:00:39. > :00:48.Hello, we have hit the halfway mark in the first part of a Super League
:00:49. > :00:51.season and we have hit the road! It is Salford, and dated your
:00:52. > :00:56.turnaround for the Red Devils this year, last season they survived by
:00:57. > :01:04.the skin of their teeth... Drop goal from the start, has O'Brien got it?
:01:05. > :01:22.He has! In 2017, it has been so far, so good. But. Numbers here now... --
:01:23. > :01:27.so good for Salford. What a finish! Sending it away, and he goes for a
:01:28. > :01:33.try! It sums up the day, Salford are absolutely dominant. O'Brien goes
:01:34. > :01:38.for a drop goal! Putting the ball between the sticks! A lovely kick
:01:39. > :01:49.from Louis! The Red Devils are scoring! Salford in total control.
:01:50. > :01:54.Salford play Widnes today, building up to kick-off, Todd Carney and Mark
:01:55. > :01:58.Flanagan join us. How are you enjoying life insulted? It is good,
:01:59. > :02:03.as we mentioned before, it is a similar feel to Canberra. It's not
:02:04. > :02:08.an issue for me, the weather, the club is good and the boys have
:02:09. > :02:11.welcomed me here well. An unfortunate few weeks where I have
:02:12. > :02:17.been out with injury but hopefully I will be back sooner rather than
:02:18. > :02:21.later. Mart, so far so good for Salford this season compared to the
:02:22. > :02:26.last? Yes, that Million Pound Game was a kick up the backside for us,
:02:27. > :02:32.we don't want to be in that position again. We've been unlucky with
:02:33. > :02:35.injuries but hit good form. We are halfway and can play good rugby
:02:36. > :02:41.towards the end of the season and I think we will be OK. Todd, what
:02:42. > :02:45.atmosphere did you walk into, a tight-knit group of guys? Yes, it
:02:46. > :02:51.took a while to get the deal done here but I'm speaking to the players
:02:52. > :02:56.from various clubs before, like Dobson and Justin Carney, they said
:02:57. > :03:00.that as the main thing about the group, it's a tight grip and when I
:03:01. > :03:07.got here I noticed that. After a couple of months I've noticed it is
:03:08. > :03:12.a tight group but like every club you feel there is a good group and
:03:13. > :03:17.on the field, the boys sticking the games and are well in the Docklands.
:03:18. > :03:22.You are a month a group of very creative players, on the pitch you
:03:23. > :03:27.do you decide who does what? It's general advice from Dobson, we've
:03:28. > :03:30.been lucky when we got onto the field, mixing them altogether.
:03:31. > :03:36.Hopefully we can continue to do that, I can come off the bench and
:03:37. > :03:40.it has been a blessing. Mark, when you started out the season it was in
:03:41. > :03:46.the Million Pound Game, are you looking at the top four and thinking
:03:47. > :03:50.you can be in this? Yes, on our day we can beat anybody. We are an
:03:51. > :03:56.ambitious club and group of players. Looking at the top eight and top
:03:57. > :04:03.four. I think without the team spirit with God, it can take as
:04:04. > :04:13.anywhere. -- team spirit that we have got. Thank you for joining us,
:04:14. > :04:18.Todd, we would like to see you soon back in the game.
:04:19. > :04:23.Now, time for Castleford and Wigan. COMMENTATOR: A shift to the left
:04:24. > :04:28.edge... Shenton spirals into the space, can he get away? Away to Luke
:04:29. > :04:34.Gale, inside to the line come he had to get it. Quick play of the ball,
:04:35. > :04:46.Adam Milner goes to the line! He touches down for Castleford. Jesse
:04:47. > :04:52.Sene-Lefao... Shenton takes the ball from Greg Eden and dives into the
:04:53. > :05:02.corner. What a start! Hardacre running into a cul-de-sac. A big one
:05:03. > :05:10.as well. A bit of afters... The referee stopping the clock. Still
:05:11. > :05:16.making his point to Robert Hicks here. The penalty goes the way of
:05:17. > :05:23.Castleford. He gets ten minutes in the sin-bin, the last thing we need
:05:24. > :05:34.is the loss of a big front rower like Frank Nuuausala. Luke Gale puts
:05:35. > :05:39.it through nicely. Wigan are enjoying a little purple patch here.
:05:40. > :05:44.He finds the gap in the line! And he goes through to score. We can have a
:05:45. > :05:56.response! Sam Powell, would that be the spark?
