:06:32. > :06:39.Webster. Looking to drive it forward. Webster keeps it alive It
:06:40. > :06:43.forward. Webster keeps it alive. It is collected, according to the Hull
:06:44. > :06:48.fans but he is allowed to play on but they are in a very decent
:06:49. > :06:59.condition here, and it is a penalty, it is a penalty. Second grasp at the
:07:00. > :07:03.ankle by Liam Watts. A little bit of a flurry at the end, the referee
:07:04. > :07:14.decides commonly Gayle to make it all square. 24-24 and we ard into

:07:29. > :07:32.give his side the lead. It hs only a give his side the lead. It hs only a
:07:33. > :07:34.matter of seconds remaining. Chris Gayle just hammers it downfheld
:07:35. > :07:39.This will be on the last play, can This will be on the last play, can
:07:40. > :07:44.Hull find a miracle finish here, they have got to get to the other
:07:45. > :07:45.end of the field, seconds are running away, they are desperately
:07:46. > :07:51.running away, they are despdrately keeping the ball alive. And he is in
:07:52. > :08:00.for the hat-trick and that confirms the Castleford win. Sixth try of the
:08:01. > :08:09.season already, and it is five points from six for Castleford. What
:08:10. > :08:12.a moment. You didn't need to be a big lip reader to see the wow there,
:08:13. > :08:14.how impressive were they? Vdry, big lip reader to see the wow there,
:08:15. > :08:18.how impressive were they? Very, very how impressive were they? Vdry, very
:08:19. > :08:24.impressive. The Hull FC fans were not too happy in the box, I thought
:08:25. > :08:32.they would come back and do them but credit, it was outstanding, and what
:08:33. > :08:38.a finisher. How big a setback for Hull FC who have been going really
:08:39. > :08:42.well? There are a lot of people talking about the start of the
:08:43. > :08:48.season and contenders. I thought that was the first big challenge at
:08:49. > :08:51.home as well. They have properly not played as well as what they thought
:08:52. > :08:56.they should have done. They will be disappointed I think, it is
:08:57. > :08:59.defensively for me, where they need to improve because they are never
:09:00. > :09:01.going to have any problems scoring tries with the players they have
:09:02. > :09:08.got, it is at least they the got, it is at least they thd
:09:09. > :09:12.opposition from scoring the points. Lee Radford talked afterwards that
:09:13. > :09:13.he was disappointed that his team panicked, could you hear the
:09:14. > :09:13.he was disappointed that his team panicked, could you hear thd panic
:09:14. > :09:19.in the stadium? There were a few in the stadium? There were ` few
:09:20. > :09:20.crucial moments that added to that, I think having that time they would
:09:21. > :09:27.I think having that time thdy would have done different things. They
:09:28. > :09:29.gave away a penalty. Try scoring opportunity. Then Leon Prycd, I
:09:30. > :09:33.think if he had his time again. opportunity. Then Leon Pryce, I
:09:34. > :09:37.think if he had his time ag`in. Is think if he had his time ag`in. Is
:09:38. > :09:42.that what they need, to go to the next level, that composure? I
:09:43. > :09:44.slightly disagree on this one from Leon Pryce, Hamlet Times have we
:09:45. > :09:48.seen him do that. I date th`t is the seen him do that. I date th`t is the
:09:49. > :09:51.issue. I think there are other crucial points, there is colposure.
:09:52. > :09:55.Two points, seven or eight minutes Two points, seven or eight linutes
:09:56. > :10:00.to go, he have got to be able to kill the game is off at homd. What
:10:01. > :10:06.about the game management of the Gale, he did keep his head, he said
:10:07. > :10:12.he thinks he's rubbish at drop goals. How do you think his overall
:10:13. > :10:14.game management was? I think he was great, in the second half to find
:10:15. > :10:19.his team back into the competition his team back into the competition
:10:20. > :10:25.to score a try, it is exactly what you want. And him obviously wanting
:10:26. > :10:28.to push for that England's squat, pushing it up? Definitely, Wayne
:10:29. > :10:32.Bennett, being appointed behng this Bennett, being appointed behng this
:10:33. > :10:36.coach. They have found an opportunity to get into that side,
:10:37. > :10:39.and it is deaf and you want to put his hand up. Widnes have been
:10:40. > :10:41.and it is deaf and you want to put his hand up. Widnes have bedn among
:10:42. > :10:48.the Super League pacesetters. The Vikings got off to a flying start.
:10:49. > :10:51.They have been in superb form, particularly with the man in hand.
:10:52. > :10:55.When he has taken the ball in line. They have got a lot of options. Joe
:10:56. > :10:57.Mellor playing exceptionally well. Mellor playing exceptionallx well.
