:00:37. > :00:43.It is time for half term report on the Super League season. Evdryone

:00:44. > :00:48.has played everyone else. It is Round 11 and this is what is coming

:00:49. > :00:52.up. It was a wet one at Headingley as Hull were aiming for six of the

:00:53. > :01:02.best against Leeds. The Dragons shoot for the top, Catalan `gainst

:01:03. > :01:04.St Helens. Wakefield's top cat paints a picture of life out wide

:01:05. > :01:14.with the Wildcats. Iestyn Harris and Robbie Hunter Paul

:01:15. > :01:17.will be casting an eye over the four Super League matches played this

:01:18. > :01:20.week, and the Fifth Round We'll start with the team that won

:01:21. > :01:28.both those competitions last season. He has forced Leeds to withhn five

:01:29. > :01:51.yards of the Hull line. Hardaker is in the line

:01:52. > :01:57.with a wonderful pass. Keinhorst sliding over for the first

:01:58. > :02:01.try of the night. You can see what

:02:02. > :02:09.the weather is like, Burrow has been caught

:02:10. > :04:54.high by Liam Watts. They are baying for blood

:04:55. > :04:56.from all corners of Headingley. The coat hanger tackle has

:04:57. > :05:07.done for Rob Burrow. Repercussions might be down

:05:08. > :05:11.the line. Perilously close to being slid

:05:12. > :05:33.out of play but he has Jordan Lilley with blood

:05:34. > :05:51.splattered over his face. And after scoring his

:05:52. > :05:57.first senior try he has Looking for a way through

:05:58. > :06:11.the middle, but none found. Jamie is off on one

:06:12. > :06:19.to celebrate what might be ` They have had a few dramatic

:06:20. > :06:31.fightbacks already this So it is not a night to be

:06:32. > :06:41.throwing in the towel. There is hope for Hull

:06:42. > :06:54.with five minutes to go. The odds stacked against

:06:55. > :07:04.Hull FC and surely this will be a priceless

:07:05. > :07:07.victory for Leeds. He puts it out of play and Leeds

:07:08. > :07:24.will get a massive massive win in the context of their season,

:07:25. > :07:28.on the back of a much improved Hull are busted for the night,

:07:29. > :07:45.but they will be back. STUDIO: You could see how mtch it

:07:46. > :07:51.meant to Leeds? They have bden carrying a monkey on their back for

:07:52. > :07:59.the last six weeks, much of the rhetoric coming out of the Rhinos

:08:00. > :08:03.camp, it has been frictional, they have said they have got to get their

:08:04. > :08:08.confidence up, others have said they will come good, well, they did come

:08:09. > :08:13.good. Looking at the post-m`tch interview with Brian McDermott, he

:08:14. > :08:16.was a bit more laid back. There was relief in his eye, but he knew that

:08:17. > :08:23.they did not perform to thehr ability. We will see much more.

:08:24. > :08:26.Interesting last week, we wdre discussing who is brave enotgh to

:08:27. > :08:33.say that the Leeds Rhinos whll not be in the top eight, well, H wasn't,

:08:34. > :08:36.and that performance, against Hull, who had won five on the bounce, you

:08:37. > :08:41.can see they have the talent in the ranks to come up with those big

:08:42. > :08:47.wins. Terrible conditions, but Leeds had to play back to basics `nd maybe

:08:48. > :08:53.that helps them? I think so, we remember them from our the

:08:54. > :08:58.flamboyant side of Leeds, btt they have no Maguire and Hall and they

:08:59. > :09:02.are under pressure and you have got to do the fundamentals right, you

:09:03. > :09:06.have got to kick long and chase and the energy you have got in the game

:09:07. > :09:10.has got to be spot on. Jamid Jones-Buchanan led from the front in

:09:11. > :09:14.that game, everyone followed him, he has great experience, and the

:09:15. > :09:18.youngsters followed him. Thdse youngsters growing up in thhs Leeds

:09:19. > :09:22.team, in a few years, they will be winning the Challenge Cup fhnal and

:09:23. > :09:25.able be winning the Super Ldague. They are cutting their teeth in a

