:00:34. > :00:37.We are a dozen rounds into the Super League season,
:00:38. > :00:40.and there have been a bucket load of tries this week.
:00:41. > :00:43.We've got six games to show you and if you've been studying the form
:00:44. > :00:46.of the first three months, then you might be
:00:47. > :01:44.Yes, bottom beat top last wdek, and trying to make sense
:01:45. > :01:47.of the latest round of matches, we have Jamie Peacock
:01:48. > :01:55.We start tonight at Langtred Park, where St Helens and leads
:01:56. > :01:57.renewed their epic rivalry, and Dave Woods was watching.
:01:58. > :02:06.St Helens, a crashing effort from Greenwood.
:02:07. > :02:08.These defenders scrambling all around, just a couple
:02:09. > :02:12.Roby's going to have a little dabble himself here.
:02:13. > :02:20.Oh, what a sidestep, and what a story!
:02:21. > :02:26.13 months out, and Jonny Lolax marks his return with a try
:02:27. > :02:38.And he's lost none of his flair, it would seem.
:02:39. > :02:43.That's a wonderful finish to a wonderful try.
:02:44. > :02:57.Amor taking it in and trying to get arms free, but can't
:02:58. > :03:04.Walsh again, he's going to have a go at it, Walsh.
:03:05. > :03:08.And a pass away, and Greenwood finishes.
:03:09. > :03:21.Two tries in the opening seven minutes.
:03:22. > :03:24.He's got Ablett running alongside him here.
:03:25. > :03:28.And the pace from the scrum,half to take them on...
:03:29. > :03:32.Great tackle coming across from McDonnell.
:03:33. > :03:49.And the finish by Golding, but what about the pass?
:03:50. > :03:52.Well, cries of forward from the St Helen's fans.
:03:53. > :03:58.But Sutcliffe simply wound himself up and let it fly.
:03:59. > :04:01.Touch judge is right in lind, and Golding with a score.
:04:02. > :04:08.He has a hand to that and hd is away now, there are plenty
:04:09. > :04:10.back to get him covered, you'd have thought.
:04:11. > :04:12.Oh, he's got support in the inside from Sutcliffd.
:04:13. > :04:17.Great defence from St Helens but Leeds,
:04:18. > :04:25.They are looking towards this left-hand side,
:04:26. > :04:30.Rob Burrow levels it all up again for Leeds.
:04:31. > :04:45.Just one of that devastating threequarters line
:04:46. > :04:46.that supplies for this game tonight.
:04:47. > :04:54.Again, they are looking for numbers on this left-hand side.
:04:55. > :04:57.Oh, that is a good pick up and they take.
:04:58. > :05:00.He is a step and a hop and a jump and a score.
:05:01. > :05:04.Leeds are in the lead From 10-0 down!
:05:05. > :05:20.Amor, soft handed pass from Wilkin, but Amor is gathered up by those
:05:21. > :05:44.It is a second try on the nhght for the returning local hero.
:05:45. > :05:53.Golding underneath it, he has taken it safely enough,
:05:54. > :05:57.and he's got himself back in the field of play.
:05:58. > :06:15.Well, it was a thunderous hit here on Hardaker.
:06:16. > :06:27.It was a big one, referee, but I think it is fair,
:06:28. > :06:33.It's just a mighty collision from Amor come running over
:06:34. > :06:45.I think we've seen the last of Hardaker tonight.
:06:46. > :06:58.And Handley is putting the foot down!
:06:59. > :07:06.What an individual try that is for Handley.
:07:07. > :07:09.What a match this is developing into.
:07:10. > :07:28.Roby dummies to one, puts it back on the inside.
:07:29. > :07:34.Greenwood is in, Saints are back in the lead again.
:07:35. > :07:41.Second try of the night for Greenwood now.
:07:42. > :07:44.Roby, going left, a couple of tackles to go.
:07:45. > :07:47.St Helens looking to keep it alive here again.
:07:48. > :07:50.Tasi, though, has to go down with ball in hand.
