0:00:34 > 0:00:36Hello, we've taken a break from the tennis to bring

0:00:36 > 0:00:38you the latest highlights from Super League, so hold

0:00:38 > 0:00:41on to your strawberries, it's round 21 and here's what's

0:00:41 > 0:00:44coming.

0:00:44 > 0:00:52# Who got the power?

0:00:52 > 0:00:55# I've got the power

0:00:55 > 0:00:56# Who got the power?

0:00:56 > 0:01:06# I've got the power

0:01:09 > 0:01:18# I've got the power

0:01:18 > 0:01:21# I've got the power, yeah.#

0:01:21 > 0:01:26All of that to come in the company of Gareth Ellis and Iestyn Harris,

0:01:26 > 0:01:29both of whom have completed a career Grand Slam of the major club

0:01:29 > 0:01:30rugby league titles.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33First on court were the leaders Castleford, who didn't have too far

0:01:33 > 0:01:34to travel this week.

0:01:34 > 0:01:37They were away to Wakefield and,

0:01:37 > 0:01:39before the match, as at all the Super League games this week,

0:01:39 > 0:01:43there was a moment of silence to remember Adam Cooper,

0:01:43 > 0:01:54the Culcheth Eagles player who died during a game at Runcorn last week.

0:01:57 > 0:01:58WHISTLE BLOWS.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00APPLAUSE.

0:02:00 > 0:02:06Wonderfully observed.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11Sene-Lefao.

0:02:11 > 0:02:13He is always just a bit of a handful.

0:02:13 > 0:02:18Really on top in these opening seven or eight minutes here.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20Castleford yet to find a way through this rather

0:02:20 > 0:02:22dogged Wakefield defence.

0:02:22 > 0:02:23Massey goes down.

0:02:23 > 0:02:24McShane.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26Going left.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29Little handoff.

0:02:29 > 0:02:34It is given away and Hadley will get it out to Ben Jones-Bishop.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36He has got the pace to go the distance.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38Against the run of play.

0:02:38 > 0:02:39But what a score.

0:02:39 > 0:02:42Ben Jones-Bishop.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44They are loving it on the coaching balcony.

0:02:44 > 0:02:45And well they might.

0:02:45 > 0:02:49Great finish.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52Shielding his eyes against the sun and hoping for a little

0:02:52 > 0:03:02more from his side here.

0:03:05 > 0:03:06Arona.

0:03:06 > 0:03:07Looked down from Kyle Wood.

0:03:07 > 0:03:08It's going to be a penalty.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10Too much messing about from Adam Milner.

0:03:10 > 0:03:16Just holding on too long.

0:03:16 > 0:03:17So Liam Finn.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20A terrific run of consecutive games in which he has scored.

0:03:20 > 0:03:21His second goal of the day.

0:03:21 > 0:03:318-0.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33Here's Grix.

0:03:33 > 0:03:34A little stumble.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36I don't think he got the touch.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39The referee said it hit his foot and Grix is making the most of this

0:03:39 > 0:03:40in terms of getting downfield.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42What a run from the full-back.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44Inside ball, find support and Castleford had to get back

0:03:44 > 0:03:46quickly to make the tackle.

0:03:46 > 0:03:47Wakefield taking advantage here.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49Grix has stayed down injured, but his team-mates

0:03:49 > 0:03:53are carrying on without him.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55Wood, he goes left.

0:03:55 > 0:03:56Wood, over, scores.

0:03:56 > 0:04:02Second try for Wakefield.

0:04:02 > 0:04:04What a first half they are having here.

0:04:04 > 0:04:09They are taming the Tigers.

0:04:09 > 0:04:12Finn.

0:04:12 > 0:04:17Looked a little high on Annakin, but he is allowed to carry on.

0:04:17 > 0:04:21Held up just in the shadows of the sticks.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23Wood trying to go out from dummy half again.

0:04:23 > 0:04:24It is another penalty.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26Offside.

0:04:26 > 0:04:30I think Milner was in the way again.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33John Kear is insisting they go for two this time.

0:04:33 > 0:04:40Right in front of the sticks.

0:04:40 > 0:04:41Liam Finn puts it over again.

0:04:41 > 0:04:4516-0, what a first half Wakefield are having.

0:04:45 > 0:04:53Finally, smiles.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56Finn with the feed.

0:04:56 > 0:05:01Coming over to the right-hand side and it has been dropped.

0:05:01 > 0:05:03McShane picked it up and is worked away.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05Here is Greg Eden.

0:05:05 > 0:05:10We know all about his style.

0:05:10 > 0:05:11And pace.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14And nobody can get anywhere near him and Greg Eden

0:05:14 > 0:05:16in for his 35th try of the season.

0:05:16 > 0:05:1932nd of the Super League campaign.

0:05:19 > 0:05:23What a score.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25Milner limping off.

0:05:25 > 0:05:30It looks as though he has played his final part.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32Hoping his team-mates can get themselves back out of the hole

0:05:32 > 0:05:33they find themselves in.

0:05:33 > 0:05:34Shenton!

0:05:34 > 0:05:39Just held up short.

0:05:39 > 0:05:42Eden's try was two minutes after the break and here

0:05:42 > 0:05:46they are again, pushing hard again.

0:05:46 > 0:05:55Looking as though they mean business and Millington is over.

0:05:55 > 0:06:04Two tries in the opening six minutes.

0:06:04 > 0:06:05They pull the deficits right back.

0:06:05 > 0:06:08They are back in the game.

0:06:08 > 0:06:09McShane.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11Massey is in support.

0:06:11 > 0:06:16He has support, too.

0:06:16 > 0:06:18He had the better chance of going the distance.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20The final tackle here.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22They are moving it out wide.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24Webster gets it away.

0:06:24 > 0:06:29Step back on the inside again.

0:06:29 > 0:06:30And McMeeken!

0:06:30 > 0:06:31Mike McMeeken is in.

0:06:31 > 0:06:40And Castleford have turned it right around.

0:06:40 > 0:06:40The opening 13 minutes.

0:06:40 > 0:06:50Here's Wood.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54And now back again from Keegan Hirst.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56Wakefield will fancy they have weathered the storm.

0:06:56 > 0:06:57They still have a chance here.

0:06:57 > 0:06:58Fifita.

0:06:58 > 0:07:01David Fifita, the big man, has he touched the line?

0:07:01 > 0:07:06Referee Mr Kendall is going for the video analysis here.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08Checking the grounding.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10Fifita went low.

0:07:10 > 0:07:11Has he hit the line?

0:07:11 > 0:07:18He has hit the line.

0:07:18 > 0:07:20And Wakefield, with 11 to go, are back in front.

0:07:20 > 0:07:28We will have a look at this.