:05:57. > :06:04.Julian Moores comes off the bench in typical fashion, scattering the
:06:05. > :06:13.defenders. McShane to Matt Kirk, to back then, and somehow, in the pile
:06:14. > :06:18.of bodies, he has got the ball down! A lovely wraparound play there,
:06:19. > :06:22.putting Shenton into space. When the ball goes loose, it is in
:06:23. > :06:30.Castleford's way. Greg Eden takes the ball across the line, McMeekin
:06:31. > :06:34.steps back into the field. The gap opens up in front of him, and Ryan
:06:35. > :06:45.McMeekin strike through for Castleford! Lowing Wigan away. --
:06:46. > :06:49.blowing Wigan away. George Williams has gone off injured, they could
:06:50. > :06:55.have done with him. Luke Gale offering that kind of skill for
:06:56. > :07:02.Castleford, he is nearly there, look at that! Swinging on. Robert Hicks
:07:03. > :07:09.has no option, but to send the Frenchman into the sin-bin. In
:07:10. > :07:21.discipline, punishing Wigan. Massey prizes his way through. Wigan are on
:07:22. > :07:28.red alert. MacShane is chasing, a looping ball to the right hand
:07:29. > :07:35.side... Greg Minikin touching down in the corner! Castleford working
:07:36. > :07:39.the ball beautifully, Grant Millington passing back to Luke
:07:40. > :07:44.Gale, and Luke Gale is sauntering through again! Through one-way
:07:45. > :07:50.traffic... A little kick early on for MacShane, it goes back into
:07:51. > :08:02.zero, and Paul McShane going through... To Grant Millington! It
:08:03. > :08:14.is party time in the Jungle! Jake Webster. They cannot stop play, this
:08:15. > :08:18.Castleford Tigers side going through the gears, McMeekin gets away to
:08:19. > :08:28.Webster on this right side... Too strong! And barrelling over. Almost
:08:29. > :08:32.up to 50. It has been a complete and utter demolition here. As McMeekin
:08:33. > :08:41.strides into the space. Will Zak Hardaker getting to work -- get into
:08:42. > :08:46.the scoresheet? Who is going to stop these Castleford Tigers? What we
:08:47. > :08:52.were looking for, I did not expect us to get away from Wigan like that
:08:53. > :08:56.but we have lost a smack straight. You start with a fair bit of depth,
:08:57. > :09:00.I am delighted with how the players have gone about their work tonight.
:09:01. > :09:09.They were superb from start to finish. We got beat last year at
:09:10. > :09:16.Castleford, but the players, you know, no excuses from others about
:09:17. > :09:23.the personnel. We got absolutely schools. -- we got absolutely
:09:24. > :09:33.schools, we will show fire next week. We are joined by Denis Betts,
:09:34. > :09:37.the Widnes Head Coach. That was an eye-catching scoreline? Yes, one
:09:38. > :09:41.that you do not expect for two high-flying sides in a top of the
:09:42. > :09:49.table coach but that is the kind of form that Castleford can get. If
:09:50. > :09:53.they get you on the robes. Are you scratching your head about that?
:09:54. > :09:58.There's no real pattern to this year? Every team on their day is
:09:59. > :10:02.capable of beating the other, we aim for that when we start the Super
:10:03. > :10:07.League, but Castleford, they can add some source to their performance,
:10:08. > :10:11.they are good in the Jungle, they can do that for any team. In that
:10:12. > :10:15.style of football that they play, if you are not ready for the field and
:10:16. > :10:20.the day, you can go second best as they did yesterday. With you're in
:10:21. > :10:24.and had on, losing George Williams, how big a blow is it for the England
:10:25. > :10:30.team? Significant, his form this year has been outstanding, and
:10:31. > :10:34.Gareth has been in sensational form on both sides of the world. Both of
:10:35. > :10:43.them injured is a blow for the selection. We have players in the
:10:44. > :10:49.squad, Kevin Brown contributed well, he is still in the England squad, a
:10:50. > :10:52.big part in the early part of the year, it's an opportunity for Kevin
:10:53. > :10:56.to go to Australia and play in the team. You come here in better
:10:57. > :11:05.spirits than in recent weeks, how tough has this season been? When we
:11:06. > :11:12.lost Kevin in races and we knew that it would be tough. -- in the
:11:13. > :11:20.preseason. We lost both of our nines. We were battered around the
:11:21. > :11:26.place with significant market players. We are in the similar place
:11:27. > :11:30.as other clubs. If they come out of Easter a little jaded and beaten up.
