:00:31. > :00:37.Good evening. The race to bd champions of Super League is
:00:38. > :00:44.possibly as open as it has dver been part of the competitors still in
:00:45. > :00:52.with a shout. Tonight we chdck on the form of the runners and riders.
:00:53. > :00:57.Local rivals neck and neck. The Rhinos and the Tigers have the
:00:58. > :01:02.winning line in sight. After a slow start, Warrington Wolves art on the
:01:03. > :01:11.charge. Will be faltering Vhking stay with them? And can last year's
:01:12. > :01:26.leaders prevail? The Giants could be handily placed. I am joined by Josh
:01:27. > :01:33.Hodgson and Jamie Peacock, both involved in the play`off push. We
:01:34. > :01:37.will start this week at the wrong end of the Super League table and
:01:38. > :01:44.with games running out this season, Sunday with D`Day for Bradford. 14
:01:45. > :01:50.left to play for, so defeat at Huddersfield what renegade the
:01:51. > :02:02.Bradford Bulls for the first time in 40 years.
:02:03. > :02:15.Good defence from the Huddersfield Giants. Luke George is on the wing
:02:16. > :02:33.to score. He touches down against his former club to port Bradford in
:02:34. > :02:46.front. Touchdown for the Huddersfield Giants. A lovely
:02:47. > :03:02.sidestep. Add a mo Brian. If the Bulls are going to go down, they
:03:03. > :03:19.will go down fighting. McGillivray lost the ball. It is a nightmare for
:03:20. > :03:33.Brett Carney. Gaskell with dgg trick towards the corner. George gets it
:03:34. > :03:42.down. A second try for Luke George. `` Gaskell with a kick towards the
:03:43. > :04:02.corner. Could Joe is over h`lfway. Robinson on the inside. `` Cudjoe.
:04:03. > :04:11.Chris Bailey gives the Hudddrsfield Giants believe the first thhs
:04:12. > :04:20.afternoon. A high kick for the Huddersfield Giants. Cudjoe onto the
:04:21. > :04:49.ball. McGilvray makes the most of it.
:04:50. > :05:03.Carney is looking to chase this one down. Luke George Hicks it tp. What
:05:04. > :05:10.all has stripped the ball. `` Luke George picks it up. That cotld be it
:05:11. > :05:25.for the Bradford balls and the Super League survival.
:05:26. > :05:41.This is far too easy for thd Huddersfield Giants. McGilvray goes
:05:42. > :05:55.in at the corner. He is there with a hat`trick try. Carney picks it up to
:05:56. > :06:11.score. It is a consolation for the travelling Bradford supportdrs.
:06:12. > :06:26.Bradford have been relegated. Relegation was inevitable for
:06:27. > :06:33.Bradford, but house sad havd you been to the then go? It is ` sad
:06:34. > :06:41.feeling, but it has been coling for a while. I am not shocked bx it We
:06:42. > :06:47.have had a lot of lies from management and the truth tells out
:06:48. > :06:50.on the pitch. The squad havd not been good enough this year, but
:06:51. > :06:58.going forward, there are sole positive signs. Huddersfield got
:06:59. > :07:04.relegated and they came back. Bradford have got good foundations.
:07:05. > :07:09.They have a good chairman and a great fan base, so they can come
:07:10. > :07:15.back up. You look at the table and the fixtures and the results. Do
:07:16. > :07:35.they deserve to go? They have not been good enough. You
:07:36. > :07:37.Players have been wondering whether or they will be paid. And a quick
:07:38. > :07:43.final thought, it will be tough for them next season. They will be a
:07:44. > :07:51.scalp to be ticked off by pdople. It will be difficult for them. Every
:07:52. > :08:01.team that plays Bradford next year will want to beat them. Thrde
:08:02. > :08:04.successive wins for Castleford means Darryl Hunt is
:08:05. > :09:16.An early test of this defence against Castleford, who are flowing
:09:17. > :09:23.with confidence. A little khck that will test them and touchdown by
:09:24. > :09:30.Shenton. The aerial battle apparently won by Justin Carney
:09:31. > :09:34.They are looking to see if Briscoe is interfered with. It lookdd as
:09:35. > :09:43.though it was a straightforward aerial battle between the two. And
:09:44. > :10:11.early blow for the Castleford Tigers. The skipper with thd try.
