0:00:35 > 0:00:38Hello.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41April has arrived and Super League's peak period looms large.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43It's Round 7 and here's how the teams have been
0:00:43 > 0:00:51shaping up so far.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36The man with the million pound boot is with us.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Salford's Gareth O'Brien is alongside the Wakefield director
0:01:38 > 0:01:42of rugby, John Kear.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46It was Super League's 21st birthday last week and the party included one
0:01:46 > 0:01:48of the biggest match ups of the season as Leeds took
0:01:48 > 0:01:51on their old rivals, Wigan.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Parcell will look inside again.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Leeds looking to take advantage of this wonderful position.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Leuluai with the interception though.
0:02:23 > 0:02:28He has come from an offside position.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31You can see there on the line.
0:02:31 > 0:02:36Leuluai clearly ahead of it.
0:02:36 > 0:02:42A chance for a settler.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Ashton Golding puts this over.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Leeds will lead by 2-0 with seven minutes played.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52It's Powell.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Williams stepping back.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57On the left foot again, George Williams.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59He's looking for a way through.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02He's found a way through.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05The wonderful stepper that he is.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09George Williams with a try.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Powell, Wigan, looking to pummel this line, if they can.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14It's gone through fingers though.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Leeds coming up with possession.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Given away.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Ablett.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25And down the middle comes Calum Watkins in full flight.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29A magnificent run from Watkins.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Hall in support.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34He's the man to touch down but that was vintage
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Calum Watkins to set things up.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38What an angle!
0:03:38 > 0:03:41What a run!
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Parcell, plenty of support again here.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47It's the long-legged Anthony Mullally, who is put down
0:03:47 > 0:03:49within sight of that line.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Parcell spins it back.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Moon.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57We have seen some tries of real quality tonight.
0:03:57 > 0:04:06Terrific from Joel Moon.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Tautai will take it in hard.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13The Leeds defence is there to suffocate his ambitions.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Or are they?
0:04:16 > 0:04:18He has got it away.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Good play from Tautei.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Williams again.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Slick flick back.
0:04:27 > 0:04:28Powell...
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Williams...
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Stepping on the outside of Delaney.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Delaney is left punching the ground.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Williams with another wonderful, solo effort.
0:04:38 > 0:04:44He's having quite a night.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48Trying to get a bit of room and a bit of yardage forward.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Here's wrestled to the ground by those three defenders.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56He is clearly hurt, Oliver Gildart.
0:04:56 > 0:05:05A muscular effort from the Leeds defenders.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10That looks suspiciously like it might have been a crusher tackle.
0:05:10 > 0:05:17Ten minutes in the sin-bin for Brett Ferres for the crusher tackle.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Watkins...
0:05:19 > 0:05:24Boy, is he in the mood tonight?
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Going across the Wigan line.
0:05:28 > 0:05:33Parcell, up and going.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Liam Forsyth not square of the marker.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39You can see getting to his feet.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40Clearly not where he should have been.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Penalty here for Leeds.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46A two-point lead at the moment.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Ashton Golding puts this over.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51It is a four-point lead.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Maybe they are edging close to victory or maybe
0:05:54 > 0:05:58Wigan have a response.
0:05:58 > 0:06:07Not sure whether to put it long or bring it short.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Wigan again running circles here to try to find a way
0:06:12 > 0:06:14through the Leeds defence.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17The short pass here will be held up.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18Very close to where he wants to be.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Another little spin here.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Has he gone over?
0:06:23 > 0:06:26It is Gregson who is claiming it.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Try on the field.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Looking for the grounding here.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Gregson...
0:06:32 > 0:06:34He is short there.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Is that a double movement?
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Was there a second movement to promote the ball?
0:06:40 > 0:06:43The video referee decides there was.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45It is ruled out and a penalty for Leeds.
0:06:46 > 0:06:53The scare survived.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57One of his best efforts to try to get it away.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Quickly from dummy half again.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Across it comes.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06Across to Calum Watkins.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07Suddenly on the side of that defence.
0:07:07 > 0:07:15Watkins goes on his outside.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Watkins with the step and will score another magnificent try.
0:07:18 > 0:07:27Well, he's at the peak of his powers tonight, Callum Watkins.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Watkins again with the offload.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31Leeds having to keep it alive here.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33They have lost it.
0:07:33 > 0:07:38Marshall is in the clear.
0:07:38 > 0:07:47I don't think they're going to stop him.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Marshall is making quite a name for himself already this season.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Wigan have real hope now.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53They need to score here.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Surely?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Ablett marching in.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Carl Ablett is having an eye-catching second half.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03What an impact he has had.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07He caps it with a try that will seal the deal for Leeds Rhinos tonight.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10They are going to win this.
0:08:10 > 0:08:18It is four wins out of four in the month of March for Leeds.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20John, can we officially say the Castleford game
0:08:20 > 0:08:22was a blip for Leeds, do you think?
0:08:22 > 0:08:25I think it won't be referred to as much now because they were
0:08:25 > 0:08:26magnificent psychologically.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28He took the pressure off publicly by saying
0:08:28 > 0:08:31they are on a month's notice, so back off and let them
0:08:31 > 0:08:32get on with the job.