:07:51. > :08:05.The little Frenchman, it is over!
:08:06. > :08:08.It is a two score lead that St Helens have now.
:08:09. > :08:13.And the name of Fages echoes around Langtree Park.
:08:14. > :08:15.Well, they've got a decent position here to work from here.
:08:16. > :08:19.He has got a decent position, Garbutt, it is a very good one!
:08:20. > :08:34.Leeds are trailing by ten points, they need tries,
:08:35. > :08:42.And this is Burrow, more or less on the line.
:08:43. > :08:44.Mullally, going to take on three, four, five!
:08:45. > :08:50.Well, Anthony Mullally has somehow found a way over here,
:08:51. > :08:53.and Leeds have found their way back into the game.
:08:54. > :09:03.Burrow, try would put them level here, Leeds,
:09:04. > :09:11.Sutcliffe waits patiently dtmmy half, down the blindside.
:09:12. > :09:17.Squirts it away backwards, the referee says.
:09:18. > :09:24.St Helens with personnel sw`rming all over Leeds at the moment,
:09:25. > :09:29.Oh, my word, Garbutt pushes off Amor, and Garbutt is on his way
:09:30. > :09:33.but Fages comes across the tackle and stops it in his tracks.
:09:34. > :09:50.He is taking it deeper, and he has got that away
:09:51. > :10:04.Fages again, nothing on, but he is making something happen!
:10:05. > :10:11.Fages has made a try out of absolutely nothing!
:10:12. > :10:23.He's having to start from vdry deep and Burrow skittering over,
:10:24. > :10:25.but he's picked himself up, effectively, has a look
:10:26. > :10:47.Now Golding, going nowhere, in the end.
:10:48. > :10:50.St Helens just need to tackle, tackle here.
:10:51. > :10:55.Leeds need something a little electrifying.
:10:56. > :10:57.Here's Sutcliffe with a kick over the top.
:10:58. > :11:04.They have it with six minutds to go, and they are back
:11:05. > :11:12.Well, the clock suggests maybe two or three more
:11:13. > :11:26.Are they going to give us a grandstand finish
:11:27. > :11:37.They might not be producing their best this season,
:11:38. > :11:41.these two sides, though, have given us a classic match tonight.
:11:42. > :11:51.You've played in a fair few of those games, what did
:11:52. > :11:58.I thought it was an exciting game for the fans to watch end to end.
:11:59. > :12:01.I think there was some soft tries in there but also some
:12:02. > :12:03.fantastic tries as well, some exhilarating tries,
:12:04. > :12:11.They are getting their full strength squad back,
:12:12. > :12:15.I think Leeds are still strtggling with injuries, but I do think
:12:16. > :12:18.From watching that game, they've got a style of offensive
:12:19. > :12:21.football that is different to anybody else in the leagte.
:12:22. > :12:23.They can strike from anywhere and they play off-the-cuff,
:12:24. > :12:27.It was wonderful, wasn't it, to see Jonny Lomax
:12:28. > :12:30.Somebody wrote a very good script for that one.
:12:31. > :12:36.You could see by his fellow team-mates, they were back on.
:12:37. > :12:39.It was a long time for him to be out.
:12:40. > :12:41.He struggled with injuries throughout his career.
:12:42. > :12:44.The more he can get out on the field, I think
:12:45. > :12:53.More than any thing else, he looks like he has kept hhs pace.
:12:54. > :12:56.One thing when he's come back from a knee injury, you're worried
:12:57. > :12:59.about whether he will have that same pace and speed off the mark,
:13:00. > :13:05.but he seems to have kept it which is great for Johnny.
:13:06. > :13:07.How much of a lift will this have given St Helens,
:13:08. > :13:09.so quickly into the game, just five minutes
:13:10. > :13:12.Oh, the whole stadium erupted, didn't they?
:13:13. > :13:16.He'd come back, and everybody saw the light for him.
:13:17. > :13:21.It might be a big boost for St Helens, going forward.
:13:22. > :13:24.When do you think they will properly slot him in at full-back
:13:25. > :13:36.I think he showed there he's getting ready to go on.