:10:12. > :10:25.That was a good kick and thhs time Briscoe wins it. This time, Briscoe
:10:26. > :10:38.gets up highest and he scords himself. The kick was flighted to
:10:39. > :10:41.perfection from McGuire. A standing start almost from the player and
:10:42. > :10:55.Briscoe takes advantage. That was a decent effort by Bailey,
:10:56. > :11:05.who is fresh on the field. Six tackles so it will be a kick by
:11:06. > :11:20.Sinfield. Bailey with a charge to the line. He has his name on the
:11:21. > :11:26.scoresheet. Three tries, resulting from three high kick. And it is
:11:27. > :11:43.Leeds' turn to prosper again. Marc Sneyd, spinning it awax.
:11:44. > :11:50.Shenton stretching the defence. He is having a super season.
:11:51. > :11:59.Marc Sneyd, looking to keep it alive. Over the top it goes. Dixon,
:12:00. > :12:07.looking for a way back down the middle and found it and he had
:12:08. > :12:20.support. It was a quick response by Castleford to go in behind. They
:12:21. > :12:38.score straightaway. The ball over the top by high Iraqi, who was in
:12:39. > :12:50.support. Supplying the finishing touches `` Hauraki Chris Ablett to
:12:51. > :13:01.straighten things out. I thhnk he touched it down.
:13:02. > :13:12.The referee, you can hear from him, he has lost it. There, it is lost.
:13:13. > :13:25.Was there a Castleford handle this? It does not look like it. The
:13:26. > :13:26.touchdown is completed. And Carl Ablett is given the score that gives
:13:27. > :13:50.Leeds the lead again. That was a lovely offload. Picking
:13:51. > :13:59.up from dummy half. Nathan Lassey. He is over. The Leeds' defence went
:14:00. > :14:13.to sleep. Massey showed excdptional sharpness. The offload in the first
:14:14. > :14:20.instance racking up a few ddfenders. Massey spotted a huge gap in the
:14:21. > :14:29.defence. I think Carl Ablett tried to get back but the damage had been
:14:30. > :14:40.done. A look around. A surghng effort from Massey. That takes three
:14:41. > :14:50.Leeds defenders. Castleford have the numbers. It is a chance. Carney is
:14:51. > :14:55.into score. They are looking for the obstruction, inevitably. Dods
:14:56. > :15:07.Michael Shenton cause an obstruction, when he runs. They are
:15:08. > :15:11.letting it play on, no they are not. No try because of obstruction. It
:15:12. > :15:25.does not go down well with the Castleford coaching team. Trying to
:15:26. > :15:34.find a way through. It was tntidy, but Leeds keep possession and keep
:15:35. > :15:44.it alive. Sinfield. Kevin Shnfield is driving it in. Within striking
:15:45. > :15:54.range. Still all square in the game. Moon with the chip back and
:15:55. > :15:59.Carl Ablett with the grubber kick. Has he got spare? Carl Ablett is
:16:00. > :16:05.claiming it. The referee wants to have another look. Remember, you can
:16:06. > :16:15.score with any part of your upper body. It looked like his fotr arm
:16:16. > :16:23.was across that. It was tight, but it is a try. Leeds have the lead
:16:24. > :16:24.again. It is down to determhnation to keep the opportunity going. Carl
:16:25. > :16:40.Ablett has got their just in time. That pass bounced off the chest of
:16:41. > :16:49.Carl Ablett and the referee said to play on. That was a good offload.
:16:50. > :16:57.Luke Dorn. Sinfield just about dragging him down. Oh, Kevin
:16:58. > :17:07.Sinfield! Puts the head into Luke Dorn. My word! We will have a look
:17:08. > :17:13.at this. It is a rare moment of Kevin Sinfield is losing his rag.
:17:14. > :17:18.There will be trouble for this. The look of surprise on the facd of Luke
:17:19. > :17:29.Dorn. It is a red card. Kevhn Sinfield is sent off. The vdry first
:17:30. > :17:35.time in his career. Kevin Shnfield sees red. What an extraordinary
:17:36. > :17:45.moment, absolutely extraordhnary. There is an element of disbdlief
:17:46. > :17:50.around here. Castleford are looking to take advantage of the extra man,
:17:51. > :17:57.if they can. That was lost. It is a penalty. Interference. It is a
:17:58. > :18:10.penalty for Castleford and they will get another set. Millington. Grant
:18:11. > :18:17.Millington is over. Minutes left in the game. Millington scores.
:18:18. > :18:25.Castleford have a chance to draw level. Leeds are unsettled by the
:18:26. > :18:29.sending off of their skipper and Castleford are back in it. Larc
:18:30. > :18:35.Sneyd with a chance to bring the scores level again. And as the sun
:18:36. > :18:45.sets, Marc Sneyd scores and it is all square with moments left to
:18:46. > :18:50.play. Maybe one last chance. Danny McGuire will be the obvious man He
:18:51. > :18:56.was in position for the drop goal and it goes back to Jamie Pdacock,
:18:57. > :19:06.who pulls it wide. The game has had so much incident. How remarkable if
:19:07. > :19:12.Peacock had scored but it w`s clearly McGuire who was the intended
:19:13. > :19:25.target. The dummy half faildd to pick him out. It remains all square.
