:00:08. > :00:38.We have made it into the month of May. The fixtures look tasty in the

:00:39. > :00:40.next few weeks. Couple`macro of the biggest rivals are going

:00:41. > :00:44.head`to`head. News of a coaching change in London and we will find

:00:45. > :00:52.out who has been flying and flagging has a super league continues. `` as

:00:53. > :00:59.the super league continues. The favourites against the champions.

:01:00. > :01:03.Leeds against Wigan 's `` Wigan. They are heading in the right

:01:04. > :01:10.direction. Were they too hot to handle for the Salford Red Devils?

:01:11. > :01:11.Saint Helens looking to get back to winning ways, London Broncos at

:01:12. > :01:26.Langtree Park. The Castleford head coach has joined

:01:27. > :01:30.us, Daryl Powell with Jamie Peacock, die jesting the latest super league

:01:31. > :01:34.developments. They know all about battles between Leeds and Wigan. It

:01:35. > :01:36.has always been an intense fixture on the calendar and the latest

:01:37. > :01:49.meeting was at Headingley on Friday. They are big games. We do not

:01:50. > :01:53.underestimate them. We know there is a big challenge ahead. Everybody

:01:54. > :01:56.needs their best game on Friday. Winning or losing, we have to make

:01:57. > :02:09.sure we come out with something and we can say that was good.

:02:10. > :02:31.It will be interesting to see how Leeds adapt. And likewise, Wigan

:02:32. > :02:36.without a Loughlin. Underway for one of the matches of the season.

:02:37. > :02:41.Bateman bringing it back from the very first kick`off. Keeping it in

:02:42. > :02:47.play. I think he might have lost it here, actually. The referee has

:02:48. > :03:00.ruled that John Bateman has lost the ball. With the weight of the tackle.

:03:01. > :03:04.An encouraging start for Leeds. Bateman is still quizzing the

:03:05. > :03:11.decision that has gone against him. Stay calm. It will be with Leeds.

:03:12. > :03:16.Altercation between baked and Peacock as well. Clarkson had dummy

:03:17. > :03:25.half. Jamie Peacock with a drive. `` between Bateman. Very early stages.

:03:26. > :03:33.Kevin Sinfield. Measuring the cake. Ryan Hall is up there. McGuire! He

:03:34. > :03:37.will claim the try. The video referee will have to adjudicate

:03:38. > :03:42.here. It does make contact. It looks like it has gone backwards. Not much

:03:43. > :03:49.wrong with the grounding from Danny McGuire. A try is confirmed. A

:03:50. > :03:52.perfect start for Leeds. In the opening couple`macro minutes. They

:03:53. > :04:02.have taken advantage. Kevin Sinfield. Hardaker coming in

:04:03. > :04:11.from full`back. He will take them on the outside. Zak Hardaker. Wow!

:04:12. > :04:18.Well, again he has to be sure, the referee. Look at that. Look at that.

:04:19. > :04:29.Millimetre perfect from Zak Hardaker. Second try, Leeds. It was

:04:30. > :04:34.quite a piece of individual athleticism here from Zak Hardaker.

:04:35. > :04:43.Swerving and speed and what a finish. Michael Oram. Wigan looking

:04:44. > :04:52.to take up position if they can. Clough. Forcing his way close. At

:04:53. > :04:55.dummy half. He has got a way to go. Very good Leeds defending. Excellent

:04:56. > :05:03.Leeds defending on their line. Dummy half. Has he gone over? Well, the

:05:04. > :05:12.referee is asking for the second opinion again. Did he manage to

:05:13. > :05:18.ground this ball? It looks like he has done. 22 minutes played. Wigan

:05:19. > :05:32.have finally found a way through Leeds. Sheer determination.

:05:33. > :05:41.Sending it up for Wigan to chase. Ryan Hall catching it and swerving.

:05:42. > :05:53.It is opening up a little bit. He is still going. Still going! Moon. Joel

:05:54. > :05:58.Lynch. A thrilling escape by Leeds. `` moon. Moon.

:05:59. > :06:06.Stepped back on the inside by Sutcliffe. Ryan Hall down. All the

:06:07. > :06:13.momentum is with the side in blue at the moment. Kevin Sinfield. Alan

:06:14. > :06:20.Watkins. Wonderful hands. Briscoe! Wonderful footwork. It is a

:06:21. > :06:26.fabulous, fabulous try from start to finish for Leeds. Ryan Hall with the

:06:27. > :06:33.early release. Taking Leeds back and beyond the halfway line. Powerful

:06:34. > :06:41.and fast running. Look at the hands from Watkins. Very subtle. And a

:06:42. > :06:51.very good finish. It is a Leeds try. Saint field. `` Kevin Sinfield.

