0:00:39 > 0:00:43Need 2018 season continues, it is around five and hear what is we know
0:00:43 > 0:00:46about the 12 teams so far.
0:00:49 > 0:01:00What a start for St Helens. My word has he got it. Yell
0:01:03 > 0:01:08another try.
0:01:09 > 0:01:26Great try for Hull.20 unanswered points.Salford level!Look at the
0:01:26 > 0:01:30pace here.
0:01:35 > 0:01:41Our inside view on six more matches comes from the Hull FC rugby manager
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Gareth Ellis and Luke Robinson. The leaders when it all kicked off her
0:01:45 > 0:01:48St Helens and they took their perfect record to Warrington.
0:01:53 > 0:02:00Add dummy half, St Helens looking likely here at the moment. Megginson
0:02:00 > 0:02:02cutting back, looking for any signs of weakness in this Warrington
0:02:02 > 0:02:10defence. Attack into eventually managed to stop them. With the help
0:02:10 > 0:02:16of a couple of others. Step back on that left-hand side and a charge for
0:02:16 > 0:02:25the line. St Helens first try. Don't they were pleased. St Helens up and
0:02:25 > 0:02:35running. Warrington switching it back. Back on the inside. Really
0:02:35 > 0:02:46testing them out. Philbin held up. Clark is here. Spelling it back
0:02:46 > 0:02:50again, Roberts with the kick, high and hanging, questions being asked
0:02:50 > 0:02:57and it's going to be a touchdown by Tony King. Not backwards, no need
0:02:57 > 0:03:05for the video referee. Warrington respond. Roby barking at
0:03:05 > 0:03:14instructions here. Walmsley. Settling St Helens forward again.
0:03:14 > 0:03:20They get a penalty, too much going on after the tackle was completely,
0:03:20 > 0:03:28Philbin hanging on for too long. Chance to give his side the lead
0:03:28 > 0:03:34here by two points. Eminently capable. 30 metres out. Between the
0:03:34 > 0:03:38sticks, big kick from Richardson.
0:03:42 > 0:03:49It's been allowed to bounce here. St Helens might get it back, they do,
0:03:49 > 0:03:53it's dropped on by Percival. Mistake right at the start of the second
0:03:53 > 0:03:57half from Warrington. St Helens giving themselves a wonderful
0:03:57 > 0:04:06opportunity. Roby. Numbers moving on that right-hand side. Duck for the
0:04:06 > 0:04:12line by Lomax. You can see how close he is, Roby against spinning it
0:04:12 > 0:04:21back. Back on the inside for McCarthy-Scarsbrook to drive in.
0:04:21 > 0:04:27Warrington desperately defending on their online, Roby is up and scores.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29He has embarrassed the Warrington defence with the run from dummy
0:04:29 > 0:04:36half. What started to the second for St Helens.
0:04:42 > 0:04:47Good yards gained, only five away from the St Helens line. Clark
0:04:47 > 0:04:55Waits. St Helens coming off the line, the kick towards the left hand
0:04:55 > 0:05:02side, up for the arms, wonderful pass and scores in the corner. King
0:05:02 > 0:05:08doing wonderfully well. The referee not entirely sure at this stage.
0:05:08 > 0:05:18He's going to go to the screen. He thinks it's a try. It's great work
0:05:18 > 0:05:25on the floor, I don't think the tackle was complete and Harvey
0:05:25 > 0:05:30Livett has stayed in the field of play. It is a Warrington try. Just
0:05:30 > 0:05:43what they needed. Harvey Livett the scorer. Swift. Theo Fages from a
0:05:43 > 0:05:47straightened up down the middle by Luke Thompson, good carry again by
0:05:47 > 0:05:54him. Getting St Helens closer and closer. Roby looks to his left. What
0:05:54 > 0:05:58a wonderfully weighted pass that is from Barbour and Mark Percival over
0:05:58 > 0:06:05to finish. Delicious delivery from Barbour which gave Percival his
0:06:05 > 0:06:13chance. Watch this. Timed to absolute perfection, drawing in
0:06:13 > 0:06:25defenders and Percival is over. Roby. In again by Kyle a more.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29Wanted to get up and play the ball quickly. Might have been asking for
0:06:29 > 0:06:34a penalty but he's not got it, Richardson is having a run, he's
0:06:34 > 0:06:39flying away and he's got support on the left-hand side. The kick, it's
0:06:39 > 0:06:44going to be Percival for the hat-trick. Mark Percival's
0:06:44 > 0:06:52hat-trick, his second of the season. Jumps for joy, St Helens in control.