:19:26. > :19:28.What a game that was. That hs what derby games are about. You want to
:19:29. > :19:34.beat your rivals and it went down to the final minutes. Probably one of
:19:35. > :19:42.the most tiring games I havd played in. It was draining. Leeds light
:19:43. > :19:45.have won it if the last minttes had gone differently, and Castldford
:19:46. > :19:55.would have thought they could win it if this try had been awarded.
:19:56. > :20:03.Carney. Obstruction again. Common`sense said it is a try, but
:20:04. > :20:08.technically, it cannot be a try Calum Watkins was impeded for a
:20:09. > :20:12.second. Possibly he could h`ve got Carney if Shenton had not btmped
:20:13. > :20:18.into him. This is the way the game is run and it is black and white. A
:20:19. > :20:24.lot of people were angry about that, and it is not the referee's fault.
:20:25. > :20:30.We have to get on with it. Ht needs looking at at the end of thd season.
:20:31. > :20:34.Going back to it, you cannot look at a tries scored at 30 minutes from
:20:35. > :20:41.the end of time and said, wd would have won. It would not mean you
:20:42. > :20:47.would go on and win the gamd. Castleford, where is the improvement
:20:48. > :20:52.coming from under Daryl Powdll? He has a good team ethos and a group of
:20:53. > :20:58.players who are willing to work hard for each other. They are a team that
:20:59. > :21:05.works hard for each other and does the little things well. Thex are a
:21:06. > :21:11.brilliant team. I want to t`lk about composure. There were two moments
:21:12. > :21:15.featuring yourself, Jamie, `nd the captain. The headlines were about
:21:16. > :21:21.the sending off of Kevin Sinfield. What did he say to you? He
:21:22. > :21:26.apologised afterwards. He s`id it cost us the game. We said it did
:21:27. > :21:33.not. There are 1000 other incidents that get one. In rugby, people put
:21:34. > :21:38.heads together and I think that is what happened. He was sent off. He
:21:39. > :21:47.served his punishment and hd has a two match ban. We have this moment.
:21:48. > :21:53.This was sublime. It was ridiculous. It shows a lack of composurd from
:21:54. > :22:00.ourselves at the end. I am glad he hit the ball to be honest. H thought
:22:01. > :22:05.it was going over. Everybodx else was in front. I thought I h`d to
:22:06. > :22:13.have a go and it was not to be. Kevin Sinfield, a two match ban Is
:22:14. > :22:17.that about right, a bit lenhent I do not think it was an intentional
:22:18. > :22:26.head`butt. I think he went to put his head in, like stags do, so to
:22:27. > :22:32.speak, and Luke Dorn did not do that. It made it look worse. The
:22:33. > :22:37.reigning champions Wigan ard doing their bit. They have the ch`nce to
:22:38. > :22:46.leapfrog everybody on Fridax. Hull FC. Fielding a depleted sidd. They
:22:47. > :23:08.showed plenty of strength in depth. I am a fan of how Wigan plax.
:23:09. > :23:43.Hull were level until about 25 minutes. It is embarrassing. George
:23:44. > :23:49.Williamson stepped up though. Wigan pride themselves on working hard and
:23:50. > :24:02.having players that can slot in effortlessly. They have an `bundance
:24:03. > :24:15.of talent at the club. No m`tter who is injured, there will be someone to
:24:16. > :24:19.replace them. This is the h`t`trick try for Williams. He had a really
:24:20. > :24:27.good night for Wigan. You mdntioned Lee Radford. One or two of his
:24:28. > :24:32.players will be personally embarrassed. He said there were some
:24:33. > :24:39.unbelievably average perforlances. He is right. In this countrx we get
:24:40. > :24:46.rid of the coach to quickly. When you take over a squad, you haven't
:24:47. > :24:51.got all the players you want. Some players are on too much mondy for
:24:52. > :25:07.their position. It needs to be sorted out and back can takd time.
:25:08. > :25:18.Six points of the play`off place. It will be hard for them to cl`im this
:25:19. > :25:23.back. Some of the errors, it's down to the players. It is reallx
:25:24. > :25:35.disappointing to see. We want everyone striving week in wdek out.
:25:36. > :25:41.Wigan must be doing something right. 153 points in three games.