:10:58. > :11:02.Chris Briggs, adding an attacking Chris Briggs, adding an attacking
:11:03. > :11:04.dimension. They have got lots of options. Look at this pass from
:11:05. > :11:08.Kevin Brown, absolutely top-class, Kevin Brown, absolutely top-class,
:11:09. > :11:15.that is understandable that times, when he's playing like that, witness
:11:16. > :11:17.would be extremely dangerous. And his coach, talking about
:11:18. > :11:24.international half-backs. Edge hundred percent, the way thdy have
:11:25. > :11:27.started the year. You think about Widnes, playing on Friday night,
:11:28. > :11:31.started the year. You think about Widnes, playing on Friday nhght a
:11:32. > :11:36.lot of video. One, nine, six and seven. In the competitions, that is
:11:37. > :11:40.why they are playing so well. Harder seals are absolutely batterdd by
:11:41. > :11:46.injuries, it makes it very, very difficult? It does, about the core
:11:47. > :11:49.of the team. And Huddersfield to not have that at the moment, thdy have
:11:50. > :11:53.have that at the moment, they have lost Ellis, and Danny Brough. To
:11:54. > :11:57.name but a few. The biggest thing they have struggled with is when a
:11:58. > :12:02.have got lots of kids, that is consistency. It is the same team
:12:03. > :12:07.against Wigan, competing. You get that when you have got young kids.
:12:08. > :12:11.You just see the attacking of Widnes. It is this area of the
:12:12. > :12:21.field, the defensive side come away you have got young kids in there.
:12:22. > :12:24.They make decisions on the ddge The jumping when perhaps they should not
:12:25. > :12:25.do. They have got to keep on working and hope that the senior pl`yers
:12:26. > :12:26.come back. And he needs their and hope that the senior players
:12:27. > :12:29.come back. And he needs thehr big troops back. For Widnes,
:12:30. > :12:31.highlighting that they win `way from highlighting that they win away from
:12:32. > :12:35.home again, we have talked `bout how home again, we have talked `bout how
:12:36. > :12:40.good they are and they are winning on grass and away from home? That is
:12:41. > :12:42.a big thing from the Super League competition, Widnes are at the top
:12:43. > :12:45.of the table because they ilprove of the table because they improve
:12:46. > :12:51.their away form. They are always a hard team to deal with. I know it is
:12:52. > :12:58.going to be a hard task for us. We have to do our best. Lots to debate
:12:59. > :12:59.this week, most notably the aftermath of the World Cup series,
:13:00. > :13:02.the home teams will once ag`in aftermath of the World Cup series,
:13:03. > :13:08.the home teams will once ag`in - were once again trounced by the best
:13:09. > :13:10.of the NRL. So how can Super League catch up? That was a big qudstion.
:13:11. > :13:16.Is there is a clear appetite for
:13:17. > :13:31.international club competition there is a clear appetite for
:13:32. > :13:34.international club competithon and wanting to see the best of the Super
:13:35. > :13:36.League against the NRL but I wanting to see the best of the Super
:13:37. > :13:38.League against the NRL but H think League against the NRL but I think
:13:39. > :13:45.the 240 minutes of rugby was quite painful for everybody. Now we now
:13:46. > :13:50.understand what the best of the NRL is like and now we need to see how
:13:51. > :13:53.we can get them beat. In five years or ten years to make sure that not
:13:54. > :13:57.only do we start beating them but consistently. It is going to be
:13:58. > :14:01.almost impossible to bridge the salary gap which is almost twice
:14:02. > :14:06.over here. What can you do to add a bit upset to get bigger? We have
:14:07. > :14:10.introduced the marquee player rule last year, it will be interdsting to
:14:11. > :14:15.see what the club oz feedback is on that when we sit down with them next
:14:16. > :14:19.week. I think that where we have got some opportunities and potential, is
:14:20. > :14:23.around player production, and making sure that we can produce more and
:14:24. > :14:27.better British and French athletes into our Super League competition.
:14:28. > :14:33.That is really the only sustainable way, that we can compete with clubs
:14:34. > :14:39.in the world club series. At some point, the salary cap in this
:14:40. > :14:43.country will have to go up because we are losing players to other
:14:44. > :14:47.sports and Australia because there is more money. In terms of retaining
:14:48. > :14:53.those players who become role models, how can you raise the salary
:14:54. > :14:56.cap? The idea for the marqude player rule was that. Just the increase in
:14:57. > :15:00.the salary cap was not going to achieve what we needed to, but it
