Warrington back Kurt Gidley says he cannot wait to play in his first Grand Final when the Wolves take on Wigan at Old Trafford on Saturday.
The 34-year-old former Australia international is enjoying his first Super League campaign, having had 15 with Newcastle Knights in the NRL.
Speaking to Sky Sports News HQ on Friday, he said: "I've played here in the past, so it's great to come and experience it the day before a game.

"But can't wait for game day when it's fully packed and the atmosphere will be great.
"Training has been good this week. We've all been training for this common goal and worked hard. Now it's up to us to make a memorable one.
"I'm a bit more experienced than some of the guys but still get the nerves. I feel like a young player coming to a ground like this."
And Gidley says Wolves will be desperate not to lose another major final this season, following their Wembley defeat to Hull FC in the Challenge Cup.
He added: "We had to move on quickly and have been consistent since then. But it's in our own hands on Saturday.
"Already had a few battles with Wigan this year and it's one of the biggest games of my career."