:06:52. > :06:55.Watkins. Whacked it downfield. A hit and they hope. And he picks it up

:06:56. > :07:08.again, Callum Watkins. Played onside. Peacock. Now it is Joel

:07:09. > :07:13.Monaghan. `` now it is Moon. Ryan Hall! What a try, Leeds. It had a

:07:14. > :07:22.little bit of everything here. We will see most of it again. Offside

:07:23. > :07:30.is clear. Watkins kicked and court. Not fumbling, according to the video

:07:31. > :07:36.referee. The grounding looks good. Confirmation is inevitable. Three

:07:37. > :07:45.minutes into the second half, Leeds extending their advantage. Watkins

:07:46. > :07:52.kicking and catching. Doing well to off`load. Peacock with a clean pair

:07:53. > :08:03.of hands. Mooncakes. Hall is onside. No problems at all with that. Moon

:08:04. > :08:08.`` moon kicks. Kevin Sinfield. Leeds looking wide again. Here comes

:08:09. > :08:14.Watkins. Briscoe has two kick. Going out of play. Picked up. Outside of

:08:15. > :08:22.the defender. He puts his foot down. A wonderful tackle by Zak

:08:23. > :08:26.Hardaker. Excellent full`back play. They have got the better of him. It

:08:27. > :08:32.was a try for Wigan. He was determined.

:08:33. > :08:44.He has had a good game against his hometown club. Scott Taylor, anxious

:08:45. > :08:52.to get on with it from dummy half. Tried to arrow in. At the second

:08:53. > :09:00.attempt, he might have got it down. Have a look at the grounding here.

:09:01. > :09:07.That looks OK. Not long left. It matters little. Surely there is no

:09:08. > :09:16.way back for Wigan? Saint field. Peacock. `` Kevin Sinfield. With a

:09:17. > :09:22.dummy! And a broken line, broken through. Liam Sutcliffe putting the

:09:23. > :09:28.final touches to a fabulous Leeds performance. Claiming one for his

:09:29. > :09:35.personal scrapbook. It is a night that Leeds will remember. It is

:09:36. > :09:40.always funny, watching the highlights. You were shaking your

:09:41. > :09:44.head at times but were you pleased? I think they have got over the start

:09:45. > :09:48.of the year when they struggled with the World Cup challenge and the

:09:49. > :09:52.logistics coming with that. Off the back of winning games. We wanted to

:09:53. > :09:55.defeat them. We had a tough game against Saint Helens before and we

:09:56. > :10:02.put ourselves up. I thought we played well. You have the job of

:10:03. > :10:08.stopping on Thursday. What's TU of Leeds? Special players all over the

:10:09. > :10:18.field. `` what do you think of Leeds? You have got to be in for a

:10:19. > :10:21.fair bit of trouble. We have seen that in recent games. When they get

:10:22. > :10:25.a bit of space they are a real handful. You're kicking game has to

:10:26. > :10:32.be perfect. It is something we need to work with. We talked about Zak

:10:33. > :10:35.Hardaker. He had a fantastic game. You brought him through at

:10:36. > :10:44.Featherstone. What has he added to his game? He has been outstanding.

:10:45. > :10:49.He has really grown as a leader and developed into a fantastic player.

:10:50. > :10:54.This was outstanding. For me, his defence has been unbelievable. Very

:10:55. > :10:57.good tackling. I think defensively there is not a better full`back in

:10:58. > :11:01.the world. He is author than anybody. He has got that many tries

:11:02. > :11:08.it is not funny. `` better than anybody. We have seen some of the

:11:09. > :11:12.things that he has been doing. He is a special player. He has got so much

:11:13. > :11:16.pace. Instinct as well as a rugby league player. So much is going for

:11:17. > :11:21.him. He will challenge for the number one spot. How much do you

:11:22. > :11:27.think they have missed Sean O'Loughlin? There is a sign that

:11:28. > :11:33.when he does not play, they really find it difficult. The leadership

:11:34. > :11:39.that he brings, he is a great player defensively. He is very tough. He is

:11:40. > :11:43.a loss for them. One interesting thing with you is every thing is

:11:44. > :11:46.talking about the back line. Ryan Hall defensively recently has been

