:00:39. > :00:40.Hello - a month into the Super League season,

:00:41. > :00:42.the champions were at the bottom

:00:43. > :00:45.and the team that some thought would be at

:00:46. > :00:51.It has been that sort of year so far.

:00:52. > :00:55.We have reached round four and here is what is up.

:00:56. > :00:57.Did Warrington's high wire `ct continue or was it just

:00:58. > :01:06.Up, up under way - the pointless pair of Leeds

:01:07. > :01:07.and Huddersfield looked to jump-start their

:01:08. > :01:24.And Corey, blimey, the Super League's top try scorer

:01:25. > :01:25.wings in for a magical

:01:26. > :01:29.No one has scored more Super League tries in the last 20 years

:01:30. > :01:30.than the Leeds captain Danny McGuire.

:01:31. > :01:33.He is alongside the slightlx less prolific but equally

:01:34. > :01:36.Round four began on Thursdax with a meeting of Salford

:01:37. > :01:39.and Warrington and watching on was Dave Woods.

:01:40. > :01:54.Holding down too long against Chris Hill.

:01:55. > :01:56.Didn't get off quick enough from the referee Robert

:01:57. > :02:07.So an excellent position ag`in here for Salford and Junior Sa'u

:02:08. > :02:17.Junior Sa'u, fourth try in four appearances this season.

:02:18. > :02:23.Keeping alive on this right hand side.

:02:24. > :02:28.Well, Jack Hughes might be over the line here.

:02:29. > :02:53.Jack Hughes under all this, thinks try.

:02:54. > :02:56.And on the balance of the evidence, I think the video referee

:02:57. > :03:00.Judgment on the field and try is given.

:03:01. > :03:01.Two tries in the opening eight minutes.

:03:02. > :03:21.Oh, it's another big effort down the right-hand side.

:03:22. > :03:53.On the fifth, Dobson slides into the in-goal area.

:03:54. > :04:02.Oh, he's going to have a go from there as well!

:04:03. > :04:22.this left-hand side, dealt with by defenders.

:04:23. > :04:28.It is taken in mid air by Jtnior Sa'u.

:04:29. > :04:44.If this is Kevin... It will now be his fifth in four

:04:45. > :04:49.appearances nothing is wrong with the grounding here. There is the

:04:50. > :05:04.result, the decision. Junior Sa u. Quick hands again from Dobson. Well

:05:05. > :05:07.taken by Josh Griffin, rollhng over the line. What has happened

:05:08. > :05:19.here? The referee is not sure. He has given the try and Griffhn is

:05:20. > :05:49.A penalty and it is all getting a little heated year. Ben

:05:50. > :06:02.Currie... And the referee is in the calm things down. -- heated here. A

:06:03. > :06:06.penalty for Gareth or Brian. They are impressive this year. W`rrington

:06:07. > :06:21.need a response. Ben Currie, a dreadful night at the

:06:22. > :06:28.moment. And absolutely filthy night, the rain pouring down. And just

:06:29. > :06:34.reacquainting himself with him here, patting him on the back of the head.

:06:35. > :06:38.He is not impressed and Justin Carney has got involved. He suddenly

:06:39. > :06:45.came in from nowhere, and I think there might have been something here

:06:46. > :06:48.as well. The penalty is givdn for that messing

:06:49. > :06:54.about and Ben Currie robs the back of his head, not the way to calm

:06:55. > :06:56.things down and then Justin Carney comes in and for some reason decides

:06:57. > :06:57.to shove Ashton Sims in the face. It is

:06:58. > :07:02.a yellow Currie and Justin Carney is off as

:07:03. > :07:13.well for ten minutes. Now it is Atkins, Ryan Atkins! His

:07:14. > :07:18.100th try. giving Warrington a Smith of the

:07:19. > :07:38.whole year. Sandow, a good carry again by

:07:39. > :07:42.Hughes. Sandow... Attempted kick to the in goal area and he is there to

:07:43. > :07:45.touch it down! Warrington are getting closer and closer, they will

:07:46. > :07:46.be back Drive by Rhys Evans. A dummx half. A

:07:47. > :08:05.little skip and a jump! Ashton Sims! It is over! Warrington are right

:08:06. > :08:34.back in it. At 30-30, with 14 to play. Ht is

:08:35. > :08:39.charged down. Salford have ht back. Offside! Against

:08:40. > :08:57.Dobson, Sandow's drop goal charged down, and a penalty. Sandow, to get

:08:58. > :08:59.two points, the unlikeliest two points. He has missed!

:09:00. > :09:05.This will be just about the last play here.

:09:06. > :09:25.Sandow, Dodgers away with the drop goal. Sandow!

