"We are expecting a tough game. It was always a really hard place, where if you concede a couple of tries that piles up the pressure.

"There is something about Wakefield, as once they get a role on they are pretty hard to stop.

"We’ve got a good record there this year, so we are aiming for a clean sweep.

"With the amount of stick I got from Warrington fans last week, Wakefield should be alright for me.

"We like playing there because it is a challenge and is different.”
