I'd be lying if I said that we wouldn't have preferred Castleford in the last four of the Challenge Cup.

Everyone knows that St Helens and Wigan are two of the top sides in the country and always in the shake-up for a trophy.

But if we are going to win the competition this year then we've got to beat whoever is put in front of us.

There will be a lot of talk about revenge between now and the game against Saints, but it is a word we will be trying to avoid.

We just see them as another obstacle in our path to Murrayfield, although to start talking about the final would be foolish.

To make matters a little more interesting, we play Saints in the Super League the week before.

But we are looking forward to the semi-final. We will have a big crowd behind us and fingers crossed we can turn them over.

We will need to improve significantly on Saturday's display against Wakefield.
