:00:32. > :00:34.It is one of the biggest weeks in the Rugby League calendar.
:00:35. > :00:40.It ends with the Challenge Cup final, and we have a complete review
:00:41. > :00:45.of the Super League weekend. The Tigers and the Rhinos are on their
:00:46. > :00:48.way to the final. Michael Shenton and Danny Maguire
:00:49. > :00:50.have taken a brief detour off the road to Wembley. They
:00:51. > :00:53.will be looking forward and back with us over the next 45 minutes.
:00:54. > :01:05.Here is what is coming up. Our rivals on the rise? Hull KR looking
:01:06. > :01:08.Here is what is coming up. Are Rovers on the rise? Hull KR
:01:09. > :01:12.to stay in the play`off hunt, they play Wigan. Who will go forth and
:01:13. > :01:16.Warrington? The Wolves and the Tigers get back to Super League
:01:17. > :01:19.business. And we are stepping out on Wembley Way. It is cup final week
:01:20. > :01:30.As we're ending the week in the capital
:01:31. > :01:35.Challenge Cup finalists Leeds were there on Sunday,
:01:36. > :01:38.up against Super League's bottom club, London.
:01:39. > :01:39.The Broncos had played 23, lost 23,
:01:40. > :01:41.and suffered some absolute thumpings.
:01:42. > :01:44.The Rhinos rested nine of the team that beat Warrington last week, and
:01:45. > :01:59.Zak Hardaker tackled inside the Broncos 10.
:02:00. > :02:03.Sutcliffe out towards Watkins on the far side.
:02:04. > :02:14.He takes it almost up to the line gets the ball away for Waters.
:02:15. > :02:22.Again it is worked out towards the right`hand side.
:02:23. > :02:27.Watkins takes it along the line and gets it back inside to Sutcliffe.
:02:28. > :02:29.And the Rhinos have found their way through.
:02:30. > :02:38.The pass out of the back of the hand, and Atkins is in.
:02:39. > :02:47.Back in front of the Rhinos' posts again.
:02:48. > :02:52.It goes to Keyes, and the Broncos are in.
:02:53. > :03:02.Booms the pass to Achurch, and Achurch is in!
:03:03. > :03:17.Can Leeds Rhinos spring a counterattack?
:03:18. > :03:19.In the centre field, Hardaker brought the ground,
:03:20. > :03:28.Hardaker is going over for the Rhinos.
:03:29. > :03:51.And the Rhinos in centrefield once again.
:03:52. > :04:01.And it is Dickson who scores on his return for the Broncos.
:04:02. > :04:11.And that is an easy finish straight through the hole.
:04:12. > :04:24.It is Achurch who takes the ball forward.
:04:25. > :04:27.Steps off his man, fends off another and Achurch is in.
:04:28. > :04:38.And it is touched down by Scott Moore.
:04:39. > :04:49.Farah finds Keyes and Keyes has stepped through a gap.
:04:50. > :05:06.And so, Drinkwater with the conversion to put the Broncos ahead.
:05:07. > :05:12.Zak Hardaker stepped his way through.
:05:13. > :05:18.Paul Leighton, out to Sutcliffe, who passes to Watkins
:05:19. > :05:32.And here is Kallum Watkins, scampering towards the line.
:05:33. > :05:34.And Mataitonga, there is the foot in touch.
:05:35. > :05:41.And the Broncos have recorded a sensational victory.
:05:42. > :05:44.It is their first of the Super League season.
:05:45. > :05:55.A number of 1st`team players did not play
:05:56. > :06:02.It has been a very tough season for them.
:06:03. > :06:04.It must get disheartening losing every week.
:06:05. > :06:14.But they have shown a lot of character there.
:06:15. > :06:16.They fought back and showed a lot of character from 30`8.
:06:17. > :06:19.We rested a few players with the cup coming this week.
:06:20. > :06:22.But we have got a good enough team on paper to have
:06:23. > :06:33.It makes it a little bit more difficult now for that top spot.