:11:47. > :11:53.getting the headlines. You said he has all up. He has `` he has been

:11:54. > :12:00.building up a bit. He has been unbelievable. We have got Justin

:12:01. > :12:08.Carney and we have got our own with Ryan Hall. It will be hard to stop

:12:09. > :12:15.that back line. Yes, very difficult at the moment. So much pace and

:12:16. > :12:19.size, looking at Ryan Hall. And he is quick. He has got very good

:12:20. > :12:25.footwork as well. There are good all over the field. Not just focusing on

:12:26. > :12:27.one area. Everybody in these teams will have to be outstanding to

:12:28. > :12:35.challenge the best team at the moment. No respite. Wigan again. It

:12:36. > :12:38.just keeps going. That is how it is. We have had some good games at the

:12:39. > :12:42.moment against the best team. That is where you want to be, against the

:12:43. > :12:47.best teams. Trying to play your best. Huddersfield are back into the

:12:48. > :12:52.play`off places. The revival was put to the test by Darryl Powell and

:12:53. > :13:02.Castleford on Sunday. It was a great start with another Michael Shenton

:13:03. > :13:09.try. He has been superb this year. An international player, with this

:13:10. > :13:14.man here. He has been superb this season. We talk about Ryan Hall and

:13:15. > :13:20.Justin Carney, a winner that is a big bloke. Slotting into the centre.

:13:21. > :13:24.He is a great finisher. Obviously a big man. He has got pace as well and

:13:25. > :13:31.he is a great character. Fantastic finish here. At Huddersfield

:13:32. > :13:37.stepped`up? We make a couple of errors. They scored on the next

:13:38. > :13:41.set. That was disappointing from our point of view. Huddersfield are a

:13:42. > :13:47.good side. Give them opportunities to come at you, and they are very

:13:48. > :13:54.good. Some bad defence here. Not sure about this play, to be honest.

:13:55. > :13:57.We just started to make errors. They are too good, giving them

:13:58. > :14:03.opportunities like that. And we need to tidy up with defence. Obviously

:14:04. > :14:07.Justin Carney stepping in here. Some disappointing one`on`one defence

:14:08. > :14:13.errors. You showed character and you did not give anything away. Yes, we

:14:14. > :14:21.fought back. Very good from Gibson. A fantastic kick here. We are in the

:14:22. > :14:25.battles at the moment. We are really pleased. We are considering a couple

:14:26. > :14:32.of soft tries. We really need to step up with the try line. We are in

:14:33. > :14:38.the battle. It did not quite finished, the job. We are pleased

:14:39. > :14:42.where we are at the moment and we are fighting hard for everything. 12

:14:43. > :14:45.points down at this point. We will get ourselves back in. We are

:14:46. > :14:57.pleased with the character and how we are going about business.

:14:58. > :15:10.It is a squad of depth? Yes, but we have lost some big man. But we have

:15:11. > :15:15.quality players this season. Clark has been going fantastically? He

:15:16. > :15:23.gets a bit lucky but he has been fantastic. He is so quick and

:15:24. > :15:30.aggressive. For Huddersfield, a big win for them, a big test for them?

:15:31. > :15:35.Definitely went over that drop goal. Lost to Saint Helens, drew against

:15:36. > :15:37.ourselves and then we see Danny Brough getting the drop goal. They

:15:38. > :15:42.would like to win a game and they went out and did that. The manager

:15:43. > :15:51.still not happy. He still wants to see more from them? He is a grumpy

:15:52. > :15:58.old man, Paul Anderson. I will leave you to say that. He wants the best

:15:59. > :16:07.out of his team. All coaches are grumpy anyway? You must be pleased

:16:08. > :16:11.where your team is that, they have proved they can go toe to toe with

:16:12. > :16:18.anybody? It is something we have talked about re`season. We have had

:16:19. > :16:23.a couple of disappointments along the way. We have lost three games

:16:24. > :16:29.and ten points. You know when you are in the battles you give yourself

:16:30. > :16:32.a great opportunity and the character and resilience of the team

:16:33. > :16:34.has been outstanding. We are pleased, had a couple of

:16:35. > :16:41.disappointments, but generally we have bounced back. We lost to

:16:42. > :16:46.Salford and then had a short turnaround and beat London. When we

:16:47. > :16:49.lost to Saints became back and won a couple of games over Easter. So

:16:50. > :16:53.hopefully we will get a response again. Bradford and Warrington have

:16:54. > :16:58.been paired together in the Challenge Cup quarterfinals. And

:16:59. > :17:03.there was a chance for an early rehearsal on Sunday when they played

:17:04. > :17:13.in Super League. It was a dramatic afternoon.

