:00:40. > :00:42.still got room to digest the highlights from the biggest
:00:43. > :00:46.It's the time of the year when local rivals get together
:00:47. > :01:17.# In a neighbourhood like this, you know it's hard to survive
:01:18. > :01:23.# So you better come prepared as they won't take us alive

:01:32. > :01:36.# My beautiful neighbourhood. Hopefully, these two will be good
:01:37. > :01:39.neighbours in the studio this week. Brian Noble is alongside
:01:40. > :01:41.Robbie Hunter-Paul, both multiple Wigan and St Helens have been
:01:42. > :01:48.the best of enemies since 1895. They've met more than 300 times,
:01:49. > :02:06.and watching their latest encounter Always a real intensity to this
:02:07. > :02:14.fixture, isn't there Wigan boosted by the return of their captain.
:02:15. > :02:17.Jamahl Lolesi in temporary charge of St Helens after the sacking of
:02:18. > :02:25.Keiron Cunningham. And a huge crowd of well over 20,000. That's the
:02:26. > :02:32.kick. Marshall underneath it and safely caught. A high connection
:02:33. > :02:40.there from Kyle a more. Didn't look good at all. You look at that angle
:02:41. > :02:47.and he seems to start around the chest. It's a red card! 11 minutes
:02:48. > :02:55.played, just over, and Kyle Amor is sent off.
:02:56. > :03:18.St Helens in prime position now. Wigan's defence good. The referee
:03:19. > :03:27.has given a penalty here for the tackle of the ball. Mark Percival
:03:28. > :03:35.looking to give us the first points of the Good Friday derby game. The
:03:36. > :03:49.80 minute pence -- the 18 minute penalty gives Saints the lead.
:03:50. > :03:59.A pile-up in pursuit of the lovely grubber kick. Burges reclaims it.
:04:00. > :04:08.What does the referee think? Going to the video replay. He thinks it is
:04:09. > :04:16.a try. Burges was in there. I think he just about got there first. Wigan
:04:17. > :04:34.in the lead for the first time. A big draw for McIlorum when he came
:04:35. > :04:43.onto the field from the bench after that long absence. A penalty. They
:04:44. > :04:47.turned down one opportunity to go for two points with a penalty
:04:48. > :04:54.directly under the sticks. This time they go for goal. Lolesi in
:04:55. > :05:04.conversation with Sean Long, as Wigan take a 6-point lead.
:05:05. > :05:15.A wonderful little step by Reagan Grace. -- Regan Grace. The youngster
:05:16. > :05:21.is having a marvellous game, Regan Grace, in this, his debut. He has
:05:22. > :05:46.helped set a wonderful position for St Helens.
:05:47. > :05:50.He's got the try. St Helens are right back in this now. What a start
:05:51. > :06:24.to the second half. Just flailing hand slap at Lee
:06:25. > :06:26.Marshall. In for the try. A quick response by Wigan. They have the
:06:27. > :06:54.lead again. Escare goes for the one point here.
:06:55. > :07:13.Not a bad thing to do. A 7-point lead now.
:07:14. > :07:24.The youngster strikes! In the fabulous fashion. Regan Grace. He is
:07:25. > :07:32.having a debut to remember. The Saints fans are loving his input
:07:33. > :07:38.into this game. That's a terrific finish. His name is being taunted by
:07:39. > :07:44.the St Helens fans. What a way to start. But there's a moment he will
:07:45. > :07:51.want to forget. He might have scored a try at one end, but his mistake
:07:52. > :08:08.here has given Wigan possession back close to the Saints line.
:08:09. > :08:17.Wigan are a little loose, a little untidy. But they had numbers, and
:08:18. > :08:21.Farrell used that fact to dummy his way across. Liam Farrell and Wigan
:08:22. > :08:38.establishing authority again. Marshall for the corner,
:08:39. > :08:44.acrobatically! There has to be a second look at that, because it was
:08:45. > :08:49.too tight for the human eye. Has Liam Marshall scored his second of
:08:50. > :08:58.the game? He thinks he might have done. Oh, my word. The feet are on
:08:59. > :09:03.the ground, are they? Did the left foot go down or did the ball touched
:09:04. > :09:08.down first? So close, but I think the ball wins it. The try is given.
:09:09. > :09:24.What a remarkable finish from Liam Marshall.
:09:25. > :09:43.A little grubber by Williams. What a catch by Joe Burgess to finish.
