A former Leeds Rhinos and Castleford Tigers player's hopes of a Wembley appearance this weekend are hanging by a thread, as his coach prepares to call in a 'secret weapon'.

Winger Derrell Olpherts suffered a hamstring injury early in Featherstone Rovers' 30-12 Betfred Championship win at Barrow Raiders on Sunday - and coach Paul Cooke confirmed he is a doubt for Saturday's 1895 Cup final showdown with York Knights. It could be a second-successive disappointment for Olpherts, who was a non-playing member of Wakefield Trinity's 21-man squad for last year's showpiece in the same competition.
