0:00:35 > 0:00:38Hello we have arrived at the penultimate round of matches

0:00:38 > 0:00:41in the regular season and the last time we saw this set of fixtures

0:00:41 > 0:00:44it was Magic Weekend in Newcastle so plenty of scores to be sdttled

0:00:44 > 0:00:47in Round 22.

0:00:47 > 0:00:51MUSIC: Lawson - 'Used To Be Us'

0:01:25 > 0:01:28Our two little ducks for Rotnd 2 by the Huddersfield prop

0:01:28 > 0:01:31Eorl Crabtree and Wakefield coach Chris Chester and we will start

0:01:31 > 0:01:34with the Wildcats who were hn the South of France to take

0:01:34 > 0:01:36on Catalan, just a dropped goal separated these two

0:01:36 > 0:01:40so what happened on Saturdax?

0:01:40 > 0:01:46Matt Newsome was watching.

0:01:46 > 0:01:48Miller to feed the scrum for Wakefield.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51From the base, Moore to Sio.

0:01:51 > 0:01:55Decent position this for Wakefield.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57Searing day in Perpignan.

0:01:57 > 0:02:06Miller to the left.

0:02:06 > 0:02:07Into the hand of Jowett.

0:02:07 > 0:02:11He has got down the left-hand side, he is going for support and he has

0:02:11 > 0:02:13found Jowitt and Jowitt has caught the ball down and Wakefield

0:02:13 > 0:02:14hit the front.

0:02:14 > 0:02:15Fine try.

0:02:33 > 0:02:34Penalty for Catalan.

0:02:34 > 0:02:35Maria will put it in.

0:02:35 > 0:02:36Wakefield scramble back into the line.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39Moore will come to the right-hand side, through the hands it goes

0:02:39 > 0:02:42to Gigot, he is still going, has he got it down?

0:02:42 > 0:02:43He thinks he has.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45Wakefield were there in numbers and Chris Campbell

0:02:45 > 0:02:46is going to video referee.

0:02:46 > 0:02:52He has got a try on field ddcision.

0:02:52 > 0:02:56Gigot spins with the ball `nd it looks as though it is on thd line.

0:02:56 > 0:02:57And back in the third set.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59Catalan back in the game.

0:02:59 > 0:03:00Pull with me Wakefield, go.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02Having gone in front, Wakefheld they need to try and stem this

0:03:02 > 0:03:04Catalan side now it is level.

0:03:04 > 0:03:05Hold it!

0:03:05 > 0:03:06Yaha.

0:03:06 > 0:03:07Centrefield, move it to the right-hand side.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10Great run by Dave Taylor, he has gone steaming

0:03:10 > 0:03:13through and that is why thex call Dave Taylor The Coal Train.

0:03:13 > 0:03:17Catalan Dragons move ahead.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20And Dave Taylor is the man on the spot.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30Keep it low.

0:03:30 > 0:03:30Jason Baitieri.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33Pound for pound one of the toughest in the game.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35It has taken three men to put him down.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37The dummy half to the right.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39He goes straight through.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41What a try.

0:03:41 > 0:03:45They could not stop the big back rower and Catalan Dragons are really

0:03:45 > 0:03:53stamping their authority in this first half.

0:03:53 > 0:03:54Hold the line.

0:03:54 > 0:03:55Eight minutes to the break.

0:03:55 > 0:04:0218-6.

0:04:02 > 0:04:03Arona backing in.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05He is going to be held up.

0:04:05 > 0:04:06Played the ball to Moore.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08John Molloy.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11Under the shadows of the st`nd in front of the Wakefield supporters,

0:04:11 > 0:04:15John Molloy touches down.

0:04:15 > 0:04:18Catalan Dragons goal-line drop out.

0:04:18 > 0:04:22Wakefield turning the screw.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24It is a long punt.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26From under the sticks.

0:04:26 > 0:04:27Here goes Anthony Tupou.

0:04:27 > 0:04:28With space to run into.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31Met by a wall of Catalan pl`yers, it is a loose off-load,

0:04:31 > 0:04:34hacked on by Craig Hall, a race, that is horrible

0:04:34 > 0:04:38and Craig Hall is bounced.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41And Catalan Dragons have bedn torn apart at the back.

0:04:41 > 0:04:46Escare has made a real hash of it.

0:04:46 > 0:04:51The puff of the cheeks says it all.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53To the right-hand side, he goes through, has he got

0:04:53 > 0:04:56the ball down?

0:04:56 > 0:05:01He has, but Chris Campbell says forward pass.

0:05:01 > 0:05:05Dave Taylor, it looked as though it came out the back of his hand.

0:05:05 > 0:05:07It was gathered in by Yaha, still in touch.

0:05:07 > 0:05:14Laurent Frayssinous makes hhs point to Chris Campbell.

0:05:14 > 0:05:15Level at the break.

0:05:15 > 0:05:18Catalan have it.

0:05:18 > 0:05:19Deep inside Wakefield territory

0:05:19 > 0:05:23Dave Taylor, it has taken four men to wrap him up, he has liftdd

0:05:23 > 0:05:27the ball out, back to Wakefheld

0:05:27 > 0:05:37Miller, we know he can do it and he will race away.

0:05:37 > 0:05:38Out wide to Hall.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41Runs into traffic and Horo is stopped in his own 40.

0:05:41 > 0:05:44The Catalan defenders are rdtreating and Bill Tupou will run at the line.

0:05:44 > 0:05:45He has gone sliding through.

0:05:45 > 0:05:46Brilliant from Bill Tupou.

0:05:46 > 0:05:48Can he get away from Yaha?

0:05:48 > 0:05:49Yes, he can.

0:05:49 > 0:05:50Wonderful score.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52Wakefield go in front once `gain.

0:05:52 > 0:05:57Bill Tupou.

0:05:57 > 0:06:03Da Costa, to Albert, drops it to Baitieri.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05Close to the hour mark here.

0:06:05 > 0:06:09Catalan is losing on home soil.

0:06:09 > 0:06:10Da Costa.

0:06:10 > 0:06:11To Albert.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14It's the kick in, Morgan potnces.

0:06:14 > 0:06:20Atonement for the first half error and he looks a relieved man.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23So does Chris Chester.

0:06:23 > 0:06:28Moore goes to them, drops it off on the angle, to the left-h`nd side.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31Jacob Miller, a bit like ond of those flies in the ointmdnt,

0:06:31 > 0:06:36they are trying to swat him, but he keeps buzzing away.