:13:37. > :13:38.I think, certainly, maybe against Castleford next week,
:13:39. > :13:42.but the week after that he needs to be back in that full-back spot
:13:43. > :13:44.and doing what he does best - returning those balls back
:13:45. > :13:48.Overall, how would you describe the defence in the game?
:13:49. > :13:50.I think this is a hangover from Easter.
:13:51. > :13:54.It's not the Friday, the Monday games that really affects you.
:13:55. > :13:56.It affects you a few weeks down the line.
:13:57. > :13:59.I'll be honest, it's a detriment to our game.
:14:00. > :14:02.I think the standard of rugby goes down slightly the weeks
:14:03. > :14:06.Leeds, Brian McDermott spoke with huge pride
:14:07. > :14:18.It is a tough season, he knows that, but he is seeing progress?
:14:19. > :14:20.I think they've accepted at the Leeds club that they've had
:14:21. > :14:22.a few factors outside of their control which are
:14:23. > :14:26.Now, they are building a lot of young kids at the moment,
:14:27. > :14:29.and how do you find out about young kids in adversity,
:14:30. > :14:33.You find more out about a young player when you're losing.
:14:34. > :14:37.Going forward for that club, it will allow them to be better
:14:38. > :14:39.Well, the talk last week at Hull Kingston Rovers
:14:40. > :14:42.was of dishonest people being smoked out of the club.
:14:43. > :14:44.That followed a Challenge Ctp defeat against championship side Oldham.
:14:45. > :14:53.Rovers were looking for a rdsponse at Castleford on Sunday.
:14:54. > :14:58.It was a great attitude and a change from where we have been at.
:14:59. > :15:02.We need to be a tough side to play against any side that represents
:15:03. > :15:05.myself needs to have those values in that and I thought they had
:15:06. > :15:09.It was frustrating for me because I know what they can do
:15:10. > :15:12.We need to be good because we want to be good rather than good...
:15:13. > :15:14.Because it has been difficult the week before.
:15:15. > :15:17.This wasn't an easy game, in the first half particularly.
:15:18. > :15:19.No, Castleford are a very, very good side.
:15:20. > :15:22.Going to play Castleford aw`y, I never once had one easy g`me
:15:23. > :15:30.So to put in the first half, which they did, it was a very close
:15:31. > :15:33.one, and there was a period at the end of the first half
:15:34. > :15:36.where we just held out on our own try-line,
:15:37. > :15:38.In the second half, they were exceptional.
:15:39. > :15:40.You probably can't say a huge amount about it,
:15:41. > :15:43.exactly what has been said, but can you give us
:15:44. > :15:45.a gist of what has been said during the week?
:15:46. > :15:48.Yes, there needs to be an honest performance from ourselves.
:15:49. > :15:52.And what we dished up against Oldham was absolutely unacceptable.
:15:53. > :15:54.It will not be tolerated, and the players know that, too.
:15:55. > :15:57.Any side that we play, we need to have effort
:15:58. > :15:59.and enthusiasm, they have to be non-negotiable for our team.
:16:00. > :16:02.And you could see we had that in bucketloads.
:16:03. > :16:09.Which is why we were able to play the way we did,
:16:10. > :16:12.and put to the sword a great side like Castleford.
:16:13. > :16:15.And you had Albert Kelly back in there, and looking reallx
:16:16. > :16:16.enthusiastic and beginning to run things.
:16:17. > :16:18.Albert Kelly is a fantastic`lly talented player.
:16:19. > :16:21.But he needs to be in the rhght physical condition to play.
:16:22. > :16:23.He is now in the right physical condition,
:16:24. > :16:28.He was absolutely outstanding that day.
:16:29. > :16:31.That is down to the condition he is in now.
:16:32. > :16:33.So, you've been working hard on him behind the scenes?
:16:34. > :16:36.He has been working hard, I put the credit on Albert.
:16:37. > :16:39.He has been working hard, as have the other players as well.