0:06:52 > 0:06:59Richardson the runner, you could see the referee with his arm in the air,
0:06:59 > 0:07:03porches hold down the middle and then the wherewithal and the boys to
0:07:03 > 0:07:10deliver the kick per Percival to finish. Here is Roby. St Helens
0:07:10 > 0:07:16finishing this game strongly, Lomax back to Barbour asking a few
0:07:16 > 0:07:20questions, gets the off-load the Percival, Brit steal of the kick N
0:07:20 > 0:07:26and Richardson will finish. St Helens finishing on a high. They are
0:07:26 > 0:07:30going to win this at a canter despite the early resistance from
0:07:30 > 0:07:34Warrington. St Helens remain unbeaten at the top of the tree.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43Was there a poisoned patience about that victory?I think so, going
0:07:43 > 0:07:53back, Saints renowned for going in for a try and then exploding with a
0:07:53 > 0:07:56few more and the freely at the game is gone, but Warrington came back
0:07:56 > 0:08:01into that game but St Helens believed in what they were doing and
0:08:01 > 0:08:08they eventually pulled away.Kyle and Moore was on the programme a few
0:08:08 > 0:08:13weeks ago and described Richardson as cocky, does he show you all the
0:08:13 > 0:08:20attributes of going all the way?Of course, I like to see youngsters
0:08:20 > 0:08:23coming in, at the end of the day he is the architect, he is the piano
0:08:23 > 0:08:29player. With the skill said he has got I don't see why he wouldn't be
0:08:29 > 0:08:33confident. He can kick the ball, he can pass, he has got great vision
0:08:33 > 0:08:38and seems an all-round player for me. Another great half-back who has
0:08:38 > 0:08:45been introduced.Real poise about his play.There are a lot of young
0:08:45 > 0:08:48kids in this team and I think St Helens are seeing the fruits of our
0:08:48 > 0:08:53really good academy setup, they have had a dominant team for the last few
0:08:53 > 0:09:01years. They are starting to come through the St Helens Academy system
0:09:01 > 0:09:03together and now they've got to the first team together so they are
0:09:03 > 0:09:09looking good.Saints going very nicely, it goes without saying, what
0:09:09 > 0:09:15do you make of Warrington, they've had good bits and not so good bets,
0:09:15 > 0:09:20being in games then falling away. We need to work on our tackle control
0:09:20 > 0:09:24they say?I think that means slowed the opposition down in which every
0:09:24 > 0:09:32team tries to do. They've been a bit up and down, that is worse since
0:09:32 > 0:09:35been good, the consistency throughout the 80 minutes and
0:09:35 > 0:09:39throughout the games they played and that is what Warrington will be
0:09:39 > 0:09:43striving for. They have got the players that can do that, proven
0:09:43 > 0:09:47players at international level but that is what Steve Price will be
0:09:47 > 0:09:53wanting, more consistency.No end to St Helens perfect start to the
0:09:53 > 0:09:56season but what about Wakefield? They were looking to make it five
0:09:56 > 0:10:01out of five at Wigan. History was made as Tara Jones became the first
0:10:01 > 0:10:05female official in Super League, she was the end goal judge.
0:10:07 > 0:10:21COMMENTATOR: Right-to-left here. Running into traffic. Wigan plugging
0:10:21 > 0:10:31away, still in range. Miller, he can be a threat. The shape is good. Ben
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Jones-Bishop will not be stopped from there. Stunning finish.
0:10:35 > 0:10:44Wakefield in front. Slow play the ball, he cleared the ruck and then
0:10:44 > 0:10:49Tyler Randle plays for the penalty and it's been given. That will not
0:10:49 > 0:10:56go down well. He pleads with the referee. But the penalty is awarded.
0:10:56 > 0:11:05And Liam Finn will just tip over the two. Come away to the left side,
0:11:05 > 0:11:17good hands, into the corner. The Wigan right back in it now. Powell.
0:11:17 > 0:11:24Away to the left side, fired all this time well wrapped up. Sam
0:11:24 > 0:11:37Tomkins. Back to the middle. Against his old club Wigan go in front.
0:11:37 > 0:11:44Pendulum swinging back Wakefield 's way. Better the swinging arm, lovely
0:11:44 > 0:11:47off-load.
0:11:49 > 0:11:55Randall. The option on the right-hand side is good and Ben
0:11:55 > 0:12:04Jones-Bishop gets his second. Really sharp hands. Sharp as a tack.
