:30.in`house, look in the murder but make constructive criticism. You
:39:31. > :39:35.know that you need to step things up in whatever department but for the
:39:36. > :39:45.public, that is no not the right way of going about it. Let us move on to
:39:46. > :39:50.Catalan Dragons against London and London will be hugely disappointed?
:39:51. > :39:53.Their first win of the season? Yes, they were going for two in ` row but
:39:54. > :39:56.that is a tough place to go. they were going for two in ` row but
:39:57. > :40:06.that They showed what a good team they are at the moment. Gre`t try
:40:07. > :40:13.with that flick pass. One of the best back`up layers in the
:40:14. > :40:17.competition. More often than not, it leads to a try. Catalan will have to
:40:18. > :40:19.go away in the leads to a try. Catalan will have to
:40:20. > :40:24.go away play`offs and they `re better at home? It is the toughest
:40:25. > :40:28.place to go in Super League because every time you go there, thd change
:40:29. > :40:30.in environment and the change in environment and the changing hotel,
:40:31. > :40:35.it makes you feel fatigued. They have gone there thinking, wd have
:40:36. > :40:38.won one of the games in the season and with poor defence and mhssed
:40:39. > :40:43.tackles, they would just not good enough. Catalan played extrdmely
:40:44. > :40:48.well but another point I had to make was players have been possibly told
:40:49. > :40:53.they will not be playing for the rest of the season. Like Leon Pryce,
:40:54. > :40:59.you need that experience, why would you drop one of the better players?
:41:00. > :41:04.That is not something I agrde with. Catalan have a good team but they
:41:05. > :41:09.need that experience. Catal`n touched us up over in Francd earlier
:41:10. > :41:13.in the year and he was instrumental. He is an old head who has bden there
:41:14. > :41:19.and done that and got the T`shirt, he will be invaluable to thdm. Can
:41:20. > :41:26.Catalan do damage in the pl`y`offs? I hope not! They possibly whll, it
:41:27. > :41:31.depends what teams turn up. We have the issue of going over there and
:41:32. > :41:36.they have the same problem coming over to England. It does make a
:41:37. > :41:42.difference, it really does. At home we absolutely annihilated them, they
:41:43. > :41:47.were not the same team. It hs check the latest standings in the Super
:41:48. > :41:52.League table... The Saints need just one point from the remaining two
:41:53. > :41:56.matches to claim the shield for the first time since 2008. Castleford
:41:57. > :42:01.are the only team who can overtake them. Catalan and witness jtst did
:42:02. > :42:06.one point to secure the plax`off places. Saints and Warrington is on
:42:07. > :42:15.Thursday. Wigan play Leeds on Friday. And there are five fixtures
:42:16. > :42:19.on Sunday. Join us at 11:35pm next Monday night for highlights from all
:42:20. > :42:23.of those matches with a repdat showing on Tuesday lunch tile on BBC
:42:24. > :42:30.Two and you can of course c`tch us all week on the iPlayer. Kevin
:42:31. > :42:33.Sinfield announced this evening that he is retiring from international
:42:34. > :42:37.Rugby League. He has been a great servant to his country and says he
:42:38. > :42:42.can play at that level still but, like Peacock, he reckons he could
:42:43. > :42:47.prolong his career if he dods not play for his country? Is a lassive
:42:48. > :42:51.loss because he is a great captain and leader and especially for
:42:52. > :42:56.leaves, his best promises h`ve been for the Leeds Rhinos. I think it is
:42:57. > :43:00.the right decision, I have done the same thing but not through choice!
:43:01. > :43:04.Doesn't make the huge difference to not have the international career?
:43:05. > :43:09.Looking at Jamie Peacock ovdr the last 24 months, that has shown that,
:43:10. > :43:14.yes, but Kevin is a different player, but his leadership for
:43:15. > :43:18.England has been brilliant `nd hopefully he can continue to do that
:43:19. > :43:24.for a bit longer. He will bd hard to replace? You know what, with Steve
:43:25. > :43:30.McNamara, I was not sure th`t he wanted to play him in the fhrst
:43:31. > :43:33.place. When he is leading, he is fantastic, he controls the game
:43:34. > :43:38.They don't want to lose that there will be other players to fill the
:43:39. > :43:43.place but they have a mightx task. And we will need a new capt`in is
:43:44. > :43:51.Mike I might throw my hat into the ring! Will you back him up? Mark for
:43:52. > :43:56.the captain? Yes! Gentlemen, thank you for the company. Don't forget,
:43:57. > :43:59.Saints against Warrington and Wigan versus Leeds next week. Join us for
:44:00. > :44:12.that, if you can. Goodbye. MUSIC: "Changing"
