0:00:36 > 0:00:37Hello.

0:00:37 > 0:00:40It's round 13 of the 2016 season, but the fixture list got

0:00:40 > 0:00:43lucky as the top four in Super League go head-to-head.

0:00:43 > 0:00:44He's a man on fire at the moment.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55An absolute screamer!

0:00:55 > 0:00:57He's a man on fire at the moment.

0:00:57 > 0:01:03An absolute screamer!

0:01:03 > 0:01:04The trademark finish.

0:01:04 > 0:01:07It's a good one.

0:01:07 > 0:01:11They are scoring a try to win the game.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14Quick hands.

0:01:14 > 0:01:17He scampers through, Myler has added gloss to it.

0:01:17 > 0:01:22Catalans are wowing today.

0:01:24 > 0:01:29Off-loads to Michaels, and Hull have snatched victory.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33We have all ends of the table covered.

0:01:33 > 0:01:36Warrington's Ashton Sims and Jamie Jones-Buchanan of Leeds

0:01:36 > 0:01:43are here to go through it from top to bottom.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46Just points' difference separated the leaders Warrington from Wigan

0:01:46 > 0:01:49at the start of the round, so first place was up for grabs

0:01:49 > 0:01:51when they kicked off against each other on Thursday.

0:01:51 > 0:01:52Dave Woods was watching.

0:01:53 > 0:01:55COMMENTATOR: Plays quickly.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57Gets it.

0:01:57 > 0:02:01It is a big hit on Tom Lynam, and Lynam is going

0:02:01 > 0:02:05to stay down here.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07That was huge.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09It's perfectly legal, but I think there's a head

0:02:09 > 0:02:14on the shoulder as well, which doesn't help Tom Lynam.

0:02:14 > 0:02:18And he might have played his last already tonight.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21The two Tompkins brothers at Wigan desperate to get back onto the

0:02:21 > 0:02:25field soon.

0:02:25 > 0:02:26Powell.

0:02:26 > 0:02:30Wigan pressing hard, Smith coming right, Sarginson trying

0:02:30 > 0:02:35again, and Charlie, sliding in at the corner.

0:02:35 > 0:02:39It is Wigan who get first blood with 17 minutes played.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46That will encourage those in cherry and white.

0:02:46 > 0:02:47Here is Clark.

0:02:47 > 0:02:50Ratchford.

0:02:50 > 0:02:55Looking for the ball of Atkins, little flick back for Penny.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58Off he goes, Kevin Penny, asking him a few questions.

0:02:58 > 0:03:04Caught by Clark who dummies and surges and dives for the line.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07Darrell Clarke in sparkling form.

0:03:07 > 0:03:11Warrington have their moment.

0:03:29 > 0:03:30Gidley.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32An untidy looking field at the moment as Penny

0:03:32 > 0:03:33comes rolling in.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36The referee has given a penalty for the high tackle.

0:03:36 > 0:03:37Unnecessarily given away.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39Ashton Sims is off the field because Benny Westwood is on,

0:03:39 > 0:03:41and he finds his side in very good position.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44Hughes against his former team-mates.

0:03:44 > 0:03:4720 metres away.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50Warrington just winding themselves up, here is a first touch

0:03:50 > 0:03:53for Benny Westwood with a dummy and a drive.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56Still going, Benny Westwood, I think it might be

0:03:56 > 0:03:58one of those Benny Westwood moments.

0:03:58 > 0:03:59It is!

0:03:59 > 0:04:03He has made something out of absolutely nothing for his sheer

0:04:03 > 0:04:06grit and determination.

0:04:06 > 0:04:10What a start to a game for the veteran forward.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15Russell pushing Clarke out of the way because he fancied

0:04:15 > 0:04:16a little run himself here.

0:04:16 > 0:04:23He saw the gap into which he suddenly darted.

0:04:23 > 0:04:24That is great play from Matty Russell.

0:04:24 > 0:04:31Ratchford, tackle six is the next, so kick, high in the air,

0:04:31 > 0:04:35Ratchford, tackle six is the next, so a settled kick, high in the air,

0:04:35 > 0:04:39Charlie can't get there, Penny counts.

0:04:39 > 0:04:40Charlie can't get there, Penny can.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43Kevin Penny with the break that might just break Wigan's hearts.

0:04:43 > 0:04:47It is a tough one to take.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49Gidley.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51Hughes.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53All Warrington at the moment.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56Looking to build on their advantage.

0:04:56 > 0:05:04Gidley, throws to Ratchford, Ratchford with the step,

0:05:04 > 0:05:07then a pull back on the inside for Atkins to score!

0:05:07 > 0:05:10It looked as though they had options left, turns out they had

0:05:10 > 0:05:11options down the middle.

0:05:11 > 0:05:12Just as effective.

0:05:12 > 0:05:16Sean O'Loughlin and Liam Farrell were certainly being missed

0:05:16 > 0:05:18Sean O'Loughlin and Liam Farrell are certainly being missed

0:05:18 > 0:05:21by their team-mates tonight.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24Lots of Wigan talent in the stands rather than on the field.

0:05:24 > 0:05:25Here is a talent, Gidley.

0:05:25 > 0:05:29Signing a new one-year extension to his contract this last week.

0:05:29 > 0:05:34Warrington have got the numbers again here, and it is Atkins.

0:05:34 > 0:05:38Second try of the night for him, second try in two minutes for him,

0:05:38 > 0:05:42and Warrington in complete control now.

0:05:46 > 0:05:48Hughes.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51Wigan's defence struggling to hang on for a moment there.

0:05:53 > 0:06:02King eventually put down, Ratchford goes right to Gidley,

0:06:06 > 0:06:08here is Julien, and the Frenchman is over next.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11Warrington through the 30 point mark now.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14Such a character in that Wigan side, trying to make something

0:06:14 > 0:06:17happen himself here.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20Powell up at dummy half, throws it back to Bateman who puts

0:06:20 > 0:06:26a little kick in, John Bateman brings the chase himself.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28Well, in amongst the melee, has he scored?

0:06:28 > 0:06:29Yes, he has.

0:06:29 > 0:06:37John Bateman with a try.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40Captain's knock on a night when it is not going his way.

0:06:40 > 0:06:41Ratchford.

0:06:41 > 0:06:42Into the final minute here.

0:06:42 > 0:06:44Warrington finishing on top as they have been

0:06:44 > 0:06:46for most of the game.

0:06:46 > 0:06:46Benny Westwood's done it again!

0:06:46 > 0:06:50Second try of the night for Benny Westwood.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53Making the seemingly impossible possible.

0:06:53 > 0:06:54What a night for Warrington.

0:06:54 > 0:06:58They are two points clear at the top now.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09STUDIO: Ashton, a really dominant win, and really physical

0:07:09 > 0:07:16performance from you guys.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18DId you talk a lot about that in the build-up?

0:07:18 > 0:07:19Yes, it was.

0:07:19 > 0:07:21It was something we wanted to address all week.

0:07:21 > 0:07:25It was a great win but Wigan had a lot of players out as well.

0:07:25 > 0:07:26We had a few injuries ourselves.

0:07:26 > 0:07:30It was nice to win like that, but in the back of our mind we knew

0:07:30 > 0:07:32they didn't have their strongest side out there.

0:07:32 > 0:07:33It was good...

0:07:33 > 0:07:35We were good without being very clinical.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38The last couple of weeks you've looked back to the team we saw

0:07:38 > 0:07:41at the beginning of the season, Tony Smith talked after the defeat

0:07:41 > 0:07:42to Huddersfield about needing a different attitude

0:07:42 > 0:07:43and changes in training.

0:07:43 > 0:07:45What kinds of things has he done?

0:07:45 > 0:07:48Yes, we went down to Huddersfield and they really gave it to us that

0:07:48 > 0:07:52night, full credit to them, and Danny Brough kicked us to death,

0:07:52 > 0:07:53he was sensational that night.

