0:00:29 > 0:00:30Hello there.

0:00:30 > 0:00:35They say it is tough at the top, but tonight we'll find out how tough it

0:00:35 > 0:00:37is at the bottom of Super League.

0:00:37 > 0:00:41Relegation is back and tonight we've got the first big match up

0:00:41 > 0:00:42in the battle to beat the drop.

0:00:42 > 0:00:46One coach who has been the thick of it all left

0:00:46 > 0:00:49his position today and across the competition we have had red cards

0:00:49 > 0:00:54and a few red faces in round 15.

0:00:54 > 0:01:01Don't look down, the Bulls are looking to get up.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03The Wolves are on the rise.

0:01:03 > 0:01:09The League leaders are next in line for Warrington.

0:01:09 > 0:01:13And top of the props, we meet the front row force at

0:01:13 > 0:01:20Hull Kingston Rovers.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28Bradford's Brett Kearney is alongside Brian Noble to pass

0:01:28 > 0:01:30judgement on Round 15 with movement this week

0:01:30 > 0:01:32at the top and bottom of the table.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35We'll start with the news that Richard Agar has today left his

0:01:35 > 0:01:37position as Head Coach at Wakefield.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40It follows a dramatic afternoon at Bradford where

0:01:40 > 0:01:43the Wildcats were beaten by the Bulls, a result which left Wakefield

0:01:43 > 0:01:49just six points ahead of Bradford in the battle to avoid relegation.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00He is trying to get the ball away.

0:02:00 > 0:02:03A superb tackle there.

0:02:03 > 0:02:06Out it goes to Gale.

0:02:06 > 0:02:10Patel.

0:02:10 > 0:02:11It is a corner.

0:02:11 > 0:02:13It is the opening score of the day.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16Somehow Bradford kept that alive.

0:02:16 > 0:02:17Luke Gale running at the line.

0:02:17 > 0:02:18A chance here.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20A beautifully tight pass.

0:02:20 > 0:02:27And that was a lovely move by Bradford.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30And that was a lovely move by Bradford.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32It is a short ball again from Gale.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34Can he get the ball away?

0:02:34 > 0:02:36It is a beautiful pass.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39Patel gets it.

0:02:39 > 0:02:46It is a superb off load.

0:03:45 > 0:03:45It is a superb off load.

0:03:45 > 0:03:45The referee produce add yellow card, but Kerr went unpunished leaving

0:03:45 > 0:03:45the Bulls with the advantage.

0:03:45 > 0:03:46Two penalties from Gale saw Bradford extend their lead.

0:03:46 > 0:03:46The second try of the afternoon was a mere consolation.

0:03:46 > 0:03:46A chance here for Ryan.

0:03:46 > 0:03:46A chance here for Ryan.

0:03:46 > 0:04:09Has he got the ball down there?

0:04:09 > 0:04:13comes even if he discussed the fact that he was leaving, you would want

0:04:13 > 0:04:18to see him in place until the end.

0:04:18 > 0:04:21He has done a great job in trying circumstances in

0:04:21 > 0:04:23the time he has been at Wakefield?

0:04:23 > 0:04:24We forget that.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26Now we've got the new regime and the relegation,

0:04:26 > 0:04:30it does add to the scrutiny and it does add to the pressure.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33It is important that clubs know their direction and their coaches

0:04:33 > 0:04:35explain as to where they are at.

0:04:35 > 0:04:37It is a surprise.

0:04:37 > 0:04:40James Webster takes over.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42Is that a tough time for him to take over?

0:04:42 > 0:04:44Or a succession?

0:04:44 > 0:04:46There is that element of succession.

0:04:46 > 0:04:47The players will be familiar.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49The staff stays the same.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52They will try and get troops back.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54They had a few injuries yesterday Wakefield to key players.

0:04:54 > 0:04:58If your key players are out, certainly, it is difficult to get

0:04:58 > 0:05:02wins in Super League these days.

0:05:02 > 0:05:03A great win for Bradford.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05A much needed one.

0:05:05 > 0:05:06I guess?

0:05:06 > 0:05:08It was a massive win for us.

0:05:08 > 0:05:11Waky are the team we're trying to run-down, I guess.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14They are in front of us.

0:05:14 > 0:05:18For us to get another win in the Super League was big for us.

0:05:18 > 0:05:22We have got 12 games to go and we need to start our run home.

0:05:22 > 0:05:24How were the nerves beforehand?

0:05:24 > 0:05:28I was nervous!

0:05:28 > 0:05:31LAUGHTER I imagine the boys would have been very nervous.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34This week at training you can see the intensity going into it.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37You can see the match was very important to us.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40We have got to keep it up for the rest of the year.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43We've shown we prepared well and what happens if you prepare well.

0:05:43 > 0:05:47So we've got big matches coming up and hopefully we will get

0:05:47 > 0:05:48a few points out of them.

0:05:48 > 0:05:49You are still out.

0:05:49 > 0:05:51You had a few troops back.

0:05:51 > 0:05:52How important was that?

0:05:52 > 0:05:54It was massive.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57I'm the only injured player at the moment which is something we

0:05:57 > 0:05:59haven't had for a while.

