Leeds Rhinos 23-16 Wigan Warriors
Challenge Cup Quarter Final
Headingley Carnegie, Leeds

Could you give us your view on todays game?

It was tough. I think we made it difficult for ourselves but at the end of the day, everyone is very happy with the result and to get into the next round of the cup.

Do you think this could be Leeds' year to lift the Challenge cup? Can you now go all the way to the final?

Yes, there is definitely belief that we can go all the way this year. We just need to take the next game as it comes and concentrate and perform well there.

It has turned out to be a good week for you, having been given a new contract and also scoring a try today; How happy are you at the club and why did you sign an extention when other teams were interested in you?

I'm delighted to be at the Leeds Rhinos. I was never interested in leaving the club but we talked about all the options and I am grateful to have sorted something out.

Finally, its a World Cup year; What do you think about New Zealand's chances of lifting the trophy this year?

I feel we have a good a chance as anyone else in the competition. If we turn up and play well in the games then we're in with a shot. The Kiwi's have a lot of talented players available and we can be a competitive side.
