Leeds Rhinos Women feel ready to right the wrongs of last year’s Wembley experience but Lois Forsell has warned her side to not look past Wigan Warriors.
The two-time winners were involved in the first-ever Challenge Cup final at the national stadium in 2023 but have painful memories after losing 22-8 to St Helens. 'We were proud to make history and be there in the final but we were really disappointed with the result and know we can be better this year,' said Forsell. 'I think it would be different this time around if we were to get there. We've done it now and know what to expect because it was very much an unknown last year.
'You know it's going to be physical and you know they've got some great athletes who will catch you if you switch off. 'Even last year in the semi-final, they challenged us and it was real close at half-time. We know it's going to be a tough game and have got to be really focused. 'They're up there in the top four. We're looking forward to playing them this weekend.