:11:31. > :11:34.I remember Brian telling me years ago when he was having a tough time
:11:35. > :11:39.with Bradford, when you are losing it is a lonely place to be. You go
:11:40. > :11:43.through every emotion there is in the game, how relieved where you at
:11:44. > :11:48.the end of last week? You ride a roller-coaster with players. You
:11:49. > :11:55.need to stand and watch and let them play as a coach. Things don't come
:11:56. > :12:01.across on paper on the pitch. We had a roller-coaster this year, we
:12:02. > :12:06.handled it pretty well. Internally we are really strong and a good
:12:07. > :12:18.group. Brian, you are nodding away. Tennis is an experienced coach but
:12:19. > :12:23.it is tough? -- Denis. You cannot quite base your whole season on the
:12:24. > :12:29.winning and losing ratios, but sometimes the ball directors can ask
:12:30. > :12:33.questions. As long as Denis Betts has the answers here, as you clearly
:12:34. > :12:36.indicated, at the start of the year you build the season around
:12:37. > :12:39.particular personnel and they are not there, it is difficult to
:12:40. > :12:44.replace them overnight. You need to hold your nerve. White bag lets look
:12:45. > :12:48.back at the rest of the week, Warrington looking for their sixth
:12:49. > :12:54.successive win the other night, let's go over to our commentator.
:12:55. > :12:59.The night dedicated to the memory of Jack Harrison, marking 100 years
:13:00. > :13:00.since his death. A record try scorer, Andy Victoria Cross war hero
:13:01. > :13:23.as well. -- and a Victoria Cross war hero.
:13:24. > :13:28.That kick looked inch perfect from Marc Sneyd! A wonderful take by Jake
:13:29. > :13:38.Connor for the first try of the game. Barely two minutes played.
:13:39. > :13:43.Danny wash Burke -- Danny Washbrook, stepping back towards the middle
:13:44. > :13:48.here. The Warrington defence doing their job at the moment, but again,
:13:49. > :14:02.Danny wash Burke. -- Danny Washbrook. Mahe Fonua, with a ball
:14:03. > :14:08.dosing effort. Managing to score. They will get some pace on here
:14:09. > :14:14.through Ryan Atkins. Kurt Gidley waiting to deliver. Towards the
:14:15. > :14:21.right-hand side... What a wonderful pass from Ratchford! And Matty
:14:22. > :14:25.Russell, to score in the corner, really well executed, that
:14:26. > :14:28.Warrington try. Redford will be reasonably content with what he sees
:14:29. > :14:35.so far. Warrington creating resistance here. Ryan Atkins,
:14:36. > :14:44.staying down. Clearly in some trouble here. He does not luck happy
:14:45. > :14:50.with somebody... Have a look at that. Is that a chicken wing tackle?
:14:51. > :14:56.Gray dangerous contact, your armies in a dangerous position. An
:14:57. > :15:03.automatic yellow. A sin-bin for the dangerous contact. There, you can
:15:04. > :15:10.see the leveraged of his arm, the lead has reduced Hull to ten men for
:15:11. > :15:14.the next few minutes. Warrington have a wonderful position to work
:15:15. > :15:19.from here. Kurt Gidley wants to get on with it again. Ashton Sims, with
:15:20. > :15:28.a smashing effort. Three defenders in his face, Hull fans trying to
:15:29. > :15:34.lift the spirit of their side, but it is the former Green man
:15:35. > :15:42.-- Hull man who manages to score. Westbrook switching it towards the
:15:43. > :15:49.middle. It's the chance for Warrington to get it back. And it is
:15:50. > :15:55.a penalty! A penalty for the structure. The referee decides. The
:15:56. > :15:59.ball goes down, Kurt Gidley is accused of holding back Danny
:16:00. > :16:04.Washbrook. Marc Sneyd with the chance to cap this first half for
:16:05. > :16:14.Hull with another two points. Giving the side a 4-point lead. 14-10.
:16:15. > :16:20.Wonderfully poised at the start of the second half. Hull punching out
:16:21. > :16:25.to a big 12-0 lead but Warrington have got themselves back in the
:16:26. > :16:31.contest. Look at this from Joe Philbin! There he goes, this could
:16:32. > :16:36.be astonishing! Joe Philbin, over the 20 metre mark and is eventually
:16:37. > :16:41.dragged down by Jamie Shaul. What a break that was. Right at the start
:16:42. > :16:46.of the second half. Warrington are in prime position here. If they can
:16:47. > :16:59.score now, what a comeback that would have been! Almost picking his
:17:00. > :17:08.way through... Just held up. Within touching distance of the Hull line,
:17:09. > :17:13.back he comes again... He is over! The referee wants to see this again,
:17:14. > :17:18.he thinks that it is a try, but possible obstruction is what they
:17:19. > :17:22.are looking at, it is the man who started it, Joe Philbin, making
:17:23. > :17:27.contact with Marc Sneyd as he goes through the line. It's not a try.