:15:01. > :15:02.was about giving clubs the opportunity to retain, recrtit or
:15:03. > :15:08.develop, the most elite playing develop, the most elite plaxing
:15:09. > :15:12.talent. It is one player. Perhaps the option is, once we have seen how
:15:13. > :15:16.the dust settles, we have two marquee players. Does a blanket
:15:17. > :15:19.salary cap increase actuallx help. salary cap increase actually help.
:15:20. > :15:23.It is great to have Sam Tomkins he is injured at the moment, that is
:15:24. > :15:28.the sort of player that we need to be attracting more retaining, not an
:15:29. > :15:33.increase in the cap that allows us to compete, four players in the NRL
:15:34. > :15:34.who do not have clubs. If you're going to excuse the set of leasures
:15:35. > :15:39.going to excuse the set of measures it will be to improve the club's
:15:40. > :15:43.ability to retain recruit. We cannot give you a big pot of money but what
:15:44. > :15:49.would you try and do to bridge the gap? I think minimum wage is one way
:15:50. > :15:54.to start outside of your top ten players, the salary is not too good.
:15:55. > :15:56.We see a lot of players moving over to the championship, a lot lore
:15:57. > :16:03.to the championship, a lot more players. The best example I have
:16:04. > :16:07.got, Chris was outstanding for us, he should be in the Bradford Bulls
:16:08. > :16:10.pushing for the Super Leagud and making the competition a bit harder
:16:11. > :16:13.to play each and every week. What about you, what would July to see
:16:14. > :16:17.happen? Pin I think the structure if happen? Pin I think the strtcture if
:16:18. > :16:22.I'm honest, too many players in the squads, that are not playing. You
:16:23. > :16:25.have got the starting 17, the starting team and then the guys
:16:26. > :16:29.underneath there is nowhere for them to play. If you are a young
:16:30. > :16:39.half-backs wanting to play. You don't need a half-backs because you
:16:40. > :16:42.don't need a half-backs bec`use you have got one. You end up, for Ford's
:16:43. > :16:45.five weeks without playing. 19 is, they are a bit too young to step
:16:46. > :16:46.into the first team. We need to think about the reserve team,
:16:47. > :16:47.think about the reserve teal, bringing them in so that you can
:16:48. > :16:49.bringing them in so that yot can improve your pool. 30 or 40 or 50
:16:50. > :16:53.improve your pool. 30 or 40 or 0 players that potentially for the
:16:54. > :16:56.first team, we haven't got that There was obviously, a lot of
:16:57. > :17:01.wailing and gnashing of teeth but ultimately we do not have the money
:17:02. > :17:04.that they have got down in Australia, is there a danger that
:17:05. > :17:10.people overreact and ruin Super League over here? I think when it
:17:11. > :17:15.comes to those three games, if you look at NRL, they have got three or
:17:16. > :17:20.four top players. If you look at the Super League clubs, missing four of
:17:21. > :17:24.their best players. It is an unfair situation. Into the games anyway. I
:17:25. > :17:30.think everybody did overreact, I'm sure that the Super League team from
:17:31. > :17:31.last year, will have a Queens land issue. Is it something that maybe we
:17:32. > :17:33.needed to make us think about what needed to make us think about what
:17:34. > :17:38.we have got? Possibly, I thhnk we have got? Possibly, I thhnk
:17:39. > :17:40.Australia didn't have a Test series at the end of last year. Their
:17:41. > :17:42.Australia didn't have a Test series at the end of last year. Thdir best
:17:43. > :17:44.players have had a full pre-season, they are sharp and they comd
:17:45. > :17:47.players have had a full pre,season, they are sharp and they come in to
:17:48. > :17:49.the season fresh and ready. There is a lot of our players that have
:17:50. > :17:53.a lot of our players that h`ve played internationals, are not
:17:54. > :17:56.anywhere near, some of them are injured, some of them have only been
:17:57. > :18:03.back pre-season since the start of January. Yes, I don't think it is as
:18:04. > :18:08.big as what we have seen. You have played in both competitions, is the
:18:09. > :18:10.Gulf as big as it looked? I think it is just depth, in the NRL, if you
:18:11. > :18:15.is just depth, in the NRL, hf you have any injuries you just have
:18:16. > :18:18.young kids pushing for spots. There is a reserve grade, and 20s, you
:18:19. > :18:23.have got 60 players to pick from every week. Over here in England, we
:18:24. > :18:27.have got 25 players in the squad. You get players injured and the
:18:28. > :18:30.young kids coming in a bit too early. That is where we are seeing a
:18:31. > :18:32.big difference. Certainly much early. That is where we are seeing a

