St Helens, who finished second in the regular season table, hosted Bradford Bulls for thequalifying play-off in week one of the play-offs. One of Super League's most well known tries was scored in the final seconds of the match.[1] Bradford led the game 11–10 into the final minute when, deep in the St Helens half with the match seemingly lost, St Helens were awarded a penalty. The try scored on the second tackle byChris Joynt became known as "Wide to West" due to the phrase being used in live commentary byEddie Hemmings. St Helens won 16–11.