0:08:32 > 0:08:38I'm sure that privately they will have felt the pressure.
0:08:38 > 0:08:43They have come up with the goods.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45They have played four really good games and four wins.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48I think Leeds will be smiling at this moment in time.
0:08:48 > 0:08:53Do you feel them?
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Do you watch them growing in confidence as well?
0:08:55 > 0:08:57They have such a tough year, last year.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59As the beginning of this year been a little bit
0:08:59 > 0:09:00of a rebuilding process?
0:09:00 > 0:09:01Potentially, yes.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04No unexpectedly do have the year they did last year.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05I don't think it's a case of rebuilding.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08They put that behind them and attacked this
0:09:08 > 0:09:11year as a new year.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13We are seeing the Leeds of old, throwing the ball around
0:09:13 > 0:09:16the forwards and support play as well, so they are in good form.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Callum Watkins is the Calum Watkins we all know.
0:09:19 > 0:09:20He had a fantastic game.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Is this as much about how the rest of the team are playing with him?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25That is a great ball from Carl Ablett.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27The line he hits there is superb.
0:09:27 > 0:09:28The line is great.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29The timing is great.
0:09:29 > 0:09:30It's a great finish.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32He's like a thoroughbred racehorse, he really is.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33He just eats the ground up.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37This is perfect for Carl Watkins.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39An early pass in space.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41There is only one thing that happens.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44You may as well put your glasses down and applaud the try.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46How hard is he to stop?
0:09:46 > 0:09:49He is a big, attacking player.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52I think the way to probably nullify that is to get up in his face
0:09:52 > 0:09:53and cut his time down.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55You know, that's what he wants.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Early ball in his hands.
0:09:57 > 0:10:03Just skip around his opposite centre.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06They put John Moon in at centre half the last three games.
0:10:06 > 0:10:12What has that done for Leeds?
0:10:12 > 0:10:14I think it certainly gives them a running threat.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16He's very elusive.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18It's a bit of an expectancy you have got.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Danny McGuire has done a really good job, organising the structure
0:10:21 > 0:10:22of the Leeds Rhinos.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Joel runs has that bit of an X Factor.
0:10:24 > 0:10:25He is coming up with tries.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Physically he is a big guy as well.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Their edges may well be shored up as well.
0:10:30 > 0:10:31For Wigan, that's three games without a win.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33They started the season so well.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34Injuries have hit again.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Do you feel the structure is so strong it won't wobble.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38I don't think it will.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39He has done a tremendous job.
0:10:39 > 0:10:48Pete the boys up, I sure.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52-- He will pick the boys up.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54You will look for a big response against Castleford.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57What Warrington and Hull fought out for the Challenge Cup and the league
0:10:57 > 0:10:58leaders shield last year.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00They were at opposite ends of the table.
0:11:00 > 0:11:01On Saturday, the walls were still looking for their first win.
0:11:07 > 0:11:14Good position this for the black and whites.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15Still Albert Kelly.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18His eye is in.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20He cannot stop scoring, the number six.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21Clark at dummy half.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26The ball is on the floor.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30Bit messy.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34He has got it again.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Out to Russell chance in the corner.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40It will take some finishing has got down question I think he has.
0:11:40 > 0:11:41Clark, to his left.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42Flat pass.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46It has been picked.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49Jake Connor, no doubt here, we'll go 90 metres for Hull FC.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Connor is not stopping the black and Whites
0:11:51 > 0:11:54have their second of the afternoon.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Liam Watts.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Round the defence.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03Westwood and Atkins as well.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07And, a bit slow getting off.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09The referee puts the whistle to his lips.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12That's a penalty.
0:12:12 > 0:12:18Hull taking the two would point at a premium.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21That kick is good.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Warrington on the attack.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25Ratchford's mistake.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Picked up by Lytton.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Rare turn of pace.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33He has one as well.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36This is familiar.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39He will go the length.
0:12:39 > 0:12:46Hull FC with two long-range tries.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49The second coming from the fullback.
0:12:49 > 0:12:54Dwyer, to Brown.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56That's Ratchford.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59It will go out to Russell again.
0:12:59 > 0:13:07Fantastic finish.
0:13:07 > 0:13:15Hull breaking away again.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17He goes the other way.
0:13:17 > 0:13:22Westwood is in as well.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26The referee puts that whistle has gone.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30Another penalty.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33I think Steve wants to take the two.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Easy as you like.
0:13:36 > 0:13:42Atkins scoots to the right of the ruck.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Tackled by Watts.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Taylor as well.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Clark plays the ball.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Dummies.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52He is through.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53Daryl Clark.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Brute strength.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58He is over.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Clark, to Brown.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04Put out the pass for a hat-trick.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Russell is in.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Stevie Michaels couldn't stop him.
0:14:09 > 0:14:15Matty Russell has a hat-trick.
0:14:15 > 0:14:20Clark again.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22To Kevin Brown.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Connor with the tackle.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27The referee again puts whistle to lips.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Warrington have a chance to level things up here.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31That kick is good and it is 22 points apiece.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35Wolves with their first of 2017 or will all hold on for the win?