:20:23. > :20:28.looking for a response here. Down the short side. Down the right, as
:20:29. > :20:32.he got the pace, he has got support infield, and Liam Sutcliffe goes
:20:33. > :20:38.straight to the line. And the Rhinos, biting back. It has worked

:21:04. > :21:09.will not go away. Into the hands of Lily. Sutcliffe, he is going to be
:21:10. > :21:11.chased to the corner. And Leeds chased to the corner. And Ldeds
:21:12. > :21:16.Rhinos, keep up the fight. And chased to the corner. And Leeds
:21:17. > :21:21.Rhinos, keep up the fight. And that penalty goal from Pat Richards could

:21:28. > :21:31.all the step? Answers, can he get to the line, setting up for a dramatic
:21:32. > :21:35.finale. It is Kallum Watkins but it might not be enough for the Rhinos.
:21:36. > :21:37.It has not gone well for thd might not be enough for the Rhinos.
:21:38. > :21:39.It has not gone well for the Rhinos It has not gone well for thd Rhinos
:21:40. > :21:44.but did you see enough in the game to think it was purely down to
:21:45. > :21:46.injuries? There is no better side than seeing what you saw. Kallum
:21:47. > :21:51.than seeing what you saw. K`llum Watkins scoring 60 was 70 metre
:21:52. > :21:55.tries. We know they have got the chance certainly, it is whether they
:21:56. > :22:00.can pick up enough points in this crucial period, which is gohng to
:22:01. > :22:05.allow them to get into that top four. They have got a lot of
:22:06. > :22:09.injuries, experienced players, and they have got three games so far,
:22:10. > :22:11.and they have lost two of them within one score. So they whll

:22:16. > :22:19.McDermott saying that they were a bit soft offensively, is that the
:22:20. > :22:25.problem, that you have a very different team? I'm sure it is, they
:22:26. > :22:30.are missing Kevin Saint field, and all of the rest. They are trying to
:22:31. > :22:34.find the new leaders of the team. In the injuries they have got now. They
:22:35. > :22:37.need to step up and say this is my team. How important is the win for

:23:18. > :23:20.of his duties at Hull KR after the team failed to win any of their

:23:58. > :24:05.Williams thought about the kit, everybody stood still. Hull KR Rabi

:24:21. > :24:35.hold their heads up high. Really hold their heads up high. Rdally
:24:36. > :24:44.proud of the resilience of the boys, the toughness, I thought thd effort
:24:45. > :24:49.was first class. I came into this gig as a coach, to one day be in
:24:50. > :24:59.charge of the team, I still harbour that ambition. So it is the Hull
:25:00. > :25:00.Kingston Rovers, with their new manager but how do their opponents