0:12:04 > 0:12:10Powell. Williams. They kept quiet so far, great hands, Tomkins to
0:12:10 > 0:12:17Burgess, try number two for him. Wigan have a 4-point lead. All
0:12:17 > 0:12:23climb. Through the hands. Tomkins again, fine work to put Tom Davis in
0:12:23 > 0:12:31the corner. The lead edges further ahead again. Warlock Linda Williams,
0:12:31 > 0:12:37Wakefield struggling to contain Wigan. Opens up the traps, Joe
0:12:37 > 0:12:46Burgess with the hat-trick. He made sure of that one. Wakefield
0:12:46 > 0:12:51desperate to claw their way back into this game. Going on a raid.
0:12:51 > 0:13:03Great off-load, and crashes over. They are not done yet. Thomas
0:13:03 > 0:13:09Leuluai. Into the hands of all Flynn. Slow play the ball and I
0:13:09 > 0:13:16think the penalty is coming. The message is take the two. Sam Tomkins
0:13:16 > 0:13:22to finish it off perhaps. 13-18, Wigan and Wakefield's unbeaten run.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23to finish it off perhaps. 13-18, Wigan and Wakefield's unbeaten run.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Testament to how well Wakefield have started the season that they are
0:13:28 > 0:13:32disappointed to go to Wigan and not get a result.And they will be, the
0:13:32 > 0:13:35standards they have set over the last few years have risen
0:13:35 > 0:13:41dramatically. As much as they would have looked at that game and felt we
0:13:41 > 0:13:44could go there and win I don't think they should be too disappointed.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48Great start to the year and I'm sure they will be looking to get back to
0:13:48 > 0:13:53winning ways.Will it be key to those top four aspirations they
0:13:53 > 0:13:58clearly have two bounce back next week?Yeah, and that's the thing.
0:13:58 > 0:14:03You don't want to be a reactive team. Going to Wigan away is a tough
0:14:03 > 0:14:07proposition for any team never mind Wakefield so they will be looking
0:14:07 > 0:14:11forward to next week and hopefully getting back to getting a W next to
0:14:11 > 0:14:19their name.Some top pins -- Sam Tomkins pretty much instrumental to
0:14:19 > 0:14:25everything, what you make of the system?He's going back to the old
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Sam Tomkins were seized challenging defenders. An under Orthodox sort of
0:14:28 > 0:14:32of play. They're just tinkering at the moment are whether they will
0:14:32 > 0:14:41stick with it, the wanted to get all these players into the game.Wants a
0:14:41 > 0:14:48more attacking style and it seems to be working.Yes, once it's a defence
0:14:48 > 0:14:51of structure and once it's there attacking flair and I'm not sure
0:14:51 > 0:14:54which one he's going to stick with. It seems to be trial and error at
0:14:54 > 0:15:01the moment but it is giving him options.One to watch out for as the
0:15:01 > 0:15:03season goes on. Leeds Rhinos first game since the Super League
0:15:03 > 0:15:08semifinals last year, their opponents as they were in the
0:15:08 > 0:15:14play-offs were Hull FC. They met in the semifinals of both competitions
0:15:14 > 0:15:19last season, in the Challenge Cup the black-and-white prevailed with a
0:15:19 > 0:15:22comfortable win en route to retaining the trophy. In the Super
0:15:22 > 0:15:27League semifinals it was a different story, the Rhinos progressed to Old
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Trafford and gland final glory.
0:15:33 > 0:15:45COMMENTATOR: Hull there to keep this go forward down to a minimum. Little
0:15:45 > 0:15:56slip. Better than easier tackle target than he might have been. Up
0:15:56 > 0:16:01goes the kick, here comes the challenge. Watkins has caught it and
0:16:01 > 0:16:08Watkins scores. Wasn't much of a challenge in the air because Watkins
0:16:08 > 0:16:18dominated. Opening try of the night. Five minutes played. Stoked drive
0:16:18 > 0:16:26forward here by Singleton. Waiting a dummy half. Across the line that
0:16:26 > 0:16:32they created with the numbers, he will love that moment against his
0:16:32 > 0:16:42former side. Hesitation in the celebration. We have to look again.
0:16:42 > 0:16:47Try given on the field. They are looking for obstruction but I think
0:16:47 > 0:16:51it's a plane misread. Left such a gap out there and nothing that Jamie
0:16:51 > 0:16:59Shaul could do to stop him from scoring and the try is confirmed.