:17:14. > :17:16.Attacking problem here. Big hole opening up here. It is closed

:17:17. > :17:19.equally quickly but Warrington are knocking on the door. They are five

:17:20. > :17:29.metres away. Monaghan, slips it. Anthony England will score. The big

:17:30. > :17:32.man will be delighted with that. Warrington in front after just six

:17:33. > :17:35.minutes, but the Bulls, buoyed by last week 's Challenge Cup success

:17:36. > :17:38.over Catalan, hit back. First Jamie Foster touched down in the corner.

:17:39. > :17:41.Then a loose pass spilled by Chris Bridge allowed Brett Carnie to race

:17:42. > :17:46.away and put Bradford ahead. Bradford picked it up. Almost a bit

:17:47. > :17:54.of open field play. Still going from Brett Carnie. Russell has a race on

:17:55. > :17:56.his hands. It is a race he's going to lose because Brett Carnie has

:17:57. > :17:59.raced 60, 70 metres and touchdown in corner where Jamie Foster did. And

:18:00. > :18:04.for the first time this afternoon, the Bradford Bulls are ahead. Centre

:18:05. > :18:12.of the field they go. Gareth O'Brien. Chris Bridge is in on his

:18:13. > :18:23.own. He will absolutely love that against his former club. Atkins

:18:24. > :18:30.thinks he can go between men. He's got the ball and if Joel Monaghan is

:18:31. > :18:35.away. Nobody is catching him. Kevin Penny touches down. A wonderful

:18:36. > :18:45.break away from Warrington. Try time. It is number 11. That was

:18:46. > :18:53.absolutely from the coaching ground. So was Warrington's reply. Monaghan

:18:54. > :18:57.making sure the Wolves went in at the break ahead. The tit`for`tat

:18:58. > :19:05.scoring continued in the second half with neither side able to build any

:19:06. > :19:23.breathing space. Cute little kick through. Anthony England, standing

:19:24. > :19:26.and releasing to Higham. Matty Russell might run round Gaskill. He

:19:27. > :19:38.is into heavy traffic, Matty Russell. Still going. What are try.

:19:39. > :19:55.You had no right to get that down from where you were. Breaks the

:19:56. > :20:06.line. Adrian Purtell. Woeful Warrington defending. The Wolves try

:20:07. > :20:09.to engineer possession in the final two minutes from between their own

:20:10. > :20:12.sticks. Elliot Kear touchdown the loose ball. No try. But a penalty

:20:13. > :20:15.for the Bulls and enabled Foster to effectively finish the game and seal

:20:16. > :20:21.a Super League success for Bradford after seven straight defeats.

:20:22. > :20:24.A huge win for Bradford, what will it mean for the players to be back

:20:25. > :20:31.to zero points? It is a big thing for Bradford. They beat Catalan in

:20:32. > :20:36.the cup and now they have beaten Warrington. But they still have a

:20:37. > :20:39.mountain to climb. They brought a couple of players on loan. It is

:20:40. > :20:44.difficult at this point of the season and they needed bodies. But

:20:45. > :20:50.they brought to solid players in who have Super League experience? I

:20:51. > :20:57.spoke to Franny a couple of times and he is looking for support up

:20:58. > :21:02.front. They now have that and Aaron is a good quality player. You have

:21:03. > :21:05.two paid tribute to Franny, to be able to help that group and the club

:21:06. > :21:11.together and come up with those performances, is testament to his

:21:12. > :21:18.character and quality as a coach. Warrington don't look great? They

:21:19. > :21:23.have looked in different. They have been missing both halfbacks as well.

:21:24. > :21:33.They have lost games you would think they would win and then they pull

:21:34. > :21:40.out a great performance when they win 38`0, I think it was. Is there

:21:41. > :21:47.any fear they won't make the top eight? There is at the moment but

:21:48. > :21:53.they have enough quality players to put a run of form together. They are

:21:54. > :21:59.not playing well. They have lost some confidence. They have lost a

:22:00. > :22:06.couple of players. They have some young developing front row. They are

:22:07. > :22:11.trying to find a way of playing but they are struggling. But they have

:22:12. > :22:16.an experienced coach in Tony Smith. You would think they will come

:22:17. > :22:19.together and galvanise at some point. Tony Smith was talking about

