QUESTION: How do you guard against complacency as hottest semi-final favourites for years?

ANSWER: "I remind the players that Warrington flogged us at Wilderspool last season and stopped our unbeaten run.

"Warrington were also the best side for 30 minutes in last season's semi-final. They are a very, very dangerous team.

"When the balls were drawn of the bag in many respects it is the toughest game we could have got and the most dangerous.

"I lost in four semi-finals as a player and twice when we were favourites and I recognise that on the day it is about emotion as much as anything else."

QUESTION: What about the fact that it is the last chance for some Warrington players?

ANSWER: "Players like Andrew Gee, Allan Langer and Alan Hunte will be world class on Sunday. There is no doubt about that because that is exactly what they are.

"This is a huge opportunity for them to silence their critics. A Challenge Cup final place is up for grabs and it will possibly be the last chance for a few of their players. It is the scene for a Rocky script.