0:16:59 > 0:17:07Two scores mac and over Leeds in the opening 15. They have got a bit of
0:17:07 > 0:17:16width here. But they are going to be held up for the moment. Sixth tackle
0:17:16 > 0:17:21is the next so it's going to be the kick which Sneed sends ADL, Griffin
0:17:21 > 0:17:29underneath it. Little chip and its going to be Logan who finishes. Is
0:17:29 > 0:17:36this going to be given? Again we go to the video referee. No try. They
0:17:36 > 0:17:45are looking for offside, for this kick here. It's a question as to
0:17:45 > 0:17:49whether Logan was offside. This might give us a more clear view.
0:17:49 > 0:18:00There is the kick. It is tight. And its no try. Not given.
0:18:04 > 0:18:09Shifted towards the left-hand side with a bit of venom and verve from
0:18:09 > 0:18:19Hull. Ten away. Leeds coming off the line quickly, grubber kick in
0:18:19 > 0:18:27behind, it is going to be Hadley who gets there first. The referee again
0:18:27 > 0:18:31going for video confirmation one way or the other. Picked up cleanly, no
0:18:31 > 0:18:37doubt about that, touched down in cleanly. I think the try will be
0:18:37 > 0:18:48given year. Hull cover first try. Right under the sticks. Out it
0:18:48 > 0:18:52comes. Leeds under pressure. Hull playing all the influence they can
0:18:52 > 0:19:02here to try to get themselves over again before the break. Spelling it
0:19:02 > 0:19:12back. Little double pump, Griffin is over. Josh Griffin powering in. It's
0:19:12 > 0:19:19an instant replay required again. They are looking at the obstruction
0:19:19 > 0:19:28on Ablett. Certainly contact but whether he had any involvement, they
0:19:28 > 0:19:40are not going to give this. Griffin denied. Singleton passing away,
0:19:40 > 0:19:46Ablett in support. Here comes Parcell. Leeds beating numbers on
0:19:46 > 0:19:51the left-hand side. It's a good trick of hand. Answered over the
0:19:51 > 0:19:59top. Little chip all, is this going to be a try for Jamie Jones
0:19:59 > 0:20:08Buchanan? Has he got it down? I think he has. Here we go again.
0:20:08 > 0:20:17Another decision required for the man upstairs. Offside here. Clearly
0:20:17 > 0:20:28ahead of the ball and it's given as no try. Out and active. The step
0:20:28 > 0:20:36almost slicing through. Look how close the liners. Trying to batter
0:20:36 > 0:20:46other way over. Here comes the last. Back to Meyler whose chip is
0:20:46 > 0:20:53flighted superbly well. Connor has caught it, just as well. Hang on.
0:20:53 > 0:20:59The referee is having another look here. Cholera was getting ready to
0:20:59 > 0:21:02race and take the tap but the referee has got the touch judge in
0:21:02 > 0:21:09his year. What are you looking at. Was that a push? Was that a push?
0:21:09 > 0:21:14They have given the penalty and Leeds are taking the tap. Finding
0:21:14 > 0:21:23themselves through Delaney in an excellent position here. Slammed in
0:21:23 > 0:21:31again by Singleton. Here is Parcell again. Meyler with the short pass
0:21:31 > 0:21:41and back on the inside comes Kallum Watkins. Wonderful angle, wonderful
0:21:41 > 0:21:52try to celebrate. Second of the night for Kallum Watkins. Little
0:21:52 > 0:21:58shocked the soft shoe shuffle from Golding. Carried up towards that
0:21:58 > 0:22:05line again. Watkins with a little pass back again and Briscoe picks a
0:22:05 > 0:22:10path to score. Denied in the first half but now against his former club
0:22:10 > 0:22:22he does get a try, Tom Briscoe. He will be delighted at that I am sure.
0:22:22 > 0:22:28Sneed puts it back, little juggle by Jamie Shaul but he's kept it alive.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Looking back towards the middle, one or two gaps here if Hull can move it
0:22:31 > 0:22:40wide. Stepping inside again but Griffin is dragged down. It's a
0:22:40 > 0:22:45short one, close to the line, Leeds defence didn't quite work ready for
0:22:45 > 0:22:50it and I think Jordan Abdull feels he's scored and he is backed up and
0:22:50 > 0:22:55his confidence by the referee pointing the finger. It's been a
0:22:55 > 0:23:03great response to the dying embers of the game here. Taylor put down.