:09:26. > :09:30.An absolute screamer. Would you believe that?

:09:31. > :09:48.He missed the penalty. He h`s landed an almost impossible drop goal to

:09:49. > :09:55.win the game. Sensational! STUDIO: Some ending, that. No fence,

:09:56. > :10:01.but he has kept more of these then you have! How difficult was that?

:10:02. > :10:05.The distance, 40 metres out. The conditions, you have to takd that

:10:06. > :10:09.into account, a wet, slippery night. The last second of the game, to be

:10:10. > :10:13.able to nail that, obviouslx the place Sandow is another mintte,

:10:14. > :10:16.playing with confidence, looks like he has found his feet and they were

:10:17. > :10:19.lucky to win the game. Is that the kind of thing and he is kicking

:10:20. > :10:23.throughout the game, that they have been missing?

:10:24. > :10:24.Yet, that's obviously why they signed him,

:10:25. > :10:28.he had a great reputation in the NRL as being a bit of a maverick

:10:29. > :10:30.with a great kicking game and I think he

:10:31. > :10:34.Looks like he is in a more comfortable environment.

:10:35. > :10:37.I think it is always tough to go to a place in mid-season

:10:38. > :10:40.and find your feet, but it seems like he has found his feet

:10:41. > :10:44.18 points down, they were, that is quite comeback from

:10:45. > :10:47.If that character in the team, self belief?

:10:48. > :10:51.Tony Smith seemed to say at the end of that from a way out,

:10:52. > :10:54.he felt if they were in it with 20 minutes to go,

:10:55. > :11:02.I think last year they found themselves in similar posithons

:11:03. > :11:05.throughout the whole of the season, they had a tough transition`l year

:11:06. > :11:07.and this year they have a few more troops,

:11:08. > :11:10.they have some better players, as it were, and they have got more

:11:11. > :11:13.confidence and that self belief comes with those players as well,

:11:14. > :11:16.so that's why they have gond on all the way and pushed it right

:11:17. > :11:19.Salford, totally different, they are not used to being

:11:20. > :11:24.Is that the key for them now, two weeks in a row, they have

:11:25. > :11:25.narrowly lost out, they need to learn to

:11:26. > :11:30.I wouldn't be too disheartened if I was Salford, they have started

:11:31. > :11:32.the season really well and some of the

:11:33. > :11:35.signings they have made, they look more of a workmanlike team

:11:36. > :11:37.and they are working hard for each other,

:11:38. > :11:40.which is obviously going to make them a stronger unit this ydar

:11:41. > :11:42.and obviously losing their in the dying second,

:11:43. > :11:44.and obviously losing there in the dying second,

:11:45. > :11:47.but I'm sure they will bounce back from that.

:11:48. > :11:50.The flip side obviously the Warrington is it is a f`ntastic

:11:51. > :11:53.What does that do have the confidence of Salford,

:11:54. > :11:56.I think it will probably damage their confidence a lhttle bit

:11:57. > :12:00.because they will have thought they would have gone on to win that

:12:01. > :12:02.game, they will be disappointed but again, it is character building.

:12:03. > :12:04.As Danny says, I wouldn't bd too disheartened by that,

:12:05. > :12:07.I think it is a great position they got themselves

:12:08. > :12:10.into but if they do learn and they do keep moving

:12:11. > :12:12.forward, they will win those games in the future

:12:13. > :12:16.Get yourselves in those poshtions and the errors that you madd,

:12:17. > :12:19.they can only serve you and make you stronger in the long run

:12:20. > :12:23.So Warrington left it late to maintain their perfect rdcord.

:12:24. > :12:27.They hit the far from perfect M 2 on Friday night for the trip

:12:28. > :12:31.Your commentator for this one is Matt Newson.

:12:32. > :12:39.And they have made an early breakthrough at the KC.

:12:40. > :13:18.Close to the line, Scott Taxlor against his former club,

:13:19. > :14:31.Hull lining up drop goal attempt here.

:14:32. > :14:52.Bateman is going to try and take it to the line.

:14:53. > :15:09.The desire and the guts that they showed, the kids,

:15:10. > :15:13.having shown the players, I thought

:15:14. > :15:18.it was an outstanding effort, against a really, really well

:15:19. > :15:25.Defensively, obviously, to leak points, you're alwaxs

:15:26. > :15:31.But last week we played a top six side in Castleford

:15:32. > :15:34.and I think this week we pl`yed a top four side in Wigan,

:15:35. > :15:36.and we were just marginally off on both

:15:37. > :15:38.occasions, so, you know, there is obviously room

:15:39. > :15:41.for improvement, and that is what we have to knuckle down

:15:42. > :15:46.Have you seen a game where they have exchanged

:15:47. > :15:54.But it was the quality of the drop goals.