:22:20. > :22:28.feeling the hurt and getting better as a result. That winter Bradford

:22:29. > :22:32.meant London drop to the bottom of the table. In the last 24 hours,

:22:33. > :22:40.Tony Ray has left his position as head coach. They have lost 11 out of

:22:41. > :22:47.11 so far. Is Tony Ray's departure still a surprise? A little bit. You

:22:48. > :22:51.would have thought because they had to recruit so late in the preseason

:22:52. > :22:56.there wasn't a great expectation they would be any higher up the

:22:57. > :23:01.ladder. It has been difficult for him. I think he has retained his

:23:02. > :23:07.dignity and worked really hard. But it hasn't worked for them. It is a

:23:08. > :23:12.little bit of a surprise to me. I hope Tony gets a job pretty soon.

:23:13. > :23:20.Probably go back to Australia, I would think. I am a bit surprised,

:23:21. > :23:25.yes. Big job that the new manager. You have been critical of them,

:23:26. > :23:29.seeing them improving, what does he need to focus on? I think the

:23:30. > :23:35.players are improving, but if you put together a team of Super League

:23:36. > :23:41.players who just want to make a name for themselves, it will be difficult

:23:42. > :23:48.to win games. When you are a fringe player, you are worried about

:23:49. > :23:52.playing well for yourself, and it is just where they are at in their

:23:53. > :23:57.careers now. He does know the players, which is a huge help to

:23:58. > :24:06.him? Also, I saw some signs against Saint Helens they were piecing

:24:07. > :24:15.something together. Let's see that game, Saint Helens got off to a

:24:16. > :24:21.fantastic start? Saint Helens completely controlled the field

:24:22. > :24:25.position. I don't think they had a ball in Saint Helens' laugh until

:24:26. > :24:31.the last half an hour. It is difficult when you are playing

:24:32. > :24:42.against a quality team like Saint Helens. They lack a bit of size.

:24:43. > :24:52.Let's pick out this try, this Walsh blind pass. He was instrumental? He

:24:53. > :24:59.did very well, Walsh. But I am going to go back to the big men. I believe

:25:00. > :25:05.he played well off the back of Louie McCarthy`Scarsbrook. The big men

:25:06. > :25:11.allowed him room to play. When they came off, Saint Helens did not look

:25:12. > :25:16.as good and I think they struggled and that is when London came back

:25:17. > :25:23.into the game. They needed that win, was this the perfect game? You would

:25:24. > :25:28.have expected Saint Helens to win it. The chairman had come out and

:25:29. > :25:38.criticise them publicly, which he did last year and he got a bit of

:25:39. > :25:40.response. Not sure you can do that too often without knocking

:25:41. > :25:45.confidence in the squad. But they got the win they badly needed. As a

:25:46. > :25:50.player there would be some self`doubt. You have only beat a

:25:51. > :25:55.team that have not won a game all year. As a player, you question

:25:56. > :25:59.yourself a bit. You have had a poor run of form and you beat a team that

:26:00. > :26:04.is not that good, there is still a few questions in their heads as

:26:05. > :26:07.well. I would agree with that, particularly when people are coming

:26:08. > :26:15.out and criticising you. To go out of the Challenge Cup is a big thing

:26:16. > :26:19.for Saint Helens. They need to get some consistency and the pressure

:26:20. > :26:25.will build if they don't get it. For London, Tony Ray left and he thinks

:26:26. > :26:33.they will have a ex`2nd half of the season? They are better than they

:26:34. > :26:37.were six or eight weeks ago. They look like they know each other and

:26:38. > :26:43.enjoy playing with each other. Young players will better each game they

:26:44. > :26:48.play. I struggle to see where a win will come from. Saints back to

:26:49. > :26:50.winning ways and London under new management. What else has been

:26:51. > :27:03.happening in Super League this weekend? Vikings travelled east,

:27:04. > :27:07.Hull KR were next up for Widnes. The Devils met the Dragons. Was there

:27:08. > :27:13.any joy for Salford in the South of France? And Wakefield were looking

:27:14. > :27:25.to put some colour into their season against the black`and`white is in

:27:26. > :27:35.Hull. Widnes' first away win of the season

:27:36. > :27:43.was a 7`0 affair in March. Hull KR the opponents this time and this was

:27:44. > :27:54.close? Widnes will be delighted with this win. Talk us through this try.

:27:55. > :28:01.When you score a try as a prop, and you forget how good that feeling is.