:25:42. > :25:48.Absolutely. This should havd been stopped on the ten metre line. He
:25:49. > :25:50.still manages to score. What Lee Radford said about being
:25:51. > :25:54.embarrassed, you have seen ht right there. That is three games done but
:25:55. > :26:08.there is plenty more to comd. Could the Dragons breathe ndw life
:26:09. > :26:18.into their play`off push? Brett Ferres takes time to reflect on a
:26:19. > :26:32.giant 12 months. And will bd Robins be rocked by the resurgent Red
:26:33. > :26:38.Devils? Super League's clubs leave few stones unturned and Warrington
:26:39. > :26:42.have been looking at a couple of Serbian international 's who have
:26:43. > :26:50.been training with that club for the last couple of weeks. Our agent
:26:51. > :26:57.spoke to Warrington about a trial and they were happy to see ts here.
:26:58. > :27:02.This is like a dream come true. When you sit in Serbia and watch Super
:27:03. > :27:06.League, you can only imagind playing and training with these guys. It is
:27:07. > :27:12.an honour for me to be here training with these players. They have been a
:27:13. > :27:17.pleasure to be around from day one and it has been a great expdrience.
:27:18. > :27:21.It is our way of supporting developing countries in terls of
:27:22. > :27:26.rugby league. As you can sed, they are weak, physical human behngs
:27:27. > :27:34.They like the rough and tough aspect of rugby league and that suhts us.
:27:35. > :27:40.It suits our sport. A lot of players deserve a chance to come here and
:27:41. > :27:47.maybe play in some lower le`gues because that can help the Sdrbian
:27:48. > :27:52.national team to go up. Our national team cannot compare to any Super
:27:53. > :27:59.League club. It might be a sad story, but it is true. I will put
:28:00. > :28:07.them at championship one level. I have told them where we are at. The
:28:08. > :28:14.larger one said, not Super League? I said not yet. I have said to
:28:15. > :28:20.everyone I could stay here for a lifetime trial because it is really
:28:21. > :28:24.good. It is the best 20 days of my life. It is a dream come trte and I
:28:25. > :28:31.hope that we will come back here and stay longer than this. A grdat
:28:32. > :28:37.story. Good luck to them. W`rrington were involved in another local derby
:28:38. > :28:47.on Friday night. They locked horns with Widnes. Dave awards watched and
:28:48. > :29:05.emotional evening unfolds. Added emotion to night after the
:29:06. > :29:24.death of the Warrington supdr fan Pat Price.
:29:25. > :29:32.What a wonderful tribute by both sets of supporters. It is a Widnes
:29:33. > :29:37.type tonight who need to win to keep hold of that top eight placd. They
:29:38. > :29:42.have only picked up eight points from their last three games. They
:29:43. > :29:48.need to turn the momentum around. Warrington on the back of tdn
:29:49. > :29:59.straight wins. They have moved into the semifinals of the Champhons
:30:00. > :30:02.League. Clark at a dummy half. Tickle testing the Warrington
:30:03. > :30:11.defence. It has been a good opening so far to this game. The angle is
:30:12. > :30:16.excellent. Has he got over here He just held it up. They will have to
:30:17. > :30:23.go back ten metres and play the game again. Widnes took it quickly here.
:30:24. > :30:30.An opportunity if they move it. It's in the corner! It did not t`ke them
:30:31. > :30:40.long to respond to their inhtial disappointment. Widnes rest`rting
:30:41. > :30:51.and moving it out. It is a very good finish.
:30:52. > :31:08.They are in a good position again. That was a knock`on, was it? The
:31:09. > :31:20.referee has set, play on. C`hill will spin it left. They want another
:31:21. > :31:32.look. Was there and knock`on from John Clark? That scene to go
:31:33. > :31:39.backwards. Try is confirmed and what a time to score. Witness's second
:31:40. > :31:44.try for minutes before the break. They should have a two scord
:31:45. > :31:51.have kept it alive, although it has have kept it alive, although it has
:31:52. > :32:01.been a little bit scrappy. Steve O'Connor is a happy man. Thdre might
:32:02. > :32:07.still be an opportunity herd. Where on the stroke of half`time. Clark is
:32:08. > :32:15.looking to organise things `gain. Two horrific hands! A brillhant
:32:16. > :32:22.finish by Flynn. Atkins was all over him, but Flynn managed to gdt into
:32:23. > :32:27.the corner. There was a wonderful flick pass in the middle of that.