:15:55. > :15:59.Another one from about 40 ott as well, so it is good to sde,

:16:00. > :16:02.good for the sport, but agahn two teams that will be challenghng

:16:03. > :16:07.According to Sean Wynne, they have yet to really plax well.

:16:08. > :16:15.Yes, you don't want to be pdaking at this time of the year

:16:16. > :16:18.It is about building, about starting and gaining that

:16:19. > :16:22.I think Wigan have some rard players and Sean Wynne seems

:16:23. > :16:25.to be moving them along steadily, you know,

:16:26. > :16:27.and they have an impressive home record.

:16:28. > :16:30.So it's going to be a tough place to go on Friday night.

:16:31. > :16:33.They had a lot of players away with England during the internathonal

:16:34. > :16:36.series at the end of last sdason, so is it not surprising to ` certain

:16:37. > :16:40.extent they are lacking a bht of fluidity in attack

:16:41. > :16:43.because so many of the playdrs have not had much of a pre-season?

:16:44. > :16:46.Yes, potentially, but they `re still winning and at this point

:16:47. > :16:48.of the season, it's about gdtting the points on the board.

:16:49. > :16:50.You know, the teams will start coming to

:16:51. > :16:52.the fore towards August timd, September time, when it really

:16:53. > :16:56.matters, but Wigan are still winning and they are up there at thd top

:16:57. > :16:59.What about Hull, again a very narrow defeat for them,

:17:00. > :17:02.is their next step a little bit like Salford, closing

:17:03. > :17:08.Possibly, but it's all about getting yourselves up for the big g`mes

:17:09. > :17:11.and also the lower ranked teams as well.

:17:12. > :17:15.They get themselves into a position, they are really confident.

:17:16. > :17:17.But they are not getting over the line.

:17:18. > :17:19.Against Wigan, I think they competed a lot better.

:17:20. > :17:22.They were a lot more physic`l, they looked a lot more

:17:23. > :17:24.fitter, a lot of energy, you need that in the big gales,

:17:25. > :17:28.but it is against the teams further down the table that you need that

:17:29. > :17:30.as well, you need the right balance and I am

:17:31. > :17:32.sure they will start winning some games.

:17:33. > :17:35.Well sitting on top of the try scoring charts after the opdning

:17:36. > :17:37.month of the season was the witness winger Corey Thompson.

:17:38. > :17:40.He clocked up plenty of air miles over the winter

:17:41. > :17:44.after signing from Canterbury, but he issues to life at thd airport

:17:45. > :17:47.after signing from Canterbury, but he is used to life

:17:48. > :17:49.and that is where we found last week.

:17:50. > :17:55.My brother was a supervisor at the Brisbane airport and,

:17:56. > :17:57.you know, I was just playing semiprofessional,

:17:58. > :18:04.games like pup footy and my mum was sick of me staying at home every

:18:05. > :18:07.day so I got a job there, throwing bags around for a few years

:18:08. > :18:09.and thank God football came knocking and, you know,

:18:10. > :18:14.I have done that for a full,time job for just four years

:18:15. > :18:18.I am enjoying it now and I'l hoping my footy career can keep

:18:19. > :18:22.going many more years because I am not looking forward to going back

:18:23. > :18:24.I was lucky enough to sign with the Bulldogs.

:18:25. > :18:26.I was lucky enough to play in the Grand Final

:18:27. > :18:29.the year I debuted, so I thhnk I played every game that ye`r

:18:30. > :18:32.and the Grand Final and it is something I'll

:18:33. > :18:34.never forget and I enjoyed ly time there very much.

:18:35. > :18:38.Then I got offered to come over to the Super League and it was too

:18:39. > :18:44.good to refuse, so I took that up and I am enjoying it.

:18:45. > :18:51.It is going to bounce kindly for Thompson.

:18:52. > :18:59.Thompson gets his second. Wd knew we always had a team that could start

:19:00. > :19:02.the year well but we have rdally sent a message to the rest of the

:19:03. > :19:06.Super League that this year, we are going to be competitive and we could

:19:07. > :19:11.finish right up there. We wdre unlucky not to be four out of four.

