16/04/2017 Super League Show

If you've enjoyed your Sunday lunch then hopefully you've

still got room to digest the highlights from the biggest

It's the time of the year when local rivals get together

# In a neighbourhood like this, you know it's hard to survive

# So you better come prepared as they won't take us alive

# In my beautiful neighbourhood # My neighbourhood

# My beautiful neighbourhood # My beautiful neighbourhood

# My beautiful neighbourhood. Hopefully, these two will be good

neighbours in the studio this week. Brian Noble is alongside

Robbie Hunter-Paul, both multiple Wigan and St Helens have been

the best of enemies since 1895. They've met more than 300 times,

and watching their latest encounter Always a real intensity to this

fixture, isn't there Wigan boosted by the return of their captain.

Jamahl Lolesi in temporary charge of St Helens after the sacking of

Keiron Cunningham. And a huge crowd of well over 20,000. That's the

kick. Marshall underneath it and safely caught. A high connection

there from Kyle a more. Didn't look good at all. You look at that angle

and he seems to start around the chest. It's a red card! 11 minutes

played, just over, and Kyle Amor is sent off.

St Helens in prime position now. Wigan's defence good. The referee

has given a penalty here for the tackle of the ball. Mark Percival

looking to give us the first points of the Good Friday derby game. The

80 minute pence -- the 18 minute penalty gives Saints the lead.

A pile-up in pursuit of the lovely grubber kick. Burges reclaims it.

What does the referee think? Going to the video replay. He thinks it is

a try. Burges was in there. I think he just about got there first. Wigan

in the lead for the first time. A big draw for McIlorum when he came

onto the field from the bench after that long absence. A penalty. They

turned down one opportunity to go for two points with a penalty

directly under the sticks. This time they go for goal. Lolesi in

conversation with Sean Long, as Wigan take a 6-point lead.

A wonderful little step by Reagan Grace. -- Regan Grace. The youngster

is having a marvellous game, Regan Grace, in this, his debut. He has

helped set a wonderful position for St Helens.

He's got the try. St Helens are right back in this now. What a start

to the second half. Just flailing hand slap at Lee

Marshall. In for the try. A quick response by Wigan. They have the

lead again. Escare goes for the one point here.

Not a bad thing to do. A 7-point lead now.

The youngster strikes! In the fabulous fashion. Regan Grace. He is

having a debut to remember. The Saints fans are loving his input

into this game. That's a terrific finish. His name is being taunted by

the St Helens fans. What a way to start. But there's a moment he will

want to forget. He might have scored a try at one end, but his mistake

here has given Wigan possession back close to the Saints line.

Wigan are a little loose, a little untidy. But they had numbers, and

Farrell used that fact to dummy his way across. Liam Farrell and Wigan

establishing authority again. Marshall for the corner,

acrobatically! There has to be a second look at that, because it was

too tight for the human eye. Has Liam Marshall scored his second of

the game? He thinks he might have done. Oh, my word. The feet are on

the ground, are they? Did the left foot go down or did the ball touched

down first? So close, but I think the ball wins it. The try is given.

What a remarkable finish from Liam Marshall.

A little grubber by Williams. What a catch by Joe Burgess to finish.

Another eye-catching moment in this thrilling derby. They've not given

up. Only about eight minutes left to play, and they have to score three

times. But there's been a very different attitude from St Helens

tonight, certainly from the performance against Huddersfield

last week. Trying to create something here, and they have done.

Makinson's over. Is that too little, too late? In to the count down.

Wigan looking to finish with a flourish there. But it will be

Wigan's Good Friday Victor Ruiz. They stopped the rot of that recent

run of defeats. An eventful week for St Helens with

Keiron Cunningham going. Did you see a different team out there? Jamaal

Lolesi is an attacking player and a mindset, and there's no better Super

League fan to epitomise attacking than Sean Long, so having those two

guys at the helm, trying to breathe life into the team, especially in a

home derby. Did you see them regaining their identity? I don't

think they've lost their identity, they just haven't been playing well.

