GEORGE Williams will return bidding to grasp Warrington’s second chance of Wembley glory and make it third time lucky for himself.
The England captain will be back after missing seven weeks with ruptured ankle ligaments.
And he is out to avenge last year’s Challenge Cup final loss to Wigan and losing 2017’s showpiece to Hull FC when he was with the Warriors.
But despite the quick recovery, he is adamant he is not risking it for the sake of it.
Williams said: “I’m not stupid. Obviously, if I didn’t feel like I could do a job and then have to come off, then I wouldn’t put my hand up
“My rehab has gone really, really well. Fingers crossed that I’m alright, but I feel really good. I’ve always been a quick healer.
“And Wembley was an easy goal. If you know you do everything right and you play at Wembley, you do it.
“But I won the Grand Final at the third attempt, hopefully history can repeat itself. Win this weekend and my memories of Wembley will be formed.”;
Warrington have been on the big stage already this year – and flopped in Las Vegas.
So Williams knows Sam Burgess’ side needs to live up to the billing against Hull KR on Saturday.
He added: “Last year we fell short at Wembley. In Vegas, we didn’t perform at all and with this group obviously since Sam took over, we’ve not won anything.
“So this is our second chance at Wembley. I think we had 10 or 11 lads that had never played in the final before and I think the occasion got the better of us.
“There are no excuses this time around, even though we’re playing against the top of the league. Now they’ve tasted defeat there and thought, ‘I don’t want to do that again.’
“So have I. Hopefully now we can right some wrongs.”;
Williams’ return sets up an almighty duel at stand-off with Rovers star Mikey Lewis, a man known for making a big noise on the pitch.
Off it, though, things can be very different as his national skipper told SunSport: “Speaking from my experience, when we’re with England it can be pretty quiet.
“II’s pretty weird. Mikey’s playing to the crowd, he’s doing what he does but he’s playing well, so it’s hard to argue with that.”;