:19:12. > :19:15.We started slowly in Salford and you can't give a quality team at 22

:19:16. > :19:19.point head start and we almost came back but Salford got a late try If

:19:20. > :19:23.we keep playing it simple and up-tempo, we can go a long way in

:19:24. > :19:28.this competition and we are expecting ourselves to go w`y and we

:19:29. > :19:33.will let ourselves down if we don't. I have got six tries and yot know,

:19:34. > :19:37.it should be out but I have an excellent centre playing inside me

:19:38. > :19:41.in Chris Bridge and I enjoy playing outside him, he gives me good ball

:19:42. > :19:46.and I don't have to work too hard to get the ball down, so I can't take

:19:47. > :19:49.too much from my tries. I h`ven t been around many English boxs, they

:19:50. > :19:52.make me laugh with their sense of humour, they are always havhng a go

:19:53. > :19:57.at me about being Australian and the way I speak. I am really enjoying it

:19:58. > :20:00.over here, I get along with all of the boys, it is a great culture

:20:01. > :20:06.Widnes and everyone is enjoxing each other's company. I live in

:20:07. > :20:09.Manchester so when I am in Liverpool or Manchester, I walk around like a

:20:10. > :20:13.tourist and take photos of the places and just enjoy it. I have

:20:14. > :20:17.never been to London so I w`nt to get down there, and to Scotland but

:20:18. > :20:22.just worry about 40 and hopdfully have the chance to travel. H have

:20:23. > :20:26.been here almost every week, I am still getthng used

:20:27. > :20:34.to it and I really enjoy it, it was a good decision to come herd and I

:20:35. > :20:38.am loving football at the moment. He certainly seems to be settling in

:20:39. > :20:43.well, he looks a pretty good signing, doesn't he? Yes, hd started

:20:44. > :20:46.the season really well and he touched on it there, he has a

:20:47. > :20:51.quality Centre inside him in Chris Bridge. Thinking back to Chris

:20:52. > :20:54.Bridge's Warrington days, I can remember Chris Hicks scoring loads

:20:55. > :20:59.tries outside him so he is definitely a centre that provides

:21:00. > :21:03.his winger with of tries. How key are those partnerships out on the

:21:04. > :21:07.wing? We sometimes forget about it. They are key virtue have to have

:21:08. > :21:12.good finishes and Thompson hs a great finisher, but you havd the

:21:13. > :21:17.people in the middle of the field laying the platform. The right side

:21:18. > :21:20.for Widnes is fantastic, with Ken Brown looping round. Plenty of

:21:21. > :21:24.people that can cause havoc in the opposition so he will pick tp plenty

:21:25. > :21:30.of tries. Got to give the prop forward credit. Widnes were at home

:21:31. > :21:33.to Hull KR, the Vikings looking forward to go back to the top of the

:21:34. > :21:40.table but it was the Vikings that scored -- it was Hull KR who scored

:21:41. > :21:45.first. Yes, they did this l`st week, starting in such great form, and it

:21:46. > :21:50.is like a mental side of it but after that, it was all Widnds. This

:21:51. > :21:54.is the right side, getting the ball through the middle, Rhys Halbrick

:21:55. > :21:58.gets it and then it is over in the corner, a fantastic finish. And Joel

:21:59. > :22:03.Muller has been a standout player from a so far, he is absolutely

:22:04. > :22:09.rapid. Every time he gets hhs hands on the ball, it starts with Ken

:22:10. > :22:15.Brown, Mellor through uses great footwork and his speed. Brown so

:22:16. > :22:20.often gets the headlines, btt he is so important as well. The

:22:21. > :22:23.partnership has gotten stronger over the last few years and in mx

:22:24. > :22:26.opinion, witness one of the best attacking teams in the compdtition,

:22:27. > :22:32.they can score tries from anywhere, they are a real threat and with Rhys

:22:33. > :22:39.Hambly linking from the back, they are fantastic. We can see your old

:22:40. > :22:44.team out there, it is tough at the moment, they have so few pl`yers.

:22:45. > :22:48.They are in a hole at the moment, struggling with injuries, btt that

:22:49. > :22:51.is a fantastic try, he showdd a lot of ability in the academy at Leeds

:22:52. > :22:56.and didn't get too much opportunity with us so I am hoping he does well

:22:57. > :23:00.for Hull KR. Corey Thompson weighed in with a couple of tries, but it

:23:01. > :23:06.doesn't seem to get the message not to dive all the way on the pitch. I

:23:07. > :23:09.am not saying anything and H will get hammered, but Chris Bridge with

:23:10. > :23:15.a great pass as well. It is the right side, bridge with the flick

:23:16. > :23:19.pass, Thompson with the fend off and dives into the corner yet again

:23:20. > :23:24.He's the one putting the body on his line, that is what you want to see.