:06:34. > :06:40.Regardless of the opponents being bottom of
:06:41. > :06:43.the table London, when you lead as you did, as you mentioned, you
:06:44. > :06:49.Maybe a little bit of a lack of experience in the team.
:06:50. > :06:51.Obviously getting into the lead and not able to control
:06:52. > :06:59.We had some of the lads, Ashley Golden, 17 `year`old, he might be
:07:00. > :07:03.bound for the Super League, in 18 months time, but he has been
:07:04. > :07:07.He knows what it takes to be a 1st team player
:07:08. > :07:10.so it will be a good experience for some of the younger guys.
:07:11. > :07:13.I don't know what you thought when you heard that result.
:07:14. > :07:17.It will do their confidence, the world of good, with most people
:07:18. > :07:20.thinking that they would go through the season without winning a game.
:07:21. > :07:22.It definitely shocked the world of rugby.
:07:23. > :07:28.It was a strong team out as Danny said.
:07:29. > :07:35.It must have been a disheartening season
:07:36. > :07:43.but they have stuck together and shown great spirit and character.
:07:44. > :07:45.30`8, the comeback from that is no mean feat.
:07:46. > :07:52.Your mate, Ritchie Mathers, will be down there.
:07:53. > :07:55.They are already assembling players to try to get back into the
:07:56. > :07:58.For a while, they have been planning for next year.
:07:59. > :08:02.Obviously, with the new structure of the lead, they are staying
:08:03. > :08:07.full`time and they have got some experienced players like my mate
:08:08. > :08:13.Richie, and he will bring in real professionalism to them down there.
:08:14. > :08:15.It will be interesting to see how they go next year.
:08:16. > :08:19.What did Brian McDermott say, in training afterwards?
:08:20. > :08:22.I think like I said before, we have got 5 or 6 internationals
:08:23. > :08:24.in that team, definitely enough quality to go
:08:25. > :08:27.down there and get the victory, we did not speak about it much today.
:08:28. > :08:30.We have got the big fixture coming up at the weekend
:08:31. > :08:36.Not putting it to bed, but disappointed
:08:37. > :08:49.Another big trip to London for Leeds.
:08:50. > :08:52.A good win for London, and that actually began on Thursday night.
:08:53. > :08:54.Defending Super League champions Wigan were away against
:08:55. > :08:55.Hull Kingston Rovers, and your commentator
:08:56. > :09:05.If they have not had the best of times travelling east of the
:09:06. > :09:09.Pennines this season. The FISA Bradford, Wakefield and Huddersfield
:09:10. > :09:14.amongst others. Hull Kingston Rovers needing to win after that defeat
:09:15. > :09:21.against Widnes, to keep alive their hopes of the top 8. 1 change to the
:09:22. > :09:28.team who played against Widnes. Craig call is recalled. And a few
:09:29. > :09:40.returning players at just the right time. And Eddie Petty born is on the
:09:41. > :09:46.bench tonight. Here is a Loughlin. Smith shuffling the ball out of the
:09:47. > :09:49.right`hand side. The 1st start since his return for Joel Tomkins here
:09:50. > :09:59.tonight. Looking to build up his match fitness. And as light to the
:10:00. > :10:06.line. The referee is not sure if he has got there. Sanderson, stopping
:10:07. > :10:12.short, was there an element of double movement, was a momentum? The
:10:13. > :10:19.referee has given a try with 2 minutes played. Wigan already have
:10:20. > :10:27.the lead. Building up nicely down this site, real determination from
:10:28. > :10:35.Sanderson to get there. Solidly taken forward by Walker. Still
:10:36. > :10:41.going. That is pretty good. Only 5 yards away. Hodgson, are from dummy
:10:42. > :10:49.half. Lots of space. Gardner estimation Mark they have taken the
:10:50. > :10:59.pass. That was a very difficult 1. He could not quite gather it in.