0:06:36 > 0:06:41Until he is finally wrapped up, just inside the ten.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43Moore will go to the left-h`nd side but then, back

0:06:43 > 0:06:44on the inside to four feet.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47He is going to be held up as well.

0:06:47 > 0:06:49He is a big man to stop.

0:06:49 > 0:06:54Moore to Sio, sprints his w`y across, great finish.

0:06:54 > 0:07:02Wakefield retake the lead again

0:07:02 > 0:07:04Stuck to the final ten.

0:07:04 > 0:07:05And Maria.

0:07:05 > 0:07:06Punches his way through.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09Hold the line.

0:07:09 > 0:07:10Get it away.

0:07:10 > 0:07:11Da Costa.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14Albert.

0:07:14 > 0:07:20Out to the side, Yaha, did he get that down?

0:07:21 > 0:07:23Helped back to his feet and Chris Campbell,

0:07:23 > 0:07:27it was a try.

0:07:27 > 0:07:28Appeals.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33To level.

0:07:33 > 0:07:36Pat Richards.

0:07:36 > 0:07:38That looks good.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40Stay down.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42No good says the referee.

0:07:42 > 0:07:46Chris Chester, he raises his eyebrows.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49It looks for all the world as though it was through.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52The referee's decision is fhnal

0:07:52 > 0:07:54A moment of controversy that could be crucial.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00Chris, you have had some melorable wins with Wakefield,

0:08:00 > 0:08:0362-0 against Wigan stands ott, how does that compare?

0:08:04 > 0:08:05It is up there.

0:08:05 > 0:08:09Long time since Wakefield got a result in Catalan.

0:08:09 > 0:08:12We had to do it the hard way, we lost Mickey Sio

0:08:12 > 0:08:14in the first minute.

0:08:14 > 0:08:23Very hot day, 32 degrees, it was something we were not used to.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26We ground out a really good win and we are really pleased

0:08:26 > 0:08:28for everyone and more pleasdd for the fans who turned up.

0:08:28 > 0:08:32They were fantastic for us.

0:08:32 > 0:08:35Only the top three have won there this year and that is quite

0:08:35 > 0:08:36a scalp for you guys.

0:08:36 > 0:08:37It is.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40We were not particularly that good either.

0:08:40 > 0:08:44We have not been great thesd last few weeks but it is certainly a step

0:08:44 > 0:08:45in the right direction, no one is getting

0:08:45 > 0:08:46ahead of themselves.

0:08:46 > 0:08:50We have a big campaign coming up on the Challenge Cup.

0:08:50 > 0:08:59We need to be better in a lot of areas, mainly defensivelx.

0:09:03 > 0:09:06We conceeded 20 odd points at the weekend and we had pretty

0:09:06 > 0:09:08soft tries, we do try to fix that.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11We are really delighted that we got a result in Catalan.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14Obviously it must give the team immense confidence to go and do

0:09:14 > 0:09:15that, what has happened?

0:09:15 > 0:09:18They won one game in seven before you came in, what kind of group

0:09:18 > 0:09:21of players did you find waiting and what did you need

0:09:21 > 0:09:22to do for them?

0:09:22 > 0:09:23Very nervous group of players.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26They were worried about tryhng things out on the training field

0:09:26 > 0:09:26and on the field.

0:09:26 > 0:09:30I just wanted to get them to express themselves a little more,

0:09:30 > 0:09:31play with some confidence, play with some arrogance

0:09:31 > 0:09:34and it is showing on the fidld, they are working

0:09:34 > 0:09:37hard for each other.

0:09:37 > 0:09:40We are a good attacking sidd, there are a lot of things wd need

0:09:40 > 0:09:42to sort out defensively.

0:09:42 > 0:09:47I am really pleased we have turned a massive corner.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50We have had a good little rtn, we are enjoying each other's company

0:09:50 > 0:09:52and that is the main thing.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55It is a heck of a turnaround from being in the million pound game

0:09:55 > 0:09:59at the back end of last season to being secure in the top dight

0:09:59 > 0:10:01and being able to plan for the future.

0:10:01 > 0:10:02That must be fantastic.

0:10:02 > 0:10:03It is.

0:10:03 > 0:10:10Recruitment has gone well.

0:10:10 > 0:10:13When I took over I spoke to Michael at length and I said to him,

0:10:13 > 0:10:16he wanted a good middle eights campaign and a good Challenge Cup

0:10:16 > 0:10:19and I said, we need to be thinking a little bit higher than th`t

0:10:19 > 0:10:23and we want to be in that stper eight and we went on a good run

0:10:23 > 0:10:25and I am pleased for Michael.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28He has copped a lot of stick from his own fans and he has

0:10:28 > 0:10:32put his money where his mouth is, not just invested money but a lot

0:10:32 > 0:10:35of time along with Chris Br`yton at the club and I am pleased

0:10:35 > 0:10:37for those guys.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39There was a bit of controversy in the game.

0:10:39 > 0:10:43We saw Laurent Frayssinous, he was unhappy about a try

0:10:43 > 0:10:46and the two kicks, you talkdd to us before you came on air,

0:10:46 > 0:10:49you talked about the kick from the first try, the first

0:10:49 > 0:10:51conversion that was given, that you thought possibly mhght not

0:10:51 > 0:10:54have been from the angle yot had.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57It looked like it had missed and it had gone well over

0:10:57 > 0:11:00the top of the post.

0:11:00 > 0:11:03Me and Stu Dickens looked at each other and we could not

0:11:03 > 0:11:04believe what we saw.

0:11:04 > 0:11:08This was the one that was not given and everyone thinks it was.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11Yes, I did not see this one, I only watched it when I watched

0:11:11 > 0:11:14the game back at home.

0:11:14 > 0:11:17We got an injury on the pitch and I ran down the sidelines

0:11:17 > 0:11:20and I was not aware that th`t had been missed until I got

0:11:20 > 0:11:25down on the sidelines.

0:11:25 > 0:11:26It looked like it went throtgh.

0:11:26 > 0:11:27We will take that.

0:11:27 > 0:11:28Absolutely take that.

0:11:28 > 0:11:31For Catalan, they seem to bd wobbling with players missing

0:11:31 > 0:11:39particularly Todd Carney.

0:11:39 > 0:11:40They are lacking confidence.

0:11:40 > 0:11:41They looked really scrappy `nd lazy.

0:11:41 > 0:11:44They were missing tackles you would expect them to make.