0:07:53 > 0:07:54Tony...

0:07:54 > 0:07:57He blew his top in after the game!

0:07:57 > 0:07:59LAUGHTER.

0:07:59 > 0:08:03He had a few choice words for us, and deservedly so.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05We changed a few things up in training.

0:08:05 > 0:08:09Even down to some of our start times and...

0:08:09 > 0:08:13You know, it is paying dividends the last couple of weeks,

0:08:13 > 0:08:17but it is no good doing it for two weeks, we need to keep doing it,

0:08:17 > 0:08:22keep building on it week in week out.

0:08:22 > 0:08:24Kurt Gidley appears to be very much the sergeant major

0:08:24 > 0:08:26on the pitch for you guys.

0:08:26 > 0:08:31He has had to step up another level, even, hasn't he.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33Yes, without Chrissy, Chrissy is a real sparky

0:08:33 > 0:08:35player, he has some magic.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38Kurt is just an ultimate professional, he knows what to do,

0:08:38 > 0:08:41knows his game, knows how we should be playing, knows how

0:08:41 > 0:08:44to grind teams...

0:08:44 > 0:08:47Grind teams how to win, and he's been instrumental for us

0:08:47 > 0:08:51especially in the last few weeks without Chrissy there.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54And his game management has really come to the fore for you.

0:08:54 > 0:09:02Yes, his kicking game is unbelievable, it's

0:09:02 > 0:09:05he works really hard on in training, it's not a fluke, he goes out

0:09:05 > 0:09:07there and puts it on the toe.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10He is really working on that stuff in training and getting us

0:09:10 > 0:09:12to help with all that, so I think he's a really important

0:09:12 > 0:09:13cog in our team.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15And what are you making of Warrington, Jamie?

0:09:15 > 0:09:18I think they showed a lot of humility, I think

0:09:18 > 0:09:20they are fantastic, they were brilliant that night,

0:09:20 > 0:09:24and there's a few players that stand out for me,

0:09:24 > 0:09:27the first would be Matty Russell, the way he returns the ball,

0:09:27 > 0:09:29I think he's got some of the highest tackles.

0:09:29 > 0:09:32Whenever you are a forward and you are chasing down trying

0:09:32 > 0:09:34to convert from a tackle in defence, stopping the likes

0:09:34 > 0:09:37of Jermaine McGilvray and Matty Russell is a big task.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39When you jog it back and see them return it

0:09:39 > 0:09:40halfway, its massive.

0:09:40 > 0:09:41Yes.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43Kurt Gidley, he puts the ball on the money

0:09:43 > 0:09:45at the end of every play.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47I think they've probably not have that gap filled since Lee Briers.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50He is managing the game really well, his kicking game is solid,

0:09:50 > 0:09:52and as he said, from pelple like Danny Brough...

0:09:52 > 0:09:55Luke Gale, you need a player that's in there that will put

0:09:55 > 0:09:57the ball on the money.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59And lads like this big guy here, Chris Hill, Ben Westwood...

0:09:59 > 0:10:09He scored two tries...

0:10:22 > 0:10:27He doesn't know he's tackled!

0:10:27 > 0:10:28It's unreal.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30He shouldn't have scored, he just can't feel people.

0:10:30 > 0:10:33So the full pack for me at the minute, Warrington.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36A word on Wigan, Ashton, we saw some of the talent sitting

0:10:36 > 0:10:37in the stands.

0:10:37 > 0:10:38They are missing a few players.

0:10:38 > 0:10:41Is it credit to them that they are at the top

0:10:41 > 0:10:42despite the injuries they have had?

0:10:42 > 0:10:44Yes, I think they've done really well, I think

0:10:44 > 0:10:46Wigan have a philosophy, and Shaun Wane spoke

0:10:47 > 0:10:48after the game about mental

0:10:48 > 0:10:49toughness and toughness during this period.

0:10:49 > 0:10:51You know, it doesn't matter what team put out,

0:10:51 > 0:10:54they are always a real, physical, tough side, and I think

0:10:54 > 0:10:55that highlights why Warrington...

0:10:55 > 0:10:58That looks better, the fact that they still put up with that,

0:10:58 > 0:10:59putting a few shots online.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01Wigan are still good when they are missing

0:11:01 > 0:11:02those big-name players, but Warrington overcame that

0:11:02 > 0:11:05and performed really well, were not shook at all

0:11:05 > 0:11:06by Wigan's physicality.

0:11:06 > 0:11:09But I'm sure Wigan will bounce right back from that, no problem.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11Well, the top four face of continued on Friday when Hull FC

0:11:11 > 0:11:13were at home to Catalans.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15This was fourth against second with the dragon is looking to make

0:11:16 > 0:11:17it eight wins in a row.

0:11:17 > 0:11:18Richard Stead was watching.

0:11:18 > 0:11:19COMMENTATOR: Fonua inapt dummy half.

0:11:19 > 0:11:21COMMENTATOR: Fonua in at dummy half.

0:11:21 > 0:11:22To his left is Price.

0:11:22 > 0:11:23To his left is Pryce.

0:11:23 > 0:11:24Pryce along the line to what's.

0:11:24 > 0:11:26Watts sees Sneyd.

0:11:26 > 0:11:33Sneyd to Prichard, this is good from Hull FC.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35Talanoa, scored four last week, gets the first this week.

0:11:35 > 0:11:42Sneyd goes to the left of the ruck, scoots along, off-loads there,

0:11:42 > 0:11:45bit of a wobbly one, finds Washbrook, here is Prichard.

0:11:45 > 0:11:47Now what's, oh, good break by Watts, Prichard in support,

0:11:47 > 0:11:48this is good from Hull.

0:11:48 > 0:11:50Norton is on the outside, great score from the black

0:11:51 > 0:11:52and whites, Curtis Norton.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55Here come the Catalans, this is Myler, Myler to Anderson,

0:11:55 > 0:11:56brute force is over, Louis Anderson.

0:11:56 > 0:11:58Houghton, short pass, Manu, has he grounded

0:11:58 > 0:11:59it?

0:11:59 > 0:12:00He has!

0:12:00 > 0:12:05Watts.

0:12:05 > 0:12:07Still Watts, he's not going to go down easily,

0:12:07 > 0:12:10Liam Watts, in fact, the referee has pulled the Catalans.

0:12:10 > 0:12:11Mark Sneyd adds the extras.

0:12:11 > 0:12:12Baitieri to Myler.

0:12:12 > 0:12:13Here is Anderson.

0:12:13 > 0:12:14Gigot.

0:12:14 > 0:12:15Richards is in.

0:12:15 > 0:12:16Catalans worked down the left.

0:12:16 > 0:12:20Pelissier to Myler, cuts out past, Richards is in again.

0:12:20 > 0:12:24Here is Manu.

0:12:24 > 0:12:25Can he get an off-load away?

0:12:25 > 0:12:28No, the Catalans won't let him.

0:12:28 > 0:12:37And this could be a sin-binning, yes, Casty is in the bin.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39Team warning still in effect, and the referee

0:12:39 > 0:12:40shows the yellow card.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42Can Hull make the man advantage pay?

0:12:42 > 0:12:45Here is Taylor, just on, and he has scored just by the left

0:12:45 > 0:12:47of the uprights!

0:12:47 > 0:12:50Still down to 12, here come the Dragons, it's Baitieri,

0:12:50 > 0:12:55brute force, he's over again.

0:12:57 > 0:13:02Liam Watts can't free an arm, and they get a bit

0:13:02 > 0:13:08of pushing and shoving, oh, it's another team warning.

0:13:08 > 0:13:10Sneyd, two points, straight through.

0:13:10 > 0:13:15The Dragons are pressing.

0:13:15 > 0:13:18Here is Myler.

0:13:18 > 0:13:21Pops it up there for Mounis.

0:13:21 > 0:13:24Mounis off-loads, Pelissier, oh, very good there from the number 16,

0:13:24 > 0:13:29is it going to be too little too late for the Catalans?

