Warrington captain Adrian Morley is confident he can succeed where each of his predecessors have failed over the last 14 years by leading his side to victory at St Helens tomorrow.
The Wolves visit the GPW Recruitment Stadium in the fifth round of the Carnegie Challenge Cup hoping to avoid a third derby defeat of the season.
Morley, who celebrates his 31st birthday tomorrow, is desperately hoping a change of name brings a ch
ange of fortune, for Warrington have not won at Knowsley Road since 1994 and it is 39 years since they last beat their arch-rivals in the cup.
They lost 25-14 in the quarter-finals at Knowsley Road last year despite leading 12-4 at half-time and losing Morley in the first minute with a head injury.
Morley, who helped lift the trophy at Wembley with Leeds in 1999, said: "There is no reason why we can't be as competitive as we have been in the two previous games we have played against them this year.
"We actually led for the majority of those games and we put ourselves in a position to win those two games. We need to do more of the same.
"We're conscious that we have to play for 80 minutes against Saints but I don't think that we have a psychological barrier when it comes to playing them.
"I feel Saints raise their game against Warrington, as they should for a local derby, as we do, but I think in the past we have been guilty of letting our foot off the gas when we could be putting games to bed.
"It's going to be tough but we are looking forward to it."