:11:00. > :11:04.Frustrating times for the new coach, Chris Chester. Learning what it is
:11:05. > :11:17.like to be a coach in the box. This is powerful stuff. Hodgson. Keatings
:11:18. > :11:24.with the kick to the corner. And is it a touchdown? Craig Hall will
:11:25. > :11:28.claim that. The referee wants to see it again. Josh Charnley got his
:11:29. > :11:40.fingertips to it. It is directed away from Cockayne. And that looks
:11:41. > :11:43.as if it was there. It is a score. Hull Kingston Rovers back level,
:11:44. > :11:53.through Craig call, with 20 minutes played. The kit from Keatings. Just
:11:54. > :11:59.about perfect. As was the finish. Farrell. Stepping away. And what
:12:00. > :12:06.about that for a tackle from Gardner? Unbelievable. He loves it,
:12:07. > :12:12.he loves it. And well he might. He has forced the knock`on. The
:12:13. > :12:23.shoulder in. That is how you do it, that is how you do it! Eden. Taken
:12:24. > :12:28.by James Green. He is having an impact since his arrival from the
:12:29. > :12:37.interchange bench. Hodgson. Keatings again. They are coming in numbers,
:12:38. > :12:42.and Jason Chan, what time for Hull Kingston Rovers score. A couple of
:12:43. > :12:45.minutes before the break. And it looks as though they are going to
:12:46. > :13:02.take the lead into half`time, thanks to Jason Chan. Still a couple to go
:13:03. > :13:07.for Wigan. Farrell. Along the line. Sargison has looked handy throughout
:13:08. > :13:14.the evening, troubling that Hull Kingston Rovers defence. And it is
:13:15. > :13:19.picked up by Jason Chan. How quick is the? The chase is after him.
:13:20. > :13:25.Jason Chan tries to step away from Williams. Anti`slip server. Hull
:13:26. > :13:31.Kingston Rovers with all the momentum. Hall, at dummy half. It
:13:32. > :13:40.will be interesting to see if that Wigan defence was ready. It was.
:13:41. > :13:50.Hodgson. Wigan still holding on. Back on the line. Hodgson. Looking
:13:51. > :13:55.left again. Keatings. Over the top. And here comes Ben Cockayne. He
:13:56. > :14:01.finishes what Jason Chan had started. And Hull Kingston Rovers
:14:02. > :14:10.are looking even healthier now, with this lead. Loving it, absolutely
:14:11. > :14:16.loving it. It finished in glory for Hull Kingston Rovers with Ben
:14:17. > :14:19.Cockayne at the corner. Time is running out. Only seven minutes left
:14:20. > :14:24.to play. And Wigan have to score twice. Hull Kingston Rovers only
:14:25. > :14:28.need to put on a show of good defensive work. It will be a very
:14:29. > :14:40.valuable victory for them. That's nice. And here is O'Loughlin. And
:14:41. > :14:45.the seven minutes to play, there is hope for Wigan. Green, creating the
:14:46. > :14:52.hall, and O'Loughlin with the finish. It is nervous as Hull
:14:53. > :14:57.Kingston Rovers Hang on. They are within touching distance of Widnes,
:14:58. > :15:01.with Wiggin needing a win to go top tonight. It had looked as though
:15:02. > :15:06.they were going to be denied, but we are enter the final ten seconds.
:15:07. > :15:14.Wigan moving it wide. This is the last play of the night. And here
:15:15. > :15:26.comes the score. He cannot believe it. They cannot believe it. Wigan
:15:27. > :15:30.have levelled it at 14`14. A valuable two points for Hull
:15:31. > :15:37.Kingston Rovers has been snatched from their grasp, and Wigan have a
:15:38. > :15:42.chance, still, all going top. Matty Smith with a chance to win it. A
:15:43. > :15:46.point for either side is no good. Matty Smith launches it towards
:15:47. > :15:53.goal. And he has missed. He has missed. The trial comes to naught.