0:05:59 > 0:06:05It is a big thing having those guys back.

0:06:05 > 0:06:13Getting key players back is a big thing for us.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16There is a hearing on Wednesday about whether you can get any

0:06:16 > 0:06:19of the points back.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22You don't know, you're not going to be in the hearing,

0:06:22 > 0:06:23what's the feeling around the club?

0:06:23 > 0:06:25Are you optimistic that you might?

0:06:25 > 0:06:27Well, I think there's a feeling of optimism.

0:06:27 > 0:06:31As a player, all we can do is do what's in front of us.

0:06:31 > 0:06:34At the moment we're on two points and we've got to make

0:06:34 > 0:06:38up another possibly 12 points.

0:06:38 > 0:06:42If we get six wins coming into the end of the season,

0:06:42 > 0:06:42we'll avoid relegation.

0:06:42 > 0:06:47If we get points, we'll take them with both hands.

0:06:47 > 0:06:49We're not going to be in the hearing.

0:06:49 > 0:06:53The ins and outs of it, would you like to see them get some

0:06:53 > 0:06:54points back?

0:06:54 > 0:06:56None of us know what they're appealing on.

0:06:56 > 0:07:00Bradford knows and everybody at the tribunal will know.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03There is an element confidence coming out of the Bradford camp.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06There is a sense they're going to get two or

0:07:06 > 0:07:08four points back which will really, really help their cause.

0:07:08 > 0:07:12They may not get any back.

0:07:12 > 0:07:16The players and the coach will focus on what they're doing in

0:07:16 > 0:07:20the next round in the Super League.

0:07:20 > 0:07:25You are playing Salford.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28It is a massive game, but quarterfinals of the Challenge Cup?

0:07:28 > 0:07:32It is a chance to, if we get knocked out of this match, it is

0:07:32 > 0:07:35one more match and at Wembley.

0:07:35 > 0:07:39It is good for us to have this match this weekend.

0:07:39 > 0:07:43Off the back of a win, we put in a good performance this week

0:07:43 > 0:07:46and hopefully get another win and we're into two important matches.

0:07:46 > 0:07:48Bradford closing the gap at the bottom.

0:07:48 > 0:07:52But at the other end of the table, the Leeds Rhinos were looking to

0:07:52 > 0:07:54stay ahead head of the pack.

0:07:54 > 0:07:55The League leaders were at Warrington.

0:07:55 > 0:07:59Dave Woods saw this one.

0:07:59 > 0:08:00Dave Woods saw this one.

0:08:00 > 0:08:03They are the League leaders, but St Helen's are breathing ing

0:08:03 > 0:08:06They are the League leaders, but St Helen's are breathing ing

0:08:06 > 0:08:07over their shoulders.

0:08:07 > 0:08:12It is a different Warrington they face tonight.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17They come here on the back of three confidence boosting wins.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20They come here on the back of three confidence boosting wins.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22They are finding form.

0:08:22 > 0:08:26They are finding form.

0:08:26 > 0:08:28It is a good effort by Hill.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30It is a good effort by Hill.

0:08:30 > 0:08:38There is Michael Monaghan.

0:08:59 > 0:09:03Hill with great support.

0:09:06 > 0:09:12It is the prop that finishes it!

0:09:12 > 0:09:15It was a break Myler that did all the damage here.

0:09:16 > 0:09:18Showing terrific pace.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26Myler.

0:09:26 > 0:09:30And Bridge is sent through the gap for his second try of the night.

0:09:30 > 0:09:34And Bridge is sent through the gap for his second try of the night.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37Warrington are loving every minute of this in the first-half.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39Warrington are loving every minute of this in the first-half.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41Three tries without any Leeds response.

0:09:41 > 0:09:47Three tries without any Leeds response.

0:09:48 > 0:09:53Leeds are keeping it alive.

0:09:53 > 0:09:58Ormsby is away and Monaghan is there in support.

0:09:59 > 0:10:03And now for the corner.

0:10:03 > 0:10:09It is a fabulous, fabulous try saving tackle by Ablett.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12He refused to give up.

0:10:12 > 0:10:22It looked every inch a score when the hands were in the hands

0:10:23 > 0:10:25of Monaghan, but Ablett wouldn't be shaken off.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37They will go back and Warrington will get the turn over

0:10:37 > 0:10:40from where this knock-on happened.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51They start from deep.

0:10:51 > 0:10:54There is space here for Rhys Evans.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57Briscoe is after him.

0:10:57 > 0:10:59Briscoe can't get there.

0:10:59 > 0:11:00Evans for the corner!

0:11:00 > 0:11:01Rhys Evans.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04Oh, the effort from Hardacre this time.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06Did Evans get there?

0:11:06 > 0:11:12Oh, the foot is just on the line and Hardacre has pulled

0:11:12 > 0:11:16off another astonishing try-saving tackle for Leeds.

0:11:24 > 0:11:26Confirmation of no try.

0:11:26 > 0:11:28Well, it was very nearly an old-fashioned winger's try here.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30Support on the outside, but he backed himself.

0:11:30 > 0:11:34But so too did Hardacre.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40Sinfield.