:09:26. > :09:30.difficult period and the cltb is going to be stronger for it. Jordan

:09:31. > :09:35.Lilley stood out, amongst the kids, he has a real energy about him, when

:09:36. > :09:39.he is going well. A great thing about being a young player hn this

:09:40. > :09:43.competition, you have nothing to lose, you get to play your game and

:09:44. > :09:49.enjoy yourself. You are not tied down by the expectation of what the

:09:50. > :09:54.other senior players are, and he puts in a kick, it goes nowhere but

:09:55. > :09:59.he backs it up and he shows strength to pick it up, and to push his way

:10:00. > :10:03.through some experienced Super League players and get over the line

:10:04. > :10:07.and that meant a lot for hil, he got a job in the nose for his troubles.

:10:08. > :10:14.He spent the next 30 minutes wiping his shirt. Not easy kick, you have

:10:15. > :10:19.got to have nerves to do th`t, at such a young man, with a suppose it

:10:20. > :10:25.broke and nose, to put that over, it shows a great bit of compostre -

:10:26. > :10:30.suppose it broken nose. Frol the perspective of Hull, disappointing,

:10:31. > :10:34.we have seen them close these games out in recent weeks, so thex will be

:10:35. > :10:41.disappointed? I think they well they have been on recent good form,

:10:42. > :10:46.five on the bounce after behng under pressure, and I think they have been

:10:47. > :10:48.playing really well. They h`ve gone to Headingley confident and they

:10:49. > :10:51.will be bitterly disappointdd they have not got the result, but where

:10:52. > :10:56.they are in the league, thex can afford that. The start of the year,

:10:57. > :11:02.going to Leeds, is that a gtaranteed two points? No, so it is how they

:11:03. > :11:08.respond. This is where Hull have struggled, where they have had

:11:09. > :11:10.clusters of results, wins or defeat, and now they have got to get the

:11:11. > :11:13.victory is behind them again. It was top against bottom

:11:14. > :11:15.on Friday when Warrington The Giants were looking for only

:11:16. > :11:19.their second win of the season, COMMENTATOR: Still no points

:11:20. > :11:24.on the board for either sidd. Aaron Murphy in the corner,

:11:25. > :11:47.the Giants go ahead! That has been the story

:11:48. > :11:54.of the game so far for the Looks as though play

:11:55. > :12:04.has been stopped. Danny Brough will sink this penalty

:12:05. > :12:06.home from some distance. That will make sure of it,

:12:07. > :12:44.and bottom has beaten top. Just the win is pleasing,

:12:45. > :12:46.and the manner, with regards to where we are at, a win

:12:47. > :12:49.is important for us, You have been around

:12:50. > :12:52.here and there has never been a head down,

:12:53. > :12:54.anything like that. What we can't do is

:12:55. > :13:00.rest on our laurels. We need another 12 now to ghve

:13:01. > :13:04.ourselves a chance. We want to be in

:13:05. > :13:06.the top eight, not the middle eight. That is what we have to do,

:13:07. > :13:10.from here on in, to start the league afresh and take this

:13:11. > :13:12.confidence forward. Some hard work to be done over

:13:13. > :13:21.the next little while. We have not had that period

:13:22. > :13:26.as well as we would have liked. We will change our training

:13:27. > :13:32.routine, that has been talked about, in the last two weeks,

:13:33. > :13:35.and we will do things a bit different in the next

:13:36. > :13:45.couple of weeks. If it was a relief for Leeds, even

:13:46. > :13:48.more the Huddersfield? Definitely, they needed to climb off thd bottom,

:13:49. > :13:53.to have a realistic shot of getting into the top eight. Danny Brough is

:13:54. > :13:57.your man, he had a great gale against Hull last weekend, `s well,

:13:58. > :14:02.and now another great performance, he's coming into his own. Wd spoke

:14:03. > :14:08.about that, he is the best kicking game in the world of rugby league, I

:14:09. > :14:13.believe. He can turn the opposition around, goalkick, place kick, he can

:14:14. > :14:16.take them on, as well. When the team needs you to be the man he hs

:14:17. > :14:21.stepping up to the plate and it is time for the rest of the te`m to gel

:14:22. > :14:24.together and go with him. There was a look of relief on the facd of Paul

:14:25. > :14:30.Anderson, he does not give luch away, but he looked a relieved man.

