And it is difficult to argue with the Castleford half back's assessment of Sunday National League One decider at Headingley.
The winner takes a place in Super League, around 700k in TV cash and all the ensuing sponsorship and advertising revenue.
It is, by any stretch of the imagination, a significant prize.
The victor will also be in the box seat when - and if - Rugby Football League chairman Richard Lewis gets his way and starts handing out franchises in 2009.
To be fair though, it is the fate of the loser that is more interesting for keen observers of life outside the top flight.
Both the Tigers and the Vikings have invested plenty of cash over the last 12 months to get this far.
Now one of them is going to have to come to terms with the harsh reality of defeat.
Cas, with a vibrant support base, strong junior set up and a couple of cashed-up directors, could certainly survive another season in the lower leagues with the widespread expectation that they would be awarded a Super League ticket the following year.
What about Widnes though?
To be brutally honest, a crowd of just over 3,000 at the Halton Stadium for last Thursday's final eliminator didn't suggest they were a Super League club in waiting.
Yes, it was on telly, but the same game at Wheldon Road would have attracted double that figure. It's difficult to ignore statistics like that.
Like Halifax, they certainly have potential. And they are undoubtedly further down the road towards their goal than Fax are at the present time, even after a tumultous year in the boardroom following the departure of chairman Steve Vaughan.
But the feeling persists that Sunday represents a truly pivotal day in Widnes's long and distinguished history.
It may not be quite win or bust, but with Salford, Celtic Crusaders and Cas all likely to be ahead of them in the franchise pecking order, defeat would surely herald some significant soul searching.

I THINK it's four, but it could be five. In fact, I've lost count.
I am, of course, refering to the number of occasions Stacey Jones has emerged from international retirement to play for New Zealand.
To be fair to the Kiwi half back, who supposedly packed up full stop at the end of the Super League season, his latest about turn only involves turning out for the 'All Golds' in their clash with the Northern Union - aka Great Britain - at Warrington in a couple of weeks, the game to mark the centenary of the birth of Test match rugby league.
He won't be only one either, with Ruben Wiki and Nigel Vagana also due to turn out and Australia prop Steve Price reprising the role of Dally Messenger, the Australian who guested on New Zealand's first ever trip to these shores.
Now call me cynical, but with the Kiwis playing a three test series against the Lions immediately afterwards, would anyone care to give me odds on Jones stretching his distinguished international career by another three games?
Again.