:16:40. > :16:44.He has had some decisions m`de, and he stuck to it, which is why
:16:45. > :16:46.he is back in the side, and showing everybody
:16:47. > :16:50.The flip side of this performance in the second half was Castleford
:16:51. > :16:52.really difficult for them, and you saw the kind of language
:16:53. > :16:54.that was coming out of Hull KR, embarrassing, unacceptable.
:16:55. > :17:01.I've never been to Castleford and had an easy game.
:17:02. > :17:06.They really do play on that pitch great.
:17:07. > :17:08.They will be really disappohnted, they will want to
:17:09. > :17:12.So, when you've had perform`nces like you've had, and you have
:17:13. > :17:15.had a week like that, what happens this week for xou guys?
:17:16. > :17:28.We need to back it up and bd good because we want to be Gerd,
:17:29. > :17:30.and deliver a nine out of ten performance, not
:17:31. > :17:32.because we are frustrated but because we want to deliver
:17:33. > :17:41.So, Daryl Powell, he will go back to the kind of conversations
:17:42. > :17:46.Yeah, it'll be difficult conversations.
:17:47. > :17:49.Being in this spot is reallx tough at times because it is so black
:17:50. > :17:51.and white, whether you win, whether you lose.
:17:52. > :17:54.And if you have an absolutely awful performance, there are some
:17:55. > :17:59.And it is done publicly as well that's the thing about sport.
:18:00. > :18:02.Publicly, you've been humilhated, and they will want to respond
:18:03. > :18:12.to that, I'm sure of that, Castleford.
:18:13. > :18:18.And Thornley, Minns, they've been good
:18:19. > :18:21.Thornley has been outstanding for us all year.
:18:22. > :18:23.He has been a hell of a buy from Wigan.
:18:24. > :18:25.Now, Minns, he was absolutely brilliant that day.
:18:26. > :18:28.Scored a hat-trick, and it hs up to Thomas Minns how
:18:29. > :18:32.It's about applying himself on the pitch.
:18:33. > :18:35.And is that the kind of message of trying to get across to
:18:36. > :18:39.the players, that this is about you, it is up to you what you want to be?
:18:40. > :18:42.The players have got to own their own performancds.
:18:43. > :18:46.We can create an environment for them that allows them to be
:18:47. > :18:48.successful, but it is about them going out and putting
:18:49. > :18:52.Well, Wakefield were on a rtn of five consecutive victorids
:18:53. > :18:56.The last team to beat them were Hull FC, and that was before Easter.
:18:57. > :18:58.The Black and Whites were the Wildcats' opponents again
:18:59. > :19:00.on Sunday, and watching on was Richard Stead.
:19:01. > :19:08.Opening try, Ashley Gibson, the Wakefield number four.
:19:09. > :19:18.This time Talanoa soars, Talanoa scores!
:19:19. > :19:29.Jowitt can't get it, Pritchard can't, Bowden can
:19:30. > :19:35.Bowden has scored, and it has been given.
:19:36. > :19:53.Oh, that is a poor pass frol Talanoa.
:19:54. > :19:56.Ellis can't grab him, nor can Yeaman.
:19:57. > :20:09.Cut out pass, Tom Johnstone, acres to work with, Johnstone's in.
:20:10. > :20:47.Wakefield could go in level at the interval.
:20:48. > :21:51.Wakefield's winning streak will come to an end.
:21:52. > :21:53.That is sure putting the
:21:54. > :22:02.I said before the game our track record at this club, even when we
:22:03. > :22:04.have got results, we have always scraped them.
:22:05. > :22:07.So in terms of the scale of the result, it is a huge
:22:08. > :22:11.He had about 15 stitches on the inside of his mouth `nd he
:22:12. > :22:21.We will let the match review people do their job this week.
:22:22. > :22:28.Nobody intentionally throws their head at
:22:29. > :22:35.I don't think there was anything in it.
:22:36. > :22:37.Hull about to come bouncing back from their
:22:38. > :22:40.defeat at Leeds - do they sdem a different team to you?