0:11:40 > 0:11:42It is not the cleanest of handling here.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44It is typical of Leeds' night.

0:11:44 > 0:11:45They've given a penalty away.

0:11:45 > 0:11:46Off side.

0:11:46 > 0:11:50So many mistakes.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53They are suggesting their team-mates should carry on, but Chris Bridge is

0:11:53 > 0:11:54going to take the two points.

0:12:15 > 0:12:16Peacock.

0:12:16 > 0:12:17No way through.

0:12:17 > 0:12:23Warrington are standing and waiting here.

0:12:25 > 0:12:30Yes, he has got it down!

0:12:30 > 0:12:34It was a strange turn of events, but once Peacock got the ball away,

0:12:34 > 0:12:36it was always a try.

0:12:43 > 0:12:44Here is Ormsby.

0:12:44 > 0:12:45Just about held up.

0:12:45 > 0:12:46Higham.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48Monaghan.

0:12:48 > 0:12:49Monaghan scores the try.

0:13:07 > 0:13:08What's the difference between this Warrington side

0:13:08 > 0:13:11and the ones you beat?

0:13:11 > 0:13:12Not sure really.

0:13:12 > 0:13:16I mean, they have got really fast in the last few weeks.

0:13:16 > 0:13:17They look like a different team.

0:13:17 > 0:13:27They are a team improving.

0:13:27 > 0:13:30You have got Bridge playing on the back of that

0:13:30 > 0:13:31and he is playing really well.

0:13:31 > 0:13:34Do they look like the Warrington of old?

0:13:34 > 0:13:36The confidence seems to be coming back?

0:13:36 > 0:13:40Yes, they look really quick and they win the ruck and when they have got

0:13:40 > 0:13:44that, it enables them to throw wide passes to Myler or Bridge on the fly

0:13:44 > 0:13:49which creates damage or they run out with dummy half with Monaghan or

0:13:49 > 0:13:52their quicker blokes and they were just a bit too quick

0:13:52 > 0:13:56for a jaded Leeds team.

0:13:56 > 0:13:59We saw the brilliant defence we see sometimes from Leeds.

0:13:59 > 0:14:01The two efforts from Hardacre and Ablett.

0:14:01 > 0:14:02Let's look.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35Jaded rather than tired.

0:14:35 > 0:14:39They looked very, very dangerous.

0:14:46 > 0:14:51Leeds still showed that element of doubt and resistance.

0:14:51 > 0:14:57And they still were in the game.

0:14:57 > 0:15:01This is the type of team they are.

0:15:01 > 0:15:06They'll be pleased to get lots of players back in their team.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09We go back to the situation where you need your

0:15:09 > 0:15:14best players on decks, certainly against the better players.

0:15:14 > 0:15:19Chris Bridge has stepped up, so he has been fantastic, there are

0:15:19 > 0:15:21lots of players coming in.

0:15:21 > 0:15:25What have you made of Chris Bridge?

0:15:25 > 0:15:28I didn't see him as a stand-off before he started playing, but

0:15:28 > 0:15:37he has been playing brilliantly.

0:15:37 > 0:15:41It is going to cause any team a lot of trouble.

0:15:41 > 0:15:46What has he brought to the role?

0:15:46 > 0:15:49He was a stand-off half, he can play, he can run,

0:15:49 > 0:15:53he can pass, he has played with the team for six years in the centre.

0:15:53 > 0:15:57He is a dangerous player.

0:15:57 > 0:16:05He can beat you on the one-on-one.

0:16:05 > 0:16:09The RFL have referred Zak Hardaker to the commission

0:16:09 > 0:16:15for making a homophobic comment.

0:16:15 > 0:16:19Saint Helens go back to the top to the table if they can beat Salford.

0:16:19 > 0:16:33The Saints have been great through the start.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35after they lost to Warrington.

0:16:35 > 0:16:38They've taken it on board and they've come back strong.

0:16:38 > 0:16:41He is back-up fullback, he's played fabulously, hasn't he?

0:16:41 > 0:16:44He has been fabulous for most of his career.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47He shows up in the right place at the right time with

0:16:47 > 0:16:50an element of experience.

0:16:50 > 0:16:55He's handful.

0:16:55 > 0:17:01Nathan Brown, it is a head scratch of him.

0:17:01 > 0:17:05They are moving around, Saints, they had to dip,

0:17:05 > 0:17:08but it has done some good.

0:17:08 > 0:17:14Sometimes it takes a bit of a dip to take the next step.

0:17:14 > 0:17:17This game could have been one that got away from them.

0:17:17 > 0:17:19Salford, they've got players that can score points.

0:17:19 > 0:17:23They showed what a good team they are.

0:17:23 > 0:17:32Salford are changing, are they taking too many things?

0:17:32 > 0:17:34Today they look like they are confused?

0:17:34 > 0:17:38I certainly feel that the change of direction means they have to learn

0:17:38 > 0:17:44things, which takes time, no doubt.

0:17:44 > 0:17:47But if Bradford get their points back,

0:17:47 > 0:17:51Salford might find themselves in the situation they don't want to be in.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53There's a lot of quality in that team,

0:17:53 > 0:17:55a lot of players that can play.