:14:31. > :14:35.An understatement. To say the result was the priority, because they had

:14:36. > :14:38.to win that. From the inner belief of the squad, when you are losing

:14:39. > :14:43.games, and to be honest thex have been in games where I don't know how

:14:44. > :14:47.they have lost at times. Thdy were away at Castleford a few wedks ago,

:14:48. > :14:50.in a very dominant position, and they lost it in the last ten

:14:51. > :14:55.minutes, and they would havd been nervous going into this gamd. To

:14:56. > :14:59.lose at home again, it is a long way to the top eight. What about the

:15:00. > :15:05.comments from Tony Smith? Hd was very honest. And some. He is usually

:15:06. > :15:12.very upbeat about his team, and I know he's not very big and

:15:13. > :15:19.completion statistics, but they dropped so much ball, and ghving

:15:20. > :15:22.Danny Brough position and the ability to drop goals and khck

:15:23. > :15:25.penalties, you will always find it difficult, and they never g`ve

:15:26. > :15:30.themselves a chance in that game. The huge surprise. They havd been

:15:31. > :15:34.running in points for fun, that they did not get a single point. They are

:15:35. > :15:39.top of the table when it coles to points for. This might be the last

:15:40. > :15:45.element of the hangover frol the Easter period. We talk about the few

:15:46. > :15:50.games after the Easter period, and in that time, leading up, W`rrington

:15:51. > :15:57.were flying. Also, you are lissing the key man, Sandel, he marshals

:15:58. > :15:58.them around the park and I think he is sorely missed at this pohnt in

:15:59. > :16:01.time. That defeat for the leaders gave

:16:02. > :16:04.Wigan the chance to move level on points with Warrington at the top

:16:05. > :16:07.of the table. They were at home to

:16:08. > :16:09.Castleford on Friday, and it was the visitors

:16:10. > :16:20.who scored first, Iestyn. Yes, we can come up with thd error,

:16:21. > :16:27.Solomona schools this try, `nd that at the speed, it is an unbelievable

:16:28. > :16:32.form -- scores. He had no rhght to score, but it was he's out `nd out

:16:33. > :16:37.speed. Wigan are good, and `lthough we saw the bad side of them last

:16:38. > :16:40.week, the result they had, but they were always going to come up with

:16:41. > :16:47.something in this game and they were always going to make it difficult.

:16:48. > :16:54.Lovely kick for them to score. Luke Gale was not happy after th`t. Yes,

:16:55. > :16:59.sadly something in that, whdther it went forward, adding he was

:17:00. > :17:03.sin-binned on the back of that - certainly something in that. It did

:17:04. > :17:08.not work for Castleford in this game. He takes this right off his

:17:09. > :17:13.toes. The other one was controversial and that could have

:17:14. > :17:18.been, as well. Castleford wdnt two points up in this game, thex were on

:17:19. > :17:27.top. John Bateman had a gre`t game for Wigan, it is becoming a key

:17:28. > :17:31.player. Great it the macro acquisition -- great acquishtion for

:17:32. > :17:36.them, he has got a great centre of gravity, and that is import`nt, when

:17:37. > :17:40.he gets knocked off his strhde, he keeps his legs pumping and he gets

:17:41. > :17:44.over the try line. Another great move and the young half-backs who

:17:45. > :17:51.has proven himself over the last two games. This try the John Bateman.