:17:28. > :17:37.But what a start to this second period. Looking left again, plenty
:17:38. > :17:48.to the right, Hull lining up on the left-hand side, mini cello takes it
:17:49. > :17:52.in. -- Mark Minichiello. A little step by Marc Sneyd, going out
:17:53. > :18:03.towards Connor... Jamie Shaul puts it down. They are celebrating and
:18:04. > :18:15.the referee gives it. Surviving a scare at one end, and a try at the
:18:16. > :18:23.other. Washbrook... The referee gives a penalty, given against Evans
:18:24. > :18:30.for two much of an effort here. A decision that he was making, to get
:18:31. > :18:38.up and play with it as quickly as he could. Marc Sneyd with a kick where,
:18:39. > :18:51.if successful could give the side a 12 point lead, moving closer to
:18:52. > :18:57.where they want to be. 22-10 now. Danny Washbrook going back again...
:18:58. > :19:02.Kelly... He has got to the line! Albert Kelly, with no right to get
:19:03. > :19:07.anywhere near. They are having another look, what a big moment this
:19:08. > :19:15.is going to be. He thinks that it is a try. Albert Kelly, reaching...
:19:16. > :19:21.Rashford's boot is beneath the ball. Where does it go from here? The ball
:19:22. > :19:30.is rolling, still moving, the hand on the ball too. Brushing the
:19:31. > :19:42.whitewash... A try is confirmed! Albert Kelly, the scorer. Needing
:19:43. > :19:46.something here... The ball is out of the top! Ouma- Neuer with an
:19:47. > :19:57.interception, he could go the distance here. Being chased hard,
:19:58. > :20:03.but he has support at the very last -- Mahe Fonua. Albert Kelly scores
:20:04. > :20:06.that try that made sure that Hull FC would be the winners here tonight.
:20:07. > :20:17.Hull's winning ways continue! Was that arguably the best 80
:20:18. > :20:23.minutes that Pramac have put together? Certainly with 13 men on
:20:24. > :20:27.the pitch? Yes, the difference between the two teams at the times,
:20:28. > :20:33.they kicked on in the second half and created a performance the Hull
:20:34. > :20:36.fans would have wanted. By their own admission, they hadn't played that
:20:37. > :20:41.well, doesn't bode well in the second part of the season? When
:20:42. > :20:46.journalists and pundits get carried away with the here and now, we do it
:20:47. > :20:50.every week. I'm a big fan of what happens towards the back end of the
:20:51. > :20:55.season and the final third. If they can find form now and rhythm towards
:20:56. > :21:01.the back end, that is what contenders are looking for. I think
:21:02. > :21:07.there are a few people to go back into the mix. It's a good one for
:21:08. > :21:11.them in relation to momentum. In terms of Warrington, they played
:21:12. > :21:15.better in that game and played worse and one a couple in recent weeks?
:21:16. > :21:22.And Pramac they scratched a couple of wins, tough and gritty, over the
:21:23. > :21:27.line. -- they scratched a lot of wins. I think it really affected
:21:28. > :21:30.them a little bit, but Hull deserve a win and Warrington Wolves cut that
:21:31. > :21:40.performance in defeat and go, we are OK as well. Two games to catch up
:21:41. > :21:44.on, including Leigh against St Helens.
:21:45. > :21:49.Early-season optimism disappeared for Leigh after six straight defeats
:21:50. > :21:52.in all competitions. Glenn Stewart setup Jamie Acton as Leigh
:21:53. > :21:58.registered their first try on Friday, as good as it got for the
:21:59. > :22:03.Centurions on the night... Mark Percival crossed for St Helens, and
:22:04. > :22:08.their first score of the match, the centre signing off before joining
:22:09. > :22:11.England in Sydney. Then, the try of the night as the home side went half
:22:12. > :22:20.the length of the field to take the lead, Tommy may consume and Mark
:22:21. > :22:26.Percival combining, sending their player over for their third try of
:22:27. > :22:30.the season. St Helens leading 12-6 at half-time. Three more tries came
:22:31. > :22:35.in the second half, making a comfortable looking win for St
:22:36. > :22:43.Helens. Before charging over on the side. There was another moment to
:22:44. > :22:47.remember for Regan Grace, Fages the provider down the left-hand side at
:22:48. > :22:52.the time, as the young winger got his third try in four matches. Alex
:22:53. > :22:57.Walmsley run it off for the Saints, as they got their second win under
:22:58. > :23:04.their interim coaching team. For Leigh, a second consecutive defeat.