0:14:35 > 0:14:36A chance for Snead.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38A long-range drop goal.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41He got the length but not the direction.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Snead misses.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Gidley to win it.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Kicks on his way.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50The crowd are up.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53The flag is up.
0:14:53 > 0:14:54He has missed.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57That drop goal is not in the class of your own, of course.
0:14:57 > 0:14:58Your old club, Warrington.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01How much will that second-half revival do for them to finally get
0:15:01 > 0:15:02a point on the board?
0:15:02 > 0:15:04It will definitely pick them up confidence wise.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06They had a slow start to the season.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08All clubs go through it.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09The highs and lows of sport.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Warrington, I'm sure they will look at the second half and take up
0:15:12 > 0:15:14the positives and look to crack on now.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18I was listening to Tony Smith.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20He was on 5live with Mark Chapman.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22He was trying to be upbeat about the second-half
0:15:22 > 0:15:24but you could feel it about the errors.
0:15:24 > 0:15:25They were still there.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26What has been the mood?
0:15:26 > 0:15:27You still have good friends.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29What is the mood amongst them?
0:15:29 > 0:15:30They will be panicking.
0:15:30 > 0:15:39They are all professionals.
0:15:42 > 0:15:48They will know what kind of situation they are in.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51And what they will need to do to nullify the mistakes on the field.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54They will take this next game as a fresh way to prepare and look
0:15:55 > 0:15:56to get the first one.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59For Hull, that's two weeks in a row they've had a healthy lead
0:15:59 > 0:16:01and the second-half they'd gone into their shell, the word
0:16:01 > 0:16:02that Lee Bradford used.
0:16:02 > 0:16:03What's going on?
0:16:03 > 0:16:06It appeared they got one eye on the clock and they are hoping
0:16:06 > 0:16:09the clock would run down and they've got enough postage on scoreboard.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12You've just got to keep your foot on the accelerator and keep doing
0:16:12 > 0:16:15the process of rugby league with the same intensity and focus.
0:16:15 > 0:16:16The time looks after itself.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17They'll be learning that.
0:16:17 > 0:16:18Lee is a smart guy.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21He will address that and attempt to make sure that
0:16:21 > 0:16:22does not happen again.
0:16:22 > 0:16:27It makes this weekend was my game is pretty interesting.
0:16:27 > 0:16:32-- this weekend's game.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36You are this weekend's game full would you expect a backlash?
0:16:36 > 0:16:41Will they have had a bit of a roasting from Lee?
0:16:41 > 0:16:44We will expect very physical game.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46We will need to control the ruck against Hull.
0:16:46 > 0:16:47Especially at their place.
0:16:47 > 0:16:48A big crowd.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49They definitely get behind them.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53We will go there full of confidence and hopefully we can get a win.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55So, Warrington have a point on the board.
0:16:55 > 0:16:56What are their neighbours, Widnes?
0:16:56 > 0:16:57They were at Leigh on Saturday.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59They got off to a great start, John.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06They really did.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09It's the first time they had two half-backs since the first game
0:17:09 > 0:17:11of the season, playing together.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14They are together, two specialist halves.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18They really make a difference.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21The first hat-trick try.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24I felt Gilmore steered the team around the pitch very well.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26The kicking game was very good indeed.
0:17:26 > 0:17:31Leeds came up with some good touches as well.
0:17:31 > 0:17:36Looked as if they were getting back into the game.
0:17:36 > 0:17:46There was a try by Crooks.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48They seemed to have something extra, did the Widnes Vikings.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50There's some good day all round here.
0:17:50 > 0:18:00Great support.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Once again it has come across under the Hs.
0:18:02 > 0:18:11We talked about what appointed do for Warrington will stop they lost
0:18:11 > 0:18:13two guys to concussion.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16What can a performance like this do for the rest of their season?
0:18:16 > 0:18:18It is massive.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20The last 20 minutes they did not have a south.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22To grind out a win, especially at Leeds,
0:18:22 > 0:18:24it is a really good start to the season.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26The Widnes boys will be full of confidence.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29To have two halves on the field, it looks to be a big difference
0:18:29 > 0:18:31as to how the team attacks.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Danny was really good in the game.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35He got hat-trick.
0:18:35 > 0:18:43They were stronger this week.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47White may well return.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51You put them with Gilmore at the back and they have a good
0:18:51 > 0:18:59spine, some hard-working forwards as well.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01A big blow for Leeds to lose at home.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03They have talked about making their home their fortress.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05They have been pretty unbeatable while they have been
0:19:05 > 0:19:06in the championship.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08They have got a couple of losses already.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10That is life in Super League.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12I think they did better than everybody expected
0:19:12 > 0:19:14initially but now they may well have plateaued.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16I am certain they will look to take another step forward.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17They are tough.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Anybody who goes there and think otherwise are fools.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Plenty of chapter at the moment about where Wakefield might be
0:19:22 > 0:19:23playing next season.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26On Saturday they were in the south of France to take on Catalan.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28We join it with Wakefield leading 2-0.
0:19:28 > 0:19:29Matt Newson was watching.
0:19:29 > 0:19:30Wakefield from the penalty will tap.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32The big runners coming in now.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Catalan swarming at the ruck at the moment.