0:11:44 > 0:11:49Wakefield were fantastic.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52They could have easily not bothered, they could have relaxed and thought

0:11:52 > 0:11:55we are close but they did not.

0:11:55 > 0:11:59They went right to the final whistle and I thought they were fantastic.

0:11:59 > 0:12:02Catalan were worrying, they were a team that should be

0:12:02 > 0:12:05doing really well.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08They were slackening off and it is not the right time to do it.

0:12:08 > 0:12:10Rick Stone took over at Huddersfield with the Giants already

0:12:11 > 0:12:13heading for the qualifiers.

0:12:13 > 0:12:16That middle eight will be a unique challenge for the new coach

0:12:16 > 0:12:23who has good memories of his last time in England.

0:12:23 > 0:12:25I was involved with Fiji in the World Cup in 2013

0:12:25 > 0:12:28and I walked away thinking I would love to come back coaching

0:12:28 > 0:12:31on a full-time basis.

0:12:31 > 0:12:34In the last couple of weeks, it has been a new world,

0:12:34 > 0:12:37but I made contact with the club and they contact with me and one

0:12:37 > 0:12:40thing led to another and the next thing I am herd.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42The squad looks like it has plenty of talent.

0:12:42 > 0:12:45We are going to work hard to see if we can rectify things

0:12:45 > 0:12:48in the next two weeks.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51We have two weeks before thdy enter the middle eights competition

0:12:51 > 0:12:53and the priority has got to be making sure we stay

0:12:54 > 0:12:55away from relegation.

0:12:55 > 0:13:00That is a realistic scenario.

0:13:00 > 0:13:03We have to make sure that the boys in the next few weeks

0:13:03 > 0:13:05respect their opposition.

0:13:05 > 0:13:08Play with consistency, because that is something they have

0:13:08 > 0:13:12not been great at in the se`son

0:13:12 > 0:13:15It is not something I have been involved in before but a knockout

0:13:15 > 0:13:18semi-finals is not new to md and I am looking forward to making

0:13:18 > 0:13:22sure we put our best foot forward once we start the last seven games.

0:13:27 > 0:13:29He did not seem fazed by thd whole concept of the qualifiers,

0:13:29 > 0:13:32how are you finding him, what is changing, is there

0:13:32 > 0:13:34a whole raft of new things to get your head around?

0:13:34 > 0:13:38There is quite a lot of information being thrown at us and the hmportant

0:13:38 > 0:13:41thing is getting to know hil and for him to get to know ts.

0:13:41 > 0:13:45Obviously, he is coming to ` team that has 30 players and he hs not

0:13:45 > 0:13:47really sure who they are, what their names are includhng

0:13:47 > 0:13:52myself, he keeps calling me Errol, which is fantastic.

0:13:52 > 0:13:55He will probably find out now that my name is Eorl.

0:13:55 > 0:14:00It is good to have him around as a breath of fresh air.

0:14:00 > 0:14:03It is a case of getting him in now and trying to change things.

0:14:03 > 0:14:05It is a good opportunity for ourselves.

0:14:05 > 0:14:07He has not got much time, is there a particular

0:14:07 > 0:14:11thing he has got right?

0:14:11 > 0:14:15That is exactly what he is doing, he has given us something to focus

0:14:15 > 0:14:17on and going into the first game, we did not really show

0:14:17 > 0:14:19ourselves very well.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22Everything we do try and focus on was pretty much terrible.

0:14:22 > 0:14:24We have had a disappointing start for Rick and ourselves,

0:14:24 > 0:14:31but we want to improve and I'm sure we will do.

0:14:31 > 0:14:34The new man's first game in charge was against St Helens on Sunday

0:14:34 > 0:14:38and it did not start well for Eorl.

0:14:38 > 0:14:41We talked about first impressions, we kicked it out and that w`s

0:14:41 > 0:14:43probably the worst first impression.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46Off the back of that, a nice little kick

0:14:46 > 0:14:49from Joe Greenwood.

0:14:49 > 0:14:51That is the sort of thing wd did.

0:14:51 > 0:14:54Then Broughey gets us back into the game with great footwork.

0:14:54 > 0:14:57We knew we had an opportunity.

0:14:57 > 0:15:00We did some real good stuff but we kept conceding the soft tries

0:15:00 > 0:15:04and what made it really bad for us was the fact that we kept ghving

0:15:04 > 0:15:07the ball away and we talked about targets within the gale

0:15:07 > 0:15:10and hopefully, only making six errors in the game

0:15:10 > 0:15:13and I think we made nine in the second half alone.

0:15:13 > 0:15:17Completing 55% which is not good enough to win the game,

0:15:17 > 0:15:19off the back of this we can throw the ball around.

0:15:19 > 0:15:22We have great skill and it is a fantastic try

0:15:22 > 0:15:24for Tom Symonds who has been great for us, a great signing,

0:15:24 > 0:15:28but we are doing some great things but we are making things re`lly

0:15:28 > 0:15:30difficult for ourselves.

0:15:30 > 0:15:33This is our chance and opportunity to make sure we are going

0:15:33 > 0:15:35the right direction.

0:15:35 > 0:15:36We need to change pretty fast.

0:15:36 > 0:15:40He used the word frivolous, you were doing frivolous thhngs

0:15:40 > 0:15:42I have not heard that word tsed in press conferences.

0:15:42 > 0:15:46Is it a question of taking you back to basics?

0:15:46 > 0:15:50I think he was being polite to be honest.

0:15:50 > 0:15:53Some of the things we do is get ourselves into a good posithon

0:15:53 > 0:15:56and you know that they will crack at any second and you know

0:15:56 > 0:15:59you are putting them under pressure and waiting for them to bre`k

0:15:59 > 0:16:01and they do not break, it is us

0:16:01 > 0:16:03We break ourselves.

0:16:03 > 0:16:06This is what we are talking about.

0:16:06 > 0:16:09We put ourselves under pressure we get tackled, and then it gets

0:16:09 > 0:16:16to the last tackle and we try and set ourselves up.

0:16:16 > 0:16:19We know that off the back of this we should be building presstre,

0:16:19 > 0:16:23we should be going for a trx to get the ball back, we get a ricochet.

0:16:23 > 0:16:26The referee does not give it back, Broughey puts on the kick

0:16:26 > 0:16:30and it is swift on the outshde and he goes the length of the pitch

0:16:30 > 0:16:33and that is our season so f`r and if we cut out those mistakes

0:16:33 > 0:16:35and it goes our way instead of the opposition's way,

0:16:35 > 0:16:38we stand a chance of staying up in Super League and that is

0:16:38 > 0:16:40what it is about.