:32:28. > :32:34.Hanbury just gets it away, `lthough it took some finishing. At the break
:32:35. > :32:51.they have a healthy leaves, the Widnes Vikings. `` healthy lead
:32:52. > :32:59.Well taken by Ormesby. A wonderful pass. Russell dropped it and now
:33:00. > :33:07.Flynn can pick it up. Widnes are going back the other way. Flynn is
:33:08. > :33:12.making easy meat of the defdnce Phelps will finish it off. Ht
:33:13. > :33:19.started as an attacking kick. It became a counter attack and now
:33:20. > :33:25.Widnes have the last laugh. This looked as if it was turning into
:33:26. > :33:31.something special from Ormesby, but he let himself down by forchng the
:33:32. > :33:36.past, which does not hit thd hands of Russell. Instead, Flynn provides
:33:37. > :33:36.the return and Phelps with the speed to finish
:33:37. > :33:48.the return and Phelps with the things off. Widnes had another.
:33:49. > :33:58.A slip in defence from Stef`n Marsh. Away goes Atkins to score the try
:33:59. > :34:05.that gives Warrington a little bit of hope. For scores back, they
:34:06. > :34:15.were, but this moment of magic from Ryan Atkins with a wonderful turn of
:34:16. > :34:23.pace has given them a glimmdr. Currie those it back to the middle.
:34:24. > :34:38.`` Currie throws it back to the middle. It goes. It is going to be
:34:39. > :34:41.another try! Chris Bridge c`nnot celebrate just yet. The refdree one
:34:42. > :34:55.is to know if there was an obstruction. `` the referee wants to
:34:56. > :35:00.know if there was an obstruction. It is two tries in two minutes.
:35:01. > :35:05.Warrington suddenly have a decent chance of a fight back. Thex will
:35:06. > :35:09.want to keep the momentum going having scored those two trids in the

:36:28. > :36:33.One tackle left in this set. There is still time for a Warrington
:36:34. > :36:44.comeback, but the question hs is there the will? Another school with
:36:45. > :36:54.magical handling. They are looking at the original knock`on. Dhd
:36:55. > :37:10.Ormesby tapped that forward? It is not a try. Ratchford has bedn
:37:11. > :37:18.denied. It was sensational bone `` it was sensational, even though it
:37:19. > :37:28.was disallowed. A tackle on O Brien. Warrington pick up and carrx on
:37:29. > :37:33.Currie with a finish. Warrington have not given up yet. Therd is
:37:34. > :37:41.still ten minutes to go, but they have to have this judged in their
:37:42. > :37:52.favour in the first instancd. Did a Fort go in touch? It is a try. He'll
:37:53. > :38:19.is very another set of six. Stefan Larch
:38:20. > :38:23.bringing it back. Right through the centre of the Warrington defence to
:38:24. > :38:29.make sure of victory. Here we go again. It will be passed our
:38:30. > :38:30.bedtimes at the time we havd finished tonight. Another vhdeo
:38:31. > :38:46.reverie. `` video referee. It will surely still be Widnes'
:38:47. > :38:52.night to night and a happy night for their owner. Another of those
:38:53. > :38:57.decisions to finish the match. What a result, you would not havd called
:38:58. > :39:03.that? I do not think anyone would have called that. Two points the
:39:04. > :39:12.Widnes, that is massive thel to keep spot in the eighth. It was `lmost
:39:13. > :39:17.two different games. Tony Slith s body language, he did not enjoy
:39:18. > :39:22.that. He called his team boring You would not associate that with
:39:23. > :39:26.Warrington. Not with team is coached by Tony Smith. Take your ch`nces and
:39:27. > :39:31.have the skill to take the chances. I do not think Warrington dhd that.
:39:32. > :39:37.He does not like to see fivd drives and a kick. Widnes, their ddfence,
:39:38. > :39:46.in the first half particularly, it was immense. They showed re`l
:39:47. > :39:51.determination. This was a kdy point in the game. Warrington got a bit of
:39:52. > :39:57.form and momentum. They looked like they would come back. Some drrors
:39:58. > :40:02.from Warrington, some of thdm forced by defence and some of them on
:40:03. > :40:08.forced. That was the story `t the beginning of the year. On forced
:40:09. > :40:13.errors, they will upset Tonx. Credit to Widnes. They had to play three
:40:14. > :40:18.games in eight days. They h`ve come through that. Look at that hs
:40:19. > :40:24.running for Warrington. That is really tough. That is a plax`off
:40:25. > :40:28.before the play`offs. That kind of run, you will be ready for the
:40:29. > :40:30.play`offs by the time you h`ve got through those fixtures.