0:19:34 > 0:19:35They will go back to the right edge.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36Taken in again.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Out towards the right-hand side.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42Jones-Bishop.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43Jones-Bishop finishes it off.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47He had a lot to do for them he has done it really.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50A fine finish.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Jones-Bishop bloodied from that try earlier in the game.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Wakefield, at the moment, are completely on top of this game.
0:19:56 > 0:20:03Joe Rundle, a lovely pop pass.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Jones-Bishop goes airborne.
0:20:05 > 0:20:14That is his second try, or is it?
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Well, Gareth Hewer will take a look to the video referee
0:20:16 > 0:20:18try onfield decision.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Well, Jones-Bishop does so well here.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22It looks as though Richie Myler's going to clear him out,
0:20:22 > 0:20:25but it's the presence of mind to stay off the floor
0:20:25 > 0:20:26and get that ball down.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28And a deserved second try.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30And Wakefield are coasting.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33First real sign that Catalan have had of the Wakefield half
0:20:33 > 0:20:35early in this, well, should I say half?
0:20:35 > 0:20:37We are an hour, almost, into this game.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Da Costa.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42They're going to switch to this right-hand side.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Just a little bit of a shake from the Catalans.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47But it's been picked up here by Tom Johnstone.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Well, he's dropped two already, and he's going to go
0:20:50 > 0:20:52the length of the field.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54And he's caught it when it mattered.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56And Tom Johnstone has scored a terrific breakaway try.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58And Wakefield right on top.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01It's been a top half for the Perpignan club.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04And that is a fierce bit of defence from Wakefield, setting the tone.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08Da Costa will come to this right edge, then.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Slippery run from Ben Garcia.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Garcia is still going here.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15I think he might just have outpaced the cover.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Has he got to the line?
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Scott Grix did his best.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Ben Garcia thinks he's scored.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25And again, the video referee has a job to do,
0:21:25 > 0:21:28to try the onfield decision.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Did momentum take him over?
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Well, Grix is doing everything in his power to stop him.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36But I think he's got that ball down.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38And Catalan will have their first try of the game.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41And it is confirmed.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44A rare bright spot for them.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Wakefield in the centre of the field at the moment.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Off-loads well to Wood.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52This is where Wakefield have been so dangerous,
0:21:52 > 0:21:55popping this ball around here, as Wood finds his man, Williams.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Williams away to this right-hand side.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02Wakefield might go in here with Joe Arundel.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Well, he created one in the first half, and now he's got one himself.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08And Wakefield are just running away with this game.
0:22:08 > 0:22:13They've been caught cold early on in this second-half, Catalan.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16They're looking to dish some punishment out to Wakefield.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20Myler, takes the ball to the line.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Walsh.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Away to this right edge.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Bosc gets it in to Krisnan Inu.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Inu's going to make his way through.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33And I think he might well have just finished that.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Just too powerful, the big Kiwi.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38And Catalan showing some fight.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Great play by Jacob Miller.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Gets the ball away.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Again, they're well poised.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Finn.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Targeting this left-hand side.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Jacob Miller.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Short little pass to Matty Ashurst.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Well, he hit a great line, and he just could not be stopped.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59And Wakefield edge further ahead.
0:22:59 > 0:23:05Not even an hour gone, and Wakefield are fully in control.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Bill Tupou.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12Will he be caught?
0:23:12 > 0:23:15He's got support outside of him but, in the end, he's tackled,
0:23:15 > 0:23:18and wins the penalty.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21And Catalan at sixes and sevens.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Well, it was desperate stuff.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27And Gareth Hewer sends him formally to the bin.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30They're down on the board and now they're down on troops as well.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32And Thornley trots away.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Sam Moa, frustrated.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37This game is not going Catalans' way, in any sense
0:23:37 > 0:23:39or shape of the word.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43And there is Ben Jones-Bishop to catch the ball, from the kick.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45And it's a great little break from him.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Is it going to burst the line here?
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Ben Jones-Bishop, has he got the pace to cling
0:23:49 > 0:23:52on for his hat-trick?
0:23:52 > 0:23:55He's going to finish this one, he touches down under the sticks!
0:23:55 > 0:23:57And Ben Jones-Bishop gets the hat trick!
0:23:57 > 0:24:01Walsh just drops one off to Sam Moa.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Tries to skirt the line.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Wakefield honest as ever in defence.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09What can he spin?
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Myler, real close to the ruck.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Puts a little kick over the top.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17It's going to be taken in by Fouad Yaha.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19And he finishes very well.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Well, it's nothing more than a consolation, if it's
0:24:21 > 0:24:24awarded by Gareth Hewer.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26And again, he goes to the video referee.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Yaha, great spin.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Kept his feet in touch.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Ooh, did he lose the ball?
0:24:33 > 0:24:35And that's a generous one, if it's given, for me.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37And it is.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41Well, something for Catalan to cheer.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Paul Aiton.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Goes to Walsh.
0:24:46 > 0:24:47Has he got an inside ball?
0:24:47 > 0:24:50No, he flicks it away to that right-hand side.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Little tip on by Inu, but it's fallen again to Tom Johnstone.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55And we've already seen him scoot away for an intercept here.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Is he going to get a second?