0:07:28 > 0:07:31Hits it high, goes low, a bubble, but the video

0:07:31 > 0:07:33Hits it high, goes low, a bobble, but the video

0:07:33 > 0:07:34referee says he gets it.

0:07:34 > 0:07:35They are not entirely convinced.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38But his side back behind again.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40It is a great contest.

0:07:40 > 0:07:41A local derby.

0:07:41 > 0:07:45Wakefield in control.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48Castleford showing all their fire to get back in the match.

0:07:48 > 0:07:54Credit to Wakefield for working their way into the lead again.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57Taken in by Arona.

0:07:57 > 0:07:58Grix at dummy half.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00They get a penalty.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02What do they do here?

0:08:02 > 0:08:05Four points the lead at the moment.

0:08:05 > 0:08:09They are going for goal.

0:08:09 > 0:08:13Too much going on after the tackle was completed.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16So here is Liam Finn.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19His sixth success of the night.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21It is a 6-point lead.

0:08:21 > 0:08:26Time is running out here.

0:08:26 > 0:08:31They need to make something happen quickly.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33There is Foster with a couple of steps.

0:08:33 > 0:08:35Eight away.

0:08:35 > 0:08:40McShane waits at dummy half, flicks it back to the right-hand side.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42A little drop-off pass for Webster.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45To try and bludgeon and bully his way through.

0:08:45 > 0:08:49And Jake Webster, five minutes to go, and Castleford

0:08:49 > 0:08:54have a response again.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56They are not giving up lightly.

0:08:56 > 0:08:59Luke Gale with a chance to make it all square.

0:08:59 > 0:09:00And Luke Gale puts it over.

0:09:00 > 0:09:0524 points apiece.

0:09:05 > 0:09:09Quickly picked up.

0:09:09 > 0:09:12Wakefield is desperately trying to defend this now.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15Castleford looking to try and snatch something.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Two minutes to play.

0:09:17 > 0:09:20McShane out of dummy half, back it comes, they will be thinking

0:09:20 > 0:09:21about a drop goal soon.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24They are in excellent position.

0:09:24 > 0:09:25McShane.

0:09:25 > 0:09:29Luke Gale puts it over.

0:09:29 > 0:09:33One point that might just seal the two.

0:09:33 > 0:09:43Castleford's winning run looks set to continue.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46For the time being, ten points clear at the top.

0:09:46 > 0:09:47What a game.

0:09:47 > 0:09:48A really thrilling contest.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50Wakefield have played their part tonight.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53But Castleford have yet again found a way to win when it did not look

0:09:53 > 0:09:55as though it was going to be easy.

0:09:55 > 0:10:02A bit of relief from the coach, you fancy.

0:10:02 > 0:10:03What a fabulous contest.

0:10:03 > 0:10:07I am not convinced Daryl Powell enjoyed that too much.

0:10:07 > 0:10:10Certainly does not look like he is a very good poker player!

0:10:10 > 0:10:14They had two narrow wins, that one and against your boys previously.

0:10:14 > 0:10:19Are we seeing backbone, guts about this team?

0:10:19 > 0:10:22I think that will be the pleasing thing that has come out of the past

0:10:22 > 0:10:23couple of weeks for Castleford.

0:10:23 > 0:10:27The fact they have been able to stay in the game when things

0:10:27 > 0:10:28have not gone their way.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31They were in front for only nine seconds of the game.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34It is massive they have fought their way out of a corner

0:10:34 > 0:10:39and come away with a win.

0:10:39 > 0:10:43I'd like to think that everyone is finding them out a little bit.

0:10:43 > 0:10:45It gives us all a little bit of hope coming to

0:10:45 > 0:10:47the business end of the season.

0:10:47 > 0:10:48Daryl Powell looked furious at times.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51But now the dust has settled, do you think you might be quite

0:10:51 > 0:10:53pleased they had two narrow wins?

0:10:53 > 0:10:55I think he will be pleased he got a reaction from

0:10:55 > 0:10:56players at half-time.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58He was probably exceptionally disappointed first half,

0:10:58 > 0:10:59because they did not turn up.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01I don't want to take anything away from them,

0:11:01 > 0:11:03they were great in the first half, Wakefield.

0:11:03 > 0:11:05They put real pressure on Castleford.

0:11:05 > 0:11:07But they just did not turn up the first half.

0:11:07 > 0:11:09He has obviously spoken to them at half-time.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12Sport is about reacting and about fixing it up during a game

0:11:12 > 0:11:15rather than waiting till the end of a game and thinking

0:11:15 > 0:11:16about the following week.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18They fixed it up at half-time and came out terrifically

0:11:18 > 0:11:20in the second half.

0:11:20 > 0:11:21That response, they will be pleased.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23What was particularly impressive about this performance, Gareth,

0:11:23 > 0:11:26was we have seen them destroying teams with their play

0:11:26 > 0:11:27down the left-hand side.

0:11:27 > 0:11:28They went the other way.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30And did it down the right.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33Ben Roberts.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35Probably in the shadow of Luke Gale, but is very influential

0:11:36 > 0:11:39in the Castleford team this year.

0:11:39 > 0:11:42They missed him when he wasn't playing midyear and it shows here,

0:11:42 > 0:11:43the amount of involvement he has.

0:11:43 > 0:11:51And the awareness late in the game to set up the drop goal.

0:11:51 > 0:11:55It helps when you have Jake Webster coming on, those short balls.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57Mike McMeeken coming on them balls.

0:11:57 > 0:11:58Everybody has talked about the left-hand

0:11:58 > 0:12:01side, you are right.

0:12:01 > 0:12:05They have got power on the right side.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08Just a bit of skill from Roberts.

0:12:08 > 0:12:10Footwork, gets a play of the ball.

0:12:10 > 0:12:12He is not going to miss that.

0:12:12 > 0:12:13A word on Wakefield, Gareth.

0:12:13 > 0:12:15One of your former clubs.

0:12:15 > 0:12:17Will they see this as a missed opportunity, especially given

0:12:17 > 0:12:18where they were in the game?

0:12:18 > 0:12:19Definitely.

0:12:19 > 0:12:21I think they will be bitterly disappointed,

0:12:21 > 0:12:25having been ahead in the game for such a long period,

0:12:25 > 0:12:29for them to be pipped at the post, they will be disappointed.

0:12:29 > 0:12:32I think they have had a tough run of games recently and not

0:12:32 > 0:12:34picked up many points.

0:12:34 > 0:12:36Their season, their top four credentials are a little

0:12:36 > 0:12:37bit in the balance now.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40They will be hoping to pick up wins to finish the season

0:12:40 > 0:12:43as best as possible.

0:12:43 > 0:12:45Speaking of the top four, let's go to Salford.

0:12:45 > 0:12:48Two teams who ended last season in the bottom four.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51What a turnaround it's been, because both the Red Devils

0:12:51 > 0:12:53and their opponents Leeds are looking on course

0:12:53 > 0:12:54for a top-four finish this year.