0:23:03 > 0:23:15Shifting and wide. There is the kick. Briscoe cannot get there. It
0:23:15 > 0:23:23was Briscoe who got the last touch the referee decides. Here comes
0:23:23 > 0:23:30Meyler. The clock on the side of Leeds at the moment, would not have
0:23:30 > 0:23:33thought there was time for Hull to get a couple of tries in what
0:23:33 > 0:23:47remains of the game. Great to carry. Offered in but taken wide. Taken
0:23:47 > 0:23:54wide and the finish. Probably too little, too late with time running
0:23:54 > 0:23:57out and it might not even be a try because we got to look at this
0:23:57 > 0:24:05again. Let's have another look, looks to be getting this down. He
0:24:05 > 0:24:12has got this down. This will be a try. So it narrows the gap. But you
0:24:12 > 0:24:21would suggest Leeds have done enough to hang on here now. You can hear
0:24:21 > 0:24:26the countdown from the fans, this should be the last tackle of the
0:24:26 > 0:24:32game and it is. They did well to clear the snow here at Headingley.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36They have done well to get a good crowd in here tonight and Leeds have
0:24:36 > 0:24:43done well to get a win against Hull FC. I'm not sure which of
0:24:43 > 0:24:48take this. A few years ago we got our knickers in a twist about
0:24:48 > 0:24:51obstruction, by letter of the law it was obstruction with Kyle Ablett,
0:24:51 > 0:24:57but they didn't seem to make any sense to anybody?I understand if a
0:24:57 > 0:25:01player is getting taken off the ball and is obstructing him getting to
0:25:01 > 0:25:04the ball are getting involved in the play. When it's
0:25:04 > 0:25:05the ball are getting involved in the play. When it's so far away from the
0:25:05 > 0:25:11actual play itself I think a little bit of common sense has to prevail.
0:25:11 > 0:25:1515, 20, 30 metres from the play.
0:25:15 > 0:25:16bit of common sense has to prevail. 15, 20, 30 metres from the play.
0:25:16 > 0:25:21It's a dead set try. Everyone knows that a try.The worrying thing for
0:25:21 > 0:25:25me is we have this conversation every year where we picked up,
0:25:25 > 0:25:30correct me if I'm wrong but every team does the same place, they all
0:25:30 > 0:25:35have a dummy runner going through and it desired affect the pull
0:25:35 > 0:25:39defenders in. When it happened so far away from the line it's a bit of
0:25:39 > 0:25:43common sense. There are not going to get involved in the tackle.Make it
0:25:43 > 0:25:49easy for all of us. Richie Myler settling in well
0:25:49 > 0:25:50easy for all of us. Richie Myler settling in well at Leeds, IDS is
0:25:50 > 0:25:55kicking game?He reminds me very much of Danny McGuire in his career
0:25:55 > 0:26:05and how he developed. Started well, there were a few questions about
0:26:05 > 0:26:08whether he could take up the mantle of the great Danny McGuire and he
0:26:08 > 0:26:12seems to have stepped up and grabbed it with both hands. He seems to be,
0:26:12 > 0:26:18his kicking game is great, he is patient, orchestrating a lot of the
0:26:18 > 0:26:22attack, the good stuff happening around Leeds and I think he's been a
0:26:22 > 0:26:27revelation.Talking about the St Helens use policy bearing
0:26:27 > 0:26:28revelation.Talking about the St Helens use policy bearing fruit but
0:26:28 > 0:26:31it is really bearing fruit for you guys particularly with the injuries
0:26:31 > 0:26:36you have got.It was a really positive thing coming out of the
0:26:36 > 0:26:39game, the amount of young lads we are almost forced to play because of
0:26:39 > 0:26:43injuries but it gives them a chance to play and some of our players,
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Jack Logan has not played for two years and he was out there looking
0:26:46 > 0:26:53good. Jordan Abdull, good to see him back after a loan spell last year
0:26:53 > 0:26:57and pulling the strings when we were at our best in the second half. Some
0:26:57 > 0:27:04real positives to come out of the game.Next up Leeds is a trip to old
0:27:04 > 0:27:06rivals St Helens on Friday.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28Wayne Bennett named his lead England performance squad last week, two
0:27:28 > 0:27:35Engle list based -- Windows-based hookers. James Roby as good if not
0:27:35 > 0:27:40better than ever?I think he is one of the greatest players to have
0:27:40 > 0:27:43played Super League. The form at the moment is as good as it has ever
0:27:43 > 0:27:48been. To give you an insight into what he is looking at, James Roby,