:23:05. > :23:14.Catalan in good position. Looking to soften up Wakefield here... Right
:23:15. > :23:27.before the sticks... My lead takes it to the line, bumping up a tackle.
:23:28. > :23:32.-- Myler. Catalan in front. It has been a first half where Wakefield
:23:33. > :23:41.have really struggled to set any platform. Jacob Miller trying to get
:23:42. > :23:47.one here. Into the corner... Mason came Brown and somehow, from
:23:48. > :24:00.somewhere, Wakefield have got the try. Mason Catton Brown... Wakefield
:24:01. > :24:09.are in a strong position. Hadley at dummy half, directing traffic. Rees
:24:10. > :24:21.-- another spectacular finish! Keegan Hirst, backing in. He has had
:24:22. > :24:31.some punch off the bench for Wakefield since coming on... A
:24:32. > :24:39.looping pass over to Caton-Brown, steaming it into the corner. What a
:24:40. > :24:48.fine try! Catalan had their lead wiped out here. They are in a decent
:24:49. > :25:04.position, Paul Ayton... Could there be a goal-line sneak? Myler... And
:25:05. > :25:10.into the corner! A strong finish there from Yaha. Wakefield are
:25:11. > :25:12.leading by only two points, they turned the game around, and onto its
:25:13. > :25:27.head. Miller to Greg Studer. Caton-Brown with a hat-trick! What a
:25:28. > :25:40.finish. Catalan... Greg Bird is back in the side. A bruising challenge on
:25:41. > :25:45.him there from David Fifita. Jones-Bishop has the pace to go! Can
:25:46. > :25:50.he streak away with the ball? Nobody is going to catch him... Ben
:25:51. > :26:01.Jones-Bishop might have sealed this one for Wakefield.
:26:02. > :26:12.Great QB wins this, for sure! On his 300th appearance, Wakefield are
:26:13. > :26:19.informed. We got the reward at the end of the game but obviously, we
:26:20. > :26:27.got two yellow cards which is frustrating. I think that the school
:26:28. > :26:32.board does not reflect the game. We ground out a really good win today.
:26:33. > :26:40.The first double of the season. I was pleased with every player on the
:26:41. > :26:44.field today, a strong defensive performance, scratchy at times but
:26:45. > :26:49.we got nice tries. If we got a decent kick, it might have been 40
:26:50. > :26:53.points. I'm delighted to say that we've been joined by the Salford
:26:54. > :26:58.head coach, what about this last hour and a half before a game, what
:26:59. > :27:02.is that like for you? As a player you are more nervous, in
:27:03. > :27:07.the changing rooms, you can Chatbot focus on your job. In the first five
:27:08. > :27:12.minutes of the game, -- you can have a chat and focus on your job. As
:27:13. > :27:16.coach you need to make sure they are prepared but this is a nervous time!
:27:17. > :27:19.Do you look at the players, you know them so well individually and make
:27:20. > :27:23.sure that they are all right, can you see they are ready to go? You
:27:24. > :27:27.have to observe them over time and in the last year, getting to know
:27:28. > :27:33.the players and body language in the changing rooms, you get a lot of
:27:34. > :27:38.different characters. From the Sirius guys to ones who want a joke.
:27:39. > :27:45.It is about respecting space, really. I use setting the top four
:27:46. > :27:50.as a target or are you trying to focus on each game? Game by game,
:27:51. > :27:54.but we had to focus and set high expectations for ourselves. We've
:27:55. > :27:59.put ourselves in a great situation. You give yourself a big tick and a
:28:00. > :28:07.pat on the back. Now we want to see if we can nail the top four spot. As
:28:08. > :28:12.you get ready to prepare for the game today, we will continue a look
:28:13. > :28:20.on the rest of the weekend's action. Huddersfield at Leeds, it's time to
:28:21. > :28:27.go over to our commentator. COMMENTATOR: A sad day today, after
:28:28. > :28:33.the death of the wife of the chairman, Jennifer Davie. It hardly
:28:34. > :28:37.matters in context but defeat is hardly the backdrop for a game like
:28:38. > :28:47.this for Huddersfield, how are they going to respond? Jones hits the
:28:48. > :28:54.line hard, taking them on another stride or two. Support to the
:28:55. > :28:59.left-hand side... As easy as that! Huddersfield had possession but
:29:00. > :29:12.Leeds had the first try of the night. Matt personnel, very easily.