0:12:54 > 0:12:57The commentator is Matt Newsum.

0:12:57 > 0:12:58Ben Murdoch-Masila into dummy half.

0:12:58 > 0:13:00Robert Lui, then.

0:13:00 > 0:13:04Leeds chasing.

0:13:04 > 0:13:05Here comes Briscoe.

0:13:05 > 0:13:07Oh, he's bundled it.

0:13:07 > 0:13:10Josh Wood is first to the ball.

0:13:10 > 0:13:13Josh Wood has crashed over.

0:13:16 > 0:13:17McGuire scouts.

0:13:17 > 0:13:18Looks for options.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20Drops one short to Moon.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23He gets it away to the left-hand side.

0:13:23 > 0:13:26Ryan Hall with space in front of him will finish this one off

0:13:26 > 0:13:30with power and pace.

0:13:30 > 0:13:31Parcell, close to the line.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33Switches the attack.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35McGuire, Watkins, Briscoe in the corner.

0:13:35 > 0:13:41He won't miss this time.

0:13:41 > 0:13:44Leeds, the right-hand side, once again.

0:13:44 > 0:13:46Moon steps in and out of the tackle.

0:13:46 > 0:13:47It's on the last here.

0:13:47 > 0:13:51Watkins, dummies, goes straight through the gap scores.

0:13:51 > 0:13:53Watkins, dummies, goes straight through the gap and scores.

0:13:53 > 0:13:55A fine try.

0:13:55 > 0:13:58Leeds hitting their straps at the moment.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01Salford unable to cope with this ruck speed.

0:14:01 > 0:14:08Parcell goes from dummy half and plonks the ball down.

0:14:08 > 0:14:11A repeat prescription.

0:14:11 > 0:14:12A high shot from Junior Sa'u.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14Kallum Watkins is down.

0:14:14 > 0:14:16Stricken on the ground.

0:14:16 > 0:14:19This looks worrying.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22The punishment for Junior Sa'u for that high tackle around the head

0:14:22 > 0:14:24is ten minutes in the sin-bin.

0:14:24 > 0:14:31He offers his apologies to Kallum Watkins.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33Parcell, again, McGuire.

0:14:33 > 0:14:36Testing, teasing, kicked to the corner.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38Hall takes it in.

0:14:38 > 0:14:39Tries to dump it back.

0:14:39 > 0:14:42Comes off Robert Lui.

0:14:42 > 0:14:43Moon scores.

0:14:46 > 0:14:50Ablett, into space.

0:14:50 > 0:14:52Cuthbertson gets it away to Parcell.

0:14:52 > 0:14:55Leeds 100 miles an hour here.

0:14:55 > 0:14:59Jamie Jones-Buchanan steps inside and scores a wonderful try.

0:15:00 > 0:15:04Such speed in this ruck from Leeds.

0:15:04 > 0:15:06Lilley, to McGuire.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08Will he test the kick again?

0:15:08 > 0:15:09Puts one in behind.

0:15:09 > 0:15:10Briscoe gets there first.

0:15:10 > 0:15:15Try number two.

0:15:15 > 0:15:21This is a brighter start to the second half.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23A shade forward that one there for Dobson.

0:15:23 > 0:15:24Josh Jones skirts the line.

0:15:24 > 0:15:25Burrows his way through.

0:15:25 > 0:15:27Leeds struggling to put him down here.

0:15:27 > 0:15:29Dumps the ball.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31Krasniqi's turn to take on the Leeds line.

0:15:31 > 0:15:32Gets one away to Ben Murdoch-Masila.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35He is too powerful!

0:15:35 > 0:15:39Just rumbles over the top and Salford have a try.

0:15:40 > 0:15:41Sloppy pass from Moon.

0:15:41 > 0:15:44Josh Walters.

0:15:44 > 0:15:46Up to the ten.

0:15:46 > 0:15:50A penalty.

0:15:50 > 0:15:58Just ticking the scoreboard over.

0:15:58 > 0:16:00Jordan Lilley hammers it through the sticks.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02Krasniqi, takes it to the line, but Leeds,

0:16:02 > 0:16:04somehow they stem the flow.

0:16:04 > 0:16:05Dobson poised.

0:16:05 > 0:16:06Goes himself.

0:16:06 > 0:16:08Touches it down.

0:16:08 > 0:16:12Salford have a third try.

0:16:12 > 0:16:14Parcell.

0:16:14 > 0:16:18Looking to test the defence.

0:16:18 > 0:16:19Mullally.

0:16:19 > 0:16:21Big and powerful and that might be it.

0:16:21 > 0:16:22Wood from dummy half.

0:16:22 > 0:16:25Dobson to the line.

0:16:25 > 0:16:26Lui, slick play from Salford.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28Good step from Ben Murdoch-Masila.

0:16:28 > 0:16:31That is his second of the game.

0:16:31 > 0:16:34Leeds, the final seconds.

0:16:34 > 0:16:37Is there a another try in them?

0:16:37 > 0:16:39Lilley takes it to the line.

0:16:39 > 0:16:40McGuire, Moon, a lovely ball.

0:16:40 > 0:16:41Jack Walker.

0:16:41 > 0:16:42Can he finish it for Leeds?

0:16:42 > 0:16:43Yes, he does.

0:16:43 > 0:16:47A great win and Leeds go second.

0:16:47 > 0:16:52A great win and a big win and a big statement of intent by the Rhinos

0:16:52 > 0:16:57with their number six showing there is still life in those legs.

0:16:57 > 0:17:00Yes, a terrific player, McGuire, and he completely ran the show.

0:17:00 > 0:17:02Everything came off him.

0:17:02 > 0:17:06He showed a little bit of speed of old at times.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08The way he has a ball in his hand.

0:17:08 > 0:17:09Everybody sits off.

0:17:09 > 0:17:12You don't know if he is going to kick or pass.

0:17:12 > 0:17:17The amount of opportunities he created from his skill level

0:17:17 > 0:17:19shows why Leeds were on fire.

0:17:19 > 0:17:20Salford just could not handle them.

0:17:20 > 0:17:21In general, Leeds looking strong.

0:17:21 > 0:17:23You could suggest they are going somewhat under

0:17:23 > 0:17:24the radar this season.

0:17:24 > 0:17:25Yes, maybe a little.

0:17:25 > 0:17:30I think everyone around them knows what potential they have got.

0:17:30 > 0:17:32They look to be playing like Leeds of old.

0:17:32 > 0:17:33Forget last year.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36Even the beginning of the year when things were not as rosy.

0:17:36 > 0:17:38They have come through that with flying colours

0:17:38 > 0:17:40and they are pushing on and want to.