0:24:57 > 0:25:00He's going to race clear.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03He will not be caught and will touch down under the sticks.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Tom Johnstone caps it.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07That's four wins from five for Wakefield.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09John, maybe you fancy a move to the South of France,
0:25:09 > 0:25:12it seems to suit you all!
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Yes, well, Perpignan, or whatever everyone calls it.
0:25:14 > 0:25:15No, we'll just play at Bellevue.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17We'll play at Wakefield whilst ever we're there.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20No, it's very pleasing, that.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Joking aside, the best performance, would you say, of the season?
0:25:23 > 0:25:25The best 80-minute performance here.
0:25:25 > 0:25:30We've had great 20 minutes here and halves, or 60 minutes,
0:25:30 > 0:25:33but we feel that we really nailed it - except for one or two
0:25:33 > 0:25:35defensive blips - for the full 80 minutes there.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36The half-backs controlled the game.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38The wingers took their chances really well.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41And the forwards really stood up to that tough Catalan back.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Ben Jones-Bishop, you mentioned the wingers, Ben Jones-Bishop,
0:25:43 > 0:25:44three very different tries from him.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47How good a player is this guy?
0:25:47 > 0:25:49He's a very good player.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51I mean, we're blessed with wingers.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Mason Caton-Brown can't get in at the minute.
0:25:53 > 0:26:01Tom Johnstone, and then there's this guy.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04And as you see here, he's got great evasive skills there.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07He's carrying the ball in his right hand, he shields
0:26:07 > 0:26:09the ball as their defenders, cross the cross, so that's one
0:26:10 > 0:26:11for evasion and strength.
0:26:11 > 0:26:12This one is for acrobatic ability.
0:26:12 > 0:26:13Great ball from Joe Arundel.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15But that's just a gymnast's try really there.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18And great control with his right hand, the grip.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20And I suppose this is a speedster's try.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23He breaks the kick chase, defends there.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25And, you know, again, we've referred to racehorses,
0:26:25 > 0:26:28he's just gliding over the ground there.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31In total control there of everybody.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33We knew full well once he'd hit the fresh air,
0:26:33 > 0:26:35that was going to be four points for us.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Is he another one that if you're at the full-back,
0:26:38 > 0:26:39he's a tough one to stop?
0:26:39 > 0:26:41You can see him there flying at you!
0:26:41 > 0:26:43He's deceptively strong, Bish, as well.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45No, he's really quick in full flight and definitely something
0:26:45 > 0:26:47I don't like looking at, as a full-back!
0:26:47 > 0:26:49And Chris Chester, a new two-year deal for him.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Does that include a pay rise for yourself, as the boss?
0:26:52 > 0:26:53No, Chris deserves his two-year deal.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56But Michael agreed with him when he first took over that they'd
0:26:56 > 0:26:58review it in 12 months.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00They've tagged on another two years and I think the players
0:27:00 > 0:27:01responded tremendously well
0:27:01 > 0:27:03and things are looking good at the minute.
0:27:03 > 0:27:08But we know it's not a six, seven-game competition.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11We're just coming up to a third of the way through the season.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13There's still another two thirds, when it gets really pressured,
0:27:13 > 0:27:15before obviously it splits into the three eights.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17And what did you make of Catalan?
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Yes, nervy, very nervy.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22When you arrived at the ground, you just sensed there
0:27:22 > 0:27:23was a nervousness about the place.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26A sense of trepidation.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29And we just felt that if we went there and stayed
0:27:29 > 0:27:31with them initially, that we'd get on top of them.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34And that obviously is what happened.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37And you'll be hoping they stay nervous at home because you've got
0:27:37 > 0:27:38them over Easter over there, haven't you?
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Yeah, we've got them over the Easter period, on the Monday,
0:27:41 > 0:27:43so it will be our second game.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45I'm sure it will be a real tough test.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47It's always tough going over to Catalan.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50It's a real tough place to go and win.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52As I say, we'll be looking forward to that one.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54And tired, I should think, by that point!
0:27:54 > 0:27:55Yeah.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Well, Salford are the only team to beat the leaders -
0:27:58 > 0:27:59Castleford - so far this season.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02They were looking for a third straight win when they took
0:28:02 > 0:28:03on St Helens on Thursday.
0:28:03 > 0:28:03Dave Woods saw this one.
0:28:08 > 0:28:09Brinning under dummy half.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Oh, he's spotted a little gap there, but cuts across,
0:28:12 > 0:28:17with a covering tackle.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Kopczak, out of dummy half, will have a go.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Salford looking to build some momentum here.
0:28:21 > 0:28:30They have a penalty.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35The referee deciding that Adam Walker was hanging
0:28:35 > 0:28:38on here just a little too long.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41So Michael Dobson settles himself here and, left-footed,
0:28:41 > 0:28:50hits it high into and beyond that stand, and Salford have the lead.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Brinning.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57St Helens' defence being tested again here.
0:28:57 > 0:28:58Brinning.
0:28:58 > 0:28:59Shaped left, went right.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01Kopczak!
