SAINTS take on Castleford in the Challenge Cup sixth round on Saturday.

Although Cas will start favourites Saints can take heart from Easter Monday when they defeated the Tigers 26-22.

Interim coach Derek Traynor said: “We have to take confidence from what was our best performance of the season.

“We played well against Castleford at our place and know we can compete with them.

“Going to Castleford is probably the toughest ask in Super League at the moment but we know the ability we have. We just have to show it for 80 minutes on the day.

“We have a few knocks.

Ryan Morgan should be ok and that means we have everyone but Jonny Lomax available to pick from.

“Alex Walmsley and Mark Percival will be back too.

“They came back in on Monday, watched the video of the game with us and then went to sleep off their jet lag.

“They are quality players, that’s why they were in the England squad, and they will come back in and give everyone a boost.”

The cup means a lot to Saints, players, coaches and fans.

Traynor recalls fondly his first Wembley visit in 1972 when Saints defeated Leeds.

Traynor said: “I was brought up on the Challenge Cup and I love it.

“It is a massive occasion and a massive honour for the club and the players to get there and hopefully win it.

“My first Wembley was in 1972 and I still remember walking up the steps and seeing how big it was.

“ It took my breath away the sheer size of it.

“I am sure the players would love to put their mark on the history at the club.

“We have to go over there, do what we can do for 80 minutes and get into the next round."