:09:44. > :09:52.Another eye-catching moment in this thrilling derby. They've not given
:09:53. > :09:57.up. Only about eight minutes left to play, and they have to score three
:09:58. > :10:02.times. But there's been a very different attitude from St Helens
:10:03. > :10:05.tonight, certainly from the performance against Huddersfield
:10:06. > :10:12.last week. Trying to create something here, and they have done.
:10:13. > :10:26.Makinson's over. Is that too little, too late? In to the count down.
:10:27. > :10:38.Wigan looking to finish with a flourish there. But it will be
:10:39. > :10:40.Wigan's Good Friday Victor Ruiz. They stopped the rot of that recent
:10:41. > :10:52.run of defeats. An eventful week for St Helens with
:10:53. > :10:59.Keiron Cunningham going. Did you see a different team out there? Jamaal
:11:00. > :11:05.Lolesi is an attacking player and a mindset, and there's no better Super
:11:06. > :11:10.League fan to epitomise attacking than Sean Long, so having those two
:11:11. > :11:17.guys at the helm, trying to breathe life into the team, especially in a
:11:18. > :11:21.home derby. Did you see them regaining their identity? I don't
:11:22. > :11:29.think they've lost their identity, they just haven't been playing well.
:11:30. > :11:32.It gave them a little bit of freedom when it was difficult early in the
:11:33. > :11:40.game for them. They had nothing to lose. I'm not too sure... They have
:11:41. > :11:45.been trying to play that way all week, but that loosening of the
:11:46. > :11:50.strings, a fresh start to difficult circumstances, has had an effect.
:11:51. > :11:56.The red card Abe big talking point of the game. When we saw it at full
:11:57. > :12:00.speed, you both winced a bit. Is it one of those ones where when you see
:12:01. > :12:07.it at full speed, it looks bad, but in slow motion it is different? At
:12:08. > :12:14.full speed it looks bad. That camera shop there clearly sees he tries to
:12:15. > :12:18.hit the ball. Open palm. It comes over the head. Thankfully, Escare
:12:19. > :12:24.isn't injured. It is just one of those situations where the fourth
:12:25. > :12:33.official could have helped him. Would you have liked him to have
:12:34. > :12:38.seen him do that? There's been a lot of pressure on referees lately, with
:12:39. > :12:44.the westward insolent, and Ben Thaler was involved in another
:12:45. > :12:52.incident. At full speed, he could have said, I'm thinking of him, of
:12:53. > :12:56.sending him off, what do you think, and he could have come back and said
:12:57. > :13:00.something else. Nine minutes into the game, all of that atmosphere and
:13:01. > :13:05.energy, there is an argument that could be said that end sailor gets
:13:06. > :13:16.caught up in that emotion. -- Ben Thaler. I would have liked to see it
:13:17. > :13:23.go upstairs, but unless you have been in that situation... It was
:13:24. > :13:34.Liam Marshall carrying the ball, not Escare. Marshall did bounce back up,
:13:35. > :13:38.thankfully. Both him and Regan Grace on his debut were highlights. After
:13:39. > :13:43.taking a shot like that, Marshall went and scored two tries. It is the
:13:44. > :13:53.best rule change we have ever considered. Every week we have
:13:54. > :14:00.something on social media about it. He has worked, he has speed, and he
:14:01. > :14:07.has gone. He took its opportunity. Left foot, right foot... He finishes
:14:08. > :14:12.his try really well. A little error early on, on debut with those
:14:13. > :14:19.nerves. But he could not have wished for a better debut. Wigan didn't
:14:20. > :14:24.know what he could do. They were lazy. They will have to make sure
:14:25. > :14:30.that they will need to treat him like Justin Carney. Get the mindset,
:14:31. > :14:39.and take him to zero. Wigan will be pleased to get the win as they have
:14:40. > :14:46.been on a difficult run. 14 months, did you say. It was great to see
:14:47. > :14:51.McIlorum back out there. Great to see a player who has had injury and
:14:52. > :14:53.strife, and to cope with that for over 12 months... Great to see him
:14:54. > :14:58.back out. The team they're all trying to catch
:14:59. > :15:01.at the moment are Castleford Tigers. They were two points clear
:15:02. > :15:04.at the top of the table heading into Easter,
:15:05. > :15:06.and on Good Friday The commentator for this
:15:07. > :15:10.one is Stuart Pyke. Wakefield in good form,
:15:11. > :15:14.winning five of their last six. They have won their last
:15:15. > :15:18.five against Wakefield. They know how important this game
:15:19. > :15:27.is, even early on in the The former Castleford
:15:28. > :15:32.star, Joe Arundel. The golden rule, never
:15:33. > :15:46.let the ball bounce. Castleford did and
:15:47. > :15:58.they paid the price. Every time they have the ball
:15:59. > :16:01.they were dangerous. The ball goes to
:16:02. > :16:08.the right-hand side. You heard there, possible
:16:09. > :16:34.obstruction on Fifita. Roberts will get
:16:35. > :16:54.Castleford's first try. Another promising position
:16:55. > :17:11.this for the leaders. Roberts scored the first,
:17:12. > :17:24.he has made the second. Very difficult to stop
:17:25. > :17:45.on the goal line. After taking the lead,
:17:46. > :18:37.Wakefield have spent Ball inside from Gale
:18:38. > :19:15.and a second for Millington. Total control against
:19:16. > :19:19.their big rivals. They have managed to hold
:19:20. > :19:49.firm so far in this One of the best wins
:19:50. > :20:06.in their Super League They get the opening
:20:07. > :20:14.try of the second half. In the second half,
:20:15. > :20:23.that is the big surprise. They have restricted Fifita
:20:24. > :20:54.and might get another try. Wonderful athleticism and it is
:20:55. > :21:11.surely a try for Jones-Bishop. Top of the pile, eight
:21:12. > :21:33.wins out of nine. Another incredible tried to end it.