It gave them a little bit of freedom when it was difficult early in the

game for them. They had nothing to lose. I'm not too sure... They have

been trying to play that way all week, but that loosening of the

strings, a fresh start to difficult circumstances, has had an effect.

The red card Abe big talking point of the game. When we saw it at full

speed, you both winced a bit. Is it one of those ones where when you see

it at full speed, it looks bad, but in slow motion it is different? At

full speed it looks bad. That camera shop there clearly sees he tries to

hit the ball. Open palm. It comes over the head. Thankfully, Escare

isn't injured. It is just one of those situations where the fourth

official could have helped him. Would you have liked him to have

seen him do that? There's been a lot of pressure on referees lately, with

the westward insolent, and Ben Thaler was involved in another

incident. At full speed, he could have said, I'm thinking of him, of

sending him off, what do you think, and he could have come back and said

something else. Nine minutes into the game, all of that atmosphere and

energy, there is an argument that could be said that end sailor gets

caught up in that emotion. -- Ben Thaler. I would have liked to see it

go upstairs, but unless you have been in that situation... It was

Liam Marshall carrying the ball, not Escare. Marshall did bounce back up,

thankfully. Both him and Regan Grace on his debut were highlights. After

taking a shot like that, Marshall went and scored two tries. It is the

best rule change we have ever considered. Every week we have

something on social media about it. He has worked, he has speed, and he

has gone. He took its opportunity. Left foot, right foot... He finishes

his try really well. A little error early on, on debut with those

nerves. But he could not have wished for a better debut. Wigan didn't

know what he could do. They were lazy. They will have to make sure

that they will need to treat him like Justin Carney. Get the mindset,

and take him to zero. Wigan will be pleased to get the win as they have

been on a difficult run. 14 months, did you say. It was great to see

McIlorum back out there. Great to see a player who has had injury and

strife, and to cope with that for over 12 months... Great to see him

back out. The team they're all trying to catch

at the moment are Castleford Tigers. They were two points clear

at the top of the table heading into Easter,

and on Good Friday The commentator for this

one is Stuart Pyke. Wakefield in good form,

winning five of their last six. They have won their last

five against Wakefield. They know how important this game

is, even early on in the The former Castleford

star, Joe Arundel. The golden rule, never

let the ball bounce. Castleford did and

they paid the price. Every time they have the ball

they were dangerous. The ball goes to

the right-hand side. You heard there, possible

obstruction on Fifita. Roberts will get

Castleford's first try. Another promising position

this for the leaders. Roberts scored the first,

he has made the second. Very difficult to stop

on the goal line. After taking the lead,

Wakefield have spent Ball inside from Gale

and a second for Millington. Total control against

their big rivals. They have managed to hold

firm so far in this One of the best wins

in their Super League They get the opening

try of the second half. In the second half,

that is the big surprise. They have restricted Fifita

and might get another try. Wonderful athleticism and it is

surely a try for Jones-Bishop. Top of the pile, eight

wins out of nine. Another incredible tried to end it.

They are just fantastic. You often criticise the administrators, but

they were awesome. They were indeed. Castleford not at their best, but

they won it 42-24 even so. You look at this picture behind us, and there

was a lot of joy on their faces. There's something good going on at

Castleford at this point in time. It's better to turn up and play

badly and win than play well and lose. They are in that sort of form

now. I will not say they played completely badly. They still know

how to get over the try-line. They had a purple patch in the first half

that won them the game. Is that the key? When that purple patch hits,

close them down? You've got to be ready for that. They are extremely

strong. It's going to take a champion team... The team that can

go there and beat them down there is the team that may have the say

towards the end of the season. They play an attractive brand. They know

what they are doing. When they are on a roll, you may be needed to slow

the game down. And playing that ground particularly, you need to

hold your nerve. Andy Lynch is now in his second... His 450th

appearance. As he's grown longer in the tooth, he has added more to his

game. A much smarter player now, great energy, can pass the ball and

take the pressure on himself. He would do all right in a number six

jumper, although prefers being up front. I think he would book a bit.

