“I got here final yr to observe the Grand Closing hoping we might be right here after which 12 months later we’re right here.
“They blew us away in the Challenge Cup but those other two games have been really tight so it is whoever turns up and plays the best on the day that will get the result.
“We now have proven that we will match it with Wigan and clearly there’s a mutual respect there.
“It is going to be whoever turns up on the day, settles down the quickest, they will win the game.”