0:29:01 > 0:29:04And in the week when he's just signed an extension to his contract,
0:29:04 > 0:29:13it's Craig Kopczak who celebrates with his first try of the season.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Brinning.
0:29:15 > 0:29:20A little step back on the inside here by Carney.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22Off-loading it, and they keep it alive.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24And now the break from Kopczak, who goes galloping through.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27They're closing in, but he's got support.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29And Dobson is over, for what could be a crucial try.
0:29:29 > 0:29:39Roby.
0:29:41 > 0:29:47A little spin, and a turn here by Amor, who's not far away.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49Roby again going left.
0:29:49 > 0:29:50And a crash-bang-wallop effort.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53And I think that Walmsley's got that.
0:29:53 > 0:29:57The referee concurs.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03Dobson.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05High and hanging.
0:30:05 > 0:30:06Lui underneath it.
0:30:06 > 0:30:07The ball's gone to ground.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09It's pinging all over the place here.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11It's picked up in the end by Lomax.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15And suddenly, St Helens have a chance to break away here.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17And it's into the hands of Morgan, who can move a bit.
0:30:17 > 0:30:18But across comes Flanagan.
0:30:18 > 0:30:19Morgan's away.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22Oh, Flanagan, with a wonderful cover tackle.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24The forward against the three quarter.
0:30:24 > 0:30:29That was some effort!
0:30:29 > 0:30:31But St Helens remain on the attack.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33The threat sustained.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Roby.
0:30:35 > 0:30:43All the way to the right-hand side, they look now.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47Well, the tackle was effective.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49But back comes St Helens towards the middle.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Salford's defence still being tested.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53Walmsley.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56Anxious moments from those looking on, with St Helens in their hearts,
0:30:56 > 0:30:58because this is an opportunity here, surely, for Salford's defence,
0:30:58 > 0:31:04which has been magnificent throughout the night.
0:31:04 > 0:31:05Remains so.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Roby again.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10Out it comes, towards that left-hand flag.
0:31:10 > 0:31:16This time, Morgan is not to be denied.
0:31:16 > 0:31:22And St Helens do have that much-needed try.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25Flanagan.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29Lui with the ball back on the inside.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32It's kept alive here for Carney.
0:31:32 > 0:31:37And now Dobson.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41St Helens having to retreat quickly, and the referee's decided that
0:31:41 > 0:31:45James Roby over-involving in the tackle there.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Hanging on to get his defenders in place,
0:31:47 > 0:31:53but the penalty's given away.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56So Michael Dobson, with a chance to extend this good night
0:31:56 > 0:32:02for Salford with another two points.
0:32:04 > 0:32:11Carney.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15Pushed back down the middle again here.
0:32:15 > 0:32:24Played by Mossop.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26Salford on the sixth tackle, the chase is
0:32:26 > 0:32:27on from Robert Lui here.
0:32:27 > 0:32:28It's awkward, but it's out of play.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31Watched calmly out of play by Morgan.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33And Robert Lui is off into the sin-bin.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36Just a bit of professionalism there to slow down the restart.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39The ball's clearly out of play, and he had no need to get
0:32:39 > 0:32:41involved here, but he does.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43Lui's ten minutes out of the game.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45Tomkins.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Thinking about the drop goal there, I think.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50He's done that a time or two, hasn't he?
0:32:50 > 0:32:53But Carney puts a very measured kick over the top.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55Morgan.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Ooh, it's been spilled by Morgan.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59It's picked up by Carney.
0:32:59 > 0:33:03It's back inside for a match-winning try for Michael Dobson.
0:33:03 > 0:33:09Salford will celebrate, and they can celebrate in earnest,
0:33:09 > 0:33:15because they're going to claim another big scalp
0:33:15 > 0:33:16here tonight, surely.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18Time running out.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20St Helens going to this left-hand side again here.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24Can they find a way through, back on the inside?
0:33:24 > 0:33:26It's given to Taia.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28And Lomax in support.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30Well, time is running out.
0:33:30 > 0:33:37Time is running out.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41Needs to kick this to give his side any chance of a miracle finish.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Has he got it over?
0:33:43 > 0:33:44No, he's put it away.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46He's put it to the wrong side of the sticks.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50So Salford now, there's not time for St Helens to score twice.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53It's another memorable win in this season for the Salford Red Devils.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02Gareth, what has been the secret of the success so far this season?
0:34:02 > 0:34:03Well, it's nothing fancy.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06It's just a case of working hard for each other and, you know,
0:34:06 > 0:34:07just preparing well.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10You know, we've got a real tight bunch at Salford.
0:34:10 > 0:34:19And, you know, a real good backroom staff and coaching staff.
0:34:26 > 0:34:30I think the coaches have just signed a three-year deal, the lot of them.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32So getting a bit of stability there now and, you know,
0:34:32 > 0:34:33really enjoying our rugby.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36And how much did you bond through what you had
0:34:36 > 0:34:37to go through last year?
0:34:37 > 0:34:40Yes, it was definitely a tough year for us last year.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43Without the points deduction, I think we'd have crept in the eight.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46So to go through the Million Pound Game and the pressures of that week,
0:34:46 > 0:34:47it's definitely brought us closer together.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49And, you know, it's showing in our performances.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51Ian Watson's always talked about the team ethic
0:34:51 > 0:34:52and working for each other.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55Certainly defensively in this game, that seemed to be right at the fore.