:28:02. > :28:12.You end up scoring a few because you like it. He was world class? The

:28:13. > :28:15.manager taught the team apart but Kevin Brown did play well. You have

:28:16. > :28:20.got to be able to run well and make your passes and make the right

:28:21. > :28:27.decisions. He did turn up with a try at the death to win the game for

:28:28. > :28:34.Widnes. It was a good Hull KR fight back? They have some quality

:28:35. > :28:41.players. They are two teams who are expected to be in the eight. Hull

:28:42. > :28:58.KR, they will be disappointed but they did put Widnes under some

:28:59. > :29:09.pressure. Bennion is a box of tricks. He is quick. He does have

:29:10. > :29:14.some good skill. Widnes were fantastic at the beginning of the

:29:15. > :29:19.season on their own turf, but to go away from home in the last couple of

:29:20. > :29:27.weeks and come away with big wins, show some character? It is almost

:29:28. > :29:33.worth eight points for them. Most people would have been tipping

:29:34. > :29:41.Widnes to lose. They keep shopping people `` shocking people. Hull KR

:29:42. > :29:45.have got themselves seven in France, as a coach you think you have won

:29:46. > :29:53.the game at this point? Anything can happen, you have never won the game

:29:54. > :29:57.until the whistle goes. Widnes has great character and Dennis has done

:29:58. > :30:03.a marvellous job. They are difficult to beat. To go over to those grounds

:30:04. > :30:10.and win games away from home, you have to have a lot about you as a

:30:11. > :30:19.team. But if you are the manager, you are not happy about this? No, he

:30:20. > :30:33.won't be happy about this. He is a bit grumpy. They need to keep their

:30:34. > :30:40.place in the top eight. Go into the play`offs and do something. Salford

:30:41. > :30:44.have announced the signing of Kevin Locke for the 2015 season. They

:30:45. > :30:48.expect more to come but the immediate concern for the coach is

:30:49. > :30:49.to get back into the play`offs. Salford Red Devils were at Catalan

:30:50. > :31:01.and Dave Woods was watching. COMMENTATOR Both sides will be

:31:02. > :31:05.looking for a reaction after that defeat ending their challenge cup

:31:06. > :31:11.hopes. That was not the best of starts by Salford. Straight out of

:31:12. > :31:20.play. A Catalan penalty. And a chance for them to pick up their

:31:21. > :31:24.position. A decent kick into touch. And here he comes with the initial

:31:25. > :31:30.drive. Salford putting themselves under pressure right from the start.

:31:31. > :31:41.A couple of drives, putting the French side within ten metres. Out

:31:42. > :31:47.from dummy half, Pelissier. Escare pushing of Tim Smith and scoring the

:31:48. > :31:51.opening try of the game. Barely one`minute plate and Catalan are

:31:52. > :32:02.already up and running. `` one minute played. Just helping things

:32:03. > :32:07.on here had dummy half. And again, Pelissier, a jiggle of the hips. And

:32:08. > :32:12.a score for Daryl Millard right into the corner. It has been a

:32:13. > :32:23.sensational start for the Catalan Dragons. They have had two tries in

:32:24. > :32:30.seven minutes played. A solid effort. And a step here. On his way.

:32:31. > :32:38.Quick hands from him, Pelissier. Watch this burning the surface.

:32:39. > :32:48.Morgan Escare with his second. Catalan are flying. Absolutely

:32:49. > :32:54.flying. Step on the inside from Taia. It was good and clever hands

:32:55. > :33:00.with the defender coming in. And all about the footwork from Morgan

:33:01. > :33:04.Escare in the end. Tommy Lee. Salford looking for a way back into

:33:05. > :33:10.this game if they can. Smith with the past. Hawke does well. A

:33:11. > :33:20.difficult pass and Francis Melly has scored. Salford have finally got a

:33:21. > :33:25.word to say. A tough and thumping effort from him.

:33:26. > :33:38.Tomkins. From the interchange bench where he started in this sunny

:33:39. > :33:44.evening. Flicking it back. Salford looking right. Gleason. Putting on

:33:45. > :33:51.the footwork. Leon Pryce is away. Vintage stuff from him. Williams is

:33:52. > :33:57.over. And this is turning into a super Salford response now. Right

:33:58. > :34:04.back in the contest. Very good footwork, standing up in the first

:34:05. > :34:08.instance. And good support work from Danny Williams.

:34:09. > :34:23.Tomkins. Chase. Across the line he goes. Greg Eden. He has got the gap.