:17:52. > :17:56.That is a coach killer. You are working on the short side ddfence,

:17:57. > :18:00.defensively, but there is nothing on, the full-back out of position,

:18:01. > :18:06.John Bateman puts the kick through and they score. World-class, top

:18:07. > :18:09.players make that happen. You are right, they take the opporttnities,

:18:10. > :18:11.world-class players can see that and Bateman is making himself a

:18:12. > :18:15.world-class player. So Wigan back to winning waxs,

:18:16. > :18:18.and we can find out a bit more about Shaun Wane's world now,

:18:19. > :18:36.as the Warriors take The invisible. I would like to be

:18:37. > :18:40.able to fly. I would want the superpower where I knew everyone's

:18:41. > :18:46.name without actually knowing them. So you could speak to a girl and get

:18:47. > :18:54.talking that way, I would love to know everyone's name. Definhtely

:18:55. > :19:08.Anthony. Anthony. He is one-of-a-kind. He tricks hilself

:19:09. > :19:13.sometimes. Downside and son. -- Dan sidings. The most annoying person

:19:14. > :19:25.you could ever meet. He stinks. He is a bit smelly. Anthony. Bdcause it

:19:26. > :19:30.happens in our camp at Wales. We went in the lift and he dechded to

:19:31. > :19:42.jump up and down and we got stuck in the lift and I'm not going with him

:19:43. > :19:51.again. The tightest? So manx. Lee Mossop. Lee is pretty tight. Lee

:19:52. > :20:05.Mossop. John Bateman. John Bateman is the tightest. Don't hit le, John.

:20:06. > :20:14.George Williams is the worst dancer. Best answer? Sergeants and has got

:20:15. > :20:19.some moves on him. He can do the body popping thing. He looks quite

:20:20. > :20:27.cool when he does that. I would not say anyone is a good dancer. Shaun

:20:28. > :20:34.Wane. Shaun Wane, throwing ` few shapes on the dance floor? That is a

:20:35. > :20:38.sarcastic response, I think To macro no kidding! -- LAUGHTDR

:20:39. > :20:40.. Catalan started the week just two

:20:41. > :20:43.points off the top of the t`ble They'd won five consecutive matches

:20:44. > :20:45.before arriving at St Helens. Watching to see if they could make

:20:46. > :20:57.it six in a row, was Dave Woods COMMENTATOR: This is Stuart. Trying

:20:58. > :21:05.to find a way through. Richhe Myler, organising the rest of the line

:21:06. > :21:08.Todd Carney with a pass. Jodie Broughton, and likely as it seemed

:21:09. > :21:13.when he picked it up, he has found a way to score. Picking up from last

:21:14. > :21:32.week, Jodie Broughton. The surge forward by Dave T`ylor.

:21:33. > :21:40.The young man die Costa is hn again. Quick hands. Terrific hands. When it

:21:41. > :21:49.comes to Jodie Broughton, it is a simple finish, his second try of the

:21:50. > :21:57.night with only 13 minutes played. They want to get things movhng

:21:58. > :22:06.again. This is as good a position as they have had all night so far, St

:22:07. > :22:13.Helens. It is a chance, maybe, they have finished! The Frenchman has

:22:14. > :22:24.scored, but not for the French side. Bright handling from St Heldns.

:22:25. > :22:35.Catalan, looking to probe. Terrific form this year. He puts the little

:22:36. > :22:41.step on again. Less than five to go. Into the hands of Todd Carndy. That

:22:42. > :22:46.was a big pass, and a hat-trick a first half hat-trick for Jodie

:22:47. > :22:54.Broughton. I think the wingdr might have been pulled out of poshtion for

:22:55. > :23:01.St Helens. Roby. That was a good effort. Terrific effort. He is still

:23:02. > :23:12.going. The big man, burning up the yards down the middle. Roby collect.

:23:13. > :23:20.He will be held up. Matt Dawson put down. McCarthy-Scarsbrook at dummy

:23:21. > :23:30.half. The little chip and chase It will be another try for Walsh and

:23:31. > :23:42.Saints are back in it beford the break, they are hanging on.

:23:43. > :23:52.Taken inside the St Helens half couple of tackles to go. Sttart

:23:53. > :23:57.rolling away from three would-be defenders. Richie Myler is ` very

:23:58. > :24:03.grateful recipient of all the hard work down the middle, to get another

:24:04. > :24:11.try. It has not gone down wdll in St Helens.

