“We don’t have a knockout competition like this in Australia, so it’s good to be involved in it because that’s what you want in your career.

“The stakes are a lot higher and teams turn up desperate to get a result and a win.

“It’d be nice to go back to back but we’re not looking too far ahead- Hull KR have played great against us both times this year so we will have to be on it on Sunday to get a result.

“We need to find some consistency in our game. It helps to have a string of few games together with a settled spine.

“We’re hoping this can springboard a good run into the backend of the year.

“The game against Warrington was tough and physical, and they put you in good stead to play matches like the one on Sunday.”