:29:13. > :29:17.-- Matt Parcell. Was there a Leeds hand on that? Yes, it is free play,
:29:18. > :29:36.what a way of taking advantage! Mamo. On-site, offside, that is what
:29:37. > :29:40.they are looking at. It is very tight. The fact that they have got
:29:41. > :29:47.this far, suggesting they are OK with it. Mamo's got the response for
:29:48. > :30:01.Huddersfield tonight. And the first response. Matt Parcell with two more
:30:02. > :30:10.wrapping themselves around him. A kick out of the dummy half, this
:30:11. > :30:14.could be 40-20... What a kick! Gareth Southgate, the England
:30:15. > :30:21.football coach, looking on. He would have enjoyed that at work, but what
:30:22. > :30:29.comes next for Huddersfield? Headingley is nearly silent at the
:30:30. > :30:33.moment. A big surge forward, the Leeds defence holding out for the
:30:34. > :30:41.moment. Leading again from dummy half, he is over to score. Getting
:30:42. > :30:52.that try that Leeds will not exactly be proud to concede. Huddersfield,
:30:53. > :30:57.they have got the lead. It has been a strange path for rugby league so
:30:58. > :31:03.far. A long way from satisfying from the Leeds point of view. Some
:31:04. > :31:12.magical footwork year! And support from the young full-back. It finds
:31:13. > :31:22.its way into the hands of Joel Moon. How did that happen? Same from you,
:31:23. > :31:27.go away! The referee is taking charge here... Making sure that
:31:28. > :31:35.there isn't a knock-on here. And off-loaded by Walker. Darnell
:31:36. > :31:40.McIntosh getting his hand into it, into the hands of Joel Moon. As long
:31:41. > :31:45.as he does not knocked it back into Macintosh, that is OK... Looking
:31:46. > :31:53.fine, Joel Moon by the side of the sticks... It's a trifle Leeds! They
:31:54. > :31:58.will be back in a moment -- it is a tried, for Leeds! Galloway...
:31:59. > :32:13.Heating the line hard. Huddersfield hanging on at the
:32:14. > :32:20.moment. Support here... And Danny McGuire is over to score! Again, we
:32:21. > :32:34.are going to have to defer to the video referee. Danny McGuire thinks
:32:35. > :32:42.that it is a try on the field but he is looking for obstruction. All
:32:43. > :32:46.OK... Is the Leeds player in the face of the Huddersfield man? Is it
:32:47. > :32:51.enough to be called as an obstruction? It is given as an
:32:52. > :33:02.obstruction, it is going to be controversial... O'Brien in his
:33:03. > :33:11.second game here... Against the Swinton line in the cup last week. A
:33:12. > :33:15.look around... A grubber kick in... He hurts himself in attempting to
:33:16. > :33:25.score, it is a big moment if he has scored. He is OK, and even better if
:33:26. > :33:31.it is given. Does he get it down? He does, and it will be given.
:33:32. > :33:36.Huddersfield are back in the lead again, against all of the odds.
:33:37. > :33:49.Denny the ball rolls out of play... No,
:33:50. > :33:58.not quite, Walker has two player at. What a return from Jack Walker! The
:33:59. > :34:02.17-year-old full-back, letting up nicely on this occasion in his first
:34:03. > :34:11.Super League appearance tonight. Dropped, the youngster did well.
:34:12. > :34:23.Darnell McIntosh is over for another Huddersfield try! One hour played,
:34:24. > :34:31.they manage to get the lead! What a turnaround tonight. Leading down the
:34:32. > :34:39.blindside, back towards the middle. Mellor... Held up, 12 away.
:34:40. > :34:46.Huddersfield, back to Denny breath. One point meaning that Leeds had to
:34:47. > :34:57.score three times to win the game. -- Dani wrote to. Does Roberts get
:34:58. > :35:06.it over the line? The referee, again, is going to the screen. --
:35:07. > :35:16.Danny Brough. This is a big moment. Oliver Roberts... Trying to force
:35:17. > :35:21.his team-mate over the line, Jake Mamo, does he touch it down? The
:35:22. > :35:29.referee says tried. Is there still a hand on the ball? Are they going to
:35:30. > :35:33.give this? They are anxious and nervous, but they don't need to be.