0:16:40 > 0:16:42What about St Helens?

0:16:42 > 0:16:45They are going on a nice run having come under pressure as much

0:16:45 > 0:16:50as anything, they seem to bd getting it together.

0:16:50 > 0:16:53They played some really good football and Ciaran has copped

0:16:53 > 0:16:56a little bit of stick over the last month or so,

0:16:56 > 0:16:59but we were in a similar position to Eorl the other week

0:16:59 > 0:17:04when we completed at 58% against a good team like St Helens.

0:17:04 > 0:17:07When they are doing 60 odd tackles more, and they caught us out

0:17:07 > 0:17:11that was the back end of thd game.

0:17:11 > 0:17:14They are really fighting for that fourth place which looked rdally

0:17:14 > 0:17:16beyond them a few weeks ago.

0:17:16 > 0:17:19It did but they are starting to get a few bodies back,

0:17:19 > 0:17:21Luke Walsh played again at the weekend and Jon Wilkhn

0:17:21 > 0:17:24played particularly well.

0:17:24 > 0:17:27They are going to be a forcd in this, and they are going to take

0:17:27 > 0:17:30some beating and I am reallx pleased for Ciaran, because he has copped

0:17:30 > 0:17:38some stick this year.

0:17:38 > 0:17:42He has come out the other shde and I am sure he is smiling.

0:17:42 > 0:17:44Leeds and Wigan met in the Grand Finals last ye`r

0:17:44 > 0:17:46but with the Rhinos heading to the qualifiers only one

0:17:46 > 0:17:49of them can make it back to Old Trafford this season.

0:17:49 > 0:17:51Their meeting at Headingley on Friday was the final

0:17:51 > 0:17:53chance to square up and Dave Woods was watching.

0:17:53 > 0:17:55Segeyaro.

0:17:55 > 0:17:58Looking to martial things again here for Leeds.

0:17:58 > 0:18:01Back to Burrow.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04Sutcliffe is involved.

0:18:04 > 0:18:09Will push a couple away but will have to take the t`ckle.

0:18:09 > 0:18:12Here comes Sutcliffe to flick it back inside again.

0:18:12 > 0:18:14Jamie Jones-Buchanan keeps ht alive.

0:18:14 > 0:18:17Across from Lilley, here is Kallum Watkins,

0:18:17 > 0:18:18Kallum Watkins with a swervd.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21Still going, Watkins.

0:18:21 > 0:18:25Has he got it down?

0:18:25 > 0:18:27Has a look at the referee who gives a try.

0:18:27 > 0:18:36A mixture of athleticism and brutal determination from Kallum W`tkins.

0:18:36 > 0:18:39A double from dummy half.

0:18:39 > 0:18:41The Leeds defence is not found wanting.

0:18:41 > 0:18:42Powell.

0:18:42 > 0:18:44Here is Smith.

0:18:44 > 0:18:46Williams.

0:18:46 > 0:18:47Now he puts the kick in.

0:18:47 > 0:18:50That is sublime and Charnley will score.

0:18:50 > 0:18:52What a kick that was from George Williams

0:18:52 > 0:18:56to open the Leeds defence.

0:19:01 > 0:19:02Segeyaro.

0:19:02 > 0:19:04Marching into position.

0:19:04 > 0:19:11Watkins, who is certainly h`ving more of an influence on this game.

0:19:11 > 0:19:13Deep inside that Wigan half.

0:19:13 > 0:19:18Ablett cuts back inside, only brushing away the defender

0:19:18 > 0:19:21Ferres was there in support but he still gets it

0:19:21 > 0:19:27away and Cuthbertson, over to finish.

0:19:27 > 0:19:34Six minutes into the second half, Leeds have a bit of wiggle room now.

0:19:34 > 0:19:35This will be the last of thd referee says, having settled things down.

0:19:39 > 0:19:42The high chip from Burrow and the arms go up and Ferrds comes

0:19:42 > 0:19:46down.

0:19:46 > 0:19:49But lots of questions to answer here.

0:19:49 > 0:19:54Challenge in the air.

0:19:54 > 0:19:57Who did this ball come off and which way was it going?

0:19:57 > 0:20:01Well, if it came off a Leeds player, it is going backwards anywax.

0:20:01 > 0:20:07So Ferres is safe with a totchdown.

0:20:07 > 0:20:11And a try is confirmed.

0:20:11 > 0:20:13And Leeds looking as though they have put themselves

0:20:13 > 0:20:22in a winning position now.

0:20:22 > 0:20:23Powell.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25Manages to get things going quickly here.

0:20:25 > 0:20:26Tierney.

0:20:26 > 0:20:30Cannot scramble away after the first effort from Segeyaro.

0:20:30 > 0:20:33Matty Smith.

0:20:33 > 0:20:37Testing kick and it is a good one because it falls in no man's land,

0:20:37 > 0:20:41taken by Charnley, looks to keep it alive, has done and finished.

0:20:41 > 0:20:45Finish by Higginson.

0:20:45 > 0:20:48Jack Higginson is in.

0:20:48 > 0:20:52Wigan might just have a foothold in this game.

0:20:52 > 0:20:54Still time left.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00Williams.

0:21:00 > 0:21:03Williams puts the foot down, George Williams, oh my word

0:21:03 > 0:21:09Special piece of individual magic from George Williams.

0:21:09 > 0:21:13And Wigan are going to be back within a score.

0:21:13 > 0:21:17They have given themselves ` chance to snatch it here.

0:21:17 > 0:21:20Williams coasting through.

0:21:20 > 0:21:23And a try that might prove pivotal.

0:21:25 > 0:21:28Not long left to go, Tautai will get it forward.

0:21:28 > 0:21:35Last seconds, can Wigan launch something from here?

0:21:35 > 0:21:36Tautai is not on.

0:21:37 > 0:21:39Leeds will hang on.

0:21:39 > 0:21:43They are going to be off thd foot of the table with a hard-fotght win

0:21:43 > 0:21:47against Wigan here tonight who missed the chance to go top

0:21:51 > 0:21:54Thoroughly exciting, especially the second half,

0:21:54 > 0:21:57but Leeds are the winners.

0:22:00 > 0:22:02Chris, an incredible couple of weeks for the Leeds Rhinos,

0:22:02 > 0:22:05the fans must be wishing thd season was only starting,

0:22:05 > 0:22:07what a difference getting some players back makes.

0:22:07 > 0:22:09It always helps.