0:13:30 > 0:13:33STUDIO: Hull never behind in that game, they really gutsed

0:13:33 > 0:13:35it out, didn't they?

0:13:35 > 0:13:37Yes, when I think about Catalan, you see the size and physicality

0:13:37 > 0:13:44and you know when you play those two teams you will end up with bruises.

0:13:44 > 0:13:48A mismatched there...

0:13:48 > 0:13:49Not mismatch, I don't know!

0:13:49 > 0:13:52LAUGHTER.

0:13:52 > 0:13:53Collision!

0:13:53 > 0:13:55They have all been good, haven't play, it's like they're

0:13:55 > 0:13:59finding a bit more form.

0:13:59 > 0:14:01Lee Radford cementing his future, which is great.

0:14:01 > 0:14:04Cementing the relationships we know they've got down there at Hull FC,

0:14:04 > 0:14:06and like I said before, they are a sleeping giant

0:14:06 > 0:14:10and if they keep building these performances they will be

0:14:10 > 0:14:11a force to reckoned with.

0:14:11 > 0:14:14Catalan will go for eight in a row which has been

0:14:14 > 0:14:15quite a run for them.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18They went be happy to lose, will they?

0:14:18 > 0:14:20They won't be happy to lose, will they?

0:14:20 > 0:14:22No, they wouldn't be, they were right there

0:14:22 > 0:14:23and thereabouts, weren't they?

0:14:23 > 0:14:27Like Jamie said, big set of forwards to go off behind, and I think may be

0:14:27 > 0:14:30losing Carney during the week might have hurt them a little bit,

0:14:30 > 0:14:33but Rich Myler laid on a couple of tries there, so I think

0:14:33 > 0:14:35they will be two teams that are varied and thereabouts come

0:14:35 > 0:14:38they will be two teams that are there and thereabouts come

0:14:38 > 0:14:39the end of the year.

0:14:39 > 0:14:41A little bit of controversy about Pat Richards's conversion.

0:14:41 > 0:14:43Laurent Frayssinous not happy about this.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45It's difficult to tell from TV pictures whether it has

0:14:45 > 0:14:46or hasn't gone over.

0:14:46 > 0:14:48There seemed to be disagreement, didn't there?

0:14:48 > 0:14:51Yes, well, Pat Richards knows about getting the ball into space.

0:14:51 > 0:14:52LAUGHTER.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54One touch judge with the flag up and want with it not,

0:14:54 > 0:15:00then they all seem to decide.

0:15:00 > 0:15:03Could have kicked it from France and it would still have gone over.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06But if the ball goes over the right, it is a goal.

0:15:06 > 0:15:07You cannot see from that camera angle.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09The referee is probably in the best position,

0:15:09 > 0:15:11but it is what it is.

0:15:11 > 0:15:12Pat Richards, that was 1 high kick.

0:15:12 > 0:15:13It was.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15We were talking about it off air before.

0:15:15 > 0:15:17I thought the referee would have the best view.

0:15:17 > 0:15:21He would have the final say if there was a bit of conjecture,

0:15:21 > 0:15:22is it over, is it not?

0:15:22 > 0:15:23They decided to agree in the end.

0:15:23 > 0:15:26That's right.

0:15:26 > 0:15:29Next up for Hull are St Helens in the Challenge Cup

0:15:29 > 0:15:34and that is a competition you can follow live on the BBC.

0:15:34 > 0:15:36You can hear commentary of Huddersfield against Leeds

0:15:36 > 0:15:39from 7:30pm on five live sports extra on Friday.

0:15:39 > 0:15:46On Saturday, the cameras are at the Jungle for

0:15:46 > 0:15:48Castleford against Salford.

0:15:48 > 0:15:50That is on BBC One from 2pm.

0:15:50 > 0:15:52And there is live coverage from Langtree Park from 4pm

0:15:52 > 0:15:54on Sunday on BBC Two, where you can also see

0:15:54 > 0:15:55the quarterfinal draw.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58Widnes beat Wakefield on the opening day of the Super League season

0:15:58 > 0:16:01and the temperature was more like February than the end of April

0:16:01 > 0:16:03when they met again on Friday.

0:16:03 > 0:16:05It was not quite frosty but it was more

0:16:05 > 0:16:10than a little feisty.

0:16:10 > 0:16:13Wakefield with Miller.

0:16:13 > 0:16:14Lateral running from him.

0:16:14 > 0:16:16On to Finn.

0:16:16 > 0:16:18They are going to push it wide to this right-hand side.

0:16:18 > 0:16:19Gibson into space now.

0:16:19 > 0:16:20Tackled by Ah Van.

0:16:20 > 0:16:22But is a big hit.

0:16:22 > 0:16:23Huge hit by Patrick Ah Van.

0:16:23 > 0:16:25Now Scott Moore has got involved.

0:16:25 > 0:16:27And everybody is piling in.

0:16:27 > 0:16:30Scott Moore shoves Ah Van.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33Patrick Ah Van is going to the sin-bin.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36It looked a big hit.

0:16:36 > 0:16:38Ah Van back on the field.

0:16:38 > 0:16:42Scott Moore hunted him out and that will not go away.

0:16:42 > 0:16:44That one is bubbling over and everybody again piles in.

0:16:44 > 0:16:46Heremaia getting involved.

0:16:46 > 0:16:50One for the referee to sort out here.

0:16:50 > 0:16:53Still it goes on.

0:16:53 > 0:16:56He has sent off Scott Moore.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59The captain appeals.

0:16:59 > 0:17:03But Scott Moore is heading off the field.

0:17:03 > 0:17:06The referee has also sent off Heremaia.

0:17:06 > 0:17:10Did not look favourably on that intervention.

0:17:10 > 0:17:13Miller for Wakefield.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15Striding through the gap.

0:17:15 > 0:17:17Ball comes loose.

0:17:17 > 0:17:18Comes to Anthony Tupou.

0:17:18 > 0:17:19And Wakefield are on the board.

0:17:19 > 0:17:24And finally, we have got some points.

0:17:24 > 0:17:25Wakefield get the penalty here.

0:17:25 > 0:17:28Craig Hall held in the tackle.

0:17:28 > 0:17:33Liam Finn to extend the lead on the hooter.

0:17:33 > 0:17:35And it is good.

0:17:35 > 0:17:378-0.

0:17:37 > 0:17:42It is the end of a pretty fractious half.

0:17:42 > 0:17:44Here goes Hanbury.

0:17:44 > 0:17:47Widnes looking for some grunt and forward momentum

0:17:47 > 0:17:50in this second half.

0:17:50 > 0:17:54Onto Mellor.

0:17:54 > 0:17:56Down the left-hand side.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58Runcimun has a lot to do here.

0:17:58 > 0:18:01He has shrugged him off.

0:18:01 > 0:18:06He has gone in the corner.

0:18:06 > 0:18:10Here goes Tupou.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12And another penalty.

0:18:12 > 0:18:17Liam Finn then from the tee, it extends the lead.

0:18:17 > 0:18:20The referee again playing a big part in this game.

0:18:20 > 0:18:24Widnes knocking on the door.

0:18:24 > 0:18:29A score behind and there goes Eamon O'Carroll.

0:18:29 > 0:18:33Great hands.

0:18:33 > 0:18:36Ten apiece here.

0:18:36 > 0:18:39Almost as many penalties as points.

0:18:39 > 0:18:42As Wakefield ease inside the ten and there comes another one.

0:18:42 > 0:18:49Liam Finn, can he nail it from close range?

0:18:49 > 0:18:51Yes, he can.

0:18:51 > 0:18:55A 2-point ball game.

0:18:55 > 0:18:58It has been a bitty affair, as Wakefield close in on the line

0:18:58 > 0:19:03and the referee has awarded another penalty.

0:19:03 > 0:19:11There is no flow to this game whatsoever.