:23:25. > :23:26.At the end of the game, Hull KR saying James Webster will bd the

:23:27. > :23:33.interim coach for the rest of the season. What do you of having an

:23:34. > :23:37.interim coach? It is an intdresting decision. Chris Chester did

:23:38. > :23:40.brilliantly getting Hull KR to the Challenge Cup final and it hs sad to

:23:41. > :23:45.see him leave, but obviouslx, the people in charge think they need a

:23:46. > :23:50.change in our Governor James Webster is very good technically, so we will

:23:51. > :23:55.probably see some improvements on the defensive side of the g`me and

:23:56. > :24:00.hopefully they will improve over the coming weeks. One of the thhngs

:24:01. > :24:04.Jamie Peacock pointed out, he is part of the club, he knows the DNA,

:24:05. > :24:14.and is that key at this momdnt in time?

:24:15. > :24:21.Again it is just adding somdone else to the team to help them progress. A

:24:22. > :24:24.lot of pressure was put on discussing it before saying,

:24:25. > :24:27.basically, a lot of clubs do not just have one coach, they h`ve the

:24:28. > :24:29.assisteds as well and need those people in place to make surd

:24:30. > :24:33.everything runs smoothly and they have all the right techniquds in

:24:34. > :24:37.place. It is a lot of presstre of one person so I think it helps a

:24:38. > :24:46.little. I wonder, from his time at Wakefield, what he would have taken?

:24:47. > :24:48.Obviously Wakefield is a totgh job, everything that went on at the club

:24:49. > :24:53.at that time. Like I said bdfore, I think he has big wraps for his

:24:54. > :24:57.offensive game and they havd very good attacking players so I am sure

:24:58. > :25:00.he will be working on those structures but, OK, probablx need to

:25:01. > :25:05.tighten up a bit defensivelx to do anything this year. Leeds and

:25:06. > :25:08.Huddersfield finished in thd top three last year but they were the

:25:09. > :25:11.bottom two at the start of the run. Neither registered a win in February

:25:12. > :25:28.and were hoping to spring for in March. -- spring forward in March.

:25:29. > :25:30.COMMENTATOR: He is costing. Leeds are deflated here,

:25:31. > :25:49.struggling -- coasting. Nothing is going Huddersfield's way here.

:25:50. > :25:56.Zak Hardaker with a chance to get them all square.

:25:57. > :26:03.And in the words of James, hf they hadn't seen such riches thex could

:26:04. > :26:05.live with being poor but it should get slightly better for at least one

:26:06. > :26:13.of these two sides tonight. It

:26:14. > :26:17.certainly needs to. Lilley... I think it has gone backwards. It has,

:26:18. > :26:25.so Leeds retain an attacking position here. It is Lilley again.

:26:26. > :26:33.Last play coming up. Hardakdr is into the line to provide thd testing

:26:34. > :26:39.kit. He got up superbly and Moon's finish is even better! They are

:26:40. > :26:41.having a look again. He says try. What about the video refered?

:26:42. > :26:48.Millimetres inside the whitdwash. It is the first try of the night.

:26:49. > :27:02.Joel Madden. -- Moon. To his right hand side here. A good

:27:03. > :27:06.tackle by Moon. Danny Brough off, my word!

:27:07. > :27:11.Danny Brough! How much easidr could try scoring be!

:27:12. > :27:20.The Leeds defends simply swhtched off. Sixth, coming up. They will

:27:21. > :27:23.test with a kit. He only gets his fingertips to read!

:27:24. > :27:26.McGillvary finishes and Leeds are pickdd again.

:27:27. > :27:44.A costly mistake. Not coming on after his hamstring

:27:45. > :27:48.injury, so yet another injury problem for Leeds. Here is

:27:49. > :27:59.Sutcliffe! Sutcliffe charges over. Liam Sutcliffe, injecting p`ce and

:28:00. > :28:06.power and determination! Danny Brough drilling it through, looking

:28:07. > :28:10.to put Leeds on the back th`t you're right from the start. Compotnded

:28:11. > :28:15.with a knock-on. He is having one of those nights tonight, Ryan Hall

:28:16. > :28:24.that he would hope to quickly forget. This has given Hudddrsfield

:28:25. > :28:32.terrific position. A quick dash and a dart here. He held up just short.

:28:33. > :28:44.It is just wide and Michael Lawrence is over! Huddersfield have the lead

:28:45. > :28:49.again. Cuthbertson, almost collared but got away with it and kedps

:28:50. > :28:55.things going, and the ball hs dropped back for Keinhorst to drop

:28:56. > :29:01.on, Keinhorst with a chance to score! And McGillvary's boot just

:29:02. > :29:09.got there first. Exasperation for Jimmy Keinhorst. Enthusiasm for

:29:10. > :29:20.McGillvary. Frustration for the coach. Here is Lilley. That is cute,

:29:21. > :29:23.and it is Keinhorst again! But have McGillvary's bits rescue thd day for

:29:24. > :29:32.a second time here for Hudddrsfield? They will have to look at the

:29:33. > :29:38.grounding here. -- boots. H`s he got enough on that, Jimmy Keinhorst

:29:39. > :29:47.Yes, he has. A picture paints a thousand words. The ball has gone to

:29:48. > :29:57.ground. Knocked on by Sutclhffe A penalty for Huddersfield. Two

:29:58. > :30:03.points. That is what he wants. What is the judgment? Penalty in front of

:30:04. > :30:08.the six which Jordan Lily should surely put over here!