:40:31. > :40:33.Wigan's victory over Hull FC saw St Helens knocked off top spot,
:40:34. > :40:36.but their trip to London offered them the opportunity to reg`in that
:40:37. > :40:39.position and Jamie they had little trouble in doing so
:40:40. > :40:50.That is all you expected ag`inst the London side, average age 21. Average
:40:51. > :40:58.age of 20. They are re`building already. You cannot judge any thing
:40:59. > :41:02.by this performance against London. You have to get up there and show
:41:03. > :41:13.you are motivated. That was a great run, from Alex Walmsley. Wh`t have
:41:14. > :41:21.you made of St Helens? They started the season on a flyer. I thhnk a lot
:41:22. > :41:26.of people, St Helens fans, would admit they built`up expectations.
:41:27. > :41:33.They have been hot and cold since. A couple of games they have ldt
:41:34. > :41:42.themselves down. You hammerdd them. They will be disappointed. Xou
:41:43. > :41:48.should not... You will be disappointed with that. But an
:41:49. > :41:54.average age of 20 and is looking to rebuild the next season. Thd problem
:41:55. > :41:59.with St Helens, they beat us, Wigan and Huddersfield, but they have had
:42:00. > :42:06.big losses. If you are beatdn as a top side, it should be one, two
:42:07. > :42:13.tries. They were hammered bx Warrington, Catalan and Hull KR You
:42:14. > :42:18.say you do not fancy then? H do fancy them. We were beaten by them
:42:19. > :42:22.in a tough game. They beat Wigan in the Derby and they beat us hn those
:42:23. > :42:26.games where it feels like it is more than two points in the leagte. They
:42:27. > :42:34.have the team to do it but that is the worrying thing, those ddfeats.
:42:35. > :42:46.The foot injury, the player had been key? Yes. You wonder if it will play
:42:47. > :42:54.a little bit, the couple of defeats, they should have won.
:42:55. > :43:01.Having his best spell of rugby since he came over. Alex Walmsley again.
:43:02. > :43:09.Sia Soliola. You dream of these tries. He pulls away from the
:43:10. > :43:16.defence. It was wonderful. He is flowing. It was a great try.
:43:17. > :43:22.Disappointing from London to concede that of a kick`off. It reminded me
:43:23. > :43:27.of one McDonald's scored ag`inst St Helens at Knowsley Road. Thd crowd
:43:28. > :43:34.love it. We like to get out in the clear, as well. It will be ` big
:43:35. > :43:42.finish to the season. We talked about the Warrington running, Saints
:43:43. > :43:48.have a tough one. They have. I am sure they will look to go into the
:43:49. > :43:55.play`offs in form. If you play those games and pick up momentum, you are
:43:56. > :44:00.in business. It gives you momentum. With it being five teams, wd have
:44:01. > :44:02.won from fifth, but you do not want to finish outside the top four.
:44:03. > :44:05.Wakefield's resurgence under James Webster has been nothhng short
:44:06. > :44:08.Four wins and a draw since his appointment have seen the
:44:09. > :44:12.Those five games have all bden at home though, so a trip to
:44:13. > :44:24.Perpignon at the weekend was a real test of their play`off creddntials.
:44:25. > :44:36.The Catalan Dragon, stopped by Wakefield players. The Dragons look
:44:37. > :44:42.to get first blood in this latch. Sam Williams putting the crossfield
:44:43. > :44:57.kick in. They failed to catch it. The stars and scores in the left
:44:58. > :45:03.corner for Catalan. `` he does. Morgan Escare. Does he have the feet
:45:04. > :45:08.to go all the way? He does. It is hard to stop him when he gets on a
:45:09. > :45:19.run. He is on fine form this season, the French fullback. Catalan attack
:45:20. > :45:26.down the right`hand side. Whitehead powered his way over the line.
:45:27. > :45:34.Elliott Whitehead is showing to be one of the top forwards this season.
:45:35. > :45:42.Williams. That was caught l`te. It goes to the left side and Ghllard
:45:43. > :45:48.with the grubber kick. Zeb Taia gets it down. Inventive play frol the
:45:49. > :45:58.Catalan Dragons. Zeb Taia crosses over. Whitehead, he spotted a gap.
:45:59. > :46:03.He strolls through to score to the right of the sticks. That w`s far
:46:04. > :46:14.too easy for Elliott Whitehdad. James Webster is furious. W`kefield
:46:15. > :46:19.looking for their first points of the afternoon. That was dropped and
:46:20. > :46:23.Morgan Escare has picked it up and will run away for Catalan Dragons.
:46:24. > :46:30.You do not let Morgan Escard breakthrough. It is almost
:46:31. > :46:39.impossible to catch him when he is in full flow, and that was his 0th
:46:40. > :46:45.try of the season. What a t`lent. Matt Ryan. Looking to crash over the
:46:46. > :46:50.line but caught by two Catalan defenders. The referee is not sure
:46:51. > :46:56.about this and will send it upstairs. He wants to check the
:46:57. > :47:06.grounding. Ryan dropped the ball. It was great defending by Whitdhead.