0:19:11 > 0:19:15And he has sent Lloyd White to the sin-bin.

0:19:15 > 0:19:18I am not quite sure what that was for.

0:19:18 > 0:19:22Hanbury will go alone.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25Hanbury goes across and Widnes take the lead.

0:19:25 > 0:19:29Last gasp here for Wakefield.

0:19:29 > 0:19:34That is a trip on Jacob Miller.

0:19:34 > 0:19:35From Stefan Marsh.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38What will the punishment be here?

0:19:38 > 0:19:41Wakefield want to take their own retribution.

0:19:41 > 0:19:46Marsh goes for ten.

0:19:46 > 0:19:48Last gasp here.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50Miller.

0:19:50 > 0:19:56Wakefield level.

0:19:56 > 0:19:58The kick to come.

0:19:58 > 0:19:59This to win it from Liam Finn.

0:19:59 > 0:20:00It is good.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02Wakefield have snatched it.

0:20:02 > 0:20:08They have edged a brutal classic.

0:20:08 > 0:20:09A crazy game.

0:20:09 > 0:20:12I have certainly not been in a game like that before,

0:20:12 > 0:20:15where there are two men sent off, three or four sin-binned.

0:20:15 > 0:20:17But proud, really proud, really gutsy performance,

0:20:17 > 0:20:23never say die attitude.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25What pleased me most was the togetherness of the group.

0:20:25 > 0:20:27When they made a mistake, they were all patting

0:20:27 > 0:20:29each other on the back and they genuinely believed

0:20:29 > 0:20:33that they could win the game.

0:20:33 > 0:20:36Like 30 odd years doing this, that is the worst I have ever seen,

0:20:36 > 0:20:38the worst refereeing performance I have ever seen.

0:20:38 > 0:20:42We scored a try, we watched it on the video, it is a try.

0:20:42 > 0:20:45There is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

0:20:45 > 0:20:48He just gets it so badly wrong time and time again.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50My 12-year-old daughter who does not know the rules could do

0:20:50 > 0:20:55a better job.

0:20:55 > 0:20:58Strong words is one way of putting what Denis Betts said there.

0:20:58 > 0:21:01We should preface this with, we have not seen the whole game

0:21:01 > 0:21:02and none of us were there.

0:21:02 > 0:21:08But if you see on paper to sendings off and three sin binings,

0:21:08 > 0:21:12do you look at a game that has got a little bit out of control?

0:21:12 > 0:21:13I think so, yeah.

0:21:13 > 0:21:15Ashley Gibson, dislocated shoulder there, torn bicep,

0:21:15 > 0:21:16I think, was the catalyst.

0:21:16 > 0:21:23It was all kicking off, it sort of escalated

0:21:23 > 0:21:25into a bit of chaos.

0:21:25 > 0:21:28Actually that morning, his son is in the same

0:21:28 > 0:21:29class as mine in school.

0:21:29 > 0:21:31He was really looking forward to playing against Widnes

0:21:31 > 0:21:33but unfortunately, he got quite a bad injury.

0:21:33 > 0:21:34A few decisions...

0:21:34 > 0:21:37We looked at a few of the players on the cameras...

0:21:37 > 0:21:38Shall we look at that first one?

0:21:38 > 0:21:40Was that a correct sin-binning for you?

0:21:40 > 0:21:43From the letter of the law, I suppose it is because he has

0:21:43 > 0:21:44taken him over the horizontal there.

0:21:44 > 0:21:47But in my view, it just looked like a good solid tackle.

0:21:47 > 0:21:50But if you slow it down, I suppose the referee

0:21:50 > 0:21:51is probably in the right.

0:21:51 > 0:21:54And that melee that then followed, is that where it descended for you?

0:21:54 > 0:21:55I think so.

0:21:55 > 0:21:58It dropped right down and you have to get control of it.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01He has come back on and wanted to finish what he started and both

0:22:01 > 0:22:03teams have just gone at it.

0:22:03 > 0:22:04Wakefield were desperate to get the win.

0:22:04 > 0:22:07They were playing really well and climbing that table.

0:22:07 > 0:22:09Widnes started like a rocket, house on fire, they have gone

0:22:09 > 0:22:11through a tough period and they are desperate

0:22:11 > 0:22:12to get that back.

0:22:12 > 0:22:14And obviously some of Denis' frustration

0:22:14 > 0:22:15will have come from that.

0:22:15 > 0:22:24They are in a horrible run in Super League.

0:22:24 > 0:22:26When the chips are down, it feels like everything

0:22:26 > 0:22:27runs against you.

0:22:27 > 0:22:28I have been there.

0:22:28 > 0:22:31But I am a big believer in that you make your own luck.

0:22:31 > 0:22:33Sometimes you get a bad call.

0:22:33 > 0:22:42But sometimes it just cannot be helped.

0:22:43 > 0:22:44And another win for Wakefield.

0:22:44 > 0:22:48They have done really well.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50Yes, they beat us a few weeks back.

0:22:50 > 0:22:51They are a really good side.

0:22:51 > 0:22:53The team spirit there is brilliant.

0:22:53 > 0:22:57They have had it tough for a lot of years, Wakefield.

0:22:57 > 0:22:59They have been down that rabbit hole.

0:22:59 > 0:23:00They are a good club.

0:23:00 > 0:23:02They get great support from the fans.

0:23:02 > 0:23:03They are getting their just desserts.

0:23:03 > 0:23:04They are getting the wins.

0:23:04 > 0:23:06Scoring the winner in the last minute.

0:23:06 > 0:23:11Good on them.

0:23:11 > 0:23:14Castleford were back at the Jungle on Sunday when St Helens

0:23:14 > 0:23:15were in town.

0:23:15 > 0:23:17Last week, the Tigers were hammered by Hull KR.

0:23:17 > 0:23:21Another tough fixture for them but a good bounce back from them.

0:23:21 > 0:23:23They have obviously come out and responded really well.

0:23:23 > 0:23:26I do not think St Helens are their best just yet.

0:23:26 > 0:23:28But as I said before, they are grabbing the wins.

0:23:28 > 0:23:31Lomax's return has been massive for them.

0:23:31 > 0:23:34He has scored three tries, I think, in his first three games back.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37You can see by his excitement as well how chuffed

0:23:37 > 0:23:38he is to be back for them.

0:23:38 > 0:23:40He is a big omission.

0:23:40 > 0:23:42Castleford are looking for a bit of form, but going

0:23:42 > 0:23:51in the right direction.

0:23:53 > 0:23:55Gale fantastic for them in this game.

0:23:55 > 0:23:56He had Grant Millington alongside him.

0:23:56 > 0:24:01Really directing them around.

0:24:01 > 0:24:03Yes, the big fella, he has got great skills,

0:24:03 > 0:24:05but that is a great try.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07You can see why he was in the squad representing

0:24:07 > 0:24:08at the end of last year.

0:24:08 > 0:24:10I think he is a really top-class player.

0:24:10 > 0:24:20He leads the team around well.

0:24:22 > 0:24:24And for St Helens, you talked about Lomax coming back.

0:24:24 > 0:24:27Do you think they will be a different team once

0:24:27 > 0:24:31they really bed him back in?

0:24:31 > 0:24:32Yes, I think so.

0:24:32 > 0:24:34He made a difference, he made an impact straightaway against us.

0:24:34 > 0:24:35He scored the opening try.

0:24:35 > 0:24:37He is really excited to be back.

0:24:37 > 0:24:40As you mentioned before, a lot of teams are finding it tough

0:24:40 > 0:24:41at the minute without their players.

0:24:41 > 0:24:43Leeds Rhinos are definitely a part of that.

0:24:43 > 0:24:50We have got a few missing that we would love to get back.

0:24:50 > 0:24:51Andy Lynch is out.

0:24:51 > 0:24:57Yes, Castleford are a good club.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59I think the best thing about Luke Gale, he has been

0:24:59 > 0:25:00from Leeds down to London.

