It is a great feeling to be in the Challenge Cup final again but all our efforts will be for nothing if we lose to Wigan at Murrayfield.

We have got to come away with the trophy to make everything worthwhile and that is what we will be going all out to do.

Wigan will be tough to beat and I am sure they will be fired up.

You can never write them off.

They may be having a tough time of it in Super League but we'll have to be at our best again if we want to retain our title.

The semi-final win over Leeds was fantastic.

I don't think the score flattered us at all. In fact, I think referee Russell Smith went easy on them at the end.

I'm not the only person who thinks that way. He penalised us five times in a row at one stage - and two of the tries he disallowed were clear tries.

It is disappointing when that happens but the main thing is we are through to the final. We are not going to start moaning.

We went in at half-time with a big lead but we were still wary that Leeds could bounce back.