:22:41. > :22:46.A bit more about them in terms of these tight
:22:47. > :22:50.When you are in early position, you confidence.
:22:51. > :22:55.They have taught them how to play tight games.
:22:56. > :23:05.It is looking good for them at the moment.
:23:06. > :23:07.As the momentum builds and
:23:08. > :23:11.they stay in the top four, expectations will build.
:23:12. > :23:13.Do they have the character to deal with
:23:14. > :23:38.Some of the guys are used to winning, some aren't.
:23:39. > :23:41.They deserve to be in the top four at the moment.
:23:42. > :23:43.First defeat for Chris Chester, but proud of the players afterwards.
:23:44. > :23:46.Is it a different kind of ddfeat than they were having earlidr?
:23:47. > :23:48.Potentially they could have won at half-time.
:23:49. > :23:50.He has had an amazing impact on the blaze.
:23:51. > :23:55.They have been on a winning streak, but that doesn't last forevdr.
:23:56. > :24:15.He had a difficult start of the season, but he is fantastic.
:24:16. > :24:18.It is great to see young local lads playing for their local teal.
:24:19. > :24:21.So, Hull back to winning waxs and it was there turn
:24:22. > :24:36.There are a lot of them, aren't there?
:24:37. > :24:38.Favourite Disney movie is the Lion king.
:24:39. > :24:40.Favourite Disney movie is the Lion King.
:24:41. > :24:49.I sing along to it every tile it is on TV with my little cousin.
:24:50. > :25:07.The person I think is best looking at the club is Donald Trump,
:25:08. > :25:42.Probably in an interview I say a lot.
:25:43. > :25:46.The word on use the most, especially when I am at homd
:25:47. > :25:51.because I have three young boys is stop!
:25:52. > :25:55.If I came back as an animal I will be a shock.
:25:56. > :25:57.I would come back as an eagle.
:25:58. > :26:21.A whale because every time I jump in a pool,
:26:22. > :26:47.Warrington Wolves where one of three teams tied at the top
:26:48. > :26:51.They were leading one point difference but were looking to avoid
:26:52. > :26:53.a third consecutive defeat when they made the short
:26:54. > :27:19.Tony Smith very critical of his side last week.
:27:20. > :27:27.Can you see what they have been working on?
:27:28. > :27:37.Tony would have had them working out, but that is a problem.
:27:38. > :27:41.You can't get out on the pitch and change what you do.
:27:42. > :27:44.They expect success with what they spend.
:27:45. > :27:47.It is one of those things that if you win, there
:27:48. > :27:52.There is always stuff to work on but you don't
:27:53. > :27:59.Everyone is tired and you nded to concentrate on being physically
:28:00. > :28:17.Sometimes it is a detriment to his own self because he never
:28:18. > :28:26.A great player nonetheless `n great to have on your side.
:28:27. > :28:32.It was said that Widnes' didn't have gone.
:28:33. > :28:35.At the beginning of the year they finished in the bottom four.
:28:36. > :28:40.They are feeling the backlash from the start of the season when
:28:41. > :29:09.Well, they are in excellent position.
:29:10. > :29:15.It is Ben Flower where he whll test the resolve of that
:29:16. > :29:25.Lucky to keep it alive and has kept it alive.
:29:26. > :29:49.Huddersfield looking to get things moving.
:29:50. > :29:58.Support from Ryan Brierley who will score his first
:29:59. > :30:07.Having been under the cosh, they are back level.
:30:08. > :30:25.Leeming is sharp as anyone in the game.
:30:26. > :30:26.Delivering the pastor the left-hand side.
:30:27. > :30:30.Ryan Brierley knows to follow that.
:30:31. > :30:41.Picked a path all the way through and Ryan Brierley is on it.
:30:42. > :30:56.A team warning for the Huddersfield Giants.
:30:57. > :30:58.So that is the last indiscretion they can give `way
:30:59. > :31:05.Wigan still piling on the pressure here.
:31:06. > :31:14.So Huddersfield are down to 12 men moments after the team warnhng.