:34:24. > :34:28.Sailing part of the defence. And Salford Red Devils, they were 16 `

:34:29. > :34:32.zero down, they will be leading 18`16 if they can get this super

:34:33. > :34:43.try. He has found a bit of a way through

:34:44. > :34:52.here. Leon Pryce and support. From the outside. And with the score. He

:34:53. > :34:59.is looking for the replay here, the referee. Making sure the grounding

:35:00. > :35:06.is OK. That is absolutely fine. This will be a try. Confirmed. And it is

:35:07. > :35:15.a lot to Leon Pryce finding a way, a channel in that Salford defence. And

:35:16. > :35:21.the man in support to finish, Taia. Tomkins looking left. With a dummy.

:35:22. > :35:27.A double pump ROM Rangi Chase. Gareth Hock is through. Salford

:35:28. > :35:36.bouncing right back again. It is becoming a great contest. They go

:35:37. > :35:42.into the lead again. Chase. He timed the past absolutely perfectly. And

:35:43. > :35:46.Gareth Hock away from the despairing hands, the dummy passing the

:35:47. > :35:53.full`back. And the tries scored and the lead is going to be theirs

:35:54. > :36:10.again. `` and the try scored. Leon Pryce. Leon Pryce X Mac `` Leon

:36:11. > :36:15.Pryce! . `` Leon Pryce X mark `` Leon Pryce! .

:36:16. > :36:26.Sprinting away. Catalan with their noses in front. Pelissier. The

:36:27. > :36:34.referee is not interested in the high tackle and he says play on. A

:36:35. > :36:41.push and a shove. Morgan Escare. He is going to run away with a

:36:42. > :36:48.hat`trick of tries. And the one that will surely win it for Catalan now.

:36:49. > :36:54.In the soup of they are on a super run. Really finding their warm. ``

:36:55. > :36:57.in the super league. He is enjoying his moment in the sunshine, with a

:36:58. > :37:09.hat`trick of tries. A case of running down the clock.

:37:10. > :37:13.They have had a very good start. They had to weather a very spirited

:37:14. > :37:21.Salford fightback but Catalan are going to win this. And a drop goal

:37:22. > :37:27.seals it by Pelissier. 37`24. Just like it was a couple of weeks ago

:37:28. > :37:35.against Hull Kingston Rovers. The drop goal seals it for Catalan. They

:37:36. > :37:38.certainly looked like they were enjoying themselves. They look like

:37:39. > :37:44.a different team from the start of the season. Very confident. They

:37:45. > :37:47.have still got a lot of players missing as well. A little bit

:37:48. > :37:53.different at home as opposed to a way. They are like all French teams.

:37:54. > :37:56.It is completely different. They look like they are playing with a

:37:57. > :38:00.bit of confidence. They have come out and the coach was under a lot of

:38:01. > :38:03.pressure at one point. They got dragged back from the UK back to

:38:04. > :38:08.France when they were really struggling. At the moment they look

:38:09. > :38:12.like they have stabilised. They are playing well and scoring points.

:38:13. > :38:16.Still conceding some points but they will be pleased they have

:38:17. > :38:21.stabilised. A lot of injuries as we said but they have stepped up and

:38:22. > :38:29.the leader has led from the front. He has been great in recent weeks.

:38:30. > :38:35.He has got great intelligence. He might not be fluent in French but he

:38:36. > :38:40.is a player that can step up like he did at the end of the game. He can

:38:41. > :38:45.make the big plays. Looking at Salford in this game, you came in

:38:46. > :38:53.halfway into the season last year at Castleford, how tough a job is this

:38:54. > :38:57.for the boss? It is tough. There is massive expectation. It is different

:38:58. > :39:01.to what I took on her Castleford where there was not expectation in

:39:02. > :39:05.terms of finishing in the eighth. They were jumping up and down every

:39:06. > :39:10.time something does not go their way. That will add pressure

:39:11. > :39:14.constantly. They will be expected to get into the top eight. They have

:39:15. > :39:20.lost a few matches on the spin. They will be under pressure. I think the

:39:21. > :39:24.best thing is to step away a little bit and let him do his job. That is

:39:25. > :39:30.the difficult thing to deal with. Have you seen a change since the new

:39:31. > :39:38.man Western Mark I think we need to focus on the defence ``? I think we

:39:39. > :39:43.need to focus on the defence and let them be a bit more free playing.