:47:07. > :47:12.The try is chalked off. Ellhott Whitehead! He has charged through
:47:13. > :47:14.Paul Sykes like he was not there. That is a hat`trick for Ellhott
:47:15. > :47:27.Whitehead. Sam Williams. Morgan Escare dropped
:47:28. > :47:32.the ball and it was picked tp by the Wildcats will stop Rhys Lynn, he's
:47:33. > :47:42.scores underneath the posts. It is nothing more than a consolation for
:47:43. > :47:46.the Wildcats. The Catalan Dragons breathing fire. They had problems
:47:47. > :47:51.with discipline on the pitch, but they seemed to get it right with
:47:52. > :47:56.controlled aggression. They did get it right. In policing you look at a
:47:57. > :48:01.thin blue line between rugbx league, it is the thin Red Line. Yot have to
:48:02. > :48:06.tiptoe down the line and get it right. Against Wigan, it was too far
:48:07. > :48:11.the other way, but they got it right against Wakefield and that hs why
:48:12. > :48:16.they won easily. When you whn like that, it allows players likd
:48:17. > :48:23.Whitehead to flourish. He dhd that again with a hat`trick. He has been
:48:24. > :48:29.their best player this season. He has bought into the French culture.
:48:30. > :48:36.He is loving his time in Fr`nce He is on 17, which is outstandhng for a
:48:37. > :48:42.forward. 17 tries, fourth in the Super League try scorers list.
:48:43. > :48:49.Morgan Escare in the top as well. Steve Menzies scored a lot of tries,
:48:50. > :48:56.and he has been as good as that The England back row, there is no
:48:57. > :49:05.shoo`in. That was a big movd for him. A bold move. It was. Hd might
:49:06. > :49:07.have seen it as a risk. He could have not bought into their dthos and
:49:08. > :49:08.what have seen it as a risk. He could
:49:09. > :49:12.have not bought into their dthos and what they are looking to be, but he
:49:13. > :49:19.is playing well. What did wd learn about Wakefield? I think thdy will
:49:20. > :49:26.struggle to make the eighth. They had a great run at home, but looking
:49:27. > :49:28.at their fixtures, it might be too much, but they can always btild for
:49:29. > :49:31.next year. It's been an eventful 12 months
:49:32. > :49:33.in the life of Brett Ferres, who helped Huddersfield finhsh top
:49:34. > :49:36.of the table last season and went on to play in all of England's
:49:37. > :49:39.games in the World Cup. He's returned to
:49:40. > :49:41.the Giants team after a fivd`match ban for a dangerous tackle on Jonny
:49:42. > :49:44.Lomax earlier in the season and the former Bradford, Wakefidld and
:49:45. > :49:57.Castleford forward is looking to A piece of silverware at last the
:49:58. > :50:04.Huddersfield. What a moment for Ken Davy and Huddersfield. Getthng that
:50:05. > :50:09.at the end of the season was fantastic. A contrast this season,
:50:10. > :50:18.we have been up and down and not playing too great. We have learned
:50:19. > :50:22.from last year. We will probably raise the standards where wd want to
:50:23. > :50:27.be this year and probably h`ve not reached them. There is a long way to
:50:28. > :50:34.go but we have two pick up the victories and keep the foregoing
:50:35. > :50:45.week in, week out. Waddle rtns to the line. What about the pl`y from
:50:46. > :50:51.Brett Ferres? I have big hands, I am lucky, I can hold the ball ` little
:50:52. > :51:00.bit. We practice a lot and practice with our grip and work hard in those
:51:01. > :51:05.areas. That pass came off. Ht gets us an important try. I like
:51:06. > :51:10.off`loading, I like that aspect of the game, when you create something
:51:11. > :51:15.out of nothing. Sometimes it does not come off and I will not be
:51:16. > :51:18.happy, but when they do, yot get nice moments like that, where you
:51:19. > :51:27.create something from nothing, which is difficult in a game with two good
:51:28. > :51:34.defences. Brett Ferres with support. That was a clever kick. Brett Ferres
:51:35. > :51:38.will follow it up. I think H have kicked on quite a lot since I moved
:51:39. > :51:48.to Huddersfield. It was a good opportunity and charms coming here
:51:49. > :51:54.and working with the club `` chance. I like what he does, he cre`tes an
:51:55. > :52:03.aura around him. He is good within the squad and that keeps people on
:52:04. > :52:11.their toes. We are striving for that perfection, which is hard, but we
:52:12. > :52:17.will get it in the end. A rdally hard time. There was no intdntion in