:35:34. > :35:44.Huddersfield with a try and surely now the victory? Nobody could have
:35:45. > :35:50.predicted that. STUDIO: All of the players dedicating their life to
:35:51. > :35:57.Jennifer Davie, who suddenly lost her life last week, our thoughts to
:35:58. > :36:01.her and the family, does that galvanise a side? They played an
:36:02. > :36:10.emotion? They found a sentiment and focus, they went close, there is
:36:11. > :36:13.always good to be a performance. When you have extra intention and
:36:14. > :36:22.extra dynamic in the game, his kicking was superb. They got better
:36:23. > :36:28.and to be fair, Leeds were not at their best but that is not taking
:36:29. > :36:35.away from Huddersfield, there were years -- some young blokes. And get
:36:36. > :36:38.that best performance. They need to build on that? I think what they
:36:39. > :36:42.want to do is the emotional reason that they rocked up on the Friday
:36:43. > :36:48.night, they need to replicate that for themselves weakly. He galvanised
:36:49. > :36:54.and energised in relation to wherever they play. Ian is the
:36:55. > :36:59.executive at Salford, you've worked your socks off to get the fans in,
:37:00. > :37:05.how is it going and what do you make of the reaction that you are getting
:37:06. > :37:10.from the public here? We started that season well, Wigan and
:37:11. > :37:15.Castleford but the fans with them. Disappointed with the sales up until
:37:16. > :37:20.now, we hope that the sun shines and people come in on their feet but it
:37:21. > :37:25.has been slow ticket sales, that's why we've been on social media.
:37:26. > :37:29.Unlike you, you are a positive person. I was voicing
:37:30. > :37:34.disappointment, it was whether people took it as negative, it's up
:37:35. > :37:38.to them. I'm not a politician, I will tell you what it is. It was
:37:39. > :37:44.more of a rallying cry, get behind the team, we are challenging for a
:37:45. > :37:49.top three, Salford need to get behind their team. Is it a unique
:37:50. > :37:53.challenge getting people to come here? I don't know, we need to wake
:37:54. > :37:56.up to the fact that they are a top team, that's the difference, while
:37:57. > :38:02.they have struggled and the bottom end of the table and got to the
:38:03. > :38:08.higher echelons, they are there, you've seen the rugby league team,
:38:09. > :38:12.the brand of football is very good, and entertaining. I can understand
:38:13. > :38:17.Ian's frustration. But persevere, who knows what will happen? It is
:38:18. > :38:23.difficult, it is a business, if you can't get the fans coming in, is
:38:24. > :38:26.there a point where you go, we can't make it work? Look at all options
:38:27. > :38:30.and look further afield to see what we can bring in corporately
:38:31. > :38:37.business-wise, we have Robbie Hunter-Paul in the back office for
:38:38. > :38:41.us, we want to be a Seba Super League club, I want to be in the top
:38:42. > :38:49.four and not in the bottom. That's in the corporate world as well as
:38:50. > :38:53.for the fans. There's so much people can be doing, we are a stone's throw
:38:54. > :38:58.from the Trafford Centre? There is a big city next door to Salford, you
:38:59. > :39:02.cannot mix the two up, there is a whole new audience. We are in the
:39:03. > :39:07.middle of heartlands here. Manchester needs to play their part.
:39:08. > :39:14.It's the Salford identity and Salford club, the sort of people
:39:15. > :39:18.need to support it. I remember when there will be 8000, 9000, 10,000.
:39:19. > :39:24.Well done with what you achieved this season. Now, it is time for
:39:25. > :39:29.Salford against Widnes. Com Tait an arm wrestle in these opening 20
:39:30. > :39:36.minutes. I think Denis Betts would be pleased with Widnes carrying on
:39:37. > :39:41.where they left against St Helens. Salford have come close on a couple
:39:42. > :39:48.of occasions. Going to the right again with Dobson... He is going to
:39:49. > :39:58.score, Murdoch-Masila! You cannot stop him from there. A man mountain,
:39:59. > :40:08.with a terrific try. Robert Lui again... And Big Ben, unstoppable,
:40:09. > :40:14.it seems, this afternoon. Dobson! Wonderful from Greg Johnson. We have
:40:15. > :40:26.seen some great tries this season from the wingers, that one is right
:40:27. > :40:30.up there. Big 40 minutes head for Widnes, if they get off the bottom
:40:31. > :40:42.of the Super League table. For the first time this season. Gilmour
:40:43. > :40:48.combines. A lovely sidestep from Gilmour, with room here. Patrick Ah
:40:49. > :40:52.Van with a great off-load. A deserved try and Tom Gilmore with
:40:53. > :40:58.the score, you felt that they had to get that first try of the second
:40:59. > :41:04.half, and they have. Salford are exposing this right-hand side. A lot
:41:05. > :41:10.of their players come down here. Stopping just short. Murdoch-Masila,
:41:11. > :41:17.switching play. A lovely kick from Robert Lui. Salford score! Right of
:41:18. > :41:28.the training ground, and Widnes didn't see it coming. With a crucial
:41:29. > :41:35.try. Steven Marsh, does he have the legs? A good tackle. Widnes have men
:41:36. > :41:41.out wide, if they can stretch the ball with Gilmour. Patrick Ah Van
:41:42. > :41:52.has got the strength and he has got the power. He has got the try. A ten
:41:53. > :41:57.point ball game, Widnes very much in it. Dobson alluding a tackle. Doing
:41:58. > :42:08.well, a couple of yards from the try line. Patients running out... It's a
:42:09. > :42:14.penalty... Some will not miss from here. Stretching the advantage to
:42:15. > :42:26.ten points. Salford closing in with a little over ten minutes to go.