:39:44. > :39:47.They do need to focus on defence. They have not to back their talent

:39:48. > :39:52.and defensive lapses let them down. They have wrought in Kevin Long. Is

:39:53. > :39:58.that a good signing? Without a doubt. No question he will add to

:39:59. > :40:03.the Salford team and the super league competition. He is a good

:40:04. > :40:08.signing. They have got good players. The key is getting the coaching

:40:09. > :40:13.right and blending them together. It will be difficult doing it with the

:40:14. > :40:19.salary cap. But we will see. I think I will pass on that one! Back on the

:40:20. > :40:23.field for the first time in almost a fortnight, Wakefield Wildcats hoped

:40:24. > :40:28.to avoid a seventh consecutive defeat and it looked like a home win

:40:29. > :40:32.all the way. When they go out, they should have finished that game. I

:40:33. > :40:36.think they would have been disappointed at the end, coming back

:40:37. > :40:44.into the game and winning it. Going here and winning, it is very tough.

:40:45. > :40:49.16 in front. Dominating the first half. What goes wrong at that point?

:40:50. > :40:54.With mentality, you get away from the team and you can get them on

:40:55. > :40:59.Barack a little bit and expected to just happen. That might have been

:41:00. > :41:02.the case. `` you can get them on the rack a little bit. They can

:41:03. > :41:08.challenge you. We played a couple weeks ago and we were put under

:41:09. > :41:12.pressure. When you get momentum in a game it is very difficult to stop.

:41:13. > :41:17.Wakefield had momentum and got on top and they were confident and

:41:18. > :41:22.confidence ebbed away from their opponents. A couple of players sin

:41:23. > :41:28.binned. Did you feel that played into Wakefield's hands? I do not

:41:29. > :41:33.think you can blame things like that. It should not affect the rest

:41:34. > :41:37.of the game. Like we said, they lost momentum and could not get it back.

:41:38. > :41:40.It was a lapse of concentration allowing Wakefield back into the

:41:41. > :41:46.game and underestimating the quality of their players. A big thing with

:41:47. > :41:50.Bradford winning. Massive. They would have had a look at that. It

:41:51. > :41:56.would have knocked them sideways. They would be expected to close the

:41:57. > :42:00.gap. It generates really good character, people fighting tooth and

:42:01. > :42:06.nail. You know that it is going to be a lot of battles on the way.

:42:07. > :42:16.Bradford are starting to win. A couple of teams will be a bit

:42:17. > :42:20.nervous. Just looking at money and getting in his years and has a

:42:21. > :42:26.group, you think they did not get them energised and what did you make

:42:27. > :42:31.of that? They definitely have energy because they went 16`0 ahead. It is

:42:32. > :42:35.difficult when a side is on the front foot and trying to create

:42:36. > :42:40.energy for yourself. I think it was a bit naive going back to that. It

:42:41. > :42:46.was a big job. Does he just needs time? Definitely. It is a tough one.

:42:47. > :42:52.I did a similar job at Leeds over ten years ago. It is difficult when

:42:53. > :42:55.you are going into a big organisation and you are expected to

:42:56. > :42:59.manage the whole group. The expectation, that is another club

:43:00. > :43:03.with the expectations. There is a lot of pressure on him at the

:43:04. > :43:07.moment. He will need to choose his words carefully. When you are

:43:08. > :43:12.frustrated after a game. You have to get your words right. Back to

:43:13. > :43:19.winning ways. How does that leave things in the table? Wildcats are

:43:20. > :43:25.still clear of Bradford, off the bottom of the table. Leeds are one

:43:26. > :43:29.ahead. Saint Helens in second. Catalan with a fourth consecutive

:43:30. > :43:35.victory, level on points with Hull and Warrington. Castleford and Leeds

:43:36. > :43:39.are first up in round 12, meeting on Thursday. Wigan going to hold.

:43:40. > :43:47.Saints and Bradford. Home games for Warrington, Widnes, Warrington and

:43:48. > :43:52.Salford. Follow the Leeds game where coverage begins at 730 on radio five

:43:53. > :43:55.live. We will be back with The Super League Show and the earlier time of

:43:56. > :44:02.11:25pm next Monday night with a repeat at 1am `` 1pm on Tuesday

:44:03. > :44:07.lunchtime on BBC Two. You have been very friendly. You do not talk to

:44:08. > :44:18.each other now until Thursday. Well, that is it. Enjoy the battle

:44:19. > :44:20.on Thursday ex Malcolm ``! Do not forget, 11:25pm next week, see you

:44:21. > :44:33.then, goodbye. From you six today, we want refined