:25:14. > :25:19.ball has gone to ground and it is swiftly picked up and again away
:25:20. > :25:28.goes Swift, down this left-hand side. Adam Swift with a turn of

:25:32. > :25:37.appearance of the season, will score appearance of the season, will score
:25:38. > :25:41.against his former club. If the video referee agrees with Bhll
:25:42. > :25:45.Bentham's on field decision. They are looking for a high tackle, it
:25:46. > :25:50.was on the back of the shoulders and it should be OK and it is. Saint
:25:51. > :25:59.Helens have their first school, four minutes of play. He has got
:26:00. > :26:09.himself there, it has fumbled. That was endeavour! Bart there is a
:26:10. > :26:12.question, did he get his hand on the ball first, ahead of any of those
:26:13. > :26:16.desperate Saints's hands. Yes and desperate Saints's hands. Yds and
:26:17. > :26:31.Hull KR confirmed they tried, they should be level. He takes off, to

:26:35. > :26:46.eye-catching Rovers stuff. Hnvolved eye-catching Rovers stuff. Involved
:26:47. > :26:58.heavily. Walsh with a kick to the corner. Down comes Makin 's and, to

:27:18. > :27:19.KR, with that six points advantage, and playing much better than they
:27:20. > :27:24.have so far this season, Sahnt Helen have so far this season, Saint Helen
:27:25. > :27:32.still without James Roby. They will be needing to lift it. The punches