0:17:55 > 0:17:59I am confident in them.

0:17:59 > 0:18:06Do you think that players like Rangi Chase can fit into this structure?

0:18:06 > 0:18:09Yes, you can do whatever he wants, practically.

0:18:09 > 0:18:14But there are some other players who play in a certain way,

0:18:14 > 0:18:17but they have to learn a structure and become intimately

0:18:17 > 0:18:25knowledgeable about this structure.

0:18:25 > 0:18:30Next, another big game for you.

0:18:30 > 0:18:34It will be a big match for us.

0:18:34 > 0:18:43They have the quality.

0:18:43 > 0:18:47And it will let us find out what happened to everyone in between

0:18:47 > 0:18:50in round 15.

0:18:56 > 0:19:02The Giants hoped for a good night.

0:19:02 > 0:19:05Hull FC were looking to shine in London, did the Black and Whites

0:19:05 > 0:19:10leave the Broncos in the shade?

0:19:10 > 0:19:13And we catch up with Cas, the Tigers were hoping to rock

0:19:13 > 0:19:23the Robins at The Jungle.

0:19:23 > 0:19:27You have to go back to August last year to find the last time Hull FC

0:19:27 > 0:19:28won away from home.

0:19:28 > 0:19:31They were in London on Saturday and coach Lee Radford was desperate

0:19:31 > 0:19:38home and they didn't start well.

0:19:38 > 0:19:42They charged down, and, very unfortunately,

0:19:42 > 0:19:47it was one-way traffic.

0:19:47 > 0:19:53When a team lacks confidence, any error seems to be magnified tenfold.

0:19:53 > 0:20:02And a good team like Hull will exploit that.

0:20:02 > 0:20:08If you are having a dip, like Hull, is this the kind of game you want

0:20:08 > 0:20:14to have where you get some fluency?

0:20:14 > 0:20:16You just want to get some points, really.

0:20:16 > 0:20:19Getting two points makes you feel better.

0:20:19 > 0:20:22Doesn't matter who you are playing, and if they put 50 points

0:20:22 > 0:20:25on London, like they did...

0:20:25 > 0:20:30When you are up against it, you don't need a man sending off.

0:20:30 > 0:20:33He has been stepped to late, and I've seen far worse

0:20:33 > 0:20:37in the competition this year given lesser punishment.

0:20:37 > 0:20:41To lose a player when you are under the cosh, they were 20 points down

0:20:41 > 0:20:45there, I'm not sure it made that much difference, but London started

0:20:45 > 0:20:51well, and then Hull took over.

0:20:51 > 0:20:55Plenty of space for them to run through.

0:20:55 > 0:20:58I didn't think it looked that vicious.

0:20:58 > 0:21:04Are you surprised the talent hasn't clicked it this year?

0:21:04 > 0:21:08They have had their fair share of injuries.

0:21:08 > 0:21:11Confidence is a wonderful thing, and when you haven't got it,

0:21:11 > 0:21:14you don't know how to get it, and when you've got it,

0:21:14 > 0:21:20you don't know where it came from.

0:21:20 > 0:21:25The new coach's vision and regime, they do have the players.

0:21:25 > 0:21:28There are a lot of teams that have the players,

0:21:28 > 0:21:31but they need that teamwork.

0:21:31 > 0:21:34The halfback combination, that has been chopped and change,

0:21:34 > 0:21:38can they build on something?

0:21:38 > 0:21:40That is always a big one.

0:21:40 > 0:21:42Having some halfbacks working well together is

0:21:42 > 0:21:45a key element to any team.

0:21:45 > 0:21:47As long as they can stay with the same

0:21:47 > 0:21:51pairing they can stay with the same pairing over the next few weeks.

0:21:51 > 0:21:53In the hearts, that will be big.

0:21:53 > 0:21:56Hull back to winning ways, but on the other side of the city Hull

0:21:56 > 0:21:59Kingston Rovers have been travelling nicely in the play-off places.

0:21:59 > 0:22:02One of their star performers has been Australian prop Michael Weyman

0:22:02 > 0:22:04who joined the club over the winter.

0:22:04 > 0:22:07He's won the NRL with St George, made international and State

0:22:07 > 0:22:09of Origin appearances, but playing in Super League

0:22:09 > 0:22:13fulfilled a long standing ambition.

0:22:13 > 0:22:17I was lucky enough to be over in 2002 with Australian schoolboys.

0:22:17 > 0:22:21And we were here for seven weeks with that team.

0:22:21 > 0:22:25I always wanted to come across and experience an English winter.

0:22:25 > 0:22:28And, you know, it's a different culture, a

0:22:28 > 0:22:31different country and something that was always in the back of my mind.

0:22:31 > 0:22:34And when the opportunity arose to come over here, it was something

0:22:34 > 0:22:36that we really jumped at.

0:22:36 > 0:22:39My wife was really keen to come over as well.

0:22:39 > 0:22:42You know, it was just one of those things that just happened.

0:22:42 > 0:22:45It's just such a great historical city.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48We've really enjoyed it.