:15:54. > :16:00.It is a point apiece, but nowhere near enough for either of these
:16:01. > :16:00.sites. But what if any. Absolutely brilliant finish. Dash`mac what a
:16:01. > :16:16.finish. I was on the edge of my seat
:16:17. > :16:22.watching that. It was definitely a point lost for them. Wigan have
:16:23. > :16:30.showed their quality. They had never say die attitude and composure. It
:16:31. > :16:40.just showed in that clinical finish. What happened in that last ten
:16:41. > :16:43.minutes? Was it a bit of panicking? Especially the centres and fast
:16:44. > :16:49.forwarding, they did well pressuring. Craig Hall tried to come
:16:50. > :16:53.in and shut down the plane. But, with ten seconds to go, I am not
:16:54. > :16:57.sure that it was the right thing to do. What are you thinking when
:16:58. > :17:02.you're defending on the line there, when you're the cosh? You have got
:17:03. > :17:08.to work together and have trust on your insight. Not make any rash
:17:09. > :17:16.decisions. You have got to give credit to Wigan, playing into the
:17:17. > :17:19.last seconds. Gary has been one of their better players, one of their
:17:20. > :17:26.most improved players. And Charlie is a great finisher. The highlight
:17:27. > :17:35.of the match for me, let's have a look at this, from Adie Gardner.
:17:36. > :17:47.Perfect. Definitely. Great technique. I have been on the end of
:17:48. > :17:54.a few of those in my career. Every week. It was great from Adie
:17:55. > :17:57.Gardner. The winger has got to make decisions to come in or stay out.
:17:58. > :18:05.And it was the right one there. I'm sure that Sargison was a little bit
:18:06. > :18:08.sore the next day. That leaves Wigan still handily placed. But it is not
:18:09. > :18:14.a fixture where they would have expected to drop points. Hull
:18:15. > :18:21.Kingston Rovers is still a difficult place to go during the season. Wigan
:18:22. > :18:24.played great, but to show that composure and have that in the back
:18:25. > :18:28.pocket to get themselves out of trouble at the end, they had a good
:18:29. > :18:33.chance of making it at the end. Leaders, Saint Helens, return to
:18:34. > :18:37.Wakefield on Friday night. Their line`up was far from full strength.
:18:38. > :18:43.Your former club, just keeping their noses in front. Definitely, St
:18:44. > :18:48.Helens have a few injuries that people have been talking about. They
:18:49. > :18:57.have some real quality players there, and on the bench. Every week
:18:58. > :19:04.I'm asking how good a finisher he is. Probably the best in the
:19:05. > :19:07.competition now. He is renowned for getting the ball down in the
:19:08. > :19:12.tightest space. He has got a real knack for it. Here's another player
:19:13. > :19:17.that St Helens should be proud of that has come through the system. He
:19:18. > :19:23.is definitely a potential England player, in my opinion. Joint scorer
:19:24. > :19:31.with 24 tries. This is McDonald with his debut try. Good stamina he
:19:32. > :19:36.shows, good gas. Yes, McCormick is out for the season and he comes in.
:19:37. > :19:43.He has had a rough time at all, but to make his debut there and score
:19:44. > :19:52.two tries. He did well. What about Wakefield? We saw Richard Warner
:19:53. > :19:57.running one into the corner. He the good for five weeks. The sort of
:19:58. > :20:01.result makes me think that they are winding down now. They are safe. No
:20:02. > :20:10.chance of getting into the play`offs. As a player you never put
:20:11. > :20:14.your nightly Iraq. But they will be looking forward to the holidays. And
:20:15. > :20:22.St Helens, they have got a lot to play for. And four wins out of five.
:20:23. > :20:25.That is another one. A good little run, St Helens. They might not be
:20:26. > :20:37.impressing a lot of people but they are winning games. Definitely
:20:38. > :20:41.impressive. We played against them twice, and he ran the show both
:20:42. > :20:45.times. They have got people stepping up. We talked about the young lads
:20:46. > :20:56.that they are building a team around, they are doing a good job.