A frustrating afternoon for Wakefield. It is frustrating as they

have been going pretty well. I can only reinforce the local derby

aspect. You have to be on your game and prepared for 80 minutes of

challenge from this Castleford team. They are on fire.

The only team who can match Castleford's form

They were at home to Leigh on Friday.

Not may points on offer here, Robbie.

What's it like playing in a game with so few tries?

It was an intense game, as can be expected from a local derby. A very

physical game. Leigh turned up. Both teams had key personnel out. Gareth

Hock was missing with a one match ban for the Leigh Centurions. Both

without key players, but they muscled out. It was a really

physical game. The supporters turned out in massive numbers and really

enjoyed themselves. Attacking football, but some big hits were

going on as well. They will be feeling it come this Monday. And a

big improvement for Leigh? It is getting used to that week in, week

out Super League competition. In 11 league, some of the team may have

had a rest. This top level means you are on the game constantly

throughout the season. If you haven't got your best players out

there, it becomes a hard game. The type of game that Salford might have

lost last year. Is that the difference? They have a culture

within the squad where they really enjoy being in each other's company.

That translates onto the field. You can see them around the club itself.

There is a lot of camaraderie going on. That has been translated into

how they play on and the pitch. They play an attractive, advanced Rugby

League. You have got over Brian at fullback

also. These three guys are pivotal to making the strike happen all over

the pitch. You have one when you have Justin Carney there, big

strikers on the edges and muscle in the middle of the park.

One thing missing from the Easter programme this

Fear not though, because we've had a dip into the BBC archives

and found one in the 1981 Premiership Final.

Eddie Waring was behind the microphone for the final time.

They have been playing for 13 minutes.

He's stretching the defence. He scores in the corner. A magnificent

try. It is a tremendous game and a

tremendous crowd. You can see the supporters, still behind the lads. A

bit of a push. The referee needs to be in there very quickly. The sixth

tackle coming up. He goes on his own. Off he goes, and

scores the try. Yes, yes. All the ingredients required. A good try. Is

it going to be one of those finishes? Hull are really going into

this... Hull Kingston Rovers take the trophy. Some brilliant Rugby

League, and what a great advert for Rugby League. Well, there it is. A

great moment. Isn't this wonderful! This is fantastic. Gorgeous. Well,

isn't that wonderful? Bryan, are you missing the Hull

derby? I never played in one, but I get what you are saying. We miss any

big occasion in rugby League. You could see the crowd there.

Absolutely banging. You do miss it. The modern day Hull FC

were at home to Leeds on Friday, with both sides looking to bounce

back from defeats in Round Eight. Just six minutes for the deadlock

to be broken by the visitors. Dives over and opened

the scoring for The The home side responded

with a score of their own. Kelly's kick out wide

collected by Michaels. Impressive leap and finish

levelling the scores. Just five metres,

a long ball to Ryan. He shows to the left

and then goes himself. He is running, dancing,

weaving and stretches out. Developing a stronghold

in the game, Gareth Ellis' arrival helped

the But the visitors

continued to dominate. The visitors gained further ground

but Hull responded in The fullback tearing

through the defence to score A second penalty from Sutcliffe kept

Leeds more than an arm length After a neat passing spell, a dive

gave Hull hope but not for long. It is picked up and The Rhinos

have scored another try. For the second week running,

Hull staring another They will have a point

to prove when they Leeds, though, have

a boost for Widnes. Talking about a lack of confidence,

going into their shell. As simple as missing a couple of players? Halton

is a keeper? Yes. Pivotal to success. -- Houghton. What they are

physical and they are flat without that. They are not quite ready need

to be in the last two on three games. They need to pay attention to

their results. Having won the Challenge Cup, we were expecting

them to move forward. Is there a weight of expectation on Hull?

