Super League XVI Saturday Review

Former Bradford favourite Steve Menzies, the oldest player in Super League, returned to Odsal to destroy his former club.

The Dragons were clinging to a 12-10 lead when Ferriol was sent off on 46 minutes for a high tackle on James Donaldson and they looked certain to pay the price when Bulls prop Tom Burgess scored his first Super League try to put the home side into an 18-12 lead.
However, the Catalans played their best rugby while down to 12 men, scoring four tries in the last 25 minutes to secure a crucial win that kept alive their top-four hopes and dealt a severe blow to Bradford's play-off aspirations.
Gareth Raynor, Tom Burgess, Ben Jeffries and Olivier Elima all claimed tries for the home side, with Patrick Ah Van kicking six goals.
But it was not enough as the Dragons cross the whitewash thanks to Sebastien Raguin, Ian Henderson, Clint Greenshields (2), Damien Blanch (2) and Scott Dureau, who also landed three goals.
Matt King claimed a clinical hat-trick as leaders Warrington underlined their Super League title credentials with another thumping 48-18 win over Castleford on Friday night.
The Wolves destroyed Terry Matterson's side 62-0 on home soil two months ago and again had far too much quality, despite missing skipper Adrian Morley and playmaker Lee Briers.
Tony Smith's men led 24-0 at the break after tries from Brett Hodgson, Richie Myler, Matty Blythe and King.
King added two more scores to complete his treble and with Joel Monaghan, Hodgson and Ryan Atkins adding further scores, Castleford's spirited second-half rally ultimately meant little.
The Tigers crossed through Ryan Hudson, Brett Ferres, Rangi Chase and Greg Eden but the damage had long since been done.
Wigan remain on the heels of Warrington thanks to a third successive win 26-24 but they were pushed all the way by a Leeds side that defied their recent poor form with a battling display.
The Rhinos led 18-12 at half-time and thought they had snatched a famous victory four minutes from the end when Danny McGuire touched down only for video referee Steve Ganson to disallow the try for a knock-on.
The champions fell below the high standards they set in their big wins over St Helens and Huddersfield but credit must go to Leeds, who inspired by skipper Kevin Sinfield and veteran full-back Brent Webb, were the best team for long periods of the match.
The defeat leaves Leeds in sixth place and still looking for a first win of the season over the teams above them but coach Brian McDermott will be delighted with their fighting spirit.
Francis Meli grabbed a brace of tries as St Helens claimed their first win in four matches with a 28-14 defeat of Hull to consolidate their top-four spot.
Chris Flannery, Jonny Lomax and Tommy Makinson also crossed over for Saints while Jordan Turner and Tom Briscoe (2) got on the scoresheet for the visitors.
Ashley Gibson's double saw Salford come from behind to claim a hard-fought 26-18 win over Harlequins.
Teenager Dan Sarginson scored in each half on his debut for struggling Quins and they scented just a second win in 15 when they led 18-14 with seven minutes left.
But Mark Henry and Gibson crossed in the closing stages to give Salford their fourth win in five and keep alive their hopes of snatching a play-off spot.