0:25:00 > 0:25:02He did it tough at Bradford.

0:25:02 > 0:25:03Now he is getting his just desserts.

0:25:03 > 0:25:10He is quality.

0:25:10 > 0:25:16He has lost a bit of hair on the journey.

0:25:16 > 0:25:21We are not going down that road.

0:25:21 > 0:25:23Let's move on.

0:25:23 > 0:25:24Last time Leeds were at Huddersfield, both teams

0:25:24 > 0:25:27were in with a chance of winning the league leaders shield.

0:25:27 > 0:25:30And the Rhinos ended the night two thirds of the way to the treble.

0:25:30 > 0:25:33How times have changed because the targets were both teams

0:25:33 > 0:25:36at the moment are simply to make it to the top eight.

0:25:36 > 0:25:43Watching Huddersfield against Leeds was Dave Woods.

0:25:43 > 0:25:45COMMENTATOR: Leeds are beginning to look right and they have

0:25:45 > 0:25:49got a bit of width.

0:25:49 > 0:25:51The flick inside has gone to ground.

0:25:51 > 0:25:52And Huddersfield regain possession.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54That is an ambitious flick from Watkins but it was Murphy

0:25:54 > 0:26:03who came up with possession.

0:26:03 > 0:26:05Crabtree running in the hard down the middle.

0:26:05 > 0:26:10Returning tonight from his recent brief spell on the sidelines

0:26:10 > 0:26:12and a penalty goals Huddersfield's way.

0:26:12 > 0:26:14Too much hanging on here in the tackle.

0:26:14 > 0:26:17So a chance to set up a position, the kick finds them

0:26:17 > 0:26:26with a tap restart just about ten metres away.

0:26:26 > 0:26:27That is Murphy.

0:26:27 > 0:26:30Hinchcliffe.

0:26:30 > 0:26:34Down the left-hand side.

0:26:34 > 0:26:37He has bullied his way over.

0:26:37 > 0:26:38The first try of the night.

0:26:38 > 0:26:45Five minutes played and Huddersfield are off.

0:26:45 > 0:26:50Such a dynamic force at the heart of that Leeds side.

0:26:50 > 0:26:59Right and left, little kick from Sutcliffe, being chased hard

0:27:02 > 0:27:05and Jordan Lilley I think has stretched over to score.

0:27:05 > 0:27:10He has.

0:27:10 > 0:27:12Leeds back level.

0:27:12 > 0:27:17Clawing their way back into the game.

0:27:17 > 0:27:24It has gone left.

0:27:24 > 0:27:26Brett Ferris.

0:27:26 > 0:27:28You can tell by the booing that it is Brett Ferris.

0:27:28 > 0:27:31But he has done very well for his current team

0:27:31 > 0:27:33with the off-load.

0:27:33 > 0:27:35But they are getting closer and closer here.

0:27:35 > 0:27:36It is messy.

0:27:36 > 0:27:38Too messy.

0:27:38 > 0:27:44Lawrence at the bottom of that gives away the penalty.

0:27:44 > 0:27:47So a chance for Jordan Lilley to extend the lead to 8-4.

0:27:47 > 0:27:49Tight and tense, this first half between two of the clubs

0:27:49 > 0:27:50in the bottom three.

0:27:50 > 0:27:56Leeds lead 8-4.

0:27:56 > 0:28:01Hinchcliffe, at dummy half again.

0:28:01 > 0:28:04Huddersfield are pressing hard.

0:28:04 > 0:28:06Hinchcliffe closer and closer.

0:28:06 > 0:28:07He wants this ball played quickly.

0:28:07 > 0:28:12Spinning it back.

0:28:12 > 0:28:15Not a great pass.

0:28:15 > 0:28:18It is picked up and that is a good effort.

0:28:18 > 0:28:20Here goes Murphy with the pass.

0:28:20 > 0:28:25Ormsby for the corner.

0:28:25 > 0:28:27Early in the second half.

0:28:27 > 0:28:35Huddersfield with a chance to take the lead again now.

0:28:35 > 0:28:39The referee, hands off the ball to Ryan Hinchcliffe.

0:28:39 > 0:28:43Gilbert trying to drive into position.

0:28:43 > 0:28:49Burrow again, skipping, short pass to his right hand side

0:28:49 > 0:28:51and a reach by Josh Walters.

0:28:51 > 0:28:55He scores his first since the Grand Final last

0:28:55 > 0:29:01year and it is Leeds who have the lead again.

0:29:01 > 0:29:04Well, he is impatient.

0:29:04 > 0:29:05Huddersfield anxious to get on with it.

0:29:05 > 0:29:11Danny Brough.

0:29:11 > 0:29:12There is an overlap developing here.

0:29:12 > 0:29:13Space developing.

0:29:13 > 0:29:16Back on the inside comes Jermaine MacGillivray.

0:29:16 > 0:29:18He has found a corridor to run through.

0:29:18 > 0:29:22And he scores.

0:29:22 > 0:29:30And it swings back the Giants' way.

0:29:30 > 0:29:34Jones, Buchanan, Leeds getting closer and closer again here.

0:29:34 > 0:29:36It is so tight to call.

0:29:36 > 0:29:41A desperately tense night.

0:29:41 > 0:29:43Cameron Smith, the 17-year-old, playing the ball.

0:29:43 > 0:29:44Back comes Galloway.

0:29:44 > 0:29:46Cannot chop away those desperate defenders.

0:29:46 > 0:29:54Rob Burrow he dummies left and scores.

0:29:54 > 0:29:57Big dummy, creates the gap and the uncertainty, and burrows

0:29:57 > 0:30:07over for a telling touchdown.

0:30:10 > 0:30:12Time is not entirely on Huddersfield's side

0:30:12 > 0:30:15here, about six minutes of the match remaining.

0:30:15 > 0:30:16Desperately looking to put themselves back

0:30:16 > 0:30:18in the lead if they can.

0:30:18 > 0:30:19Connor is over.

0:30:19 > 0:30:23Jake Connor.

0:30:23 > 0:30:26If the kick goes over Huddersfield will have a two point lead,

0:30:26 > 0:30:29and it might just be enough.

0:30:29 > 0:30:39With time ticking by.

0:30:39 > 0:30:40Another try would make absolutely sure.

0:30:40 > 0:30:42Brough puts the kick high in the air.

0:30:42 > 0:30:43Down it comes.

0:30:43 > 0:30:46Tries to go on the outside, pops it back in the middle,

0:30:46 > 0:30:49and Ta'ai will claim it.

0:30:49 > 0:30:53Danny Brough was dangerously close to the touchline there.

0:30:53 > 0:31:00Frustration for Paul Brough connects here.

0:31:00 > 0:31:02Frustration for Paul Anderson, because he knows if

0:31:02 > 0:31:03this try is given...

0:31:03 > 0:31:04It is the match over.

0:31:04 > 0:31:05No try, says the referee.

0:31:05 > 0:31:07Danny Brough's left foot hits the whitewash.

0:31:07 > 0:31:10It's a question of, does he have the balls

0:31:10 > 0:31:13It's a question of, does he have the ball still in his hands?

0:31:13 > 0:31:14I think he does.

0:31:14 > 0:31:16And it is no try.

0:31:16 > 0:31:19But Huddersfield retain possession with two minutes left.

0:31:19 > 0:31:22Kyle Wood.

0:31:22 > 0:31:24Going to Brough, Brough with the pass here!

0:31:24 > 0:31:28This might be it, oh, he's just held up.

0:31:28 > 0:31:31Oliver Roberts just held up.

0:31:31 > 0:31:39Still a couple of tackles to go.

0:31:39 > 0:31:41Crabtree trying to urge his body over the line.

0:31:41 > 0:31:42He is held up as well.

0:31:42 > 0:31:45How has this goal-line defence been from Leeds tonight?

0:31:45 > 0:31:48Hang on, the referee...

