PAUL Cullen will leave dreams of cup glory to the fans as he focuses on finding a way to beat St Helens on Saturday.

Cullen has spoken in the past of his desire to lift the Challenge Cup with his hometown club, having been an 11-year-old supporter on the terraces at Wembley when Warrington last won the cup in 1974.

But as Saturday's fifth-round tie at Knowsley Road approaches, he is reluctant to look any further than the task of beating Saints.

Asked how much it would mean to bring cup success to the club, he said: "I'm sure it would mean an awful lot but as a coach, and certainly one in my position, getting involved in that kind of emotional debate is not one for me. That's for supporters.

"My job is trying to make sure our discipline is good enough at the weekend, our attacking options are going to be sufficient and we can defend our try line better than we did last time."