0:27:48 > 0:27:53as any good hooker they are looking at are the markers set? If not he
0:27:53 > 0:27:55will pick the ball up and
0:27:55 > 0:27:59will pick the ball up and explore that space. That bit of a gap. The
0:27:59 > 0:28:05only way to defend it is plug the gap, but he comes off the inside
0:28:05 > 0:28:11foot, picks up Jon Wilkin with a great pass, great vision and great
0:28:11 > 0:28:15awareness to find the centre. Here again, he's just looking, first port
0:28:15 > 0:28:19of call is our other markers and are they say it because if not he's
0:28:19 > 0:28:24darting into this. St Helens have been exposing teams but it is as
0:28:24 > 0:28:28much down to James Roby as anyone else. He plays with tempo, fast to
0:28:28 > 0:28:34slow, slow to fast. Then on the flip side of it, in the defensive work
0:28:34 > 0:28:38keys man in the middle. They tried to expose him but he's a great
0:28:38 > 0:28:46defender, gets a square on and makes great contact. He's realised, trying
0:28:46 > 0:28:52to get 13 man defensive line, James Roby has realised, better
0:28:52 > 0:28:56perception, not only dummy with the ball but the feet. Exposed the
0:28:56 > 0:28:58full-back.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02ball but the feet. Exposed the full-back.He has got the most runs
0:29:02 > 0:29:07out of dummy half, Daryl Clark has played a game more and he is second.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10Do you think with Daryl Clark Warrington are trying to work more
0:29:10 > 0:29:16on using the strength?He's one of the best attacking weapons, his days
0:29:16 > 0:29:23at Castleford, a site not playing particularly well, he's looking for
0:29:23 > 0:29:27the same things James Roby is. He's got a wicked left
0:29:27 > 0:29:28the same things James Roby is. He's got a wicked left footstep. He
0:29:28 > 0:29:32prefers to go to his left. You can see going down the right side as
0:29:32 > 0:29:37well. He's a great thread with the ball, trying to get out, trying to
0:29:37 > 0:29:43engage the defenders and Warrington have been renowned for years playing
0:29:43 > 0:29:46off off-load, it's something they can utilise. Daryl Clark being as
0:29:46 > 0:29:52you can be so electric. Trying to expose that space around the back of
0:29:52 > 0:29:55the ruck. Back to his best to do you think?
0:29:56 > 0:29:58the ruck. Back to his best to do you think? I don't think so at this
0:29:58 > 0:30:01time, he still a very good player and deserves to be in the England
0:30:01 > 0:30:07setup.Josh Frodsham injured at the moment and he's not bad either.
0:30:07 > 0:30:14Let's see if the Huddersfield Giants can get back to winning ways against
0:30:14 > 0:30:16Widnes Vikings.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22COMMENTATOR: We know what is coming here, it's going to be high and
0:30:22 > 0:30:28testing. He's fumbled it and there is Hinchcliffe to touch it down. The
0:30:28 > 0:30:35Huddersfield Giants go in front. Danny Brough pivotal to everything
0:30:35 > 0:30:44another testing kick. Touched down, this time. Penalty to Huddersfield
0:30:44 > 0:30:48Giants, half an hour gone. Danny Brough extends the lead.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56Good ball into Oliver Roberts hands, is he going to spin and put that
0:30:56 > 0:31:02down? That is soft from Widnes. Looking to break out here for the
0:31:02 > 0:31:10Huddersfield Giants. Fourth man, that was a horror tackle and the
0:31:10 > 0:31:23punishment is suitable. Red card. Danny Brough has been a mess --
0:31:23 > 0:31:33menace. Jermaine McGilvary gets his try. Widnes have not laid a finger
0:31:33 > 0:31:36on the Giants here but that is a better position and there is Joe
0:31:36 > 0:31:45Mellor. And body. The Joe Mellor. Sweeping kick. McGilvary underneath
0:31:45 > 0:31:52it, the ball bounces loose. Have they got the options on the left
0:31:52 > 0:32:01hand side? Super finish. Danny Brough once again edging the Giants
0:32:01 > 0:32:15brother in front. Perhaps a bit awkward there. Stayed down, Ryan
0:32:15 > 0:32:20Hinchcliffe the man who peeled away from it. I think for that tackle
0:32:20 > 0:32:28Ryan Hinchcliffe will get ten minutes in the them. Widnes come
0:32:28 > 0:32:34forward. Gilmour. Lovely wraparound play to handle array, looping pass
0:32:34 > 0:32:42to the corner. Got it all to do and the finish is wonderful. Yet another
0:32:42 > 0:32:46penalty for Danny Brough who's been the architect for the Huddersfield
0:32:46 > 0:32:47Giants tonight.