:20:57. > :21:02.That is another one, and possibly there have been rumours that force
:21:03. > :21:05.would be going back to throw you. He would be a big loss, but Burns would
:21:06. > :21:10.be a good signing and a very good player. St Helens continue to lead
:21:11. > :21:13.the way at the top end of the table. Let's find out how everyone
:21:14. > :21:23.else has been shaping up just behind them. The Giants are on a roll.
:21:24. > :21:29.Widnes are next in line for inform Huddersfield. Running with the
:21:30. > :21:36.proles. Bradford looking for a third straight win. They take on Hull FC.
:21:37. > :21:39.And the devil 's work is a visit from the Dragons. Salford play the
:21:40. > :21:46.Catalans. Now Huddersfield have started to
:21:47. > :21:49.string some results together. They were looking
:21:50. > :21:51.for a fourth consecutive victory Do performances matter
:21:52. > :21:59.at this stage of the season? Probably coming up to play`offs and
:22:00. > :22:02.big games performances do matter. You want to get the result
:22:03. > :22:04.and finish as high up But I think Paul Anderson has been
:22:05. > :22:15.very critical of Huddersfield. They are on a decent winning run
:22:16. > :22:19.and they have put themselves right I know he was gutted
:22:20. > :22:30.when he lost to your side. He is a class player
:22:31. > :22:36.and is a real signing for Widnes and has been a big part of what
:22:37. > :22:40.they have done well this season. He has been very impressive this
:22:41. > :22:49.year and he is competing In the centres we have got quite
:22:50. > :22:56.a few good centres coming through, Calum at our place,
:22:57. > :22:59.and it is good for England there are some young centres putting pressure
:23:00. > :23:04.on the older guys. Four consecutive victories
:23:05. > :23:07.for Huddersfield, keeping pace rather than setting
:23:08. > :23:12.pace this season as opposed to what they did last year when they ran
:23:13. > :23:15.away with it at the top. They are finding their pace at the
:23:16. > :23:19.right time which is all you can do. How do you rate them alongside
:23:20. > :23:22.the other heavy contenders? Last year they proved it,
:23:23. > :23:30.this year they have started slow, but Huddersfield
:23:31. > :23:35.in the past have started strong and fallen away, but this year they
:23:36. > :23:38.are going to look at what they are Definitely keep your eye
:23:39. > :23:43.on Huddersfield. These last few years we have really
:23:44. > :23:52.struggled against Huddersfield They are definitely contenders this
:23:53. > :24:00.year and probably started the season not as well on the back of
:24:01. > :24:04.a great year last year, but they are showing good form now and it is all
:24:05. > :24:10.about building for the big games. Let's focus on more detail
:24:11. > :24:13.on the big one at Wembley, the Challenge Cup final, live coverage
:24:14. > :24:18.on BBC television on Saturday. Castleford against Leeds
:24:19. > :24:26.and this is how they got there. The Tigers' cup journey began with
:24:27. > :24:29.a short trip to Batley where the Bulldogs of the championship
:24:30. > :24:34.were plotting a surprise. It was comfortable for Cass
:24:35. > :24:41.and there were prophetic post`match We have got
:24:42. > :24:47.a pretty good group here this year and we have to feel confident we can
:24:48. > :24:50.challenge anyone and get The fourth round draw paired leads
:24:51. > :25:01.with Super League opposition. Wakefield were simply blown away
:25:02. > :25:03.by the Rhinos, One of rugby league's great
:25:04. > :25:15.rivalries was renewed in Round 5, Leeds draw against Saint Helens
:25:16. > :25:18.and it was the Rhinos who progressed Leads are through to
:25:19. > :25:37.the quarterfinals of the Castleford will draw at home
:25:38. > :25:44.for the only time in the competition and faced 1998
:25:45. > :25:47.winners Sheffield, but there was no Four tries for Justin Carney,
:25:48. > :25:56.the Tigers safely through. The holders Wigan were next up