0:34:56 > 0:34:56Is that the secret?
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Is that where you see the team is so together,
0:34:59 > 0:35:01when you see defensive efforts like this?
0:35:01 > 0:35:02He is massive on defensive.
0:35:02 > 0:35:10And I think what's been really good for us this year is our goal-line D.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12You know, I think we've leaked a few tries from our yardage,
0:35:12 > 0:35:14which we need to touch upon,
0:35:14 > 0:35:17but we've had a big emphasis on getting numbers in the tackle,
0:35:17 > 0:35:19like we did do there on Jon Wilkin.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21You know, surrounding Kyle, because he's a big off loader.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24You know, really slowing that ruck down gives our defensive line time
0:35:24 > 0:35:26to get set and assess what's going to come at us.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29And you do seem to be piling in to help each other.
0:35:29 > 0:35:33Yes, Jon Wilkin picked me out there, tried running over the top of me.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36You know, thankfully, I had the help of Lee Mossop to help me out.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39And what is Ian Watson like as a coach?
0:35:39 > 0:35:40He's very black and white, very old-fashioned.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42You know, he'll say, what are you doing, Gordon?
0:35:42 > 0:35:44Especially what you need to improve on.
0:35:44 > 0:35:50And did you know Flanagan had that pace?
0:35:50 > 0:35:53I didn't know!
0:35:53 > 0:35:59He's not shut up about that all week, to be honest.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02No, that's just what we're about, to be honest, as a group of players.
0:36:02 > 0:36:03Working hard.
0:36:03 > 0:36:12typified there with him chasing back.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14Typified there with the chasing pack.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16You've also got Todd Carney sitting on the bench,
0:36:16 > 0:36:19which is one hell of a player to have on the bench,
0:36:19 > 0:36:22how has he slotted into the team, and what does he bring
0:36:22 > 0:36:23to you when he does come on?
0:36:23 > 0:36:24He's slotted in really well.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27He said to me today he's really enjoying himself.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29He showed in his debut against Widnes, when he came off
0:36:29 > 0:36:32the bench, he kind of gives us that extra layer in attack.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34And when we've got me, Dobbo and Robbie on the...
0:36:34 > 0:36:36Which is what we saw, didn't we?
0:36:36 > 0:36:38In that decisive try, you were all working
0:36:38 > 0:36:39together to create that.
0:36:39 > 0:36:40Yeah.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42We've got a lot of attacking options.
0:36:42 > 0:36:43Did you consider the drop goal here?
0:36:43 > 0:36:45I was...
0:36:45 > 0:36:47I was screaming at Lama to take another carry,
0:36:47 > 0:36:48because we had another tackle.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51But the ball came to me and I had pressure coming at me from...
0:36:51 > 0:36:54I think Jonny Lomax shot out of the line, so I knew
0:36:54 > 0:36:57if I get the ball to Toddy, he might be able to come up
0:36:57 > 0:37:00with something, and he's put a real good kick in.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03And Kris Welham, like he did all game, has chased real hard,
0:37:03 > 0:37:05and forced an error, which has led to the try.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09I mean, to have that kind of game management as well within a team,
0:37:09 > 0:37:12with yourself and Michael Dobson, I mean, that must give you a huge
0:37:12 > 0:37:14amount of confidence when you get to these tight fixes.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16There's a lot of experience, you know, between...
0:37:16 > 0:37:17Especially them three players.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20So, yeah, as I say, they've been in tight games before and they know
0:37:20 > 0:37:22how to really grind out a win.
0:37:22 > 0:37:23So far, so good, huh?
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Well, finally, then to the Super League leaders, Castleford.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27They were at home to Huddersfield on Friday.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29And once again, the Tigers conceding first, John.
0:37:29 > 0:37:30Yeah, they conceded first.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32I'm sure Daryl Powell won't be happy with that.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35Because it's an online defensive issue there that they've just
0:37:35 > 0:37:36come through the other side, did Huddersfield.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39But shall we say, normal service was resumed after that.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41And we see some flowing ball movement and some great decisions,
0:37:42 > 0:37:43and formations in attack.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45Gareth's just spoken about Salford working for each other,
0:37:45 > 0:37:47Castleford do that in bucketloads.
0:37:47 > 0:37:54Both defensively and attacking wise.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56And they've got the great decision-makers and they've got
0:37:56 > 0:38:01the great people who can execute.
0:38:01 > 0:38:06So there's lovely defensive work there from Benny Roberts.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09And over Jake Webster goes, who's having, you know,
0:38:09 > 0:38:10he's having a second lease of life.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13And they not only can go around teams, they can go
0:38:13 > 0:38:15through teams as well, as demonstrated by Mike McMeeken.
0:38:15 > 0:38:16But they really have...
0:38:16 > 0:38:18They're easy on the eye, they're great to watch,
0:38:18 > 0:38:21and the brand of football that they play at the minute,
0:38:21 > 0:38:22it seems to be unstoppable.