:30:09. > :30:12.It has not been pretty from Leeds tonight,

:30:13. > :30:25.but they are going to get their first win of the season.

:30:26. > :30:28.Not a classic, but I'm guessing a huge amount of relief

:30:29. > :30:30.Yes, I think, you know, the conditions.

:30:31. > :30:34.It had rained all day and I think the pitch,

:30:35. > :30:37.always going to be a bit of a slog, a bit of a grind,

:30:38. > :30:40.and I think obviously the two points were crucial

:30:41. > :30:43.We could see both teams plaxing with not much confidence,

:30:44. > :30:46.and obviously we were reallx happy to get over the line and pick

:30:47. > :30:52.For Huddersfield, Paul saying that that is

:30:53. > :30:55.not a team at the bottom pl`ying, not that disappointed

:30:56. > :30:58.I think he will be disappointed with the result.

:30:59. > :31:00.The performance, it just wasn't brilliant for the whole gamd.

:31:01. > :31:03.That many errors, just not what we expect from

:31:04. > :31:05.ourselves, or even from Leeds for that matter.

:31:06. > :31:08.For us, I think it needs to change this week.

:31:09. > :31:10.We need to change something mentally as much

:31:11. > :31:12.We still have confidence, and if we remain

:31:13. > :31:15.positive I am sure we will start winning soon.

:31:16. > :31:17.Danny Brough is back, still a very key figure.

:31:18. > :31:25.It is absolutely fine, just the way it is.

:31:26. > :31:27.It gives Broughy an opportunity now to

:31:28. > :31:29.stop looking so miserable, like he does there.

:31:30. > :31:32.And just to crack on with what he does best, play rugby,

:31:33. > :31:37.You can see how much it makes a difference to us.

:31:38. > :31:43.That kick there, it is pinpoint it is bang on the line,

:31:44. > :31:48.and if Jamie can get up there and put some pressure

:31:49. > :31:50.on he might stand a chance of scoring a try.

:31:51. > :31:54.Danny Brough just picked the ball up.

:31:55. > :31:56.He doesn't even have to do anything, it is just

:31:57. > :31:58.electric off the mark, such a good player.

:31:59. > :32:02.It is what we need him doing, playing well.

:32:03. > :32:13.His kicking game is probablx the best in the league,

:32:14. > :32:16.that left foot, when you see him ready to take

:32:17. > :32:19.the kick, it puts the fear of God into the full-backs and the winners,

:32:20. > :32:21.so he is really crucial to what Huddersfield are dohng,

:32:22. > :32:23.and when they are playing well he is usually

:32:24. > :32:26.Obviously in your absence, Liam Sutcliffe and Jordan

:32:27. > :32:28.Lilley making up the halves for Leeds.

:32:29. > :32:32.I think they are doing a really good job.

:32:33. > :32:34.It is a tough situation for them lads.

:32:35. > :32:38.Liam coming back from a serhous injury, a ligament injury.

:32:39. > :32:40.He was always going to take a few weeks

:32:41. > :32:47.I thought on Friday's performance he was really good.

:32:48. > :32:53.And Jordan has nerves of stdel. What about his already kicking g`me?

:32:54. > :32:58.Getting potential there was a chance to pass the ball there but he has a

:32:59. > :33:03.lot of vision, and old school number seven, is Jordan. You know, he can

:33:04. > :33:08.pass, kick, all the attributes to make a great half. When are you due

:33:09. > :33:12.back? Called fully in a couple of weeks. I started running today, so

:33:13. > :33:17.working hard to try to get back as quick as possible. They will go to

:33:18. > :33:23.Wigan without you. A tough game that one? It is always a difficult

:33:24. > :33:27.place to go, Wigan. Their home form speaks for itself. They havd not

:33:28. > :33:32.lost at home for a while, a great team and it will be a tough ask for

:33:33. > :33:36.us but that Wimbledon of us some confidence and hopefully we can go

:33:37. > :33:41.there and play well. And ard you back this week? Yes, if seldcted of

:33:42. > :33:44.course. But with all their hnjuries they probably don't have much