0:17:40 > 0:17:43Ian Watson said Leeds had given them a lesson in how to play

0:17:43 > 0:17:44a top of the table clash.

0:17:44 > 0:17:46What do you think he means?

0:17:46 > 0:17:50I probably think he means when you play big games

0:17:50 > 0:17:52throughout your career, what you cannot do is

0:17:52 > 0:17:53play them on emotion.

0:17:53 > 0:17:55If you try to play them on emotion, then ultimately

0:17:55 > 0:18:00you will be hit and miss.

0:18:00 > 0:18:03You have to make sure you get the processes right and do

0:18:03 > 0:18:05the small things well and perhaps the emotion was burned

0:18:06 > 0:18:07before the game.

0:18:07 > 0:18:08Salford.

0:18:08 > 0:18:09They looked lethargic, they looked tired.

0:18:09 > 0:18:12And that, you can burn a lot of energy and emotion before a game

0:18:12 > 0:18:15and they probably need to learn how to go through the processes

0:18:15 > 0:18:19for those big games because Leeds have been in them God knows how many

0:18:19 > 0:18:20times in the past ten years.

0:18:20 > 0:18:22They have gone through the process of the game.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24You saw from the tries they scored, terrific.

0:18:24 > 0:18:26Salford have not really been there.

0:18:26 > 0:18:30This has been a strong season from them, but are these nervy times?

0:18:30 > 0:18:31Possibly.

0:18:31 > 0:18:33Like I said before their season is in the balance in terms

0:18:33 > 0:18:35of their top four chances.

0:18:35 > 0:18:37They have tough games coming up and will want to get

0:18:37 > 0:18:38back to winning ways.

0:18:38 > 0:18:41They have had a great season, nobody can deny that.

0:18:41 > 0:18:43But it is like anything, when you get something,

0:18:43 > 0:18:44you want a little bit more.

0:18:44 > 0:18:46I'm sure Salford are the same.

0:18:46 > 0:18:53They go to Cas this week, Salford.

0:18:53 > 0:18:57They lose that and Wigan win and all of a sudden,

0:18:57 > 0:19:00Wigan win and within three points Salford with nine games to go.

0:19:00 > 0:19:02Salford also say they'll hand out a lifetime ban to the supporter

0:19:02 > 0:19:05who appeared to throw an object at referee James Child

0:19:05 > 0:19:06after that match.

0:19:06 > 0:19:09The club have apologised to him and the officials on duty on Sunday.

0:19:09 > 0:19:11And one other piece of news from Salford -

0:19:11 > 0:19:13they've signed Manu Vatuvai from the New Zealand Warriors

0:19:13 > 0:19:14until the end of 2018.

0:19:14 > 0:19:17In a moment, we'll be heading to the South of France,

0:19:17 > 0:19:20but en route to Perpignan we'll stop off in Maidstone of all places,

0:19:20 > 0:19:23and step back in time to the 1984 Challenge Cup,

0:19:23 > 0:19:32when Kent Invicta took on Castleford.

0:19:32 > 0:19:33Castleford again.

0:19:33 > 0:19:34Bob Beardmore.

0:19:34 > 0:19:35Robinson.

0:19:35 > 0:19:36Nice ball, Robinson.

0:19:36 > 0:19:40An excellent pass.

0:19:40 > 0:19:43This is classy Cas.

0:19:43 > 0:19:46Beardmore, Kevin Ward.

0:19:46 > 0:19:47Nice pass to Beardmore.

0:19:47 > 0:19:48Backing up well.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50And even better pass.

0:19:50 > 0:19:52Can he go for that line?

0:19:52 > 0:19:56Castleford still on the attack.

0:19:56 > 0:19:58Neil James to Robinson, to Beardmore.

0:19:58 > 0:19:59A nice pass.

0:19:59 > 0:20:01Strolling in.

0:20:01 > 0:20:09Good rugby, good rugby.

0:20:09 > 0:20:13Hello, somebody has seen something.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15He didn't half give him a forearm chop, then.

0:20:15 > 0:20:16And he is going.

0:20:16 > 0:20:19Number 13.

0:20:19 > 0:20:21He is known as Beefy, but I'm afraid a bit

0:20:21 > 0:20:22too much beef there.

0:20:22 > 0:20:24He is gone.

0:20:24 > 0:20:27Not somebody you take home to meet mother, these men.

0:20:27 > 0:20:29And a good run.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31Here's a chance.

0:20:31 > 0:20:32He is in!

0:20:32 > 0:20:37Number five.

0:20:37 > 0:20:38Frankie Feighan from Peckham.

0:20:38 > 0:20:39Etherington.

0:20:39 > 0:20:41Nice dummy.

0:20:41 > 0:20:42He has got in.

0:20:42 > 0:20:42He is going over!

0:20:42 > 0:20:46He is over!

0:20:46 > 0:20:48What a start for Kent Invicta.

0:20:48 > 0:20:51Castleford on attack, to Robinson.

0:20:51 > 0:20:52Still moving it.

0:20:52 > 0:20:57To Marchant.

0:20:57 > 0:20:58Nice hand off.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00He has Kevin ward driving for the line.

0:21:00 > 0:21:01And he is in.

0:21:01 > 0:21:03Excellent rugby.

0:21:03 > 0:21:04Good ball.

0:21:04 > 0:21:07Lovely driving run.

0:21:07 > 0:21:13A well-worked move.

0:21:13 > 0:21:16And an even better pass.

0:21:16 > 0:21:18A nice movement.

0:21:18 > 0:21:22What a try from this man.

0:21:22 > 0:21:30That is as good a try we will see all season from Frankie Feighan.

0:21:30 > 0:21:33Three minutes to go in this half and a lovely ball.

0:21:33 > 0:21:34To Bishop.

0:21:34 > 0:21:35This is good rugby.

0:21:35 > 0:21:36That is lost.

0:21:36 > 0:21:37That is not.

0:21:37 > 0:21:39It is a try.

0:21:39 > 0:21:40Strolled in.

0:21:40 > 0:21:41Easily picked the ball up.

0:21:41 > 0:21:49It was a gift try.

0:21:49 > 0:21:52To Gary Hyde, but credit to Kent Invicta, they were

0:21:52 > 0:21:53entertaining the crowd.

0:21:53 > 0:21:54Fantastic.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56Now plenty of talk about hip injuries over the last couple

0:21:56 > 0:21:58of weeks, but for Andy Murray, read Shaun Wane.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01The Wigan coach stayed at home after surgery as Wigan flew

0:22:01 > 0:22:03to the South of France to face Catalan.

0:22:03 > 0:22:06So was it comfotable viewing for him back home, Iestyn?

0:22:06 > 0:22:10Well, I think he would have known from sitting in his hospital bed

0:22:10 > 0:22:13they would have had to do the tough stuff early and be

0:22:13 > 0:22:16physical and patient against Catalans over in France.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18They are always difficult to play.