Always when you have a successful year before. We need to mention that

Leeds are in very good form. Every team will have peaks and troughs.

Hull are in a trough. Leeds are on a peek. They are enjoying themselves.

Moons playing well. Stand-off for Salford. And back in New Zealand.

Hull will have to figure a way out of it. Houghton a key member of the

group. When you have a smart hooker, half-backs will call for the ball.

He knows which one to go with. The Cassini space. I think he plays as

an 80 minute player. Key to have McGuire alongside him? The criticism

last year, they did not have a settled half-backs combination, not

fluent. The two people look on their game. Danny playing regularly is

massively important. Now Huddersfield against Catalan

doesn't quite fit into the theme of derby matches,

but they were quite close Just a point between them,

how are Huddersfield playing They snatched defeat from the jaws

of victory. They were comfortable in the first half. Murphy, the big boy,

he scores. This Catalan team, they are not going to go away. They had

their fullback back. A game of tennis in the first half. A lack of

ball control from the home team. Look at his enthusiasm. He is just

about that try. -- pleased about that try. Every time you thought the

Catalans had gone away, they got two and three scores. Mentioning

Castleford going in to try spurts. They did it, too. The game was won

in the end in the second half. The finishing. Needs to have a word with

the referee. I'm not sure it is the first time for him. He is a

confidence, competitive man. When things are not going your way, you

do display that. He has been upset by something he has said, the

referee. When it comes to Danny, it is a unique situation. It is like

losing two men. He is pivotal. He marshals them. He is a goal kicker.

If he goes off the field for ten minutes, it is like losing two men.

And this man can play multiple positions. He can even play

background. Good ball-handling skills for a guy of his size. He can

see is based. -- see space. But who can he work with to create a good

partnership? Our final match today is the meeting

of Widnes and Warrington. They were the top two

in Super League on Good Friday last year, but this time around

they were the bottom two. Early stages of what should be

a fairly intense battle. In the first minute,

a try and what a start. Having gone behind in

the opening minutes, suddenly They will make sure

he did not drop it. He got away with one last

week, but not today. Gidley.

Going left, great urgency. A drive in by Jullien,

and Gidley at dummy half. Does the video referee

decide that is A subject for debate.

Given the try. Again, close, but it goes

against Warrington this time. A couple of minutes

before half-time. Warrington would desperately

love another score here. A good dig they are having

in this second period. Bridge puts it in and

Runciman puts it down. I think at this stage of the game,

with a couple of minutes to go, Warrington will

settle for two points. They are moments away from

celebrating a second successive win. Five points from their

last three games. Back-to-back wins for Warrington.

What are they doing right. They are a good team in their own half. An

element of execution in attack. They have had to roll this leaves up,

Warrington. They have got two now. Can they make the top four? It is a

tough ask. Anyone who goes on a run can make that top four. In

Took a clatter. That is a heck of a hate. Whiplash. Why have you

smiling? He is watching the attacking player. He has to take on

the speed. And then the man turns up in front of him. He looks after

himself and clears out. The quote, his side are dying for fear, teddy

bear. But you have to try things and get the right balance. They have

played expensively in previous years. When they get their people

back, they will improve, but sometimes you have to grind your way

to results. You learn how to win, you learn how to lose. You have to

grind, work your way out of it and feel your way back. Will the home

from worrying him? They have been good in recent seasons. You have to

give credit to the team is going to play there. Most teams will train on

a similar service beforehand. That has been cruelly taken out of the

occasion -- clearly taken out of the equation. But one of the East that

So part one of the Easter double header is done.

Here's how they stand in the Betfred Super League table.

No changes in position for the bottom four. We get to do this all

again on Easter Monday night. The highlight of round cairn. -- ten.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Thanks to Brian and Robbie. We'll

see you on bank holiday Monday. Goodbye.
