The stand-off has faced a race against time to be ready for Saturday's Wembley showdown with Hull KR.

He was expected to miss the big day after needing ankle surgery which required eight to 10 weeks off.

But the inspirational Wolves skipper simply ignored that - and worked overtime.

At yesterday's Cup final press event in Leeds, he revealed: "I am going to play. I've just fast-forwarded everything and shaved a couple of weeks off the normal recovery time. I've done everything I can. I was going to be on crutches for two weeks but after a week I was walking. Then I ran a week earlier. I just speeded it all up a little bit.