0:22:48 > 0:22:49He looks for an opportunity.

0:22:49 > 0:22:50Straight down the middle.

0:22:50 > 0:22:52He's got the big man on his inside.

0:22:52 > 0:22:55It is going to be a great try.

0:22:55 > 0:22:58What a ball that from the big front row, Michael Weyman.

0:22:58 > 0:23:01The games that I've played in, I've enjoyed every minute.

0:23:01 > 0:23:07The atmosphere the crowd creates, it just has been something special

0:23:07 > 0:23:08that I'll never forget.

0:23:08 > 0:23:11And the atmosphere of the derbies is unbelievable as well.

0:23:11 > 0:23:16So, you know, each team has their own tradition.

0:23:16 > 0:23:19And something that I've really cherished.

0:23:19 > 0:23:23I was talking to people over the Easter weekend

0:23:23 > 0:23:26when we played at Cracknell Park.

0:23:26 > 0:23:30A lot of people thought there was 50,000 here, but it was only 11,000.

0:23:30 > 0:23:31So, the atmosphere, it was electric.

0:23:31 > 0:23:35And people back home didn't realise there wasn't as many people there.

0:23:35 > 0:23:37So that's just unbelievable.

0:23:37 > 0:23:39It is going to be a sidestep.

0:23:39 > 0:23:42They are in!

0:23:42 > 0:23:49Michael Weyman has forced his way over.

0:23:49 > 0:23:53The try in the Hull derby was one of four in four matches for Weyman,

0:23:53 > 0:23:56but he doesn't expect to be scoring points too often.

0:23:56 > 0:23:59I was in the right place at the right time.

0:23:59 > 0:24:00I wasn't too much involved with it.

0:24:00 > 0:24:03It was just a fall over the line.

0:24:03 > 0:24:05I was lucky enough to get one on the board.

0:24:05 > 0:24:09I was getting across a few times, I don't get lots of tries,

0:24:09 > 0:24:11I just get one or two.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13But I got a double against Warrington, which was,

0:24:13 > 0:24:16obviously, that's not something I'm used to, but it's been really good.

0:24:16 > 0:24:18Weyman is going to score!

0:24:18 > 0:24:22He gets another one.

0:24:22 > 0:24:25The lad is a try scoring machine!

0:24:25 > 0:24:29Making hard yards in the front row is more what Weyman is all about.

0:24:29 > 0:24:32And the giant prop forward has more hard graft lined up in Australia

0:24:32 > 0:24:37when his career is over, in a very different type of field.

0:24:37 > 0:24:39I've got a farm back there.

0:24:39 > 0:24:42My dad and brother look after that for me.

0:24:42 > 0:24:44I am lucky.

0:24:44 > 0:24:48To have my dad and brother to keep an eye on that for me.

0:24:48 > 0:24:51Just ticking away, looking after itself until I can come home.

0:24:51 > 0:24:54You know, I am very lucky to have that.

0:24:54 > 0:24:58I've got all that ready to go when I retire.

0:24:58 > 0:25:01Building roads and bridges and stuff like that,

0:25:01 > 0:25:05getting into earth moving machinery, it's always been, I guess, a passion

0:25:05 > 0:25:08for me, something I've enjoyed, and something I look forward to

0:25:08 > 0:25:10being a part of when I finish.

0:25:10 > 0:25:14I've driven across it once because I wanted to have a look at it,

0:25:14 > 0:25:18but they charged me on the toll on the way in,

0:25:18 > 0:25:22and they charge me on the way back, so I don't do that any more!

0:25:22 > 0:25:25But it is a freestanding bridge, the largest freestanding bridge

0:25:25 > 0:25:30for a long time until they built another one in Dubai.

0:25:30 > 0:25:35So, it's always good to tell the boys what a freestanding bridge is.

0:25:35 > 0:25:38Things are starting to iron out for us.

0:25:38 > 0:25:42There was a lot of new players in at the start of the year.

0:25:42 > 0:25:45You know, things obviously take time.

0:25:45 > 0:25:48And I always we were taking those steps every week.

0:25:48 > 0:25:52We've still got a lot of work to focus on.

0:25:52 > 0:25:56But I think we are going in the right direction,

0:25:56 > 0:25:59the competition is so tight right throughout, it's as many wins as you

0:25:59 > 0:26:03can get makes it a lot easier towards the end of the season.

0:26:03 > 0:26:23And trying to stay in touch with those top four teams is important

0:26:23 > 0:26:26What surprised you more? civil engineering or wanting to experience

0:26:26 > 0:26:29the English winter? And Australian

0:26:29 > 0:26:43wanting that! I would have said stay in Australia and come over in

0:26:43 > 0:26:46They were at Castleford on Sunday, and this was not a day

0:26:46 > 0:26:47for either of them to remember.

0:26:47 > 0:26:49Or you are impressed by Castleford?

0:26:49 > 0:26:52I like watching them, they've got a great team.

0:26:52 > 0:26:53The way their forwards interchange is fantastic.

0:26:53 > 0:26:56This man, he got a hat-trick, ten this year.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58What has been the key for them?