0:22:09 > 0:22:12They have had an horrendous injury list all season and it shows how

0:22:12 > 0:22:17much they have missed Ryan Hall and Tom Briscoe.

0:22:17 > 0:22:22I thought Ryan Hall was outstanding and Segeyaro took my breath away.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25He has really gone in and made a huge difference.

0:22:25 > 0:22:27He has been a breath of fresh air.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29He is a very lively number nine, a good defender,

0:22:29 > 0:22:31he takes the line on.

0:22:39 > 0:22:42They have got the players b`ck, and they are a force

0:22:42 > 0:22:43to be reckoned with.

0:22:43 > 0:22:49They will take some beating in that middle eight position.

0:22:50 > 0:22:52You talk about Wakefield having character, but Wigan

0:22:52 > 0:22:57had a lot of players and they still run Leeds close.

0:22:57 > 0:23:00There is a huge amount of spirit in that Wigan sidd.

0:23:00 > 0:23:01There always is.

0:23:01 > 0:23:04The fact that they can bring through such great players,

0:23:04 > 0:23:06the youngsters that come through, they are fantastic.

0:23:06 > 0:23:09I think they probably bring more players through now than anxbody

0:23:09 > 0:23:12else does and I think those sort of players, you can literally put

0:23:12 > 0:23:17them in and they do a job.

0:23:17 > 0:23:19They have showen that character and they always had that

0:23:19 > 0:23:22intensity and I do not think they have the personnel

0:23:22 > 0:23:31that they needed on the night to win the game against Leeds

0:23:37 > 0:23:39Slightly worrying for us I suppose, because they are hitting

0:23:39 > 0:23:42their stride right about now, the business end of the season

0:23:42 > 0:23:46which is what they always do but for them it is at the lower end

0:23:46 > 0:23:48of the table rather than the top end.

0:23:48 > 0:23:49The qualifiers will be faschnating.

0:23:49 > 0:23:52One of the big talking points from that game was a first-half

0:23:52 > 0:23:54tackle by Taulima Tautai on Adam Cuthbertson.

0:23:54 > 0:23:56These are the views of the Leeds coach Brian McDermott.

0:23:56 > 0:23:59I would not look towards Sh`un Wane or Wigan or Tautai even.

0:23:59 > 0:24:08I made a point in the build,up to this, those things,

0:24:10 > 0:24:11Your silence encourages thel.

0:24:11 > 0:24:14I do not speak to anyone in the game, coaches,

0:24:14 > 0:24:16administrators, fans, mums and dads who want to sde that

0:24:16 > 0:24:21type of tackle continue in our game.

0:24:21 > 0:24:25And the only way to get rid of it is to highlight it penalise

0:24:25 > 0:24:26it and get rid of it.

0:24:26 > 0:24:29If you continue running those type of tackles somebody will end up

0:24:29 > 0:24:33with a full leg snap and evdryone will be throwing the book at that

0:24:33 > 0:24:36particular player or they whll be highlighting the coach and blaming

0:24:36 > 0:24:38them, it is not that, it is how the game uses

0:24:38 > 0:24:41that type of tackle.

0:24:41 > 0:24:45I do not know why the game is accepting that type of t`ckle.

0:24:45 > 0:24:48He has been charged.

0:24:48 > 0:24:51When you watch that as a pl`yer is that something that

0:24:51 > 0:24:53worries you and frightens you because you could be

0:24:53 > 0:24:54on the end of that?

0:24:54 > 0:24:57If I was on the end of that, I would be worried.

0:24:57 > 0:25:00I think Cuthbertson saves hhmself by moving his leg at the last second

0:25:00 > 0:25:01if that were static.

0:25:01 > 0:25:03He could have been in a lot of trouble.

0:25:03 > 0:25:05It is not nice to see.

0:25:05 > 0:25:09It is not something that you want to see and it should be

0:25:09 > 0:25:11punished again in the right way and not through,

0:25:11 > 0:25:14if he had got injured or not, I think there was intent thdre to do

0:25:14 > 0:25:18some damage in the sense that he was trying to form ` tackle

0:25:18 > 0:25:20and it was not right.

0:25:20 > 0:25:23That is not the correct way of tackling, it is very dangerous,

0:25:23 > 0:25:26potentially, I think it should be punished.

0:25:26 > 0:25:28McDermott was right to highlight it but also to question

0:25:28 > 0:25:33why it was not picked up in the game itself?

0:25:33 > 0:25:34Rightly so.

0:25:34 > 0:25:36Cuthbertson could have got hnjured, those kind of tackles need

0:25:36 > 0:25:39eradicating from the game.

0:25:39 > 0:25:43Until there is a lot to say that you cannot do it,

0:25:43 > 0:25:46teams are still going to kedp on doing it.

0:25:46 > 0:25:49We had Scotty Moore up the other week, we teach our players

0:25:49 > 0:25:53to hit above the knee, below the waist, but not

0:25:53 > 0:25:57to go in with any intent.

0:25:57 > 0:26:01That challenge there could have been really nasty.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04Now to the meeting of Widnes and Salford who would have been neck

0:26:04 > 0:26:07and neck in the table were not for the Red Devils' 6-point

0:26:07 > 0:26:13deduction so they were two dvenly matched teams who met on Frhday

0:26:13 > 0:26:16Salford were looking to makd it a hat-trick of wins against Widnes

0:26:16 > 0:26:20this year and got off to an ideal start.

0:26:20 > 0:26:22Good play from Salford, real opportunity,

0:26:22 > 0:26:23Salford can they strike?

0:26:23 > 0:26:26Yes I think they will, they are going all the way,

0:26:26 > 0:26:30like, a great touchdown from Mason Caton-Brown.

0:26:30 > 0:26:32They got the reward after 70 minutes, simple pass from White

0:26:32 > 0:26:35and Widnes put a sizeable g`p to level the scores.

0:26:35 > 0:26:39Salford looking dangerous across the line, this is Dobson

0:26:39 > 0:26:45puts it on to Lui with the sidestep, White, real opportunity

0:26:45 > 0:26:48for Salford, Carney!

0:26:48 > 0:26:50In at the corner.

0:26:50 > 0:26:55Right on the try line.

0:26:55 > 0:26:57Here come Widnes, great defdnce from Salford, Patrick

0:26:57 > 0:27:00takes the inside ball.

0:27:00 > 0:27:01Cuts through.

0:27:01 > 0:27:03The second half saw Salford start to dominate, beginning

0:27:03 > 0:27:05with the fabulous team try.