0:32:47 > 0:32:48the architect for the Huddersfield Giants tonight. Widnes indiscipline
0:32:48 > 0:32:53costing them again. Danny Brough has signed another one-year deal,
0:32:53 > 0:33:00absolutely crucial to you isn't he? His kicking game was exceptional.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03Against the Widnes team which started the season exceptionally
0:33:03 > 0:33:08well. Throwing the ball out, exciting play. Just did not click, I
0:33:08 > 0:33:14think it was down to our defence. The defence, we were good around the
0:33:14 > 0:33:18ruck, got off the line and got them face and created a lot of, forced a
0:33:18 > 0:33:26of errors.You have blown hot and cold in some matches, were you a bit
0:33:26 > 0:33:29more consistent through the 80 minutes?That has been the talk of
0:33:29 > 0:33:35the season for us so far, attacking right for 20 minutes then struggling
0:33:35 > 0:33:38defensively, then struggled defensively and vice versa. Back and
0:33:38 > 0:33:43forth. But we had an 80 minutes where it wasn't great but we were
0:33:43 > 0:33:49consistent.A nasty injury to come back from, is he looking more like
0:33:49 > 0:33:55his old self?He's very instinctive with how he plays, he plays best
0:33:55 > 0:34:03with a smile on his face. One side of the field to the other side,
0:34:03 > 0:34:07chasing kicks, diving fireballs he should not be anywhere near the
0:34:07 > 0:34:11vicinity. When he has a smile on his face he is happy, plays great for us
0:34:11 > 0:34:16and plays real good the other night. Denis Betts saying it's as bad
0:34:16 > 0:34:20performance as they had all season, do you put that to one side do you
0:34:20 > 0:34:24pick through the bones of it as a coach?You're picking through the
0:34:24 > 0:34:29bones are looking for reasons why. Getting off to a good start in the
0:34:29 > 0:34:35game is crucial to how the game pans out as it goes on. They will be
0:34:35 > 0:34:41looking at that as an area of improvement for next week.They
0:34:41 > 0:34:43started the season exceptionally well but they have got a young lad
0:34:43 > 0:34:46in that squad, they have all played very well but it's difficult for
0:34:46 > 0:34:51young lads to back it up every week and I don't know that was maybe one
0:34:51 > 0:34:56game too far so far?Now to the Jungle were today John Wells has
0:34:56 > 0:35:01been appointed director of rugby, Steve Gilles stepping down as chief
0:35:01 > 0:35:04executive in May. The Tigers had their third consecutive home game on
0:35:04 > 0:35:07Sunday when Salford were in town.
0:35:10 > 0:35:15Castleford looking for the third win in a row and got off to the ideal
0:35:15 > 0:35:18start, Michael Shenton barging his way over for the game 's opening try
0:35:18 > 0:35:25with five minutes played. The home side soon doubled the lead while
0:35:25 > 0:35:31Salford remain camped on their online. Paul McShane's meet grubber
0:35:31 > 0:35:37kick and James Clay was there for a last-gasp pounds. Little respect for
0:35:37 > 0:35:40Salford but with 15 minutes played a careless spear tackle from Oliver
0:35:40 > 0:35:44Holmes gave the referee little option but to send him to the
0:35:44 > 0:35:49sin-bin and the Red Devils had a man advantage. They were not able to
0:35:49 > 0:35:53make it count, a Luke Gale penalty nudging the Tigers further ahead and
0:35:53 > 0:35:57more to come. On the half-hour mark the book came into play again, the
0:35:57 > 0:36:04grubber took a wicked ricochet and a couple bumbles later touched down.
0:36:04 > 0:36:08After a quiet opening half Salford came out with intent in the second,
0:36:08 > 0:36:11binding the gap in the Tigers defence and the visitors finally on
0:36:11 > 0:36:16the scoreboard. Salford struggling to find momentum, Caddell 's words
0:36:16 > 0:36:20continued to press with some tensions and frustrations bubbling
0:36:20 > 0:36:26the referee was forced to intervene again. The grapple on the ground
0:36:26 > 0:36:29between Logan Tomkins and Grant Millington turned into a wrestling
0:36:29 > 0:36:36demonstration with players piling into try to break up the action.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39Both Tompkins and Millington were sent to the sidelines for ten
0:36:39 > 0:36:50minutes. The penalty extended the lead further and the game looked
0:36:50 > 0:36:54dead and buried. The Jake Bibby try in the 79th minute was scant
0:36:54 > 0:37:01consolation for Salford who fans will be the third went from four
0:37:01 > 0:37:04keeps them in touch.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12Do you think they are feeling their way into the season now, Castleford?