0:31:48 > 0:31:52..thinks it's a try, he thinks Crabtree has touched down here.

0:31:52 > 0:31:56Remember, the video referee has to be certain not to give it,

0:31:56 > 0:31:59and there is a certain lack of certainty there, isn't there?

0:32:01 > 0:32:03I think they might give this, they have to give it.

0:32:03 > 0:32:06The try is given, Crabtree the scorer, and Huddersfield

0:32:06 > 0:32:12are winners to lift them off bottom spot, and over Leeds in the table.

0:32:12 > 0:32:22What a big, big night.

0:32:22 > 0:32:25STUDIO: Jamie, we will let you loose on Leeds in a minute,

0:32:25 > 0:32:27but we should reflect on a big win for Huddersfield.

0:32:27 > 0:32:29You could see the delight at the end.

0:32:29 > 0:32:30It was.

0:32:30 > 0:32:33You know, they had a tough start of the year but the last few weeks,

0:32:33 > 0:32:35especially when we played them, they played great.

0:32:35 > 0:32:38They were unlucky against Wigan, and then last week...

0:32:38 > 0:32:40Obviously good enough to beat an injury depleted Leeds.

0:32:40 > 0:32:42A lot of downheartedness, it would appear, at Leeds,

0:32:42 > 0:32:51you know when you are whacked, don't you?

0:32:54 > 0:32:57Yes, we know where we are at, and we know where we've been,

0:32:57 > 0:33:00we know where we need to go, that is the most important thing,

0:33:00 > 0:33:03if you are at the bottom and you can't figure out what's

0:33:03 > 0:33:04wrong then you're quite worried.

0:33:04 > 0:33:07Some of the incongruence to do with this year has been part

0:33:07 > 0:33:08of the battle.

0:33:08 > 0:33:10We are getting there, taking strides, and our youngsters

0:33:10 > 0:33:11have been fantastic.

0:33:11 > 0:33:14They are getting stronger and getting more belief every week.

0:33:14 > 0:33:17I think what is really important is that we stick to what we are

0:33:17 > 0:33:20doing, we can't lose faith in what we are doing,

0:33:20 > 0:33:22we just have to believe, and whatever idea you have to come

0:33:22 > 0:33:25up with you have to keep hunching the gun.

0:33:25 > 0:33:26We'll get there.

0:33:26 > 0:33:29And for you, I don't want to go on about age because that applies

0:33:29 > 0:33:32to both of you, but do you feel like the elder statesman out there?

0:33:32 > 0:33:36Your team-mates are getting younger by the week.

0:33:36 > 0:33:39Yes, I mentioned it the other night, we had a debutant there,

0:33:39 > 0:33:42Cameron Smith, who was six months old when I made my debut!

0:33:42 > 0:33:43Which is amazing.

0:33:43 > 0:33:45I can't believe it because time has gone like that.

0:33:45 > 0:33:48You spend a career trying to make it, and by the time you get

0:33:48 > 0:33:49there you're finishing.

0:33:49 > 0:33:52But it's almost like a crossing over of time to new generations.

0:33:52 > 0:33:55But it's almost like a nexus, a crossing over of time

0:33:55 > 0:33:56to new generations.

0:33:56 > 0:33:59I am really privileged as part of the old one to see this

0:33:59 > 0:34:03new group, and some of the successes I have had over the last ten years

0:34:03 > 0:34:05with the group I came from, I want to pass that

0:34:05 > 0:34:08on to the next generation, because as a Leeds fan,

0:34:08 > 0:34:09they are getting there, watch out.

0:34:09 > 0:34:11Do you believe you can still make that top eight?

0:34:11 > 0:34:13Listen, if we can statistically still get there then

0:34:13 > 0:34:15obviously I believe.

0:34:15 > 0:34:18If I didn't think we were going to win a game

0:34:18 > 0:34:19I wouldn't bother turning up.

0:34:19 > 0:34:22I want to win every single game I play, I love that.

0:34:22 > 0:34:25I am a distinctly average player that has had a career at Leeds,

0:34:25 > 0:34:2815 years, but it's just on the back of desire,

0:34:28 > 0:34:30just wanting to win, and I've played with some great

0:34:30 > 0:34:33lads like Jamie Peacock, but those lessons I have learned,

0:34:33 > 0:34:37I have to take them into the game now, try to lead by example as one

0:34:37 > 0:34:39of the older players, and I promise you, these young boys

0:34:39 > 0:34:40will really do well.

0:34:40 > 0:34:43And that's what you want from your elder statesmen, too.

0:34:43 > 0:34:44Success breeds success.

0:34:44 > 0:34:46You have guys like him, guys like Burrow, Maguire,

0:34:46 > 0:34:49who won so much in the past, he want to bring that

0:34:49 > 0:34:51who won so much in the past, you want to bring that

0:34:52 > 0:34:52onto the young guys.

0:34:52 > 0:34:56I know they're going through a tough time at the moment, but some

0:34:56 > 0:34:58of these young guys, they will look back on this

0:34:58 > 0:35:00experience and think, we have gone through the tough times

0:35:00 > 0:35:02with guys like this leading us the way.

0:35:02 > 0:35:05I can definitely see them guys coming up the ladder.

0:35:05 > 0:35:07You played again of course on Friday in the Challenge Cup.

0:35:07 > 0:35:10You play again of course on Friday in the Challenge Cup.

0:35:10 > 0:35:12Will it be very different because it is knockout football

0:35:12 > 0:35:14or just because it is another game?

0:35:14 > 0:35:17Well, history tells me that the two games are always different

0:35:17 > 0:35:20when you play a team in the league the week before and then go back

0:35:20 > 0:35:23in Challenge Cup, the results, the scores are completely different.

0:35:23 > 0:35:25I think both teams will try to second-guess each other,

0:35:25 > 0:35:28based on the week before, but at the minute we have

0:35:28 > 0:35:29to look after ourselves.

0:35:29 > 0:35:30Ashton is absolutely right.

0:35:30 > 0:35:33I would just like to say I am enjoying the rugby as much

0:35:33 > 0:35:35as I ever have done, even though we are in

0:35:35 > 0:35:37the bottom four of the table.

0:35:37 > 0:35:40A challenge is a challenge, and that is why we play sport,

0:35:40 > 0:35:42we want to go out and challenge ourselves every week.

0:35:42 > 0:35:45Whether you are challenging for top four, top one or coming

0:35:45 > 0:35:48off the foot the table, it is a challenge and we really

0:35:48 > 0:35:50enjoy it and were looking forward to this fresh competition

0:35:50 > 0:35:51in the Challenge Cup.

0:35:51 > 0:35:53Young guys would follow him anywhere, wouldn't they?

0:35:53 > 0:35:54You bet, yes!

0:35:54 > 0:35:57Now time for this week's #lasttackle, when we try and dig

0:35:57 > 0:35:59a little deeper into the lives of the Super League stars.

0:35:59 > 0:36:01This week, we are with Hull Kingston Rovers.

0:36:01 > 0:36:03I order a caramel latte.

0:36:03 > 0:36:06I'm not a big coffee drinker, I'm a big tea drinker, me.

0:36:06 > 0:36:08I'm usually pretty simple, just a bottle of water.

0:36:08 > 0:36:10I order a cappuccino.

0:36:10 > 0:36:13A flat white if I'm back in Australia.

0:36:17 > 0:36:20Favourite Disney movie is Up.

0:36:20 > 0:36:22The Lion King.

0:36:22 > 0:36:23Got to be The Lion King.

0:36:23 > 0:36:24Classic.

0:36:24 > 0:36:27I used to cry when Mufasa died.

0:36:27 > 0:36:29I think I still cry at it.

0:36:29 > 0:36:31I recently went to watch the new Jungle Book at the cinema.

0:36:31 > 0:36:34That's a good film, highly recommended.

0:36:34 > 0:36:36Favourite Disney movie?

0:36:36 > 0:36:37Dumbo.