0:22:18 > 0:22:19Joe Burgess with a great try.

0:22:19 > 0:22:22He did his best not to get over the line.

0:22:22 > 0:22:23He did!

0:22:23 > 0:22:26It is like Stuart Fielden back in the day for Britain.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28Catalan do not go away at home.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30They are always difficult to beat at home.

0:22:30 > 0:22:34You know if you are going to get a win over there, you have to be

0:22:34 > 0:22:38patient and take your opportunities.

0:22:38 > 0:22:41Catalan do not deal with a kick-off there and then George Williams,

0:22:41 > 0:22:43who had a great game, actually, over there.

0:22:43 > 0:22:45We spoke about Danny McGuire's ability for Leeds, well,

0:22:45 > 0:22:47he is coming into the best years of his career.

0:22:47 > 0:22:49He has really found form, hasn't he?

0:22:49 > 0:22:53He is a huge player for Wigan.

0:22:53 > 0:22:55A point of difference, a real threat whenever

0:22:55 > 0:22:56he gets the ball in hand.

0:22:56 > 0:22:58He is a talisman.

0:22:58 > 0:23:01One that seems to control the game and can turn the game on its head.

0:23:01 > 0:23:05His involvement in almost every try we can score.

0:23:05 > 0:23:07His involvement in almost every try Wigan score.

0:23:07 > 0:23:08What is going on here?

0:23:08 > 0:23:12The referee is not sure whether he will award the tribe.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15The referee is not sure whether he will award the try.

0:23:15 > 0:23:18He will have to let play developed to see what happens.

0:23:18 > 0:23:19To know to restart the game.

0:23:19 > 0:23:21Wigan with George Williams, great skill again.

0:23:21 > 0:23:25All the way to the other end.

0:23:25 > 0:23:27Poor Robert Hicks, the ref.

0:23:27 > 0:23:28He's definitely got a try!

0:23:28 > 0:23:31He has got a try, he just does not know which way he's

0:23:31 > 0:23:33going to give the try. Upstairs, I've got a try,

0:23:33 > 0:23:35can you tell me who it is for?

0:23:35 > 0:23:36Yes.

0:23:36 > 0:23:39He must have been under pressure and he has done

0:23:39 > 0:23:40a brilliant job, Robert Hicks.

0:23:40 > 0:23:41Absolutely spot on.

0:23:41 > 0:23:44They have gone up the other end and that was grounded.

0:23:44 > 0:23:45Catalans go back in front.

0:23:45 > 0:23:47Again it shows Wigan have to be patient, wait for opportunities.

0:23:47 > 0:23:50It took them getting to the latter stages of the game,

0:23:50 > 0:23:5325 minutes to go and suddenly Wigan start to take opportunities

0:23:53 > 0:23:54and get on top of Catalan.

0:23:54 > 0:23:57It was all Wigan from here on in.

0:23:57 > 0:24:00We talked about Leeds, this is the kind of time in the season

0:24:00 > 0:24:01when Wigan come strong.

0:24:01 > 0:24:06I expect them to do that.

0:24:06 > 0:24:09It would not have seemed it a few weeks ago when they had a so many

0:24:09 > 0:24:12injuries but it could almost be a blessing in disguise.

0:24:12 > 0:24:15They've got hungry, fit players coming back at the right time

0:24:15 > 0:24:18of year and I expect them to start picking up wins and making

0:24:18 > 0:24:19the assault on the top four.

0:24:19 > 0:24:22Gaz mentioned hungry, fit players.

0:24:22 > 0:24:28Do the Catalan Dragons arguably have the opposite of that?

0:24:28 > 0:24:30It is a big job for Steve McNamara, for me.

0:24:30 > 0:24:31A big job.

0:24:31 > 0:24:34He has taken on a big challenge.

0:24:34 > 0:24:35Culturally, probably things have to change.

0:24:35 > 0:24:38They have not been quite right for a few years.

0:24:38 > 0:24:41They have had a big turnover of players.

0:24:41 > 0:24:45When they are in tight games, they seem to fold a little bit.

0:24:45 > 0:24:46Again, the skill of George Williams.

0:24:46 > 0:24:48They used to be impossible to beat.

0:24:48 > 0:24:49They did.

0:24:49 > 0:24:51You knew with Catalans they would have eight,

0:24:51 > 0:24:52nine home wins in the year.

0:24:52 > 0:24:54I don't think you can say that about them now.

0:24:54 > 0:24:58There is something not right in their mentality,

0:24:58 > 0:25:01because it is so difficult a place to travel to.

0:25:01 > 0:25:04And teams are going over there now consistently.

0:25:04 > 0:25:09It is like the thing sport, if they start losing at home,

0:25:09 > 0:25:12It is like the thing in sport, if they start losing at home,

0:25:12 > 0:25:15suddenly teams get a little bit more confident and think they can

0:25:15 > 0:25:17win and Wigan round it off with Joe Burgess.

0:25:17 > 0:25:19It was a great result for Wigan.

0:25:19 > 0:25:23I think they have put a lot of focus on the away performances and it has

0:25:23 > 0:25:25probably detracted from the home ones a little bit.

0:25:25 > 0:25:28I think that is maybe why teams are catching them out a little bit.

0:25:28 > 0:25:31So Wigan on a bit of a roll, and they're next into bat

0:25:31 > 0:25:32in our set-of-six challenge.

0:25:32 > 0:25:37In the hot seat for the champions, it's Liam Farrell.

0:25:37 > 0:25:38Lettuce, tomatoes, avocado.

0:25:38 > 0:25:42Onion.

0:25:42 > 0:25:44Feta cheese.

0:25:44 > 0:25:47How many is that, five?

0:25:47 > 0:25:54And maybe celery.

0:25:54 > 0:25:55Times Square.

0:25:55 > 0:25:57Sydney Opera House.

0:25:57 > 0:25:59Big Ben.

0:25:59 > 0:26:07Great Wall of China.

0:26:07 > 0:26:09Empire State building.

0:26:09 > 0:26:11And MGM Grand.

0:26:11 > 0:26:17I don't know if that counts!

0:26:17 > 0:26:19Oh.

0:26:19 > 0:26:24Pass.

0:26:24 > 0:26:25Roger Federer.

0:26:25 > 0:26:26Rafa Nadal.

0:26:26 > 0:26:31Andy Murray.

0:26:31 > 0:26:32Serena Williams, can you say...?

0:26:32 > 0:26:37Yeah?

0:26:37 > 0:26:43Yeah, pass.

0:26:43 > 0:26:45Car.

0:26:45 > 0:26:46Bus.

0:26:46 > 0:26:47Train.

0:26:47 > 0:26:48Cycle.

0:26:48 > 0:26:51Walk.