0:26:58 > 0:27:00They are scoring for fun!

0:27:00 > 0:27:05I think their defence is very good.

0:27:05 > 0:27:09They've always been able to score tries, they'd get 20 points a game,

0:27:09 > 0:27:11but the other teams would get more points,

0:27:11 > 0:27:14but now they are defending well.

0:27:14 > 0:27:18And they are winning matches.

0:27:18 > 0:27:19And they are really good to watch.

0:27:19 > 0:27:22Brian, you are nodding away.

0:27:22 > 0:27:25People are not finding them out, it's just that they are playing

0:27:25 > 0:27:25better.

0:27:25 > 0:27:28This boy, he's a revelation.

0:27:28 > 0:27:31I think they have set the platform for what they want to

0:27:31 > 0:27:37do, they can pass.

0:27:39 > 0:27:42You have to be good on them if you stand any chance

0:27:42 > 0:27:43of beating Castleford.

0:27:43 > 0:27:47It was a tough one.

0:27:47 > 0:27:51The team couldn't match them, Hull Kingston Rovers.

0:27:51 > 0:27:56Well, that is pace to burn, as we can see.

0:27:56 > 0:28:02That is a new lace of life, and he loves it.

0:28:02 > 0:28:07Justin Carney, missing, suspended, but they keep scoring without him.

0:28:07 > 0:28:10You might have thought that would have been a hick up,

0:28:10 > 0:28:16but he wasn't missed at all.

0:28:16 > 0:28:18He is a great player.

0:28:18 > 0:28:22I think they have the team to keep going.

0:28:22 > 0:28:26They take on Wigan in the quarterfinals on Saturday.

0:28:26 > 0:28:29Can they do it to?

0:28:29 > 0:28:33Yes, and they think they can do it so it will be tough for Wigan.

0:28:33 > 0:28:37Let's not underestimate the task at hand.

0:28:37 > 0:28:44Castleford will have to be at their best.

0:28:44 > 0:28:45Has Luke Dorn surprise to you?

0:28:45 > 0:28:47Not in the slightest.

0:28:47 > 0:28:53Everyone is playing very well.

0:28:53 > 0:28:57A lot of the team are playing very well that can back up the team.

0:28:57 > 0:29:00Michael Weyman, he got himself red carded.

0:29:00 > 0:29:01They don't need it.

0:29:01 > 0:29:05I think he was talking about the freestanding bridge.

0:29:05 > 0:29:14A bit of civil engineering went over the head of the referee.

0:29:14 > 0:29:19For Castleford, they are not surprising anybody any more.

0:29:19 > 0:29:24Is it now about belief as to how far they can get?

0:29:24 > 0:29:34I think they have enough belief and confidence to keep going.

0:29:34 > 0:29:36This bloke, wow, don't leave him alone!

0:29:36 > 0:29:38You'll be in trouble!

0:29:38 > 0:29:41That is confidence, that is people expecting things to happen.

0:29:41 > 0:29:45They going to have to be good at Wigan, and they are not going to

0:29:45 > 0:29:48be fearful.

0:29:48 > 0:29:52And what about the strength in depth?

0:29:52 > 0:29:55They have a few new players that haven't featured every week.

0:29:55 > 0:29:59That is the big thing, the depth they have.

0:29:59 > 0:30:08I think it was on the sidelines, he has been very good.

0:30:08 > 0:30:12When you have those kinds of blokes that can come in and play well,

0:30:12 > 0:30:14it's a good situation to be in.

0:30:14 > 0:30:18Come the play-offs, they will be in the play-offs, what can they do?

0:30:18 > 0:30:19It'll be fairly new for them.

0:30:19 > 0:30:23You wouldn't want to go down The Jungle, you wouldn't want to go

0:30:23 > 0:30:26there because you know that they play that field very well.

0:30:26 > 0:30:31They never seem to struggle.

0:30:31 > 0:30:48But, absolutely, they are a threat.

0:30:48 > 0:30:49Huddersfield kicked off the

0:30:49 > 0:30:52season with a win at Wigan. David

0:30:52 > 0:30:55Woods was watching. Wigan's youngsters have been doing well in

0:30:55 > 0:30:57the absence of one or two of their

0:30:57 > 0:31:00senior players. Huddersfield hoping that last week's defeat was just a

0:31:00 > 0:31:06blip. It was five wins out of five before that.

0:31:06 > 0:31:13It is good to see O'Loughlin back and starting.

0:31:18 > 0:31:20Away goes Williams.

0:31:20 > 0:31:23Burn is involved as well and O'Loughlin and now there is room

0:31:23 > 0:31:25on the right-hand side.

0:31:25 > 0:31:29O'Loughlin is back in support.

0:31:29 > 0:31:34A wonderfully executed try for Wigan.

0:31:34 > 0:31:39A good moment on his return for Sean O'Loughlin as well.

0:31:39 > 0:31:43Just the start that Wiggin were hoping for.

0:31:43 > 0:31:48Came here with the numbers.

0:31:48 > 0:31:53O'Loughlin to finish.

0:31:53 > 0:31:57Hughes.

0:31:57 > 0:31:58Smith.