:25:57. > :25:59.for Cass and in driving rain They have beaten Wigan
:26:00. > :26:26.on their home turf. Leeds survived
:26:27. > :26:28.a scare to overcome championship Leeds' semifinal opponents were
:26:29. > :26:38.at Warrington. The Wolves beat the Rhinos
:26:39. > :26:41.at Wembley two seasons ago. And Tom Briscoe is going
:26:42. > :27:01.back to Wembley surely. It was a sell`out crowd at
:27:02. > :27:04.Leigh Sports Village to witness the second semifinal, a steam`rolling
:27:05. > :27:08.performance from Cass to set up Just watching that back, Michael,
:27:09. > :27:30.you have come all the way Watching the Leeds Saints game
:27:31. > :27:40.on the telly and enjoying that. We were talking in the changing
:27:41. > :27:43.rooms about a journey we could go on and what the Challenge Cup means for
:27:44. > :27:48.the club and what we could create. Looking back on that how we have
:27:49. > :27:52.progressed through the competition it has been a great journey,
:27:53. > :27:56.but there is one chapter left. Losing the last six finals
:27:57. > :28:03.they have been in. Do you talk about Wembley right
:28:04. > :28:07.from the start? We talk about it start
:28:08. > :28:11.of pre`season in November. Every team has set goals and targets
:28:12. > :28:15.and things they want to achieve The Challenge Cup is such a history
:28:16. > :28:25.and everything that comes with it. It has not been the kindest

:28:34. > :28:43.a journey so far this year, starting Even the Saint Helen's game
:28:44. > :28:48.seems such a long time ago. We have worked hard to get there
:28:49. > :28:54.and you want to finish it off with It is rugby league's big day
:28:55. > :28:57.in the limelight. How much spice is added to it
:28:58. > :29:00.because it is a Derby, We have had some cracking
:29:01. > :29:07.games this year. It is building up nicely to
:29:08. > :29:10.a good game. Each team will be worried about
:29:11. > :29:13.their own job and each player will make sure they do their job and make
:29:14. > :29:17.sure the teams perform as a whole. Leeds looking for their first
:29:18. > :29:21.since 1986. You do not want to come back
:29:22. > :29:24.to Wembley having lost to I am on the border
:29:25. > :29:30.so where I live there is plenty of banter flying around, especially
:29:31. > :29:35.in the sandwich shop I go to. A Castleford fan works in there
:29:36. > :29:39.and gives me stick. I am not going in there this week
:29:40. > :29:42.in case she decides to poison If we win,
:29:43. > :29:48.I will see her on Monday morning. If not,
:29:49. > :29:51.I will stay away for a few weeks. You have not experienced
:29:52. > :29:53.this before. What are you expecting
:29:54. > :29:59.it to be like? I have been to watch a few
:30:00. > :30:06.of the Challenge Cup finals It is about time I was on the right
:30:07. > :30:16.side of it and I am playing there. I think we will build up to it
:30:17. > :30:21.nicely and prepare the best we can. The boys are just excited to be part
:30:22. > :30:25.of it and I cannot wait to lead Castleford's last match
:30:26. > :30:34.before the final was at Warrington. Both teams were looking to finish
:30:35. > :30:38.in the top four. There were two Super League
:30:39. > :30:40.points at stake as well. If Warrington win tonight we will
:30:41. > :30:46.see them leapfrog Castleford Nine players are likely to feature
:30:47. > :30:54.at Wembley in the Challenge Cup Looking to give a good account
:30:55. > :31:29.of themselves here tonight. Atkins will score the first try
:31:30. > :31:52.Shirley. Bridget is at centre tonight, but
:31:53. > :32:02.playing in stand`off it would seem. That is a lovely dummy from Michael
:32:03. > :32:06.Monaghan who has support. Warrington seemed stiff resistance from
:32:07. > :32:23.Castleford, but Warrington get their second breakthrough of the night.
:32:24. > :32:30.The footwork by bridge and a third try. We have to look at the video
:32:31. > :32:35.replay because of the potential obstruction, but that seems fine.