0:26:51 > 0:26:57And fly.

0:26:57 > 0:27:00Yes.

0:27:00 > 0:27:07Yellow.

0:27:07 > 0:27:12Yard.

0:27:12 > 0:27:13Pass.

0:27:13 > 0:27:22Hang on.

0:27:27 > 0:27:29St Helens were at home to Hull FC on Friday,

0:27:29 > 0:27:32and this was a fixture that brought back happy memories for the Saints

0:27:32 > 0:27:34coach Justin Holbrook.

0:27:34 > 0:27:38It was back at the Magic Weekend in May that his team handed out

0:27:38 > 0:27:48a hammering to Hull in his first match in charge.

0:27:58 > 0:28:00Talanoa moving into dummy half.

0:28:00 > 0:28:05And Hull looking to move on again here.

0:28:05 > 0:28:08Solid by the wing.

0:28:08 > 0:28:12St Helens push back inside their own territory.

0:28:12 > 0:28:16A little step back on the inside.

0:28:16 > 0:28:21Watts got it away.

0:28:21 > 0:28:22Kelly with the off-load.

0:28:22 > 0:28:24It looked a little forward.

0:28:24 > 0:28:25Griffin is able to burst through and support

0:28:26 > 0:28:28on the inside from Jamie Shaul.

0:28:28 > 0:28:29And Hull finally have first blood.

0:28:29 > 0:28:36Over 20 minutes played.

0:28:36 > 0:28:38Organising things.

0:28:38 > 0:28:42Percival, only just short.

0:28:42 > 0:28:51A big push.

0:28:51 > 0:28:52An urge by Walmsley.

0:28:52 > 0:28:55Here is Roby again and how many times has James Roby done that?

0:28:55 > 0:28:58He thinks it is a try.

0:28:58 > 0:29:01Check the grounding.

0:29:01 > 0:29:08Just making sure he has reached the line and he has, just.

0:29:08 > 0:29:09Hits the whitewash.

0:29:09 > 0:29:10St Helens back in it again.

0:29:10 > 0:29:13After half an hour.

0:29:17 > 0:29:18Roby.

0:29:18 > 0:29:21Lining up on the inside.

0:29:21 > 0:29:24To really press this Hull line.

0:29:24 > 0:29:32Peyroux.

0:29:32 > 0:29:33A real handful here, Peyroux.

0:29:33 > 0:29:36And the referee decides he was held down a little too long.

0:29:36 > 0:29:39Second man in there and they will go for the two points.

0:29:39 > 0:29:40Peyroux struggling to get up.

0:29:40 > 0:29:44Every right to.

0:29:44 > 0:29:46Percival to give St Helens the lead for the first time

0:29:46 > 0:29:52tonight, and over it goes.

0:29:52 > 0:29:59St Helens, when the hooter sounded, lead by eight points to six.

0:29:59 > 0:30:01Scattering them out of the way.

0:30:01 > 0:30:02Wants to get on.

0:30:02 > 0:30:04Forward again.

0:30:04 > 0:30:06The little dummy to Fages.

0:30:06 > 0:30:10But Makinson eventually running into trouble.

0:30:10 > 0:30:16St Helens through Percival.

0:30:16 > 0:30:21It is Roby again.

0:30:21 > 0:30:24Fages looks as though he might be kicking it but instead decides

0:30:24 > 0:30:26to run and what a run.

0:30:26 > 0:30:28Cuts away and Percival, the last man tackled,

0:30:28 > 0:30:30is up there in support to score the try.

0:30:30 > 0:30:36Classy from Fages.

0:30:36 > 0:30:40Good work from Percival to show the energy to get up in support.

0:30:40 > 0:30:42Fages half-dummying a kick.

0:30:42 > 0:30:48Using his hips to move away and finding the man to score the try.

0:30:48 > 0:30:52It is a real tussle going on.

0:30:55 > 0:30:59Thompson throwing it wide left.

0:30:59 > 0:31:01Tuimavave is gobbled up by the defensive

0:31:01 > 0:31:04work of Ryan Morgan.

0:31:04 > 0:31:06Minichiello, sixth tackle.

0:31:06 > 0:31:10Up it goes off the boot of Sneyd.

0:31:10 > 0:31:13Percival.

0:31:13 > 0:31:15Literally handed it to Mahe Fonua.

0:31:15 > 0:31:18Who will go through and score.

0:31:18 > 0:31:21The referee has a look and gives the try.

0:31:21 > 0:31:25Gift of a score for Hull.

0:31:25 > 0:31:34Within touching distance.

0:31:36 > 0:31:39Forward again by McCarthy-Scarsbrook.

0:31:39 > 0:31:41Lomax.

0:31:41 > 0:31:42Roby had a word in his ear.

0:31:42 > 0:31:44Lomax goes on.

0:31:44 > 0:31:48Suddenly they have Thompson running away.

0:31:48 > 0:31:50And they have made terrific ground.

0:31:50 > 0:31:58Roby with a dash.

0:31:58 > 0:32:00Fages in there again and with a little chip

0:32:00 > 0:32:01towards the corner.

0:32:01 > 0:32:02Percival!

0:32:02 > 0:32:06Oh, my word, it's another of those spectacular efforts.

0:32:06 > 0:32:10Even the coaches are open-mouthed in disbelief.

0:32:10 > 0:32:11What does he think?

0:32:11 > 0:32:15He thinks it's a try.

0:32:15 > 0:32:18But they are looking again.

0:32:18 > 0:32:20The ball is knocked forward by Percival, but it does

0:32:20 > 0:32:25not touch anyone else, so that is OK.

0:32:25 > 0:32:27Look at the left foot.

0:32:27 > 0:32:32That is nowhere near touch, but that is touched down

0:32:32 > 0:32:34and that is a very special finish by Mark Percival, his

0:32:34 > 0:32:37second of the game.

0:32:37 > 0:32:40Another wow moment.

0:32:42 > 0:32:43Roby.

0:32:43 > 0:32:46Looking to finish it off, St Helens, if they can.

0:32:46 > 0:32:53Only about four, five minutes left.

0:32:53 > 0:32:56Richardson puts the one-pointer over and that will seal the victory

0:32:56 > 0:32:58for St Helens and a massive victory it is, as they push

0:32:58 > 0:33:05for a top-four spot.

0:33:05 > 0:33:09Quite a few handling errors in this one.

0:33:09 > 0:33:13But there was at least one moment of real class from this guy.

0:33:13 > 0:33:14Oh, believable bit of skill.

0:33:14 > 0:33:16Absolute world-class.

0:33:16 > 0:33:19We know his quality as a centre.

0:33:19 > 0:33:21But to finish this the way he did, this ball.

0:33:21 > 0:33:22A lovely kick.

0:33:22 > 0:33:26No way in the world he should be able to score that.