:42:27. > :42:30.Tomkins. Dobson again. Ball in hand... Looking really get this
:42:31. > :42:48.afternoon. Josh Jones not far away again. Dan Bibby. Back to the wall
:42:49. > :42:51.for the Vikings here. Dobson and Robert Lui combining, and its
:42:52. > :42:57.Murdoch-Masila who gets a second for Big Ben! One of the standout stars
:42:58. > :43:05.for the Super League this season. Unstoppable! Some icing on the cake
:43:06. > :43:19.here for Salford... 26-10 they are leading. It's another tough day at
:43:20. > :43:24.the office for Widnes. Jones with an off-load for Dan Bibby! That is
:43:25. > :43:28.going to do it. It's another dominant Salford performance. Six
:43:29. > :43:37.wins out of seven, Widnes stay bottom of the table. -- Jake Bibby.
:43:38. > :43:42.How tough was that today? We lost a few men but we stuck together well.
:43:43. > :43:47.Widnes had a good win last week by getting this point is massive for
:43:48. > :43:52.us. Happy with those results, we lost a few more today but we keep
:43:53. > :43:56.working hard. The trip to Catalans was a turnaround, we had some
:43:57. > :44:00.injuries but we showed she drank and depth. Some boys coming in, I've not
:44:01. > :44:07.played much myself but it was good to get a win -- we showed strength
:44:08. > :44:13.and depth. How pleased were you with where he took his opportunities
:44:14. > :44:18.today? He is really good, the squad that we spoke to him about, you bide
:44:19. > :44:22.your time and take your opportunity. He has done that, my other boards,
:44:23. > :44:34.it is difficult, he had a really good season -- Niall Evalds. We have
:44:35. > :44:37.plenty of desire and attitude, we looked beaten up at the moment
:44:38. > :44:42.because that is what losing does to you, taking away your confidence and
:44:43. > :44:46.putting you in a bad place. It takes something special, but what was more
:44:47. > :44:52.disappointing than anything else is that we had a gutsy effort against
:44:53. > :44:57.St Helens last week. A lot of work went into getting that for the
:44:58. > :45:01.players. We had a couple of days off, but we just didn't turn up with
:45:02. > :45:05.it today. You've got to turn up and want to win. Brian, what did you
:45:06. > :45:09.make of the game and the quality of it? A team down on their luck and
:45:10. > :45:15.performances in relation to confidence. Widnes, Salford managed
:45:16. > :45:18.to inject themselves, physically getting on top of the opposition.
:45:19. > :45:23.Smart players at the right time getting them over the line, they
:45:24. > :45:28.were looking strong here. I think that the scoreline flattered them a
:45:29. > :45:32.little. They got good players and a gamebreaker is probably Widnes at
:45:33. > :45:36.the wrong time, with a bounce on the ball. Ian spoke beforehand about the
:45:37. > :45:40.depth of the squad, and that this was an important game to show that.
:45:41. > :45:44.What do you make of the players coming in and those youngsters that
:45:45. > :45:49.they had? I got the impression they did not look out of sorts when the
:45:50. > :45:52.players were on the field, they were at no disadvantage, they will be
:45:53. > :45:56.thank for getting those players back, that is the challenge of any
:45:57. > :46:01.squad in the Super League. Make those changes seamless, we spoke on
:46:02. > :46:06.the Super League show about it, they will go through a run of injuries
:46:07. > :46:11.and it's about how you cope. It looked seamless. At the end of a
:46:12. > :46:16.round of 12, how do they all stand in the Super League table?
:46:17. > :46:20.Castleford stay top, the Tigers are now one point clear of Hull moving
:46:21. > :46:29.into second. St Helens are up to seventh. We will be back in the
:46:30. > :46:33.studio next week, where hopefully it will be a little less windy, if
:46:34. > :46:52.nothing else. But from Brian and from me for now, it's goodbye!
:46:53. > :46:53.You are not a fun person to share a trishaw with.
:46:54. > :46:59.You are not a fun person to share a trishaw with.