0:36:37 > 0:36:40I had Dumbo as my nickname growing up, and it's pretty easy

0:36:40 > 0:36:42to know why, but yes, it's cool, and I love

0:36:42 > 0:36:46the little baby elephants.

0:36:46 > 0:36:46We could have practised for these before we came

0:36:50 > 0:36:52We could have practised for these before we came

0:36:52 > 0:36:54in because there are a few curved balls here!

0:36:54 > 0:36:55A favourite smell...

0:36:55 > 0:36:58My mum's steak pie that she makes from scratch.

0:36:58 > 0:37:00It's always good and no one can ever make it the same.

0:37:00 > 0:37:06My favourite smell is myself after a game.

0:37:06 > 0:37:08Freshly cut grass on a summer's day.

0:37:08 > 0:37:09Minted lamb, there's one for you.

0:37:09 > 0:37:12I do like minted lamb, if were talking about food smells,

0:37:12 > 0:37:13I'd have to say that.

0:37:13 > 0:37:15My last meal, well, I've already said minted lamb,

0:37:15 > 0:37:18I like the smell of that, so I'd have a nice

0:37:18 > 0:37:21piece of minted lamb.

0:37:21 > 0:37:26A big piece of meat cooked by my dad with some green beans.

0:37:26 > 0:37:28Some mashed potato...

0:37:28 > 0:37:29Steak and chips.

0:37:29 > 0:37:38Pizza.

0:37:39 > 0:37:41Sweet potato and regular potatoes mixed together.

0:37:41 > 0:37:46Broccoli, asparagus...

0:37:46 > 0:37:48Last meal was a big chicken schnitzel topped with tortellini.

0:37:48 > 0:37:49And some gravy.

0:37:49 > 0:37:52For my ideal pet, it would probably be my dog that I've got

0:37:52 > 0:37:55at the minute, my best mate, does everything with me.

0:37:55 > 0:37:58I'd stay loyal and I'd always choose a dog, I think, first.

0:37:58 > 0:37:59My ideal pet would probably be a lizard.

0:38:00 > 0:38:00My ideal pet?

0:38:00 > 0:38:04I'd love to have a pet monkey, I reckon that would be pretty cool.

0:38:04 > 0:38:07I think it be pretty cool to have a tiger or a lion

0:38:07 > 0:38:08or something to walk around with.

0:38:08 > 0:38:10That would be pretty interesting, I think.

0:38:11 > 0:38:14People might notice in Hull if he walked around with a lion!

0:38:14 > 0:38:17Well I bet there's a few people who have got lions!

0:38:17 > 0:38:20LAUGHTER.

0:38:20 > 0:38:21No Ben Cockayne for Rovers on Saturday.

0:38:21 > 0:38:22They were at Salford.

0:38:22 > 0:38:25The Red Devils had six points taken off last week

0:38:25 > 0:38:29for a salary cap offences.

0:38:29 > 0:38:31They are appealing, but the players seem to be keen

0:38:31 > 0:38:33to get those points back, don't they, Ashton?

0:38:33 > 0:38:36Always good to see players reactions to big news like that.

0:38:36 > 0:38:38I think Salford did a great job.

0:38:38 > 0:38:41Rob Louis and Gaz O'Brien, looks like they had a really big game,

0:38:41 > 0:38:46so a great fightback to what was a tough week for them.

0:38:46 > 0:38:49You know Louis very well, he's a key player for them, isn't he?

0:38:49 > 0:38:51He is.

0:38:51 > 0:38:55When he's fit, no injuries or anything, he's a gamebreaker,

0:38:55 > 0:38:57right there, I think.

0:38:57 > 0:39:00I had a couple of great years with him at the Cowboys back

0:39:00 > 0:39:02in North Queensland, and he was definitely an important

0:39:02 > 0:39:05part of our team back then.

0:39:05 > 0:39:08And for Hull KR, off the back of the big win at Castleford,

0:39:08 > 0:39:10would they have wanted to get a bit closer?

0:39:10 > 0:39:13I think so, yes, it's about backing up the performance, isn't it?

0:39:13 > 0:39:16Like JP mentioned, it's about getting a big win but you've

0:39:16 > 0:39:22got to do it week in week out.

0:39:22 > 0:39:25They've been in a tough spot, Hull KR, it's just a tough week.

0:39:25 > 0:39:28Just to add to that about Salford, credit to those guys,

0:39:28 > 0:39:30they're really fighting hard for each other this year.

0:39:30 > 0:39:33When you look at the side, it's a really good team,

0:39:33 > 0:39:35performing really well, and they're trying to

0:39:35 > 0:39:37make up for the sins of their forefathers,

0:39:37 > 0:39:37if you like.

0:39:37 > 0:39:41Credit to them for a big win here.

0:39:41 > 0:39:43For Hull KR, they are pretty busted up, aren't they?

0:39:43 > 0:39:45You get the feeling they're bringing out players

0:39:45 > 0:39:48who are not fully fit.

0:39:48 > 0:39:50Yeah, and apparently Ken Sio is out indefinitely,

0:39:50 > 0:39:53he picked up another injury to what is an important part

0:39:53 > 0:39:55of their team, so, you know, they're fighting hard,

0:39:55 > 0:39:57and like I said before, if rugby league was easy

0:39:57 > 0:39:58everyone would be doing it.

0:39:58 > 0:40:02A lot of teams are doing it tough and it is about digging your

0:40:02 > 0:40:03heels in and holding on.

0:40:03 > 0:40:05Gareth O'Brien seems to be going well for Salford,

0:40:05 > 0:40:10another player you know well.

0:40:10 > 0:40:11Yes, he is.

0:40:11 > 0:40:16He had a couple of really good games for us last year.

0:40:16 > 0:40:19You could see the time he was there and obviously he's gone

0:40:19 > 0:40:22to Salford and had a new lease on life on his rugby career.

0:40:22 > 0:40:24You know, he's playing great from what I have seen.

0:40:24 > 0:40:25Credit to him.

0:40:25 > 0:40:27He works really hard on his game.

0:40:27 > 0:40:30I think he has found a home back there at full-back.

0:40:30 > 0:40:33This is quite a try from Ken Sio, so he will be missed for them.

0:40:33 > 0:40:34Certainly, yes, bittersweet.

0:40:34 > 0:40:41I think he finishes up with a tough injury there but a fantastic try.

0:40:41 > 0:40:43And the sin-binning coming up here, this one pretty clear,

0:40:44 > 0:40:45I would have said, Tomkins?

0:40:45 > 0:40:46Yes...

0:40:46 > 0:40:48I don't know how you feel about that.

0:40:48 > 0:40:49Yes, that's a tough one.

0:40:49 > 0:40:50That's...

0:40:50 > 0:40:53When you've got ankles and knees involved like that, you know,

0:40:53 > 0:40:57I know he probably didn't mean it, he didn't mean it to be as malicious

0:40:57 > 0:40:58as it looked, but...

0:40:58 > 0:41:00It is a hard one to swallow, though.

0:41:00 > 0:41:02Another old team-mate of yours seems to have

0:41:02 > 0:41:05done well at Hull KR.

0:41:05 > 0:41:08Yes, bless him, credit to him, I coached him a few years ago

0:41:08 > 0:41:12when he was in under 16 is at Leeds.

0:41:12 > 0:41:15He disappeared and took the back route, went down to London,

0:41:15 > 0:41:17and just great to see him back up here playing really well,

0:41:17 > 0:41:21scoring tries, diving over from 20 metres out!

0:41:21 > 0:41:27Did you teach in that?

0:41:27 > 0:41:29No, no, he's been watching Wakefield.

0:41:29 > 0:41:31Credit to him, brilliant, it's nice to see the young lads doing well.

0:41:31 > 0:41:34And for Salford, they still believe they can make that top eight,

0:41:34 > 0:41:36that will really drive them forward.

0:41:36 > 0:41:40Won't it?