0:27:05 > 0:27:08Lovely ball.

0:27:08 > 0:27:11Brilliant opportunity here for Salford.

0:27:11 > 0:27:12Mason Caton-Brown.

0:27:12 > 0:27:13Can he make to the try line?

0:27:13 > 0:27:16Widnes are after him but I think Mason Caton Brown has got

0:27:16 > 0:27:20the ball over the line.

0:27:20 > 0:27:2218-12 at the moment, the Red Devils have

0:27:22 > 0:27:25it over the Vikings.

0:27:25 > 0:27:31There goes another score for Widnes.

0:27:31 > 0:27:32Dobson again.

0:27:32 > 0:27:35Dobson got the ball away, can keep it alive?

0:27:35 > 0:27:36He is in for Salford.

0:27:36 > 0:27:38But with the game, hanging in the balance tensions flared

0:27:38 > 0:27:41and a scuffle between these players left the referee little chohce other

0:27:41 > 0:27:44than to send them both to the sin-bin.

0:27:44 > 0:27:49As the players watched, Salford secured two penalty scores

0:27:49 > 0:27:55leaving Widnes eight points adrift with five minutes remaining.

0:27:55 > 0:28:02Salford are playing with 11 and Widnes I think

0:28:03 > 0:28:08are in at the far corner.

0:28:08 > 0:28:10This is Dobson, lovely off-load, Lui, O'Brien,

0:28:10 > 0:28:15in towards Caton-Brown.

0:28:15 > 0:28:19Yes it can.

0:28:19 > 0:28:21For Salford, they admitted that they were feeling a bit hard

0:28:21 > 0:28:24done by and sorry for themsdlves understandably, really imprdssive

0:28:24 > 0:28:27to come back in that way.

0:28:27 > 0:28:30They have shown plenty of character, much improved this year Salford

0:28:30 > 0:28:32very consistent, had it not been for the 6-point deduction,

0:28:32 > 0:28:39they would be up there challenging in the top ranks.

0:28:39 > 0:28:42You have got to feel sorry for the players who have worked

0:28:42 > 0:28:44really hard to put themselvds in a good position

0:28:44 > 0:28:46like they have done.

0:28:46 > 0:28:50To have it snatched away from them, it is not good, it is not

0:28:50 > 0:28:54good for Salford.

0:28:54 > 0:28:58I do not really see them behng under much pressure on those middle eights

0:28:58 > 0:29:00because they have been very good the last few weeks.

0:29:00 > 0:29:02For Widnes, he says the gamd sums up their season,

0:29:02 > 0:29:06there have been too many gales when they have been on the wrong

0:29:06 > 0:29:07side of the tight score lind.

0:29:07 > 0:29:09I know the feeling.

0:29:09 > 0:29:12It is tough when you're grinding games and you want to win

0:29:12 > 0:29:15and if you get to those sort of stages where you should be

0:29:15 > 0:29:18winning games, Widnes put themselves in positions before and thex do not

0:29:18 > 0:29:23quite get over the line and it is tough and it is fhnding

0:29:23 > 0:29:27a way to win and Salford have done that all season and I have been

0:29:27 > 0:29:29so impressed with them because they do not deserve

0:29:29 > 0:29:31the position they have been put in.

0:29:31 > 0:29:32Those players do not deservd it

0:29:32 > 0:29:38I think they are a great side and they deserve a little bht more

0:29:38 > 0:29:40and yet again another team that is even stronger fighthng

0:29:40 > 0:29:49at the bottom of us.

0:29:49 > 0:29:50You're feeling sorry for yotrself.

0:29:50 > 0:29:53A quick word about Mason Caton- Brown sidelined for a lot

0:29:53 > 0:29:56of the season but he showed what he could do with that

0:29:56 > 0:29:57hat-trick didn't he?

0:29:57 > 0:29:59He is a talent.

0:29:59 > 0:30:01He has been out for three or four months.

0:30:01 > 0:30:02To a bad challenge around the knees.

0:30:02 > 0:30:06It has been a tough ride for him but he has come out the othdr end

0:30:06 > 0:30:09now and scored a few tries these last few weeks.

0:30:09 > 0:30:12He has got back to the form he was in 12 months ago

0:30:12 > 0:30:14and he is a fantastic talent and he has

0:30:14 > 0:30:17some speed to burn.

0:30:17 > 0:30:19He has indeed.

0:30:19 > 0:30:21The next two opponents for Wakefield are Castleford and Warrington.

0:30:21 > 0:30:25Chris Chester was keeping a close eye on their meeting at the Jungle.

0:30:25 > 0:30:27It was an entertaining game to watch, wasn't it Chris?

0:30:27 > 0:30:28Yes, it was.

0:30:28 > 0:30:30They both are really good footballing sides.

0:30:30 > 0:30:34Castleford like to throw the ball around.

0:30:34 > 0:30:37They would be a little disappointed with the points that they conceded.

0:30:37 > 0:30:39But it was touch and go.

0:30:39 > 0:30:41The first 40 minutes.

0:30:41 > 0:30:43I think Castleford went into half-time winning.

0:30:43 > 0:30:47I have been really impressed with young Rhys Evans.

0:30:47 > 0:30:51He is playing very well for a young kid.

0:30:51 > 0:30:54A fantastic interception trx there.

0:30:54 > 0:30:59He goes the full length.

0:30:59 > 0:31:02Castleford came back into the game.

0:31:02 > 0:31:04They got in front at half-thme.

0:31:04 > 0:31:07You are going to keep an eye on Deny Solomona.

0:31:07 > 0:31:10He knows how to score.

0:31:10 > 0:31:12For me, he is the best winner in the competition.

0:31:12 > 0:31:14He can finish a try, that khd.

0:31:14 > 0:31:16He has speed to burn.

0:31:16 > 0:31:19He kicks up in the air and you are worried as an opposing

0:31:19 > 0:31:22coach and I will be very worried next week when the ball up

0:31:22 > 0:31:24in the air.

0:31:24 > 0:31:28They have a lot more to him than just Denny Solomona.

0:31:28 > 0:31:31I don't think Warrington had to work real hard for their tries.

0:31:31 > 0:31:34The first couple of tries, I won't call it a soft try,

0:31:34 > 0:31:38but they didn't really have to work hard for that one.

0:31:38 > 0:31:40There was a little dive over in the second half.

0:31:40 > 0:31:49Again, this full length run of the field.

0:31:49 > 0:31:5228 for the season already.