:31:15. > :32:01.Wonderfully handled in the build-up.
:32:02. > :32:43.The referee warning the Huddersfield side not to give penalties `way
:32:44. > :32:51.He has got it over and we ghve and take the 1-point lead
:32:52. > :33:01.He has done it a few times this year.
:33:02. > :33:05.A little bit of a juggle of the ball.
:33:06. > :33:17.Charlie is going to be held up and it is going to be
:33:18. > :33:29.Second time Huddersfield reduced to 12 in the game.
:33:30. > :33:32.With eight minutes left that is how they will play it out now.
:33:33. > :33:39.They are getting within drop goal range to bring
:33:40. > :33:48.They will be looking for the Danny Brough.
:33:49. > :34:05.Early in the season Matty Smith kicked to drop
:34:06. > :34:18.A second drop goal to edge Wigan ahead again.
:34:19. > :34:23.They just need to hold onto the ball here.
:34:24. > :34:25.They are doing better than that they are scoring
:34:26. > :34:37.Over he goes to score and now without any doubts,
:34:38. > :34:41.Wigan are going to win this in dramatic style.
:34:42. > :35:00.More grey hairs and another year knocked off my life.
:35:01. > :35:03.I know there was a request that half-time and it was at 7-1
:35:04. > :35:09.I just want to know what ch`nged the bloke's opinion.
:35:10. > :35:15.I will get a fine and they will say every decision was right.
:35:16. > :35:19.John Bateman did talk to the referee.
:35:20. > :35:23.Do you think that influenced how the game
:35:24. > :35:29.I think as a captain you ard allowed to talk to the referee.
:35:30. > :35:31.That is one thing we have in our game.
:35:32. > :35:34.It's very good, the dialogud between players and the refdree
:35:35. > :35:37.As a captain you are allowed to speak to them.
:35:38. > :35:41.It is up to the referee then to make sure he does not change his style
:35:42. > :35:44.of play which is what is being alluded to.
:35:45. > :35:47.Is it something we may need to stop if there is a feeling that
:35:48. > :35:51.I think a referee needs to be stronger than that,
:35:52. > :35:54.a quiet word from a captain changing his whole outlook on how
:35:55. > :36:00.What happened in that game, I am not sure, but referees should
:36:01. > :36:09.The dialogue we have between the captain and the referee
:36:10. > :36:14.and players and the referee is something that is good for the game.
:36:15. > :36:17.The bottom line, do you think any of the penalties were unfair in that
:36:18. > :36:22.second half were the decisions he was making right?
:36:23. > :36:26.Obviously I turn into a bit of a fan when I am watching my own shde.
:36:27. > :36:33.Personally, you make your own luck and you get those decisions
:36:34. > :36:37.if you work hard on the opposition and that is what we have
:36:38. > :36:47.We talk about injuries in other teams, but they keep on winning
:36:48. > :36:51.It is just an ethos to do whatever it takes to win.
:36:52. > :36:58.And have the athletic prowess to stay in the games at the end
:36:59. > :37:01.Certainly since Michael McCoy has coming, you have seen that.
:37:02. > :37:04.That is right to the Academx and runs all the way through thd club.
:37:05. > :37:15.And for Huddersfield, they looked a bit freer
:37:16. > :37:26.Wigan were down on troops, but I thought we should havd won.
:37:27. > :37:29.We were playing better rugbx, but when you find the way
:37:30. > :37:31.of winning tight games, we can't win them and it
:37:32. > :37:35.There is nothing more soul destroying than losing tight games.
:37:36. > :37:38.There is nothing more that gives you more confidence than winning
:37:39. > :37:43.I believe if Huddersfield whn a tight game, they will get
:37:44. > :37:48.The dates have been confirmdd for the four Nations tournalent
:37:49. > :37:53.England will play at Huddersfield, Coventry and the Olympic Park.
:37:54. > :37:58.It is a new venue for international rugby league.
:37:59. > :38:03.I think they have chosen a great venue.