:28:10. > :28:16.some, crashing in. Turning up some, crashing in. Turning up
:28:17. > :28:20.tonight and scoring his first try of the season. This will lift Saint
:28:21. > :28:24.Helens because James Roby is on the field for the very first tile.
:28:25. > :28:33.Helens because James Roby is on the field for the very first time. It
:28:34. > :28:38.has taken a while, 50 odd mhnutes. Roby is in the hair straightaway. He
:28:39. > :28:45.could be called into action, it is a penalty. A little over vigorous
:28:46. > :28:49.after the tackle was complete, two points was a no-brainer here.
:28:50. > :28:55.Because this will put Saint Helen 's level again midway through the
:28:56. > :29:01.second half, 16 points apiece. Looks like his night is over. McDonnell.
:29:02. > :29:05.Wilkin, stepping on the left foot twice, and forcing himself over the
:29:06. > :29:11.line. And a distant celebration by the Saint Helen 's fans, confirmed
:29:12. > :29:22.by the referee, and Jon Wilkin with a try that puts his side ahdad.
:29:23. > :29:29.There wasn't a car-macro man anywhere near him!
:29:30. > :29:50.It looks a much sharper St Helens side. It has been lost. The pass was
:29:51. > :29:51.forward. It will be a drop out underneath the sticks. The pressure
:29:52. > :30:01.remains on Rovers. Much too short. They have to get
:30:02. > :30:08.something back in the game, but not from a kick like that.
:30:09. > :33:10.The kick from Walshe will give St Helens a threescore lead.
:33:11. > :33:16.If we worry too much about what is going on, he will go once on Friday.
:33:17. > :33:18.When do we expect to see yot going on, he will go once on Friday.
:33:19. > :33:24.When do we expect to see you back, When do we expect to see you back,
:33:25. > :33:33.there are a raft of players, the thing is, our key players, they are
:33:34. > :33:37.in that call group. 1-7 and nine. I'm happy to say that I will be back
:33:38. > :33:42.in the next couple of weeks, Huddersfield also offered if
:33:43. > :33:44.everything goes to plan. We will be live to team forward to seeing you
:33:45. > :33:49.live to team forward to seehng you back out on the pitch, now let us
:33:50. > :33:50.have a look at Warrington against Wakefield, that finished 80-0
:33:51. > :33:51.have a look at Warrington against Wakefield, that finished 80,0 to the
:33:52. > :33:56.Wakefield, that finished 80-0 to the Wolves last year. This one was a
:33:57. > :33:58.little bit closer. It did, I thought that Wakefield played particularly
:33:59. > :34:04.well, it was a couple of crucial well, it was a couple of crtcial
:34:05. > :34:10.things in the game, looking at the first one. The pace. He goes to
:34:11. > :34:11.score a try and there are through four Wakefield offenders that cannot
:34:12. > :34:13.four Wakefield offenders th`t cannot get near him but they really
:34:14. > :34:17.get near him but they reallx competed in this game, the scoreline
:34:18. > :34:22.suggests, that it was a bit more one-sided than it was, they made
:34:23. > :34:26.some poor decisions defensively at times, which gave Warrington
:34:27. > :34:28.opportunities but when they had the ball in hand, Wakefield showed some
:34:29. > :34:32.great things. Craig Hall pl`yed great things. Craig Hall played
:34:33. > :34:34.particularly well as a full,back, he was a late admission into the team,
:34:35. > :34:39.and he score a try here, thd game and he score a try here, the game
:34:40. > :34:40.was very tight for large periods of this game, Warrington just seem to
:34:41. > :34:48.have a little bit of that cutting have a little bit of that cttting
:34:49. > :34:51.edge. Brilliant play, 18-6, there was nothing in the game at this
:34:52. > :34:55.stage, a couple of times they were stage, a couple of times thdy were
:34:56. > :35:01.really close to the line. It was wonderful play from them. Do you see
:35:02. > :35:03.much better signs from them. I think that they can, I think that they
:35:04. > :35:04.showed great signs against us that they can, I think that they
:35:05. > :35:09.showed great signs against ts last showed great signs against us last
:35:10. > :35:13.week, they turned up on the day, they played some great football you
:35:14. > :35:15.can see that there are definitely growing as a squad under Brhan
:35:16. > :35:20.growing as a squad under Brian Smith. But there is a bit of a love
:35:21. > :35:26.in between them, also a lot more to come from Warrington? You would
:35:27. > :35:29.never know that they were brothers, would you? I agree, look I don't
:35:30. > :35:34.think that Warrington were that great in this game, I thought Kurt
:35:35. > :35:37.Gidley was pretty good, in really good form but I think that `s a team
:35:38. > :35:40.they are not quite there. But the they are not quite there. Btt the
:35:41. > :35:44.pleasing thing for Tony Smith is that if they are not quite there,
:35:45. > :35:48.and they are still putting 34 points they will be happy with where they
:35:49. > :35:50.are, they are towards the top of the table and lot of improvement in
:35:51. > :35:56.them. We would hope that evdrybody them. We would hope that evdrybody
:35:57. > :36:00.has a bit of improvement in them, and the ground will firm up, they
:36:01. > :36:05.have got a big player back, when the ground firms up. Now time for some
:36:06. > :36:08.silly answers to some silly questions, much like the rest of the
:36:09. > :36:10.programme, it is last tackld and programme, it is last tackld and
:36:11. > :36:26.this week it is time for the Salford this week it is time for thd Salford

:36:30. > :36:38.greatest hits. Sean. With Elinem, some country music CDs. Probably
:36:39. > :36:50.Mickey Rook. Ryan Giggs. Probably he and Ashton Bjerre Jesus Nav`s
:36:51. > :36:57.Manchester City. Johnny Depp comedy is a pretty good break sort of.
:36:58. > :36:59.Probably David Beckham. I think Tom Hardy. Tom Hardy, a bit of `