:32:36. > :32:49.The try is confirmed. I wonder how many of these
:32:50. > :32:55.Castleford players are looking to play themselves into the cup final
:32:56. > :33:05.squad next week. And what a finish that might prove to be. He is one of
:33:06. > :33:11.those especially who would consider himself unlucky not to be involved
:33:12. > :33:13.next week, James Clare. That is why, it is a terrific score from the
:33:14. > :33:33.Castleford winger. He has got support from Oliver
:33:34. > :33:44.homes. Stopped in the first instance by the challenge of Evans. That is
:33:45. > :33:48.rather scruffy. A penalty for Castleford. That was the advantage
:33:49. > :33:58.being played. Not square at the marker. Here they come again. Here
:33:59. > :34:05.is Oliver homes. He might just have got there. Yes, he has. Two
:34:06. > :34:18.consecutive Castleford tries either side of the break. They have got the
:34:19. > :34:23.space and the numbers. Rhys Evans on the outside to score. Just to
:34:24. > :34:36.re`establish that Warrington authority again.
:34:37. > :34:47.Warrington poised and eager once again. There is England. A bit, fly
:34:48. > :35:01.in character in the middle of that line. He picked his spot and took
:35:02. > :35:08.his chance. The Castleford defence was too smart on that occasion. But
:35:09. > :35:36.finally Ratchford gets the score. And Joe Monaghan. It is a
:35:37. > :35:46.significant try as well. Warrington are up to fourth, having leapfrogged
:35:47. > :35:51.Castleford. That was a little scrappy, but Evans will finish. He
:35:52. > :35:57.has his second of the night. The referee wants to have a look again.
:35:58. > :36:09.It came off his knee, knocked off his arm, so that is OK. Warrington
:36:10. > :36:21.are going to win by a distance and go for. One of the key things is not
:36:22. > :36:30.picking up any injuries in the days before the cup. We want to send a
:36:31. > :36:35.team that is full of confidence and they want to impress and there is a
:36:36. > :36:39.stake in the final to play for. We went there with confidence, but
:36:40. > :36:47.Warrington were too strong and they played too fast. Their clinical
:36:48. > :36:53.finishing was the difference. Is it have having this quick turnaround
:36:54. > :36:59.between semifinal and final? And are Super League game in the middle! A
:37:00. > :37:04.little bit. But it is a game and we are in the mix in the top four. We
:37:05. > :37:14.want to play well and get the results and it is important we get
:37:15. > :37:19.ourselves in the top four. Warrington are above us on points
:37:20. > :37:24.difference. We have lost that a little bit, but we have got to push
:37:25. > :37:30.it with the Leeds game. It is going so fast and it is such a big week.
:37:31. > :37:39.Brian McDermott has named his Leeds team already which is unusual. Does
:37:40. > :37:45.Justin Carnie comeback? I would assume so, he is one of our elite
:37:46. > :37:52.players. And James Clare with another try. James has stepped in
:37:53. > :37:58.and filled his Blues remarkably well. He has come a long wait this
:37:59. > :38:02.season, one of the most improved. He is full of confidence and he is not
:38:03. > :38:10.want to step back and he has taken his chance as well this season. He
:38:11. > :38:19.might get a shot, but I am not sure. And a very brief word on Warrington.