:21:34. > :21:40.They are just fantastic. You often criticise the administrators, but
:21:41. > :21:47.they were awesome. They were indeed. Castleford not at their best, but
:21:48. > :21:51.they won it 42-24 even so. You look at this picture behind us, and there
:21:52. > :21:56.was a lot of joy on their faces. There's something good going on at
:21:57. > :22:00.Castleford at this point in time. It's better to turn up and play
:22:01. > :22:06.badly and win than play well and lose. They are in that sort of form
:22:07. > :22:10.now. I will not say they played completely badly. They still know
:22:11. > :22:15.how to get over the try-line. They had a purple patch in the first half
:22:16. > :22:19.that won them the game. Is that the key? When that purple patch hits,
:22:20. > :22:27.close them down? You've got to be ready for that. They are extremely
:22:28. > :22:32.strong. It's going to take a champion team... The team that can
:22:33. > :22:36.go there and beat them down there is the team that may have the say
:22:37. > :22:40.towards the end of the season. They play an attractive brand. They know
:22:41. > :22:46.what they are doing. When they are on a roll, you may be needed to slow
:22:47. > :22:53.the game down. And playing that ground particularly, you need to
:22:54. > :23:06.hold your nerve. Andy Lynch is now in his second... His 450th
:23:07. > :23:11.appearance. As he's grown longer in the tooth, he has added more to his
:23:12. > :23:16.game. A much smarter player now, great energy, can pass the ball and
:23:17. > :23:20.take the pressure on himself. He would do all right in a number six
:23:21. > :23:26.jumper, although prefers being up front. I think he would book a bit.
:23:27. > :23:33.A frustrating afternoon for Wakefield. It is frustrating as they
:23:34. > :23:38.have been going pretty well. I can only reinforce the local derby
:23:39. > :23:42.aspect. You have to be on your game and prepared for 80 minutes of
:23:43. > :23:45.challenge from this Castleford team. They are on fire.
:23:46. > :23:47.The only team who can match Castleford's form
:23:48. > :23:51.They were at home to Leigh on Friday.
:23:52. > :23:52.Not may points on offer here, Robbie.
:23:53. > :23:54.What's it like playing in a game with so few tries?
:23:55. > :24:05.It was an intense game, as can be expected from a local derby. A very
:24:06. > :24:12.physical game. Leigh turned up. Both teams had key personnel out. Gareth
:24:13. > :24:18.Hock was missing with a one match ban for the Leigh Centurions. Both
:24:19. > :24:23.without key players, but they muscled out. It was a really
:24:24. > :24:27.physical game. The supporters turned out in massive numbers and really
:24:28. > :24:32.enjoyed themselves. Attacking football, but some big hits were
:24:33. > :24:39.going on as well. They will be feeling it come this Monday. And a
:24:40. > :24:46.big improvement for Leigh? It is getting used to that week in, week
:24:47. > :24:52.out Super League competition. In 11 league, some of the team may have
:24:53. > :24:55.had a rest. This top level means you are on the game constantly
:24:56. > :25:02.throughout the season. If you haven't got your best players out
:25:03. > :25:06.there, it becomes a hard game. The type of game that Salford might have
:25:07. > :25:10.lost last year. Is that the difference? They have a culture
:25:11. > :25:15.within the squad where they really enjoy being in each other's company.
:25:16. > :25:21.That translates onto the field. You can see them around the club itself.