:37:01. > :37:11.Hardy. Tom Hardy, a bit of ` moment. The rock. Invested? Layla I'm ready
:37:12. > :37:13.tight with my money so I would fully tight with my money so I wotld fully
:37:14. > :37:36.save it. I would say we call him carnage,
:37:37. > :37:39.because he causes carnage. Sonny Bill Williams, he thinks he looks
:37:40. > :37:49.like him. Nobody sees it but himself. Stand back and let everyone
:37:50. > :37:53.do it! Rubbish and cooking. I can do a great omelette and jerk chicken.
:37:54. > :37:56.My mum does it all. I'm a bit lazy My mum does it all. I'm a bht lazy
:37:57. > :38:06.that way. Only the Brisbane Broncos h`ve
:38:07. > :38:08.beaten Wigan at the DW over the last 18 months. Salford haven't won there
:38:09. > :38:18.since 1997. And our Brian penalty got them on
:38:19. > :38:24.the scoreboard in the fourth minute but the lead was short lived.
:38:25. > :38:36.Over the top it goes! He is going in at the corner, a great try! The
:38:37. > :38:38.promising 19-year-old wasn't finished, grabbing a brace in the
:38:39. > :38:45.finished, grabbing a brace hn the first half. Bateman gets it away,
:38:46. > :38:53.charging forward, O Brien slips the ball out, the Smith, over the top.
:38:54. > :38:54.Inside one, inside to commids ball out, the Smith, over the top.
:38:55. > :38:59.Inside one, inside to commies cause again!
:39:00. > :39:11.Smith brings it to the line, a big gap, and he is in there, he gets the
:39:12. > :39:16.ball down. The ball comes rhght to left, the defence slides, they know
:39:17. > :39:27.what is coming, the kick is in their and Johnson gets there the fastest.
:39:28. > :39:33.That second try from Salford has been threatening.
:39:34. > :39:49.With just four minutes remahning, a moment of controversy, it appeared
:39:50. > :39:58.to be a knock-on. He will score here! He claims he is in at the
:39:59. > :40:01.corner and Wigan have snatched back the lead. I am really disappointed
:40:02. > :40:03.at the way it did end, looked the lead. I am really disappointed
:40:04. > :40:07.at the way it did end, looked like we should have had a share of the
:40:08. > :40:11.points, to be fair. The fact that he knocks on on the last play before
:40:12. > :40:19.the score doesn't help and the fact we conceded, the right to officials
:40:20. > :40:27.and the referee can't see it. I thought we showed toughness, some
:40:28. > :40:30.poor skill errors, I put a bit of that down to fatigue. But too many
:40:31. > :40:34.errors put us under pressure. that down to fatigue. But too many
:40:35. > :40:40.errors put us under pressure. But we were good for the win.
:40:41. > :40:47.Wigan are yet to play well and are still unbeaten. Everyone should be
:40:48. > :40:54.scared, some of their players are coming back, the Thomson brothers,
:40:55. > :40:59.and the car, a key part of their team, he lifts the rest of the boys.
:41:00. > :41:05.The scary thing is that they haven't lost at the DW for 18 months.
:41:06. > :41:06.Salford look awful lot better, lost at the DW for 18 months.
:41:07. > :41:12.Salford look awful lot better, today finally look like a team to you I
:41:13. > :41:19.think they played pretty well. I thought that game was there the
:41:20. > :41:24.taking. Wigan are great at the moment, they got themselves back to
:41:25. > :41:30.16-16, I thought it was there for the taking, they will be bitterly
:41:31. > :41:33.disappointed. But who wins, two losses, they will be happy with
:41:34. > :41:39.where they are. Looking forward to the next stage of the season. Where
:41:40. > :41:40.can they finished? I think their priority is top aide, with a side
:41:41. > :41:45.priority is top aide, with ` side they have got, they have some real
:41:46. > :41:46.they have got, they have sole real strike in the team, top eight is a
:41:47. > :41:50.must. So we can maintain their strike in the team, top eight is a
:41:51. > :41:50.must. So we can maintain thdir 00% must. So we can maintain thdir 00%
:41:51. > :42:31.record but they are not top. Well that is it for this wedk. We
:42:32. > :42:34.are looking forward to seeing you back out there, Terry. We started
:42:35. > :42:40.this week with a victory for the Tigers and we will end with one as
:42:41. > :42:42.well, that 1977 John player Trophy final win Castleford beat Blackpool
:42:43. > :42:55.Borough. They went through a lot of sticks of
:42:56. > :43:12.rock into the crowd before the match. There is Windsor Davhes.
:43:13. > :43:21.Blackpool are in the lead. He gets away and is going to score, he is!
:43:22. > :43:30.Interception! Wide open, ag`in. And Interception! Wide open, again. And
:43:31. > :43:49.he is enjoying himself. It is a tried to John Joyner,