:33:45. > :33:50.choice. I would like to start and that right in but it will bd tough

:33:51. > :33:55.for us ten as well. Two teals who have not won this season. And Hull

:33:56. > :34:00.KR. Yes, there just seems to be so much pressure early on in the

:34:01. > :34:04.season. The form will go up and down and we will be part of that but it

:34:05. > :34:14.starts this week, for me anxway Now time to speak about zoo anilals

:34:15. > :34:17.movie stars and art! Not Prhme Minister's Question Time, btt it is

:34:18. > :34:29.now the time of the Wakefield Trinity Wildcats. A monkey. Probably

:34:30. > :34:37.a bit erratic, a bit daft. H would probably be a cheetah because of my

:34:38. > :34:51.electric pace. A giraffe, long neck and big Tom! Gorilla. Panda. A bit

:34:52. > :35:04.stupid. -- big tongue. I wotld probably say buying animals. A sign

:35:05. > :35:11.of wisdom, are in the? -- aren't they?. Danny DeVito. Tom Hardy.

:35:12. > :35:22.Probably myself. I find mysdlf quite funny at times! I am most scared of

:35:23. > :35:33.snakes, they terrify me. Sphders. I hate them. I hate heights, dven

:35:34. > :35:49.driving over a bridge. I don't care how big or small they are, spiders.

:35:50. > :35:54.Dying. Disco! I don't have ` clue. I used to play darts as well. The

:35:55. > :36:02.terminator. Do you have a d`rts name? I am a big fan and thd ones I

:36:03. > :36:08.would probably want would not happen. It would probably jtst be

:36:09. > :36:16.old fat Robbie Savage Crabtree. What about you? Maverick Maguire, Magic

:36:17. > :36:19.Maguire. Better than fat Robbie Savage, isn't it? Don't forget to

:36:20. > :36:24.get in touch with any questhons you would like us to ask your tdam. Just

:36:25. > :36:31.use the last tackle hashtag. The Wildcats were up against Catalans

:36:32. > :36:36.and it was a flying start bx the Dragons. They look pretty good in

:36:37. > :36:39.the first-half? They did, and he missed a lot of games last xear

:36:40. > :36:44.through injury and I think he will be a key player for Catalans this

:36:45. > :36:50.year. He set up three or fotr tries. Taylor, a real handful. The prop

:36:51. > :36:55.union will not be happy with that body fantastic kit for the try. What

:36:56. > :37:02.do you think of prop forwards? If you can get Paul Anderson to give me

:37:03. > :37:06.the chance I would have a go. Fantastic with the ball in hand but

:37:07. > :37:09.I do not think I will get a look in. You can see how easy it is for

:37:10. > :37:13.Catalans in this game, they just look like a team a lot physhcally

:37:14. > :37:16.stronger than the opposition. Everything is really easy and

:37:17. > :37:19.Wakefield seem to wake up and put in a couple of tries but they have to

:37:20. > :37:23.work really hard for everything they do and it just seems to be one of

:37:24. > :37:28.those days at the office. They look like the team of last year.

:37:29. > :37:34.Defensively, clearly a problem for Wakefield in this game. Are you

:37:35. > :37:38.heartened by the attacks? Yds, Boxing Day, obviously I expdcted a

:37:39. > :37:41.better season this year frol Wakefield. They made strong

:37:42. > :37:48.signings. I think defensively they work it out bit cold here. With the

:37:49. > :37:52.score, it is difficult to gdt back into a game after a poor st`rt like

:37:53. > :37:57.that. I think they probably will take time to gel and get working

:37:58. > :38:01.with Brian Smith but I expect them to improve as the season gods on.

:38:02. > :38:07.Catalans seemed to enjoy thdmselves in this game. They did, and they

:38:08. > :38:12.seemed to step it up. Look how strong he looks there, he looks like

:38:13. > :38:16.he is enjoying himself as wdll, Richie Myler, which is great to see.

:38:17. > :38:20.He got shot out a bit at Warrington but is now opening of a bit and

:38:21. > :38:24.seems to be enjoying himself. They are getting more players back,

:38:25. > :38:29.Catalans, one of those teams again who could push at the end of the

:38:30. > :38:33.season. His partnership, we spoke about this, but that could be really

:38:34. > :38:36.good, couldn't it? I think ht is crucial if you want to be a

:38:37. > :38:40.successful team and have a successful season, you need a good

:38:41. > :38:45.standing between your six and seven. I think by the looks of the clips we

:38:46. > :38:49.saw there, it is a work in progress but they are obviously both

:38:50. > :38:53.fantastically talented individuals. I am expecting big things from both

:38:54. > :38:56.of them this year. Finally, let s find out what happened in the match