:25:22. > :25:28.There is a lot of camaraderie going on. That has been translated into
:25:29. > :25:29.how they play on and the pitch. They play an attractive, advanced Rugby
:25:30. > :25:49.League. You have got over Brian at fullback
:25:50. > :25:53.also. These three guys are pivotal to making the strike happen all over
:25:54. > :26:00.the pitch. You have one when you have Justin Carney there, big
:26:01. > :26:04.strikers on the edges and muscle in the middle of the park.
:26:05. > :26:06.One thing missing from the Easter programme this
:26:07. > :26:10.Fear not though, because we've had a dip into the BBC archives
:26:11. > :26:12.and found one in the 1981 Premiership Final.
:26:13. > :26:22.Eddie Waring was behind the microphone for the final time.
:26:23. > :26:25.They have been playing for 13 minutes.
:26:26. > :27:00.He's stretching the defence. He scores in the corner. A magnificent
:27:01. > :27:13.try. It is a tremendous game and a
:27:14. > :27:25.tremendous crowd. You can see the supporters, still behind the lads. A
:27:26. > :27:29.bit of a push. The referee needs to be in there very quickly. The sixth
:27:30. > :27:53.tackle coming up. He goes on his own. Off he goes, and
:27:54. > :27:59.scores the try. Yes, yes. All the ingredients required. A good try. Is
:28:00. > :28:12.it going to be one of those finishes? Hull are really going into
:28:13. > :28:16.this... Hull Kingston Rovers take the trophy. Some brilliant Rugby
:28:17. > :28:30.League, and what a great advert for Rugby League. Well, there it is. A
:28:31. > :28:35.great moment. Isn't this wonderful! This is fantastic. Gorgeous. Well,
:28:36. > :28:48.isn't that wonderful? Bryan, are you missing the Hull
:28:49. > :28:55.derby? I never played in one, but I get what you are saying. We miss any
:28:56. > :28:57.big occasion in rugby League. You could see the crowd there.
:28:58. > :29:02.Absolutely banging. You do miss it. The modern day Hull FC
:29:03. > :29:05.were at home to Leeds on Friday, with both sides looking to bounce
:29:06. > :29:11.back from defeats in Round Eight. Just six minutes for the deadlock
:29:12. > :29:20.to be broken by the visitors. Dives over and opened
:29:21. > :29:25.the scoring for The The home side responded
:29:26. > :29:30.with a score of their own. Kelly's kick out wide
:29:31. > :29:33.collected by Michaels. Impressive leap and finish
:29:34. > :29:40.levelling the scores. Just five metres,
:29:41. > :29:45.a long ball to Ryan. He shows to the left
:29:46. > :29:55.and then goes himself. He is running, dancing,
:29:56. > :30:13.weaving and stretches out. Developing a stronghold
:30:14. > :30:24.in the game, Gareth Ellis' arrival helped
:30:25. > :30:27.the But the visitors
:30:28. > :30:41.continued to dominate. The visitors gained further ground
:30:42. > :30:53.but Hull responded in The fullback tearing
:30:54. > :30:56.through the defence to score A second penalty from Sutcliffe kept
:30:57. > :31:04.Leeds more than an arm length After a neat passing spell, a dive
:31:05. > :31:14.gave Hull hope but not for long. It is picked up and The Rhinos
:31:15. > :31:28.have scored another try. For the second week running,
:31:29. > :31:30.Hull staring another They will have a point
:31:31. > :31:34.to prove when they Leeds, though, have
:31:35. > :32:02.a boost for Widnes. Talking about a lack of confidence,
:32:03. > :32:07.going into their shell. As simple as missing a couple of players? Halton
:32:08. > :32:19.is a keeper? Yes. Pivotal to success. -- Houghton. What they are
:32:20. > :32:26.physical and they are flat without that. They are not quite ready need
:32:27. > :32:33.to be in the last two on three games. They need to pay attention to
:32:34. > :32:37.their results. Having won the Challenge Cup, we were expecting
:32:38. > :32:43.them to move forward. Is there a weight of expectation on Hull?
:32:44. > :32:53.Always when you have a successful year before. We need to mention that
:32:54. > :33:02.Leeds are in very good form. Every team will have peaks and troughs.
:33:03. > :33:13.Hull are in a trough. Leeds are on a peek. They are enjoying themselves.
:33:14. > :33:22.Moons playing well. Stand-off for Salford. And back in New Zealand.
:33:23. > :33:31.Hull will have to figure a way out of it. Houghton a key member of the
:33:32. > :33:37.group. When you have a smart hooker, half-backs will call for the ball.