0:31:58 > 0:32:00Back to Mattie Burn.

0:32:00 > 0:32:02He has room on the outside.

0:32:02 > 0:32:04He has gone back on the in.

0:32:04 > 0:32:07He scored the try.

0:32:07 > 0:32:13There were two or three screaming for it on the outside,

0:32:13 > 0:32:19but he saw a path down the middle.

0:32:19 > 0:32:21A full-back who is finding his form in recent weeks.

0:32:21 > 0:32:24Scoring a memorable try.

0:32:24 > 0:32:29A good run.

0:32:29 > 0:32:33Robinson.

0:32:33 > 0:32:38Good hard work by Bailey.

0:32:38 > 0:32:45A little closer to that Wigan line.

0:32:45 > 0:32:47Robinson.

0:32:47 > 0:32:49Here is Brough with a pass.

0:32:49 > 0:32:52Flighted to perfection!

0:32:52 > 0:33:00Murphy with a catch and a touchdown, but the long pass from Danny Brough.

0:33:00 > 0:33:07It was a thing of beauty.

0:33:14 > 0:33:18A roll over for the big fella.

0:33:18 > 0:33:25The referee is not sure here.

0:33:25 > 0:33:26REFEREE:

0:33:26 > 0:33:33I just want to make sure he hasn't used his own man as an obstruction?

0:33:33 > 0:33:35Is he obstructing anybody there?

0:33:35 > 0:33:41He doesn't appear to be.

0:33:41 > 0:33:48As a result, Huddersfield are right back in it now!

0:33:48 > 0:33:51You know what he is going to do.

0:33:51 > 0:33:55It is a case of how do you stop him?

0:33:55 > 0:33:56Wardle.

0:33:56 > 0:33:59He has seen a gap there.

0:33:59 > 0:34:05Here comes Brough and they came from both sides.

0:34:05 > 0:34:07They're still going here Huddersfield.

0:34:07 > 0:34:11Ferris is held up.

0:34:11 > 0:34:15Wigan are running out of numbers and Wardle is in.

0:34:15 > 0:34:24From 12-0 down Huddersfield have the lead.

0:34:24 > 0:34:28A super response from last year's League leaders.

0:34:28 > 0:34:34Wardle starting it.

0:34:34 > 0:34:46From that position, they have the momentum and the numbers.

0:34:46 > 0:34:48Here is Ferris.

0:34:48 > 0:34:52Here is Wardle who is going to run to the line.

0:34:52 > 0:34:59He is going to get there.

0:34:59 > 0:35:02Bowen went was the closest, but never close enough.

0:35:02 > 0:35:05But what about the play from Brett Ferris?

0:35:05 > 0:35:06Immense.

0:35:06 > 0:35:10He has taken three defenders out.

0:35:10 > 0:35:16Got the arm free and it is a walk away for Wardle to score thereafter.

0:35:17 > 0:35:23Brough.

0:35:25 > 0:35:31Huddersfield are in their pomp again.

0:35:31 > 0:35:33It is Brough with a dropped goal. in their pomp again.

0:35:33 > 0:35:37It has gone over and that means Huddersfield are now

0:35:37 > 0:35:39three scores ahead.

0:35:39 > 0:35:44He had his moments and his misses on this ground,

0:35:44 > 0:35:49but this time it is accurate.

0:35:50 > 0:35:53A good effort by Jack Hughes.

0:35:53 > 0:35:58Wigan in touching distance of their try line now,

0:35:58 > 0:36:03but here comes the sixth tackle.

0:36:03 > 0:36:06Mattie Smith looking to measure the kick.

0:36:06 > 0:36:10All intact and the try is given.

0:36:10 > 0:36:15Well, there is life in Wigan left yet.

0:36:15 > 0:36:20Smith's kick here.

0:36:25 > 0:36:30Well, if they can get another back quickly who knows here from Wigan.

0:36:39 > 0:36:46And Huddersfield now surely confirm their victory.

0:36:46 > 0:36:54Well, the ref is asking a question, did he put a foot in touch there?

0:36:54 > 0:37:01Not there.

0:37:01 > 0:37:03Still inside the line so far.

0:37:03 > 0:37:06Still inside the line.

0:37:06 > 0:37:09REFEREE:

0:37:09 > 0:37:11And the decision is try.

0:37:11 > 0:37:22Those first few steps were vital.

0:37:22 > 0:37:25It was head back and off he goes!

0:37:25 > 0:37:32And Huddersfield are on their way now to a win without any doubt.

0:37:37 > 0:37:42And it will be a try and a corner for Burgess.

0:37:42 > 0:37:46It ain't going to make too much of a difference.

0:37:46 > 0:37:50Huddersfield registering a terrific win here tonight

0:37:50 > 0:37:57and Wigan missing the chance to go second in the table.

0:37:57 > 0:38:00How much did Huddersfield need that after the performance they put

0:38:00 > 0:38:03in against St Helens?

0:38:03 > 0:38:08Well, let's not forget they went 12-0 down at the start

0:38:08 > 0:38:11of the game and Wigan generally kick on, but they were tough enough

0:38:11 > 0:38:18mentally to Huddersfield because the scoreline suggested it was close.