:38:04. > :38:06.I would like to see it done earlier, as would everyone else.
:38:07. > :38:15.It is good to have them in and around the country
:38:16. > :38:26.Is that the big gamble? That is where I got my hip done. Thdre are a
:38:27. > :38:35.lot of people in Coventry who recognise me and talk to me. It
:38:36. > :38:51.seems like a place that is tp to lee-macro on the up. Maybe we can
:38:52. > :38:57.expand the game there. We mhght have the game against Australia `nd
:38:58. > :39:02.Scotland. I am delighted. Are you delighted to see rugby leagte going
:39:03. > :39:09.to new places? Since the Olxmpics, there has been a change of lindset.
:39:10. > :39:18.People will watch the international games in a different spot. Catalan
:39:19. > :39:30.are the form team in the competition. They were lookhng for a
:39:31. > :39:41.seventh consecutive victory. The outcome was in doubt to the end.
:39:42. > :39:47.The hike it was well taken. The lead did not last long. Simple p`ssing
:39:48. > :39:57.from Catalan came to the centre A lovely pass brought in at the
:39:58. > :40:01.corner. The seesaw nature continued. Salford going back in the ldad,
:40:02. > :40:11.getting an easy stroll at the corner. Catalan hit back after a
:40:12. > :40:22.great break. A step around defence meant a 30 metre run. The f`llback
:40:23. > :40:35.levelled it at 10-10. Salford's turn again. Robert Louis getting two
:40:36. > :40:43.defenders to get a pass awax. Catalan showed more crisp p`ssing as
:40:44. > :41:01.they again hit back. Louis @nderson with a pass. There was great
:41:02. > :41:09.strength despite tension. Again Catalan were not letting Salford
:41:10. > :41:13.gets away. The converging g`ve a 2-point lead. Catalan took charge to
:41:14. > :41:25.extend their advantage. Jodhe Broughton scoring his second. Dave
:41:26. > :41:31.Taylor then showed a great step to open the gap. People miler hn for a
:41:32. > :41:39.second try when he could easily have finished it himself. Salford were 14
:41:40. > :41:44.behind after more points cale from a penalty, but they were not ready to
:41:45. > :41:50.give up. The huge overlap w`s taken advantage of. The fightback
:41:51. > :41:55.continued. The ball was sent left. Nile Evans got over for his second
:41:56. > :41:58.and it brought Salford back to within two points. But Catalan made
:41:59. > :42:05.sure of the game and with fhve minutes left on the clock, lore
:42:06. > :42:09.slick passing ended with a long ball to pack pictures. The gap w`s
:42:10. > :42:22.stretched to eight points. Which added a late penalty.
:42:23. > :42:38.Not a vintage performance, but is it the old adage that champions teams
:42:39. > :42:42.do win. They can win games when others on playing well. There was a
:42:43. > :42:53.good battle. They played decent stuff. Salford don't have the
:42:54. > :43:03.greatest of times against C`talans. They are a great side. They have the
:43:04. > :43:09.team. 71 tries we have had this weekend. Is that good? Too lany for
:43:10. > :43:16.the competition. You need to three from each side, that makes ` good
:43:17. > :43:20.game. Tries need to be diffhcult to score and some have been easy.
:43:21. > :43:27.Again, a hangover from Eastdr. You have said it on this progralme, we
:43:28. > :43:30.need to look at Easter? There is a groundswell of opinion from the
:43:31. > :43:36.players. Then this to be a change at Easter. So we are 12 rounds into the
:43:37. > :43:44.season. Let us look how things of doing. The top five teams all one,
:43:45. > :43:53.so no change. They are the paraded by points difference. Huddersfield
:43:54. > :43:59.are two points adrift at thd foot of the table. The top four plax each
:44:00. > :44:08.other later in the week the weekend. The bottom to go head-to-he`d at
:44:09. > :44:17.Huddersfield. That is it for now. My thanks to Jamie and Luke for joining
:44:18. > :44:21.us. We will see you next wedk, but the Nao, goodbye. -- but for now.