0:33:26 > 0:33:28To take it out of the air.

0:33:28 > 0:33:31Have the composure and control to get that down before he goes

0:33:31 > 0:33:32over the dead-ball line.

0:33:32 > 0:33:36Fair play to Phil Bentham for giving it as a try.

0:33:36 > 0:33:42A spot-on decision to give the try on field.

0:33:42 > 0:33:43But just the ability and skill level.

0:33:43 > 0:33:48That is what we love about our game.

0:33:48 > 0:33:50Saints are quietly going about their business very well.

0:33:50 > 0:33:52Yes, in recent weeks they have picked up.

0:33:52 > 0:33:54Since Justin Holbrook has taken over.

0:33:54 > 0:33:57They have picked up a few wins and they are the ones creeping

0:33:57 > 0:33:58up behind everybody.

0:33:58 > 0:34:01They have got the pedigree, the players they have

0:34:01 > 0:34:03within their ranks who have done it before.

0:34:03 > 0:34:06They will want to start to pick up wins to bridge the gap

0:34:06 > 0:34:08between the rest and the top four.

0:34:08 > 0:34:09Any complaints from Hull?

0:34:09 > 0:34:10Not at all.

0:34:10 > 0:34:12It was a scrappy game.

0:34:12 > 0:34:15There were a lot of errors.

0:34:15 > 0:34:18Unfortunately we made too many errors in our end of the field

0:34:18 > 0:34:22and ended up defending most of the game.

0:34:22 > 0:34:24When you play against quality opposition, you are always

0:34:24 > 0:34:27going to end up losing on the scoreboard.

0:34:27 > 0:34:30Once the game got out of our grasp, it is hard to chase the game

0:34:31 > 0:34:32in those conditions.

0:34:32 > 0:34:34When we tried, more errors occurred and things got worse.

0:34:34 > 0:34:36No qualms about the results.

0:34:36 > 0:34:37However disappointing it was.

0:34:37 > 0:34:47Crunch time for you, as well.

0:34:48 > 0:34:50Back-to-back defeats and now back-to-back games against Leeds.

0:34:50 > 0:34:52It is a big time of year for us now.

0:34:52 > 0:34:54It is getting tighter in the top four.

0:34:54 > 0:34:57There was a gap at one stage, but that has closed

0:34:57 > 0:34:58up in recent weeks.

0:34:58 > 0:35:01It is something we will have to address and work hard on and make

0:35:01 > 0:35:03headway over the next few weeks.

0:35:03 > 0:35:05Is this a wobble from Hull, or what the fixture

0:35:05 > 0:35:07generator has thrown up?

0:35:07 > 0:35:12If you look at Hull as a squad of players there is some absolutely

0:35:13 > 0:35:14brilliant talent in there.

0:35:14 > 0:35:17You would probably say yes, it is a wobble, and I think

0:35:17 > 0:35:19they will come good towards the end of the year.

0:35:19 > 0:35:21Just to touch on that again.

0:35:21 > 0:35:23You have St Helens and Wigan coming good.

0:35:23 > 0:35:25All of the players starting to come back.

0:35:25 > 0:35:28That top five, that has been way in front of everybody else,

0:35:28 > 0:35:29is starting to look over their shoulder, massively.

0:35:29 > 0:35:32We already knew that Leigh were heading to the qualifiers,

0:35:32 > 0:35:34but will Warrington be joining them?

0:35:34 > 0:35:36It's pretty much win or bust from here for the Wolves,

0:35:36 > 0:35:40and they rose to the challenge on Friday, Gareth.

0:35:40 > 0:35:42Yes, a huge win for them and watching the game

0:35:42 > 0:35:43you would not have thought

0:35:43 > 0:35:46they were in the position they are in.

0:35:46 > 0:35:52It is a tough place for them at the minute and I am sure

0:35:52 > 0:35:55they will take a lot of credit for this game,

0:35:55 > 0:35:56scoring so many points.

0:35:56 > 0:35:58Vintage Ryan Atkins.

0:35:58 > 0:35:59Loves a try from there.

0:35:59 > 0:36:00Exactly, yeah.

0:36:00 > 0:36:02Those are the things we are used to seeing Warrington do.

0:36:02 > 0:36:05Stefan Ratchford was William in this game, as well,

0:36:05 > 0:36:12coming up with massive plays.

0:36:12 > 0:36:13That is a sin-binning for Westwood?

0:36:13 > 0:36:16He has just tipped him up, it is a dangerous tackle.

0:36:16 > 0:36:17They will look at that.

0:36:17 > 0:36:20They will see if he will be up against the judiciary this week.

0:36:20 > 0:36:22I don't think there was any malice.

0:36:22 > 0:36:23His arms were up.

0:36:23 > 0:36:25Patton loves a little kick.

0:36:25 > 0:36:27We know Warrington have this quality and we know

0:36:27 > 0:36:29they have this in the locker, they just have not

0:36:29 > 0:36:31brought it out this year.

0:36:31 > 0:36:32They have been stuttering and staggering.

0:36:32 > 0:36:34For them now, it is just about keeping this form

0:36:34 > 0:36:36going into the middle eights.

0:36:36 > 0:36:38Because if they keep this form, they will be too strong

0:36:38 > 0:36:39for the middle eights.

0:36:39 > 0:36:41They have a real danger man.

0:36:41 > 0:36:43We just saw him score the first of four tries.

0:36:43 > 0:36:45Tommy Lineham. He is a try scoring machine.

0:36:45 > 0:36:47He has done that all his career.

0:36:47 > 0:36:53He will want to get on the end of a few more tries to finish

0:36:53 > 0:36:55with at least some positivity. Whichever scenario it

0:36:55 > 0:37:00ends up for Warrington, I'm sure if the players are playing

0:37:00 > 0:37:02well towards the end they will have no in what ever

0:37:03 > 0:37:04scenario they end up in.

0:37:04 > 0:37:06Leigh, Iestyn, made a couple of big decisions.

0:37:06 > 0:37:08They handed a couple of players debuts, including

0:37:08 > 0:37:09Mortimer at half-back.

0:37:09 > 0:37:11As a former half-back, at this stage in the season,

0:37:11 > 0:37:13what does that say to you?

0:37:13 > 0:37:16It is difficult to find form as a half coming into a team

0:37:16 > 0:37:24so close to crunch time with the middle eights coming.

0:37:24 > 0:37:25Panic?

0:37:25 > 0:37:26They are not in a great place.

0:37:26 > 0:37:29Warrington, yes, have form, and have scored great tries,

0:37:29 > 0:37:31but you would have to challenge the Leigh defence.

0:37:31 > 0:37:34The Leigh confidence at the moment.

0:37:34 > 0:37:36It is such a difficult thing, the middle eights.