:38:57. > :39:02.between St Helens and Castldford on Friday. Sharon has the detahls on

:39:03. > :39:07.this. COMMENTATOR: Castleford havd not won

:39:08. > :39:14.away at St Helens since 1992 but they Tigers took the lead. Opening

:39:15. > :39:19.try was followed up by a successful penalty. It did not take long for

:39:20. > :39:24.Sense to respond. A fortunate ricochet bringing the sense within

:39:25. > :39:37.two here. Handiwork saw thel extend their advantage. Make McMeeken broke

:39:38. > :39:43.through the Saints defence to score. -- Mike. Ben Roberts left the field

:39:44. > :39:47.injured. A smart series of passes eventually found their way to Matty

:39:48. > :39:52.Dawson who muscled over to give his side the lead going into half-time.

:39:53. > :39:56.The Saints coach branded thhs game as a typical epic between the two

:39:57. > :39:59.sides. With a 50th minute pdnalty levelling the scores, the sdesaw

:40:00. > :40:05.nature of the match continudd. Indecision gave the home side the

:40:06. > :40:13.advantage as Dominick Peyrotx cut the high ball and challenged. -

:40:14. > :40:21.caught a high ball and challenged. The second Matty Dawson try left

:40:22. > :40:25.Castleford's season in real jeopardy -- unbeaten season. Adam Miller left

:40:26. > :40:32.both sets of fans on their seats but it was too little too late with

:40:33. > :40:36.Saints securing the points. Where do you think Saints are at? Thdy

:40:37. > :40:41.started really well against you guys. They seem to be picking up

:40:42. > :40:44.again. What do you think? I don t think they are very special at the

:40:45. > :40:48.moment and I think they will want to improve as the season goes on. They

:40:49. > :40:51.have some great players but they are inconsistent. They can't sedm to get

:40:52. > :40:56.themselves into a position where they are playing consistently well

:40:57. > :41:00.all the time. They seem to have peaked and crafts. This gamd was the

:41:01. > :41:10.same. Castleford, though, you would expect a top battle against them

:41:11. > :41:15.they are not an easy beat a Top 14 # Peaks and troughs. They lost three

:41:16. > :41:20.players to that game. Out of is that for a side to deal with? Of his

:41:21. > :41:23.labours in three key influential players will not have helped but I

:41:24. > :41:30.think he did a fantastic job with them. I think they are potentially a

:41:31. > :41:34.top four team and to go to St Helens and run them close, losing place to

:41:35. > :41:39.injury, it shows they are stepping in the right direction and they are

:41:40. > :41:44.a tough team to play. It is funny. Two teams, playing out epics. They

:41:45. > :41:50.seem to have really good gales. Is that just matching styles? H think

:41:51. > :41:53.so. Certain teams find the hit their form at exactly the right thme when

:41:54. > :41:59.they play each other, it is very strange. Castleford beat in for the

:42:00. > :42:05.first time this season. Let's see how the road for results have left

:42:06. > :42:09.things in the table. Three teams separated by a point's diffdrence at

:42:10. > :42:15.the top with Widnes leading the way ahead of Warrington and Wig`n. It is

:42:16. > :42:18.on all north-west top four. The Rhinos first win of the season left

:42:19. > :42:26.them to ninth with Huddersfheld now on the bottom. Wigan faced Leeds on

:42:27. > :42:37.Friday and met five times l`st season, so get used to it! That is

:42:38. > :42:43.it for this week. My thanks to you both for joining

:42:44. > :42:46.us. I look forward to seeing you both out there, guys. We le`ve you

:42:47. > :42:53.with another withdrawal frol the Rugby league memory bank. A

:42:54. > :43:05.Excellent conditions and thd Wigan and Sean Wane.

:43:06. > :43:07.Excellent conditions and thd groundsman worked very hard all

:43:08. > :43:21.week. This is stupid! Wane... He is in! Here is a chance, a good

:43:22. > :43:47.knock-on. Yes! A magnificent pass. Michael Vaughan, I bet he whshes he

:43:48. > :44:01.could have these chances evdry week. Smith. It looks a penalty, `nd he is

:44:02. > :44:06.said of. -- said off. 11 pohnts I think Wigan either worthy whnners.

:44:07. > :44:10.It's a huge weekend of sport, live across the BBC.

:44:11. > :44:24.The FA Cup quarterfinals and round four of the Six Nations.

:44:25. > :44:32.Kicks off with Reading versus Crystal Palace in the FA Cup.

:44:33. > :44:32.You really don't understand family, do you? Not yours, I don't.

:44:33. > :44:33.He talks, he laughs, looks you in the eye, smiles. How's he autistic?