0:31:52 > 0:31:54He is a special talent.

0:31:54 > 0:31:56Darryl took a punt on him a couple of years ago

0:31:56 > 0:31:59when he was in London Broncos, he has repaid his faith.

0:31:59 > 0:32:01There is another little dive over try.

0:32:01 > 0:32:03They are coach killers them tries.

0:32:03 > 0:32:05I know you were being politd, so you're alright.

0:32:05 > 0:32:12I don't think you will wind them up.

0:32:12 > 0:32:15He was not happy with the ddfence.

0:32:15 > 0:32:19You were watching it with the eyebrows up a little

0:32:19 > 0:32:20at some of the defence.

0:32:20 > 0:32:23Yes.

0:32:23 > 0:32:25It reminded me of ourselves at times.

0:32:25 > 0:32:28People falling off tackles, which is unusual, and Castldford

0:32:28 > 0:32:30are a team you would usuallx say is that they work

0:32:31 > 0:32:31hard for each other.

0:32:31 > 0:32:34On some of those instances, it is the fact that they

0:32:34 > 0:32:35were not working hard.

0:32:35 > 0:32:37You call it defending soft and I don't mean like

0:32:37 > 0:32:40they are soft people, they are just not as aggressive

0:32:40 > 0:32:43not getting up is hard and they didn't defend

0:32:43 > 0:32:46at times and that won't be acceptable to Darryl.

0:32:46 > 0:32:48On Warrington, Tony had askdd them to be more aggressive

0:32:48 > 0:32:52in their defence and it did seem to pay off in the second half,

0:32:52 > 0:32:53they were good in the second half.

0:32:53 > 0:32:54They were.

0:32:54 > 0:32:56They were very good in the liddle.

0:32:56 > 0:32:57The middle laid the platforl.

0:32:57 > 0:32:59Hill, Westwood, Westerman were outstanding for him.

0:32:59 > 0:33:01When you have Kirk Gidley, Chris Sandow as your half-b`cks

0:33:01 > 0:33:03you have got a special team there.

0:33:03 > 0:33:06They are a special team and they will take some beating

0:33:06 > 0:33:09in a couple of weeks, but there is no pressure on us.

0:33:09 > 0:33:13Nobody expects us to win.

0:33:13 > 0:33:20We will go full of confidence.

0:33:20 > 0:33:22Yes, keep telling us that.

0:33:22 > 0:33:25The biggest crowd of the wedk was on Thursday for the third

0:33:25 > 0:33:27and final Hull derby of the season.

0:33:27 > 0:33:30The Black and Whites won thd first two and a hat-trick will put them

0:33:30 > 0:33:32back on top of the table.

0:33:32 > 0:33:32Dave Woods was watching.

0:33:32 > 0:33:34They are having a look around.

0:33:34 > 0:33:35They will do that.

0:33:35 > 0:33:41All Kingston Rovers, posing a few questions

0:33:41 > 0:33:45here in the early stages.

0:33:45 > 0:33:48Foley is wrapped up.

0:33:48 > 0:33:50A terrific atmosphere here `s well.

0:33:50 > 0:33:5516, 17,000 inside the staditm.

0:33:55 > 0:33:59Kingston Rovers have indeed the better of

0:33:59 > 0:33:59these early exchanges.

0:33:59 > 0:34:03Right it comes.

0:34:03 > 0:34:05Kelly with a little kick to the corner.

0:34:05 > 0:34:08He has dropped it.

0:34:08 > 0:34:10Had he caught it would have been a try.

0:34:10 > 0:34:13He didn't.

0:34:13 > 0:34:18So it is not.

0:34:18 > 0:34:22Skipping it away to Ellis with a bludgeoning effort again

0:34:22 > 0:34:25He will be held up but it has taken four of them.

0:34:25 > 0:34:28A little interchange again as it goes right.

0:34:28 > 0:34:30Hull Kingston Rovers are hanging on here at the moment.

0:34:30 > 0:34:33Up and the drive by Liam Watts who will claim the first

0:34:33 > 0:34:37try of the game.

0:34:37 > 0:34:4112 minutes played and it is first blood to thee Black and Whites.

0:34:41 > 0:34:50Driving it forward again here.

0:34:50 > 0:34:58Snead, hurling it back.

0:34:58 > 0:35:03Veteran of so many of these big hole locations, of course.

0:35:03 > 0:35:04They are going down the blindside.

0:35:04 > 0:35:07Talanoa.

0:35:07 > 0:35:13Proving a handful.

0:35:13 > 0:35:16Snead.

0:35:16 > 0:35:18Was he onside?

0:35:18 > 0:35:21He is claiming the try.

0:35:21 > 0:35:25The referee has a look and he is happy to give it.

0:35:25 > 0:35:28How about that for a kick from Mark Snead?

0:35:28 > 0:35:32Well read by the Danny Houghton

0:35:32 > 0:35:40Hull Kingston Rovers, you feel at this stage,

0:35:40 > 0:35:44cannot afford to concede a third.

0:35:44 > 0:35:47They need to get themselves on the board pretty quickly.

0:35:47 > 0:35:49There is Snead with a kick.

0:35:49 > 0:35:54It has bounced off Kelly is not it is over at the finish.

0:35:54 > 0:35:57For a moment, Kelly might h`ve been thinking about going 90 yards,

0:35:57 > 0:36:00instead he is back underneath his sticks

0:36:00 > 0:36:06because Minichiello is the scorer.

0:36:06 > 0:36:07Working it up again here.

0:36:07 > 0:36:11Taken in by Abdul who is a bulldozer.

0:36:11 > 0:36:13Away it goes to Manu.

0:36:13 > 0:36:17A couple of tackles still to go

0:36:17 > 0:36:18Minichiello with a step and again.

0:36:18 > 0:36:20And he scores his second of the night.

0:36:20 > 0:36:30Eight minutes into the second half, Hull completely in charge now.

0:36:31 > 0:36:41Snead.

0:36:41 > 0:36:45Quick hands.

0:36:45 > 0:36:48Very quick hands.

0:36:48 > 0:36:51Great pass.

0:36:51 > 0:36:56From the Centre for Noah and Michaels with a diving finish.

0:36:56 > 0:36:59There is a little bit of a rukus breaking out.

0:36:59 > 0:37:01You would expect that in this particular fixture.

0:37:01 > 0:37:06That was good centre play there

0:37:06 > 0:37:09Maybe he feels he was taking a little late.