0:38:18 > 0:38:24Having a couple of balls recognise ricocheting.

0:38:24 > 0:38:29Let's see that from Brett Ferris.

0:38:29 > 0:38:33He makes this look easy, but how difficult is it?

0:38:33 > 0:38:36It is incredibly difficult.

0:38:36 > 0:38:39It is not something you can really coach and especially if you

0:38:39 > 0:38:41have got small hands like myself.

0:38:41 > 0:38:53He is one of those players who can change hands.

0:38:53 > 0:38:56He is a player who really seems to have come into his own?

0:38:56 > 0:39:01Well, he has been around for a while.

0:39:01 > 0:39:04But he has come into his own.

0:39:04 > 0:39:07Those little pieces of skill are often the difference

0:39:07 > 0:39:13teen winning and losing and to have a player like Brett

0:39:13 > 0:39:17Ferris and he has developed and he has honed his skills to perfection.

0:39:17 > 0:39:18Wigan have used the young kids.

0:39:18 > 0:39:19They have had to.

0:39:19 > 0:39:21They have had so many injuries.

0:39:21 > 0:39:26Do you think this was a game too far for them?

0:39:26 > 0:39:29The last few weeks they've probably got a couple of wins that

0:39:29 > 0:39:34they maybe weren't expecting.

0:39:34 > 0:39:36Leeds and the magic weekend...

0:39:36 > 0:39:38How much would that take out a side?

0:39:38 > 0:39:42Especially a young side to get up emotionally and back it up the next

0:39:42 > 0:39:46week and three weeks in a row, it will drain you a little bit.

0:39:46 > 0:39:50I guess as you get on, you get more experienced and it becomes natural.

0:39:50 > 0:39:53I mean, they've got a great team there and I wouldn't expect

0:39:53 > 0:39:55them to stay down for too long.

0:39:55 > 0:39:58Let's see how Catalan got on at Widnes.

0:39:58 > 0:40:01Catalan haven't been great on the road, but this was really

0:40:01 > 0:40:02tight, wasn't it, Brian?

0:40:02 > 0:40:05It was tight, wasn't it, Brian?

0:40:05 > 0:40:07It was tight.

0:40:07 > 0:40:11Catalan got off to a ten tight, wasn't it, Brian?

0:40:13 > 0:40:17They have not been great away from home, have they, Catalan?

0:40:17 > 0:40:19Very strong at home.

0:40:19 > 0:40:22They get themselves a dream start.

0:40:22 > 0:40:25You would be frustrated if you are both coaches.

0:40:25 > 0:40:30Widnes are very strong here.

0:40:30 > 0:40:39Widnes called themselves back into the game.

0:40:39 > 0:40:48A very, very good team and execute really well here.

0:40:48 > 0:40:53Both coaches really frustrated because they've won their game

0:40:53 > 0:40:57and they got back in the game and should have won the game.

0:40:57 > 0:41:00One of those nights you think, "Where we really happy with a draw?"

0:41:00 > 0:41:04You see your side twice get a ten point lead and that must be

0:41:04 > 0:41:06hugely frustrating?

0:41:06 > 0:41:12A 10 point lead, I guess, the game plan changes a little bit.

0:41:12 > 0:41:15You start thinking about how to preserve a little bit.

0:41:15 > 0:41:19That's what it seemed that Catalan did a couple of times.

0:41:19 > 0:41:21They have got a great attacking team.

0:41:21 > 0:41:24If they keep playing their natural game I am sure they

0:41:24 > 0:41:25would go along with it.

0:41:25 > 0:41:34Ascari is just scoring for fun.

0:41:35 > 0:41:43If you can get a ball, it is generally a clear run-in.

0:41:43 > 0:41:48What are the things he need to work on in his game?

0:41:48 > 0:41:50I haven't seen enough to comment too much.

0:41:50 > 0:41:55He picks his players to hang around.

0:41:55 > 0:42:01Last week, two weeks ago sorry, you know your off-loaders,

0:42:01 > 0:42:14you know the blokes who can help you and he is doing that really well.

0:42:14 > 0:42:17It is game management. and he is doing that really well.

0:42:17 > 0:42:21The disappointing aspect is not many people go to Widnes

0:42:21 > 0:42:24and have the opportunity to win.

0:42:24 > 0:42:30They like what they do at the stadium there.

0:42:30 > 0:42:35To be in that position and to relinquish it and let Widnes

0:42:35 > 0:42:38in, there will be an element of frustration, but they are closer

0:42:38 > 0:42:40to the away win.

0:42:40 > 0:42:42Both coaches frustrated.

0:42:42 > 0:42:45Let's see how all the weekend's results affected the

0:42:45 > 0:42:53First Utilities Super League table.

0:43:41 > 0:43:44Can you see any of the championship sides springing a surprise?

0:43:44 > 0:43:51Maybe Leeds will turn up and put in a good effort.

0:43:51 > 0:44:00They have got a good structure and know what they are doing

0:44:00 > 0:44:05and know when to do it and they have got good football.

0:44:05 > 0:44:08Leeds need to start well.