:24:12. > :24:23.They have looked very impressive tonight, Catalan, in defencd

:24:24. > :24:27.especially. Apart from the try, St Helens have barely glimpsed a way

:24:28. > :24:32.through. This is Richards, `nd this is another Catalan try down the

:24:33. > :24:40.left-hand side. Two tries already in the second half with barely eight

:24:41. > :24:50.minutes played. Stuart epitomises so much of what Catalan do well. Untidy

:24:51. > :24:54.pass. Picked up by Richards. The little step, testing the resolve of

:24:55. > :25:00.the difference. They have created a bit of space, and when that happens,

:25:01. > :25:09.Jodie Broughton normally finishes, the fourth of the night. 100 tries

:25:10. > :25:16.in his career now, Jodie Broughton. Rolling towards victory. It will

:25:17. > :25:22.take them joint top with Warrington. For the rest of the weekend's

:25:23. > :25:27.fixtures, you have to consider them as very real candidates for

:25:28. > :25:33.silverware this season, Cat`lan Penalty here, they will go for goal.

:25:34. > :25:37.They don't have a large number of supporters and their foreign trips,

:25:38. > :25:39.but those that come come with enthusiasm and they are enjoying

:25:40. > :25:44.what they are seeing on thehr travels this year. Memories of

:25:45. > :25:49.travel sickness from larcenhes and long forgotten. Richards has put the

:25:50. > :25:55.seal on a very impressive C`talan wind -- from last season long

:25:56. > :26:00.forgotten. We have worked so hard on this over the last month, and to

:26:01. > :26:03.turn the corner, I thought we had been going in the right dirdction,

:26:04. > :26:07.and that is the frustrating thing as a coach, it really frustratds you

:26:08. > :26:11.and you feel you are heading in the right direction, you put a few

:26:12. > :26:17.performances together, and then you chuck that up. I will never be

:26:18. > :26:23.worried about the quality of my side to score tries, they are very good

:26:24. > :26:31.buys. We need to keep on buhlding with our defence, that is the key.

:26:32. > :26:37.That is a common theme, the defence, is this a new kind of Catal`n side?

:26:38. > :26:42.You have got to say it is, their track record home and away has been

:26:43. > :26:45.brilliant this year. You have got to remark, they have got a classy team,

:26:46. > :26:54.they have bought some classx players. The overseas players, for

:26:55. > :27:00.example, six former New Zealand and Australian internationals. The other

:27:01. > :27:05.one is Todd Carney. The othdr is a Papa New Guinea internation`l. The

:27:06. > :27:08.strength of depth of talent has brought a new culture to thd club

:27:09. > :27:12.and they are able to deliver that quality in away games which we had

:27:13. > :27:23.never seen from them in the recent past. But I think they are

:27:24. > :27:29.definitely a team, they are there to be beat. There is a real focus, not

:27:30. > :27:33.just on the offence, but thd defence, they are muscling teams,

:27:34. > :27:38.teams are getting strangled by them at the moment, the defence `nd the

:27:39. > :27:40.kick chase, everything, supdrb. Saints could not deal with the

:27:41. > :27:46.defence, they could not bre`k it down. No, they couldn't. I was

:27:47. > :27:51.listening to Kieron Cunningham, bitterly disappointed, but they were

:27:52. > :27:55.disjointed, they played as ` group of individuals, they did not really

:27:56. > :28:02.have any fluency as a team. Structurally they did not h`ve much

:28:03. > :28:05.movement in the side. When Catalans happy ball, there were 13 pdople in

:28:06. > :28:10.motion and you did not know where it was going to go -- at the b`ll. When

:28:11. > :28:15.Saints had it, you knew where it was going to go. There was a little bit

:28:16. > :28:21.of movement, but nothing on the other side, and Catalan showed the

:28:22. > :28:25.energy that Robbie is talking about. That epitomises Catalan, th`t try

:28:26. > :28:30.saving tackle, they worked so hard for each other and I have not seen

:28:31. > :28:33.that from Catalan for long time Robbie talks about the stars at

:28:34. > :28:38.Catalan, but I have not seen that work ethic at Catalan beford, and if

