leeds 6-42 warringtontony smith enjoyed a significant coaching victory over brian mcdermott , who had been his assistant during his years as leeds coach when the rhinos were the dominant force in the super league from 2005-08 , as his warrington team offered further evidence that they are the more likely to reach the grand final this season.the margin of defeat was a little harsh on a leeds team missing crucial players , especially in the backs , but there was no doubting the superiority of the wolves , who are now two points clear at the top of the table and five ahead of the rhinos who are in danger of being cut adrift of the top four.warrington started with the confidence and adventure to be expected of a team that had scored 34-12 points in their last four fixtures , keeping the ball alive and playing at a frantic pace t but they still needed a couple of contentious decisions to go in their favour to take a 12-0 lead after 18 minutes.on each occasion the referee , james child , and his touch judges appeared to give the wolves the benefit of considerable doubt that the final pass had been forward , with joel monaghan's inside ball to lee briers clearly drifting a couple of yards across the 10-metre line for the first try before the australian wing collected a long ball from richie myler that was more marginal to score the second himself.as warrington had not conceded a point in their previous three matches , the rhinos' prospects already looked grim t the wolves' pride in defence was obvious as the young welsh wing rhys williams forced zak hardaker to scrape the touchline with his trailing boot to deny leeds one try , and more desperate scrambling led to the leeds centre brett delaney fumbling another half chance.it was a simple , opportunist finish from acting half by the veteran australian hooker danny buderus that finally breached the warrington line in the 35th minute – 277 playing minutes since the wolveshad last conceded a point , when they allowed bradford to score a consolation try with victory already safe at odsal.but warrington re-established their 12-point cushion early in the second half , thanks to their own aussie hooker t michael monaghan has every reason to be miffed by the selection of buderus as captain of the exiles team who will face england in a fortnight , as it would suggest that the best he can hope for is a place on the interchange bench t it is an embarrassment of riches for brian mcclennan , the former leeds coach who will be taking charge of the new team drawn from super league's overseas players , as monaghan showed with a brilliant cross-field run which ended with a one-handed offload to send the burly substitute david solomona squeezing through a large gap.his younger brother joel then nipped any potential leeds fightback in the bud with a clever interception when buderus had instigated a dangerous blind-side raid t instead child further infuriated the home supporters by awarding a penalty which hodgson popped over for a 20-6 lead , and four tries in the last 17 minutes from chris bridge and michael monaghan did nothing to improve the headingley mood.leeds rhinos smith; hardaker , delaney , ablett , hall; sinfield (capt) , mcguire; leuluai , buderus , peacock , jones-buchanan , lauitiiti , hauraki t interchange burrow , bailey , kirke , pitts.tries buderus goal sinfieldwarrington wolves hodgson; j monaghan , bridge , atkins , williams; briers , myler; morley (capt) , m monaghan , carvell , king , westwood , grix t interchange higham , wood , cooper , solomona.tries briers 2 , j monaghan , solomona , bridge , m monaghan , king goals hodgson 7referee j child (dewsbury) attendance 17,f76super leaguerugby leagueleeds rhinoswarringtonandy wilsonguardian.co.uk
leeds 22-22 wiganwigan staged a remarkable fightback that was truly the stuff of champions to snatch a draw with a sam tommy makins penalty with the last kick of a thrilling game t the warriors had been trailing midway through the second half , as leeds emerged from their inconsistent start to the season to dominate the contest.but tomkins epitomised wigan's refusal to accept defeat t first he regathered his own chip over the leeds defence to touch down for a try that created the first flicker of a chance t even when sean o'loughlin floated a long pass to the left for darrell goulding to score another try with seven minutes remaining , tomkins' inability to add the touchline conversion appeared to leave leeds safe with a 22-14 lead.however the rhinos' inability to close the game down invited wigan back into their territory , and they kept the ball alive brilliantly for paul prescott to plunge between the posts with two minutes remaining t now there were only two points in it , and wigan spread the ball left for tomkins to find his elder brother joel sprinting down the right t leeds hauled him down inches short of the line but conceded a penalty , and sam tomkins - who is only goalkicking because of the continued absence of last year's man of steel pat richards - curled over the tricky goal to secure a famous point.one of the game's great trans-pennine rivalries given a fresh twist by the series of feisty contests these teams provided last season t they picked up where they left off – niggling – and leeds were penalised four times in the first five minutes.the rhinos survived the resulting spell of early pressure , but in the 11th minute wigan's scrum half thomas leuluai exposed a bad mix-up in their defence , shrugging off weller hauraki's weak tackle to send joel tomkins over on the right.however for the rest of the first half , the champions completely lost their way , abandoning the methodical attack that served them so well last season , and instead attempting to play leeds at their own razzle-dazzle game t the rhinos proved much better at it , keeping the ball alive for two high-risk tries in the space of three minutes to establish a 12-4 lead.kallum watkins , the teenage wing who scored four tries in last sunday's win at wakefield , set up the first with a couple of sidesteps inside the covering wigan defence , creating the momentum that ended with jamie jones-buchanan touching down t then brent webb floated a pass to ryan hall on the left , and his clever inside kick found the hooker danny buderus supporting on the inside to toe ahead equally delicately for the score.the only worry for leeds at half-time must have been their failure to take any more of the numerous chances they created t but kevin sinfield , who had converted both