0:37:36 > 0:37:42If they go into the middle eights low in confidence,

0:37:42 > 0:37:45they are not used to the winning habit, you can get caught cold.

0:37:45 > 0:37:46It will be desperate.

0:37:46 > 0:37:49Neil Jukes, the head coach, a great coach, will be desperate

0:37:49 > 0:37:51to get them back on winning ways.

0:37:51 > 0:37:54Neil said there were no positives to take.

0:37:54 > 0:37:57If you are looking for one from him, it is they know their way

0:37:57 > 0:37:58around the qualifiers.

0:37:58 > 0:37:59They do.

0:37:59 > 0:38:01They have experience in them.

0:38:01 > 0:38:04I thought going into the season they have a lot of old heads.

0:38:04 > 0:38:05Are they a little bit too old?

0:38:05 > 0:38:08Sorry, Gazza.

0:38:08 > 0:38:10It's all right!

0:38:10 > 0:38:13What you can do is carry two or three older heads with some

0:38:13 > 0:38:18great youngsters around.

0:38:18 > 0:38:19Cameraman sold a dummy!

0:38:19 > 0:38:21He was too quick for Stefan Ratchford.

0:38:21 > 0:38:22A brilliant player, isn't he?

0:38:22 > 0:38:24I think perhaps Leigh have too many old heads.

0:38:24 > 0:38:27They need young quality to take them around the field

0:38:27 > 0:38:29and perhaps that is where they have lacked consistency.

0:38:29 > 0:38:31I think that all of the teams in that position, given

0:38:31 > 0:38:33the opportunity, would love to bring in players.

0:38:33 > 0:38:35I think it freshens up the squad.

0:38:35 > 0:38:36I think they will welcome Mortimer.

0:38:36 > 0:38:38He will add stability to their team.

0:38:38 > 0:38:42And liven things up for everybody else.

0:38:42 > 0:38:47I think Warrington have done it with Hiku and Pomeroy.

0:38:47 > 0:38:49They will be hoping they will make a difference within whatever

0:38:49 > 0:38:51situation they end up in.

0:38:51 > 0:38:56So the absolute opposite.

0:38:56 > 0:38:58Of panic - that is me told!

0:38:58 > 0:39:00Widnes were requiring snookers to avoid a fight

0:39:00 > 0:39:01for survival in the qualifiers.

0:39:01 > 0:39:03They started the week six points from safety with only

0:39:03 > 0:39:06six left to play for, so they simply had to win

0:39:06 > 0:39:07at Huddersfield on Friday.

0:39:07 > 0:39:08Commentary from Matt Newsum.

0:39:08 > 0:39:09And the Giants take the penalty.

0:39:09 > 0:39:12Sam Rapira.

0:39:12 > 0:39:13Looking to burrow his way through.

0:39:13 > 0:39:14Stopped just short.

0:39:14 > 0:39:15Leeming, from dummy half.

0:39:15 > 0:39:16Switches the attack.

0:39:16 > 0:39:17Wakeman crashes in.

0:39:17 > 0:39:18Leeming, to Brough.

0:39:18 > 0:39:19Tempting, teasing the line.

0:39:19 > 0:39:21Ridyard, good hands from the Giants.

0:39:21 > 0:39:22McGillvray in the corner.

0:39:22 > 0:39:23Takes it in the field.

0:39:23 > 0:39:24And scores.

0:39:24 > 0:39:26Huddersfield Town is running the show here.

0:39:26 > 0:39:27The confidence boosting start.

0:39:27 > 0:39:28Leeming takes it to the line.

0:39:28 > 0:39:29Ryan Hinchcliffe just saunters through.

0:39:29 > 0:39:31Where was the Widnes defence?

0:39:31 > 0:39:32O'Brien, to Ridyard.

0:39:32 > 0:39:33Again, they are causing with problems.

0:39:33 > 0:39:43Around their own line.

0:39:47 > 0:39:49Ryan Hinchcliffe just saunters through.

0:39:49 > 0:39:52Where was the Widnes defence?

0:39:52 > 0:39:58O'Brien, to Ridyard.

0:39:58 > 0:40:00Again, they are causing Widnes problems.

0:40:00 > 0:40:01Around their own line.

0:40:01 > 0:40:02O'Brien takes it himself.

0:40:02 > 0:40:10He will burrow his way in and that is a smart score.

0:40:10 > 0:40:11Brough across the line.

0:40:11 > 0:40:12Looking for a gap.

0:40:12 > 0:40:13Good hands.

0:40:13 > 0:40:16Out on the left-hand side and it is taken back

0:40:16 > 0:40:22infield by McIntosh.

0:40:22 > 0:40:25Huddersfield Giants will not have many easier games on home turf

0:40:25 > 0:40:29than this one this season.

0:40:29 > 0:40:35They are 13-0 up and they sniff blood as they come to the right.

0:40:35 > 0:40:36Brough delays the pass.

0:40:36 > 0:40:38Ridyard.

0:40:38 > 0:40:40Beats McGillvray and that is his second try of the game.

0:40:41 > 0:40:42Leeming.

0:40:42 > 0:40:44Offers one up to Rapira.

0:40:44 > 0:40:46He will look to bash his way through.

0:40:46 > 0:40:48Widnes cling on for dear life.

0:40:48 > 0:40:51Leeming.

0:40:51 > 0:40:53Ta'ai!

0:40:53 > 0:40:54That will finish it.

0:40:54 > 0:40:59A thoroughly convincing win for Huddersfield.

0:40:59 > 0:41:01One defeat in six now.

0:41:01 > 0:41:03A bit of a turnaround for Huddersfield.

0:41:03 > 0:41:06I think they have been terrific and found confidence.

0:41:06 > 0:41:10They fell off the wagon a little bit last week.

0:41:10 > 0:41:12Against Salford, but got straight back to form against Widnes

0:41:12 > 0:41:15and Widnes were not the best on that day but Huddersfield are feeling

0:41:15 > 0:41:18confident with the top eight looking likely for them.

0:41:18 > 0:41:20And just briefly, Denis Betts says he was embarrassed

0:41:20 > 0:41:22by that from his side.

0:41:22 > 0:41:23Would you have been?

0:41:23 > 0:41:25Yes, I think they have almost resigned themselves

0:41:25 > 0:41:27to the bottom four.

0:41:27 > 0:41:30Hopefully they will be able to prepare, put this to bed

0:41:30 > 0:41:33and prepare for what is coming next.

0:41:33 > 0:41:35So just two rounds to go before the Super 8s,

0:41:35 > 0:41:42and here's how they're standing in the Betfred Super League table.

0:41:42 > 0:41:46Leeds move up to second after their win at Salford,

0:41:46 > 0:41:48but Rhinos are eight points behind Castleford.

0:41:48 > 0:41:51Wigan are now certain to avoid the qualifiers,