:28:39. > :28:42.they had got the stars with that ability and mentality they will be a

:28:43. > :28:46.force to be reckoned with this year. Todd Carney was at the heart of

:28:47. > :28:51.everything they did, and Jodie Broughton with four tries and he

:28:52. > :28:56.looks a really settled playdr after a frustrating couple of years. He

:28:57. > :29:04.did not settle at Huddersfidld, it was a strong player for Salford He

:29:05. > :29:11.is a finisher. Superb. He c`n also get you started. He is a strong

:29:12. > :29:17.player. When you need someone to get over the try line and it is

:29:18. > :29:21.one-on-one, and a couple of occasions in this game, he can do

:29:22. > :29:25.it, he has speed and a great centre of gravity, it can keep his next

:29:26. > :29:31.powering to get over the line. They are the team to beat at the moment.

:29:32. > :29:33.-- he can keep his next powdring. They have internationals whhch have

:29:34. > :29:39.brought a different ethos to the club on and off the field. St Helens

:29:40. > :29:44.against Leeds becomes a fascinating game. It does. Leeds will bd

:29:45. > :29:47.thinking they can win this, they have got to be confident, btt

:29:48. > :29:50.listening to Kieron Cunningham, I think Saints will have a totgh week

:29:51. > :29:57.of training and they will h`ve things to work on. They havd gotten

:29:58. > :30:02.at the mentality. Sometimes you can look at players -- they havd got to

:30:03. > :30:04.look at the mentality. Therd will be some reason why they were down on

:30:05. > :30:07.energy and that is something they have got to address and get right

:30:08. > :30:11.for this week because they have got to have energy coming in thhs week.

:30:12. > :30:13.So just the four matches in the top division this wedk,

:30:14. > :30:27.here's how all those results have left things in the First

:30:28. > :31:36.the guys... What do they have to lose? They can catch Hull on the

:31:37. > :33:21.hop. Obviously, they came ott after the

:33:22. > :33:26.if that statement is true, they have got some serious questions, that

:33:27. > :33:30.they have got to solve quickly. It has long we'll be season to go. They

:33:31. > :33:34.have got to mixture that thdy are going to be in the fight, they have

:33:35. > :33:46.got a good following and thdy deserve to be top 8. Strong, strong

:33:47. > :33:58.words. And Jamie Peacock echoing that. He has been around a game for

:33:59. > :34:05.a long time. But this is a good opportunity for him to show the

:34:06. > :34:10.leadership qualities, and what with the performance department, to make

:34:11. > :34:26.sure that they can get the job done. It is going to be interesting.

:34:27. > :34:46.Read few's Tom Johnson, has told us about life off the field.

:34:47. > :34:51.Really nice place to come and have a look around.

:34:52. > :34:54.When I'm not training, usually I walk the dog,

:34:55. > :34:59.A lot of Geordie Shore, Gamd of Thrones, Britain's Got T`lent -

:35:00. > :35:06.But I would tell people to come down here, it's fascinating,

:35:07. > :35:09.something to do, especially when it's a rainy day like this

:35:10. > :35:35.It is awesome, at the moment. A lot of belief. Confidence, and when

:35:36. > :35:42.Chris came in, we forgot about what had happened, we just need to

:35:43. > :35:47.believe in ourselves. It is just crawling, the confidence, and we

:35:48. > :36:02.have tried things that we are not usually tried. Wildcats, crtising,

:36:03. > :36:09.4th straight win! Smith... Ht just seems mad. Juggling! He told us it

:36:10. > :36:18.would help us with the hind to eye coordination. I managed to get up to

:36:19. > :36:25.4 balls! 6:30 starts killed the boys. 6:30 starts killed thd boys.

:36:26. > :36:34.We would be coming and, feeling like zombies. But he does a lot of work

:36:35. > :36:43.with me, taking me to the shde, drills. Giving me Billy. Chris

:36:44. > :36:46.Chester is the same, giving me confidence. It is massive, to have a

:36:47. > :36:57.good relationship with the court. You can talk to them about `nything.

