Warrington coach Tony Smith described his club's inaugural Grand Final appearance as "an enormous achievement" after they set up an Old Trafford showdown with Leeds next Saturday.
St Helens caretaker coach Mike Rush admitted conceding a try just before half-time changed the momentum of the game. "We were real pleased with our first half and we were probably a bit unlucky to concede just before half-time," he said. "I don't think we got one penalty in the second half - it was 5-0 in penalties in a semi-final - and, once you lose momentum in a big match, it's hard to wrestle it back. "Warrington were fantastic and Trent Waterhouse was the best I've seen him." Rush, who has been in temporary charge for the last six months, will now hand over the reins to Nathan Brown for the start of the 2013 season. "I would have taken being 40 minutes away from the Grand Final when we took over in March," he said.