:52:18. > :52:21.the tackle. I did not want to put anyone in a position where they
:52:22. > :52:24.could get hurt, and it was potentially career threatenhng. I
:52:25. > :52:28.served my time and took my punishment. I am sorry for what I
:52:29. > :52:35.did, and I do not want to do anything like that again stop there
:52:36. > :52:40.are only a few things up for grabs and that is the Grand Final. We are
:52:41. > :52:46.out of the Challenge Cup but we want to pick something up. We tasted
:52:47. > :52:54.success last year, so we hope we can get some this year. One of those
:52:55. > :53:00.players who rarely grabs thd headlines. An unsung hero, how good
:53:01. > :53:05.is he? He is very good. He came through the ranks of Bradford. He
:53:06. > :53:10.was a tough kid, who have the attributes. He has taken a while to
:53:11. > :53:15.find himself. He is aggresshve, skilful and has a huge engine. He is
:53:16. > :53:20.integral to any success Huddersfield will have. He will be a plus for
:53:21. > :53:22.them when he rejoined the tdam. There was a real four`pointdr
:53:23. > :53:24.on Sunday afternoon as both Salford and Hull KR looked to take `dvantage
:53:25. > :53:27.of Wakefield's defeat and edge closer to the coveted eighth spot
:53:28. > :53:38.currently occupied by Widnes. Josh, it was your team. It started
:53:39. > :53:48.well. A trademark try. We started well. It was a story of two halves.
:53:49. > :53:52.Poor defence! I thought we were good first half, but second half we did
:53:53. > :53:57.not seem to turn up, which hs disappointing for the team. Widnes
:53:58. > :54:04.hat to win so we knew how ilportant the two points were. It was a
:54:05. > :54:09.massive game and so it is disappointing for us and wh`t we are
:54:10. > :54:16.trying to achieve, getting ` defeat like this and what happened in the
:54:17. > :54:25.second half. We saw another try for Kate Brown for Salford, an `stute
:54:26. > :54:30.signing. `` Caton`Brown. Thdy signed Kevin Locke, they signed hilself. He
:54:31. > :54:39.has slotted in, he is a wonderful athlete. There was no Kevin Locke
:54:40. > :54:41.and no Gareth Hock for Salford. This is a good example. Mistakes cost
:54:42. > :54:58.you. Talk me through this one. This
:54:59. > :55:05.looked as if it was your second try. It looked as if it will turn the
:55:06. > :55:15.tide, but they did not happdn. I did not get it down. I thought xou did.
:55:16. > :55:23.You can put it on my tally. There were a couple who were sent to the
:55:24. > :55:31.sin`bin. That is classed as a shoulder charge. If we are going to
:55:32. > :55:36.play everything black`and`white that is classed as a shoulddr
:55:37. > :55:54.charge, so it should have bden a penalty. Salford took control. When
:55:55. > :56:02.anything of the back of that and anything of the back of that and
:56:03. > :56:06.Salford total advantage. Salford, three out of three. They ard a
:56:07. > :56:12.different team. They are a great team. It will take them a while to
:56:13. > :56:16.gel. People expect them to come out and be a world`class team. That will
:56:17. > :56:30.not happen when you have buhlt a new squad from scratch. They ard your
:56:31. > :56:33.next opponents on Friday. The way Salford are going, three out of
:56:34. > :56:50.three, that will be interesting They have performed with excellence.
:56:51. > :56:59.Salford are a very attack mhnded team. Can they get in the ehght It
:57:00. > :57:04.will be tough but them to do that. Maybe next you, look out for them.
:57:05. > :57:13.What about your boys? It will be tough. The key game will be Widnes
:57:14. > :57:18.away. Looking forward to finding out who makes it. That is all sdven
:57:19. > :57:49.fixtures. Let's have a look at the Super League table.
:57:50. > :58:04.You can hear full commentarx of that game along with those they's visit.
:58:05. > :58:12.We will be back at a slightly later time next week. The second hs to ask
:58:13. > :58:24.you a man of still question. Throw out a couple of names. Darrdll
:58:25. > :58:31.Clarke, Chris Hill and Elliott Wyatt. They have stood out, all for
:58:32. > :58:41.different reasons. Jamie Pe`cock picking three forwards. Exactly
:58:42. > :58:50.What do you reckon? I have the same three in my head. They have been
:58:51. > :58:59.fantastic. Still a view gamds left to stake their claim. Thanks to Josh
:59:00. > :59:06.and Jamie for the company. We will see you next time. Good night.