:36:58. > :37:06.Make you feel confident. Thd personal highlights, probably

:37:07. > :37:11.Huddersfield, scoring that try. 1st hat trick against Salford. That was

:37:12. > :37:20.a big thing for me and my f`mily. Mum loved it! Talk about us, winning

:37:21. > :37:30.against Wigan, but none of ts expected for it to happen l`ter

:37:31. > :37:33.date. Amazing feeling. I am really enjoying things at the moment, I

:37:34. > :37:36.have never been happier than I am at the moment, and I think it hs

:37:37. > :37:46.showing, the team, just hophng to keep this run going. And we just

:37:47. > :37:54.want to try to keep those performances going, and try to be

:37:55. > :38:04.the best player I can be, to achieve the goals. He seems an incrddibly

:38:05. > :38:20.grounded young man, scored `gainst Sheffield. Wakefield on a roll. They

:38:21. > :38:24.seem to be playing together, as a unit, because Sheffield are

:38:25. > :38:32.filtering, championship teal, putting together some amazing

:38:33. > :38:36.performances. They have got a number of internationals, for Sheffield, it

:38:37. > :38:43.could have been a tricky 1. But when you see tries like that, th`t is

:38:44. > :38:48.when you're having fun. Smiley won the fees. That is 1 of the hmportant

:38:49. > :38:54.things, for Wakefield, they seem to be enjoying themselves. And I think

:38:55. > :39:03.Sheffield will be disappointed, not getting closer, 2-week feud. That

:39:04. > :39:07.probably shows how far Wakefield have come.

:39:08. > :39:09.There were two more Super Ldague teams in fifth round action,

:39:10. > :39:14.Salford were beaten by Leigh at this stage of the Challenge Cup last

:39:15. > :39:18.season, but there were few problems for the Red Devils on Sundax.

:39:19. > :39:21.This Josh Griffin try was their third in the opening ten minutes.

:39:22. > :39:24.It was the first of a hat-trick for Griffin as Salford ran hn nine

:39:25. > :39:27.tries against their League One opposition, a gap of 25

:39:28. > :39:34.places simply too much for the Hawks to bridge.

:39:35. > :39:37.Salford were 24 up at the break but the second

:39:38. > :39:39.half was much tighter - James Duckworth scored the third

:39:40. > :39:42.before Griffin completed his treble in the last minute of the m`tch

:39:43. > :39:49.36 point difference and Salford safely into the hat.

:39:50. > :39:51.Some nervous moments for Widnes at the start of their

:39:52. > :40:05.Rochdale Hornets hit the front after 20 minutes when Cook's

:40:06. > :40:07.try and conversion put the home side ahead.

:40:08. > :40:10.Bridge and Brown went over for hat-tricks,

:40:11. > :40:16.It was a no-win situation against League One opponents,

:40:17. > :40:20.but a difference of 12 tries to one kept them on the road to Welbley.

:40:21. > :40:23.The Vikings were semi-finalists two years ago.

:40:24. > :40:35.They're back in action on Friday, after a first win in a month.

:40:36. > :40:42.It was an even first half between these two.

:40:43. > :40:48.Despite the Bulldogs' early advantage, Rovers led at half-time.

:40:49. > :40:50.The Samoan international sn`tched the ball and showed stunning pace,

:40:51. > :41:00.A Johnson penalty made it 6,4 before the half-time oranges.

:41:01. > :41:03.The start of the second was a slow affair, but four tries down

:41:04. > :41:08.the infamous slope at Mount Pleasant left the visitors with an ilpossible

:41:24. > :41:25.The Bulldogs with the bit between their teeth,

:41:26. > :41:27.and the neat move to the left brought further rewards.

:41:28. > :41:29.The onslaught continued, before the tie was out

:41:30. > :41:36.A consolation for the visitors but Batley are through.

:41:37. > :41:39.There's confirmation of all the results from round 5

:41:40. > :41:54.Toulouse beating Leigh stands out there Iestyn...

:41:55. > :42:05.It was a brilliant result. That is up big scalp. . But it just shows,

:42:06. > :42:14.that anything is possible, hn this competition. That is why we have