:38:20. > :38:24.When you lose a big game the week after you want to go out there and
:38:25. > :38:29.write a few wrongs. They were always going to play well this week and
:38:30. > :38:37.they are a force out there. Huddersfield, Saint and Wigan. Two
:38:38. > :38:47.board games to catch up on. And it was Bradford against Citadel. It was
:38:48. > :38:54.how much you made a better start. They certainly did. They have
:38:55. > :38:58.improved of late. They want to build up for next season. They got the
:38:59. > :39:05.start they were looking for but things changed suddenly. This is a
:39:06. > :39:09.try by Foster as Bradford mounted their response. Relegation has been
:39:10. > :39:12.good for them in terms of results. They have played with a bit of
:39:13. > :39:19.freedom because they have got nothing to lose. Jimmy laws has
:39:20. > :39:24.revitalised the team a little bit. You have to feel sorry for Cummings
:39:25. > :39:30.with everything he had to deal with this season. But they are playing
:39:31. > :39:35.well. Bradford have got some very good players and they should not be
:39:36. > :39:46.where they were, really. Now they have found a bit of form. This was a
:39:47. > :39:50.messy effort. Prior to that a player you know quite well goes over for
:39:51. > :39:55.the second try against his parent club. I am pleased for Joe. He has
:39:56. > :40:03.had a tough time over the past couple of years with injuries. He
:40:04. > :40:10.has had a superb game here and is playing some great stuff. They have
:40:11. > :40:20.come back to their parent club a little bit. We have been on the end
:40:21. > :40:25.of that a few times. Kicking the winning goal from the touchline. It
:40:26. > :40:33.has been a difficult season for whole matter. Massive expectations
:40:34. > :40:42.at Hull Mac. But with the signings they are making for next year they
:40:43. > :40:50.are looking very strong. And Danny is getting committed for next
:40:51. > :40:53.season? The championship is looking really strong next year and it is
:40:54. > :41:00.going to be interesting to see how it pans out. That was the best try
:41:01. > :41:07.of the lot as Bradford held on to see off Hull Mac. What about Salford
:41:08. > :41:12.against the Catalan Dragons? The Dragons appear to be fading a little
:41:13. > :41:17.bit, Danny. They are a totally different team when they play away
:41:18. > :41:22.from home. The amount of travel the French team have to deal with is
:41:23. > :41:26.different to what we have to do. I think they just really struggle
:41:27. > :41:34.whenever they come, whether it be Yorkshire Lancashire. They have got
:41:35. > :41:39.London and Bradford away from home. But the form at their place is
:41:40. > :41:42.second to none. An interesting team. They are littered with quality
:41:43. > :41:55.players, but they are struggling a bit. When Kevin Locke gets fully
:41:56. > :42:05.fit, he will be even more dangerous. He is a great player. When you see
:42:06. > :42:11.the highlights of this game he looks like he is playing really well. You
:42:12. > :42:14.have got Rangi Chase and Kevin Locke in the same team. A fortnight ago
:42:15. > :42:20.Salford were hammered by Wigan and you were impressed by the Salford
:42:21. > :42:24.team you came up against. We played them a week before and they played
:42:25. > :42:32.really well and we were unfortunate to be on the end of a loss. A little
:42:33. > :42:36.bit of what they have lacked this year is consistency. That is
:42:37. > :42:41.something they have to address. Getting a new team together it will
:42:42. > :42:46.always take a bit of time to gel and they will be much better next year.
:42:47. > :42:52.Two tries from Catalan to finish this. Either Dragons looking over
:42:53. > :42:57.their shoulder a little bit? They have got a couple of home games left
:42:58. > :43:08.and their starting team on paper is great. But they are not travelling
:43:09. > :43:12.to well. That they can come with that cup mentality. They have got
:43:13. > :43:23.real quality players and people like Leon Pryce and they will want to
:43:24. > :43:27.finish on a high. That is the latest round of Super League matches.
:43:28. > :43:55.Before we head to Wembley, let's have a look at the latest standings.
:43:56. > :44:04.The kick`off is at 3pm on Saturday. That is your lot for this week. If
:44:05. > :44:17.you are going to Wembley, enjoy it. See you next time.
:44:18. > :44:20.You asked for it. You got it. SHRILL WHISTLE
:44:21. > :44:23.I promise not to take off all my clothes.
:44:24. > :44:25.I'm going up in the world, babes, and from today,
:44:26. > :44:33.one can't sack someone for going, "Bleuh-huh-huh-huh".
:44:34. > :44:37.I'm going to teach you a lesson, Churchy.