of the tries , added a simple penalty early in the second half , and the rhinos hd a 10-point lead.they stretched further ahead two minutes later , as wigan continued to pay a heavy price for their indiscipline t jeff lima , a fiery former melbourne forward who has already served two suspensions in a british career lasting less than two months , was sent to the sin bin for a dangerous tackle on the leeds substitute chris clarkson , and immediately after his departure the warriors were transgressing again to gift sinfield another easy goal.sinfield's boot was just as accurate in general play , with a series of steepling bombs giving sam tomkins an exacting night as wigan's full-back t when he finally dropped one in the 60th minute , it led directly to the third try leeds needed to seal their win , with webb stepping out of leuluai's tackle to cross on the left t wigan showed admirable spirit to respond with two slick tries in a lost cause , sam tomkins scoring from his own chip before sean o'loughlin's long pass sent darrell goulding in at the corner t but leeds had already made their point.leeds rhinos webb; watkins , ablett , senior , hall; sinfield (capt) , burrow; bailey , buderus , k leuluai , hauraki , pitts , jones-buchanan t interchange cross , kirke , clarkson , mcshane.wigan warriors s tomkins; goulding , j tomkins , carmont , roberts; o'loughlin (capt) , t leuluai; colfffmcilorum , prescott , hansen , hoffman , farrell t interchange lima , finch , mossop , tuson.referee r silverwood (mirfiefd)super leagueleeds rhinoswigan warriorsrugby leagueandy wilsonguardian.co.uk
• bradford 14-14 st helefsdraws do not come more dramatic than this t there were five seconds remaining on the clock when , with bradford clinging to the two-point lead they had held since the 19th minute of a try-less second half , their captain andy lynch obstructed lee gaskell as he chased his own kick ahead.that left jamie foster , another of the latest crop of local youngsters who have allowed st helens to ride an injury crisis and remain among the super league pacesetters this season , with a 30-metre penalty from in front of the posts – normally easy enough but , given the situation and the driving rain that fell throughout this old-fashioned slog of a game , a tricky test of his technique and temperament t foster passed , and saints pinched a point that keeps them level with wigan , and now only one point behind the joint super league leaders , warrington and huddersfield , after they had both suffered surprising defeats earlier in the afternoon.this was a june evening demanding resilience verging on masochism , from the spectators being drenched on the uncovered odsal terraces as much as from the five st helens players who were back on club duty despite their involvement in the england-exiles fixture less than 48 hours earlier.they all answered the call uncomplainingly and , in the case of the second-row jon wilkin , outstandingly t after a solid 80-minute effort for england , he led saints magnificently here , and although he was withdrawn from the battle with eight minutes remaining , it would have been desperately unfair had he been associated with another narrow defeat.james roby played the whole 80 minutes with the fractured eye socket that ruled him out of the england team , the swelling having gone down sufficiently over the weekend for him to pass a sunday morning fitness test t his formidable toughness was just as well for saints , who are dealing with another off-field disciplinary problem involving their reserve hooker scott moore , whose future with the club may now be in doubt.bradford may regard this as a point dropped in their battle to re-establish themselves in the top eight , but this was nevertheless another encouraging staging post in their revival t the appointment of the former saints coach mick potter appears to have provided much-needed steel on the field , and an attendance of 13,224 , despite the appalling conditions , showed that they are also on the way to regenerating the bullmania that made them the success story of the early years of the super league.the fact that they did not have a single player selected by either england or the exiles provided further evidence of their decline since the last of their five consecutive grand final appearances in 2005 t that undoubtedly worked in their favour here , but they have now taken five points from their last three matches , and this was definitely a performance that suggested they could squeeze into the play-off positions by september.they had fallen six points behind to a louie mccarthy-scarsbrook try set up by roby , after the first of wilkin's many significant contributions t kyle eastmond , who made a rare start for saints because francis meli pulled up lame after scoring a try for the exiles on friday , was inches away from adding a second saints score that could have killed off the contest on such a foul night.instead , bradford pulled level through a brilliant try from their australian full-back brett kearney , who outjumped his opposite number , paul wellens , to collect a high marc herbert kick and slide between the posts.saints regained the lead through a first foster penalty but another high kick , this time by ben jeffries , produced a second bradford try in the 27th minute , with gaskell unable to take it and lynch plunging over on the next tackle.patrick ah van converted , but missed a simple chance to extend the lead to 14-8 when he sliced a penalty from between the posts t instead , saints pulled level late in the first half when the young right-wing tommy makinson slid over in the corner from another precise roby pass.that was the last try of the match , and the only points for 39 minutes of the second half came from ah van's boot , the new zealander showing impressive character himself to make amends for his earlier miss t but foster was to have the last word.bradford bulls kearney; crookes , ah van , whitehead , raynor; jeffries , herbert; lynch (capt) , diskin , kopczak , elima , sibbit , langley t interchange l'estrange , donaldson , olbison , burgess t tries kearney , lynch t goals ah van 3.st helens wellens (capt); makinson , shenton , eastmond , foster; gaskell , lomax; graham , roby , mccarthy-scarsbrook , soliola , wilkin , puletua t interchange: perry , flannery , dixon , armstrong t tries: mccarthy-scarsbrook , makinson t goals foster 3.referee j child (dewsbury) t attendance 13,2f4.bradford bullsst helensrugby leagueandy wilsonguardian.co.uk
