St Helens club captain Paul Sculthorpe has echoed James Graham's sentiment that the team must not lose their focus as the Challenge Cup Final approaches.

Sculthorpe has been quick to play down suggestions Saints could take their eye off the ball in Super League.

"After the semi-final in the changing rooms we said 'let's keep our foot down now'," he told BBC Radio Merseyside.

"We're at Wembley now, let's forget about that and concentrate on securing that top spot in Super League."

"You can't look past the next team because every team has strength in the Super League.

"You have to go and perform or we could undo the good work we have done in catching Leeds."

Wakefield are a confidence team and if you let them play, they will play Paul Sculthorpe

Saints travel to Wakefield on Sunday and will look for a positive result to keep up the pressure on Leeds at the top of Super League.

Wakefield are still reeling from their failure to make the Challenge Cup Final and Sculthorpe feels the beginning of the match could be crucial.

"I think it all depends on the start of the game.

"It's up to us to start well and really put the foot down early.

"Wakefield are a confidence team and if you let them play, they will play."