0:37:12 > 0:37:16I think so, there was always going to be a lot of expectation matter
0:37:16 > 0:37:20how they played last season. Any team that has had that sort of
0:37:20 > 0:37:23season it's always a challenge getting the players are ready and
0:37:23 > 0:37:28right for the coming year. I am sure Darryll will not be too disappointed
0:37:28 > 0:37:37with the loss at St Helens after seeing how well they have gone I
0:37:37 > 0:37:48think...They have a hangover from the diamond formation, it's probably
0:37:48 > 0:37:54taken a bit of adjustment to the way they've played on to the broad in.
0:37:54 > 0:38:04Jamie Ellis is exceptional and so is Truman but it will take a while to
0:38:04 > 0:38:08rumours that others might be going, instability behind the scenes is
0:38:08 > 0:38:19going to affect those players isn't it. A bed of unrest at the top, we
0:38:19 > 0:38:24were talking fair, they've not been playing bad rubbish.Salford have
0:38:24 > 0:38:32not been that far off, the structure and the style of the way the play,
0:38:32 > 0:38:36entertaining, lapses in concentration now and again.If you
0:38:36 > 0:38:39enjoyed what happen when Hull KR played cattle and three weeks ago
0:38:39 > 0:38:41when you are in luck because they played again on Saturday.
0:38:44 > 0:38:49There was an era of tension in this game of cattle and still looking for
0:38:49 > 0:38:54the first win and Hull KR only their second. Defence is on top so early
0:38:54 > 0:39:01points were just an exchange of penalties. More point still to come
0:39:01 > 0:39:06before them, Chris Atkins kick taken in the air by George Lawler who
0:39:06 > 0:39:10scored the resulting conversion major it was all square at
0:39:10 > 0:39:12half-time. Like the start of the first half it was a story of
0:39:12 > 0:39:15penalties being the only points at the start of the second with
0:39:15 > 0:39:19discipline having a growing impact. First Ryan Shaw putting Rovers ahead
0:39:19 > 0:39:25by two points. Then just three minutes later Lucas Albert showed he
0:39:25 > 0:39:33brought his kicking boots as well to bring the scores level again. With
0:39:33 > 0:39:36the game continued to be tight it was a further penalty which
0:39:36 > 0:39:40separated the sides just before the hour mark, Alberta once again making
0:39:40 > 0:39:43the chance countered that the home side in front but still buy the
0:39:43 > 0:39:51narrow margins. Eventually the first try of the second half came and it
0:39:51 > 0:39:53was the Dragons with the crucial breakthrough, perfectly weighted
0:39:53 > 0:39:59high kick to the corner taken and daylight opened up. But Rovers were
0:39:59 > 0:40:03not done yet. An awkward bounce from Danny McGuire was mopped up by
0:40:03 > 0:40:11Justin Carney. With a quarter of an hour to go it was levelled again. In
0:40:11 > 0:40:17the end the game was settled after controversy. Michael McIlorum's pass
0:40:17 > 0:40:25string to Maurice Blair who was on his knees beside him. And angry
0:40:25 > 0:40:29Rovers coach Tim Sheens felt it was a deliberate act targeting a player
0:40:29 > 0:40:34to earn a penalty. The referee disagreed and Alberta made no
0:40:34 > 0:40:36mistake with the conversion to give cattle and their first win of the
0:40:36 > 0:40:40season to the relief of the home fans and no doubt the player and
0:40:40 > 0:40:41coach Steve McNamara.
0:40:41 > 0:40:45fans and no doubt the player and coach Steve McNamara. Wasn't a
0:40:45 > 0:40:50classic game, was that clever or against the spirit of the game?It's
0:40:50 > 0:40:56just negative, I don't think it should be in the rules. The rules
0:40:56 > 0:41:04Digg page to get away but I think a chilling negative.Might it creep
0:41:04 > 0:41:10back in? We saw one in the other game.I thought we had addressed it
0:41:10 > 0:41:15last year when we said it would not be accepted. I am sure he was not a
0:41:15 > 0:41:20happy man after the weekend.And quickly how big a relief to get the
0:41:20 > 0:41:24win for Catalan?Especially at home, they have made it a fortress for a
0:41:24 > 0:41:28number of years so to get the win and build momentum they will
0:41:28 > 0:41:32definitely be happy.Relief all round. You could sense it at the
0:41:32 > 0:41:38end. Everyone is a winner in 2018 and how his things stand in the
0:41:38 > 0:41:39table.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57That's it for now, my thanks to Gareth and look for joining us, join
0:41:57 > 0:42:03us next week if you can but until then for all of us, goodbye.