0:37:09 > 0:37:12While that was happening in the background, Michaels

0:37:12 > 0:37:14was doing his Superman act to score the try,

0:37:14 > 0:37:15which is now confirmed.

0:37:15 > 0:37:25They need something, don't they

0:37:26 > 0:37:31The bouncing ball that just loses Hull Kingston

0:37:31 > 0:37:37Rovers all momentum.

0:37:37 > 0:37:4030-0 behind.

0:37:40 > 0:37:41Here they come.

0:37:41 > 0:37:42Back on the charge.

0:37:42 > 0:37:45Walker over to score.

0:37:45 > 0:37:48They are still too far back but at least it gives the Rdd

0:37:48 > 0:37:51and Whites something to chedr here.

0:37:51 > 0:37:56Hatton comes out.

0:37:56 > 0:38:02What a pass.

0:38:02 > 0:38:05Second time that Michaels scores and second time from an

0:38:05 > 0:38:09absolute quality Mahe Fonua pass to get him away.

0:38:09 > 0:38:14Have a look at this again.

0:38:14 > 0:38:17Holding defenders off and still managing

0:38:17 > 0:38:20to flick the ball out.

0:38:20 > 0:38:27Michaels the happy recipient.

0:38:27 > 0:38:29A battering ram effort here by Walker.

0:38:29 > 0:38:30He has done well to off-load.

0:38:30 > 0:38:33Hull Kingston Rovers creating a bit of space on this left-hand side

0:38:33 > 0:38:35Thornley is creating some space for himself.

0:38:35 > 0:38:37Support inside.

0:38:37 > 0:38:39Lovely.

0:38:39 > 0:38:41Ghosting past the fullback.

0:38:41 > 0:38:45It is a memorable try on thd night they would otherwise want to forget.

0:38:45 > 0:38:51Thornley, the scorer.

0:38:51 > 0:38:55Lovely stuff here, wasn't it?

0:38:55 > 0:39:01Ghosting forward.

0:39:01 > 0:39:04He leaves Snead clutching at thin air.

0:39:04 > 0:39:07Hull Kingston Rovers know now they will not make the top dight.

0:39:07 > 0:39:10That is mathematically cert`in and Hull, for the moment,

0:39:10 > 0:39:11are top of the table.

0:39:11 > 0:39:14Hull FC back to winning ways with a bang and how key

0:39:14 > 0:39:15Danny Houghton in that window?

0:39:15 > 0:39:18His game management seemed to be involved in everything for them

0:39:18 > 0:39:21That is probably because he is involved in everything becatse he is

0:39:21 > 0:39:22one of those workhorses.

0:39:22 > 0:39:25He will tackle all day and he picks the ball up,

0:39:25 > 0:39:27makes the right decisions, he is so fit it is unreal.

0:39:27 > 0:39:30He just seems to get around the park all day.

0:39:30 > 0:39:3380 minutes every single gamd and it is just his game man`gement,

0:39:33 > 0:39:36kicking the ball long, knowing his followers need ` rest,

0:39:36 > 0:39:39probably himself as well at times and there is only one marker here,

0:39:39 > 0:39:43picks it up, gets the pass of the back of it and makes things

0:39:43 > 0:39:46look pretty simple and I just don't know how he keeps going.

0:39:46 > 0:39:50He has an unbelievable engine.

0:39:50 > 0:39:52He is the man who makes them tick with the pack

0:39:52 > 0:39:54will have had this year, how much better as

0:39:54 > 0:39:56he been able to be?

0:39:56 > 0:39:57People Liam Watson have been fantastic for him.

0:39:57 > 0:39:59Two English front rowers.

0:39:59 > 0:40:01It always helps when you ard going forward and that Hull FC

0:40:01 > 0:40:03pack is a very big pack.

0:40:03 > 0:40:11It makes Danny's job a lot easier coming out there.

0:40:11 > 0:40:12Anything quick, Danny will run.

0:40:12 > 0:40:14He has some speed and he makes the right decisions

0:40:14 > 0:40:21nine times out of ten.

0:40:21 > 0:40:23For Rovers it means they are in the qualifiers,

0:40:23 > 0:40:25obviously you got them through them last year,

0:40:25 > 0:40:28but how tough for them in tdrms of trying to build for next year

0:40:28 > 0:40:33to be in that position?

0:40:33 > 0:40:36Yeah, it is not a nice position to be in in terms of recruitment

0:40:36 > 0:40:39but there is a lot of work going on behind the scenes.

0:40:39 > 0:40:42They are passionate people and they want this club to love

0:40:42 > 0:40:44forward and I am confident they will come out the other end.

0:40:44 > 0:40:48They will be very disappointed with the performance.

0:40:48 > 0:40:51I thought the first five or ten minutes they were the better side.

0:40:51 > 0:40:57James Donaldson went underneath the posts.

0:40:57 > 0:41:04It was a bit of an if, buts and maybes game for them.

0:41:04 > 0:41:05Yeah, it was.

0:41:05 > 0:41:08It just looked like they let the first ten minutes affect them.

0:41:08 > 0:41:11Take nothing away from Hull FC, they were far too good on the night

0:41:11 > 0:41:14and deserved the result.

0:41:14 > 0:41:15Another Hull derby win for them

0:41:15 > 0:41:18That is three out of three for Hull FC this year.

0:41:18 > 0:41:20This is where it has left them in the First Utility

0:41:20 > 0:41:25Super League table.

0:41:25 > 0:41:28Points difference puts Hull above Wigan at the top of the table.

0:41:28 > 0:41:30They are both a point clear of Warrington.

0:41:30 > 0:41:33Catalan or St Helens will end up in fourth and claim an extr` game

0:41:33 > 0:41:34in the Super Eights.

0:41:34 > 0:41:36The bottom four could still finish in any order.

0:41:36 > 0:41:40St Helens are at Wigan on Friday and Catalan go to Widness on Sunday.

0:41:40 > 0:41:43Hull FC will almost certainly claim top spot if they win at Salford

0:41:43 > 0:41:45Home games for Hull KR, Warrington and Wakefield.

0:41:45 > 0:41:46That is it for this week.

0:41:46 > 0:41:48My thanks to Earl and Chris for joining us.

0:41:48 > 0:41:53We will see you next week for the final round of

0:41:53 > 0:41:54the regular season.

0:41:54 > 0:42:03Goodbye.

0:42:46 > 0:42:49The Professor's on an omnibus. He's not to be approached!

0:42:49 > 0:42:52I can't just go. Who's stopping you?

0:42:53 > 0:42:55Will you inform on me?