0:41:40 > 0:41:41Definitely.

0:41:41 > 0:41:44As Jamie said before, I remember us doing the video on Salford,

0:41:44 > 0:41:46they are really well-balanced team, I think they have bought

0:41:46 > 0:41:47well in the preseason.

0:41:47 > 0:41:50They had a few guys come back for them as well,

0:41:50 > 0:41:55I think they could be a wild card there.

0:41:55 > 0:41:58So as the teams head for the next round of the Challenge Cup,

0:41:58 > 0:42:00let's see who is up and who's down in the First Utility

0:42:00 > 0:42:01let's see who is up and who's down in the First Utility

0:42:01 > 0:42:02Super League table.

0:42:02 > 0:42:04Warrington remain top, they are two points

0:42:04 > 0:42:08above Catalan, Hull and Wigan.

0:42:08 > 0:42:11Wakefield climb above Castleford and Huddersfield are off the bottom.

0:42:11 > 0:42:13Then when at Leeds means the champions are on the foot

0:42:14 > 0:42:15of the table.

0:42:15 > 0:42:2111 of the 12 Super League teams are in Challenge Cup action this week.

0:42:21 > 0:42:24Huddersfield and Leeds is one of three all Super League ties.

0:42:24 > 0:42:26Don't forget, live coverage from Castleford and Saint Helens

0:42:26 > 0:42:29on the BBC on Saturday and Sunday.

0:42:29 > 0:42:37Finally, then, let's take a step back into the rugby league archives.

0:42:37 > 0:42:38The retirements of Jamie Lyon and Kevin Sinfield

0:42:38 > 0:42:40were confirmed last week, which brought back memories

0:42:40 > 0:42:42of a play-off classic between St Helens and Leeds in 2005.

0:42:50 > 0:42:54COMMENTATOR: Fantastic atmosphere on a big night

0:42:54 > 0:42:56for two giants of the game.

0:42:56 > 0:43:03Lyon for St Helens, he's lost it, and Maguire will score.

0:43:03 > 0:43:05He literally picked the pockets of Jamie Lyon.

0:43:05 > 0:43:13Knowsley Road is absolutely stunned.

0:43:13 > 0:43:19Just in a little bit of silence here again.

0:43:19 > 0:43:22Diskin plays it inside of Ward.

0:43:22 > 0:43:25Crashed through, and the Saint Helens defence is breached again.

0:43:25 > 0:43:26Here comes the last tackle.

0:43:26 > 0:43:28Wilkie tries to slide it in.

0:43:28 > 0:43:30Picked up, and now, has he got the pace?

0:43:30 > 0:43:34He is over the halfway line, being chased, but the cut for a run.

0:43:34 > 0:43:36Who on earth believed he could go 80 yards?

0:43:36 > 0:43:38That will go down in Leeds legend.

0:43:38 > 0:43:40It is a gamebreaker and possibly a matchwinner.

0:43:40 > 0:43:41Two to come.

0:43:41 > 0:43:44Here comes Sinfield with a drop goal, and over it goes.

0:43:44 > 0:43:46Now Saint Helens have to score four times to somehow

0:43:46 > 0:43:51get themselves level.

0:43:51 > 0:43:55Here comes Lyon, though, and Lyon's squeezed over.

0:43:55 > 0:43:57They need three more.

0:43:57 > 0:44:00That's the problem.

0:44:00 > 0:44:07Good offload.

0:44:07 > 0:44:09Wellens to Lyon again, Lyon's taking the ball, oh, boys,

0:44:09 > 0:44:10he's taking them on.

0:44:10 > 0:44:11Great offload, gets a second try.

0:44:11 > 0:44:13It is two in two minutes!

0:44:13 > 0:44:16Absolutely beggars belief!

0:44:16 > 0:44:18Listen to the noise now.

0:44:18 > 0:44:22Coming up from dummy half, good offload.

0:44:23 > 0:44:24Lyon again, Lyon is going over!

0:44:24 > 0:44:30Oh, my word, what a story!

0:44:30 > 0:44:34Three tries in four minutes now, and from absolutely nowhere,

0:44:34 > 0:44:41Saint Helens are right back in it, and its Jamie Lyon.

0:44:41 > 0:44:47The hooter will sound.

0:44:47 > 0:44:48Next play.

0:44:48 > 0:44:50He knew exactly what to do.

0:44:50 > 0:44:52The hooter sounds, and everybody thinks back to their chairs.

0:44:52 > 0:44:54The hooter sounds, and everybody sinks back to their chairs.

0:44:54 > 0:44:57Leeds are through by the skin of their teeth.

0:44:58 > 0:45:05Breathless just watching that!

0:45:05 > 0:45:07Big Ally , he could move, couldn't he?

0:45:07 > 0:45:11Hairs standing up on the back of my neck!

0:45:11 > 0:45:16We still talk about that try, because no word of a lie,

0:45:16 > 0:45:19he said to me, 30 seconds before, Jonesy, you come inside and do

0:45:19 > 0:45:20the defensive setup.

0:45:20 > 0:45:23He said he would drop the ball, and he picked it up and flew,

0:45:23 > 0:45:25I couldn't believe it, he had all this energy.

0:45:25 > 0:45:26Bull at the gates!

0:45:26 > 0:45:29Yes, only an open try line and chocolate that

0:45:29 > 0:45:31make him run that fast!

0:45:31 > 0:45:32LAUGHTER.

0:45:32 > 0:45:34Bless him, he did really well, but Saints,

0:45:34 > 0:45:36that was a big win for us because Saints were

0:45:36 > 0:45:38unreal in 05, 06 and 07.

0:45:38 > 0:45:40When I retire playing, whenever that will be,

0:45:40 > 0:45:43but Saints team will be the best team I have ever played against.

0:45:43 > 0:45:45Jamie Lyon, quite some player he has been.

0:45:45 > 0:45:48Oh yes, and he still is, he is still playing great back home.

0:45:48 > 0:45:50He will look back on a really successful career.

0:45:50 > 0:45:53He did a lot of good things over here as well

0:45:53 > 0:45:54in the pomp of his career.

0:45:54 > 0:45:57One of the best centres we have had in the last ten years for sure.

0:45:57 > 0:45:59How tough was he to play against?

0:45:59 > 0:46:01Surreal, just freakish, just do some stuff...

0:46:01 > 0:46:04That out ball, it didn't look like an off-load, did it?

0:46:04 > 0:46:06It looked like some geezer had stolen it.

0:46:06 > 0:46:08The best rugby players usually do that, that's why it's so great

0:46:08 > 0:46:09and diverse, but phenomenal.

0:46:09 > 0:46:13Just in the commentary there it said they need three more and Saints back

0:46:13 > 0:46:20then especially could pull three out of the bag just like that.

0:46:20 > 0:46:23Very quickly, can you see Kevin back at the Rhinos in some shape

0:46:23 > 0:46:24or form in the future?

0:46:24 > 0:46:25Possibly!

0:46:25 > 0:46:28He is going on holiday, looking forward to a big collar day,

0:46:28 > 0:46:31He is going on holiday, looking forward to a big holiday,

0:46:31 > 0:46:32going to Disneyland, Center Parcs, then he

0:46:32 > 0:46:33will decide what to do,

0:46:33 > 0:46:35but it is a possibility, I don't know.

0:46:35 > 0:46:39It would be great to see him in rugby league in some shape

0:46:39 > 0:46:39or form, wouldn't it.

0:46:39 > 0:46:43I'd love it, and I'd love to see him as soon as possible.

0:46:43 > 0:46:43Talk him round!

0:46:43 > 0:46:46That's it for this week, my thanks to Jamie and

0:46:46 > 0:46:47Ashton for joining us.

0:46:47 > 0:46:50We'll see you for the Challenge Cup live on the BBC next week

0:46:50 > 0:46:53and the Super League Show is back in a fortnight.

0:46:53 > 0:46:54Goodbye.