:33:38. > :33:47.He knows which one to go with. The Cassini space. I think he plays as
:33:48. > :33:54.an 80 minute player. Key to have McGuire alongside him? The criticism
:33:55. > :34:00.last year, they did not have a settled half-backs combination, not
:34:01. > :34:04.fluent. The two people look on their game. Danny playing regularly is
:34:05. > :34:07.massively important. Now Huddersfield against Catalan
:34:08. > :34:09.doesn't quite fit into the theme of derby matches,
:34:10. > :34:11.but they were quite close Just a point between them,
:34:12. > :34:24.how are Huddersfield playing They snatched defeat from the jaws
:34:25. > :34:36.of victory. They were comfortable in the first half. Murphy, the big boy,
:34:37. > :34:46.he scores. This Catalan team, they are not going to go away. They had
:34:47. > :34:50.their fullback back. A game of tennis in the first half. A lack of
:34:51. > :35:08.ball control from the home team. Look at his enthusiasm. He is just
:35:09. > :35:15.about that try. -- pleased about that try. Every time you thought the
:35:16. > :35:26.Catalans had gone away, they got two and three scores. Mentioning
:35:27. > :35:31.Castleford going in to try spurts. They did it, too. The game was won
:35:32. > :35:43.in the end in the second half. The finishing. Needs to have a word with
:35:44. > :35:52.the referee. I'm not sure it is the first time for him. He is a
:35:53. > :35:59.confidence, competitive man. When things are not going your way, you
:36:00. > :36:09.do display that. He has been upset by something he has said, the
:36:10. > :36:17.referee. When it comes to Danny, it is a unique situation. It is like
:36:18. > :36:26.losing two men. He is pivotal. He marshals them. He is a goal kicker.
:36:27. > :36:37.If he goes off the field for ten minutes, it is like losing two men.
:36:38. > :36:43.And this man can play multiple positions. He can even play
:36:44. > :36:53.background. Good ball-handling skills for a guy of his size. He can
:36:54. > :36:55.see is based. -- see space. But who can he work with to create a good
:36:56. > :36:57.partnership? Our final match today is the meeting
:36:58. > :37:00.of Widnes and Warrington. They were the top two
:37:01. > :37:02.in Super League on Good Friday last year, but this time around
:37:03. > :37:05.they were the bottom two. Early stages of what should be
:37:06. > :37:13.a fairly intense battle. In the first minute,
:37:14. > :37:32.a try and what a start. Having gone behind in
:37:33. > :38:06.the opening minutes, suddenly They will make sure
:38:07. > :38:31.he did not drop it. He got away with one last
:38:32. > :38:48.week, but not today. Gidley.
:38:49. > :38:51.Going left, great urgency. A drive in by Jullien,
:38:52. > :38:53.and Gidley at dummy half. Does the video referee
:38:54. > :39:33.decide that is A subject for debate.
:39:34. > :39:43.Given the try. Again, close, but it goes
:39:44. > :40:15.against Warrington this time. A couple of minutes
:40:16. > :40:17.before half-time. Warrington would desperately
:40:18. > :40:20.love another score here. A good dig they are having
:40:21. > :40:46.in this second period. Bridge puts it in and
:40:47. > :41:06.Runciman puts it down. I think at this stage of the game,
:41:07. > :41:22.with a couple of minutes to go, Warrington will
:41:23. > :41:26.settle for two points. They are moments away from
:41:27. > :41:34.celebrating a second successive win. Five points from their
:41:35. > :41:53.last three games. Back-to-back wins for Warrington.
:41:54. > :41:58.What are they doing right. They are a good team in their own half. An
:41:59. > :42:06.element of execution in attack. They have had to roll this leaves up,
:42:07. > :42:15.Warrington. They have got two now. Can they make the top four? It is a
:42:16. > :42:25.tough ask. Anyone who goes on a run can make that top four. In
:42:26. > :42:43.Took a clatter. That is a heck of a hate. Whiplash. Why have you
:42:44. > :42:50.smiling? He is watching the attacking player. He has to take on
:42:51. > :43:04.the speed. And then the man turns up in front of him. He looks after
:43:05. > :43:16.himself and clears out. The quote, his side are dying for fear, teddy
:43:17. > :43:20.bear. But you have to try things and get the right balance. They have
:43:21. > :43:26.played expensively in previous years. When they get their people
:43:27. > :43:30.back, they will improve, but sometimes you have to grind your way
:43:31. > :43:39.to results. You learn how to win, you learn how to lose. You have to
:43:40. > :43:46.grind, work your way out of it and feel your way back. Will the home