0:38:22 > 0:38:23You stopped them, though.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26Salford the one team to beat them, what did you do?
0:38:26 > 0:38:28Well, as John's touched on, they're a great attacking team.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30And most of their attack comes through Gale.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33And our plan was to just, you know, not give them that time
0:38:33 > 0:38:34to execute their plays.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37And I think it was just our day that day.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39And I think it was a wet day that day.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42So I think that had a big part to play in who managed
0:38:42 > 0:38:43the conditions better.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45And I think we did on the day.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47For Huddersfield, many positives you can take?
0:38:47 > 0:38:49'A good old drubbing', it was called, by the coach.
0:38:49 > 0:38:50Yeah.
0:38:50 > 0:38:51Well, it was a drubbing.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53I mean, it's 50 points, isn't it?
0:38:53 > 0:38:57They've had a good hiding, in that aspect.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59But obviously, they've got Danny Brough missing as well,
0:38:59 > 0:39:00which they can look at.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02But Ryan Brierley there came up with the goods.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04But they just need to regroup.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06And they're not the first team to get this at the Jungle.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08I'm pretty certain they won't be the last!
0:39:08 > 0:39:11So I don't think you've to read too much into it.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14You've to put it to one side and then just get
0:39:14 > 0:39:18on with the next week's prep.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20And for Joel Monaghan, he just seems to be loving stepping
0:39:20 > 0:39:22into Greg Minikin's shoes, and picks up a hat-trick.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24Yeah, he's a top finisher, is Ping.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26I know that from playing with him at Warrington.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28His try scoring record's like, I don't know, it's
0:39:28 > 0:39:29very impressive anyway.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32But as you say, yeah, Luke Gale just finishing up there.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34And you know Rangi Chase, talk us through this one!
0:39:34 > 0:39:37Rangi, well, he's got all the tricks, hasn't he?
0:39:37 > 0:39:38The old show and go.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41But I think it was one, two, three, and just brings Joel back
0:39:41 > 0:39:43underneath and strolls in for a try.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45It is fantastic to watch that kind of thing, is it?
0:39:45 > 0:39:47It is great to watch it.
0:39:47 > 0:39:48Yeah, I mean, it's just skill.
0:39:48 > 0:39:53And it's entertainment, isn't it?
0:39:53 > 0:39:55And anybody going there will feel they've got
0:39:55 > 0:39:57full value for their money.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59But I'm certain that Daryl Powell will feel that
0:39:59 > 0:40:00Castleford can improve.
0:40:00 > 0:40:01And he's a hard task master, Daryl.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04He really sets his teams up very well, both in attack and defence.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07I'm certain there'll be some work going on in defence there.
0:40:07 > 0:40:13But they're a very, very good rugby league team.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16And, you know, we're a third of the way through the season,
0:40:16 > 0:40:18the table doesn't lie and they're lying at the top.
0:40:19 > 0:40:20John talked about the defence, they've got Wigan.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23Wigan will make life a little bit harder for them, won't they,
0:40:23 > 0:40:25than Huddersfield and Catalan over the last few days?
0:40:25 > 0:40:27Yeah, Wigan are a real good defensive team.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30But as you say, it will be a real interesting game to watch.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33Yeah, we've all been looking forward to that one for a few
0:40:33 > 0:40:35years, it has to be said!
0:40:35 > 0:40:36Yeah!
0:40:36 > 0:40:38So that's all you need to know about Round 7.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41Here's how they're standing in the Betfred Super League table.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43Castleford and Leeds are level, on 12 points at the top.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45But remember, the Rhinos have played a game more.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48Salford move into the top four, as Wigan drop to fifth.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51Warrington are now two points adrift of Widnes, at the bottom.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54So we're into April and here's one or two things you may have missed
0:40:54 > 0:40:56from the last few weeks.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58People have been falling over themselves to keep up
0:40:58 > 0:40:59with Castleford this season.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01Even referee and former Royal Marine Jack Smith took
0:41:01 > 0:41:06a tumble when the Tigers were at Widnes.
0:41:06 > 0:41:10Obstruction, surely, there, ref?!
0:41:10 > 0:41:12What was hiding under the table during Tony Smith's post-match press
0:41:12 > 0:41:14conference at Salford?
0:41:14 > 0:41:18Yeah...
0:41:18 > 0:41:19LOUD BANG.
0:41:19 > 0:41:20Ooh!
0:41:20 > 0:41:21Oh...
0:41:21 > 0:41:23Erm...
0:41:23 > 0:41:25Kev Penny's, er...
0:41:25 > 0:41:27Marvin's stashed some of his cash under here!
0:41:27 > 0:41:28LAUGHTER.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31Erm...
0:41:31 > 0:41:34Poor old JT the Tiger gets left hanging when he goes
0:41:34 > 0:41:41for the handshake at the Jungle.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44And Remi Casty was the perfect advert for the holidays
0:41:44 > 0:41:47in the South of France, when the Dragons took on Widnes.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50So that is it for now.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53My thanks to Gareth and to John for joining us.
0:41:53 > 0:41:58We'll see you next week, but until then, goodbye.
0:42:08 > 0:42:09He's back! Yes, he is.
