Warrington Wolves head coach Tony Smith has stressed the importance of composure as his side prepare to take on Wigan Warriors in the Super League Grand Final on Saturday.
Warrington overturned a 10-8 half-time deficit to defeat St Helens 18-10 in a fast and furious semi-final on Thursday to progress to the showpiece event at Old Trafford.
Smith's side now face a Wigan team who will be making a fourth-straight Grand Final appearance and the Australian has warned his players not to let the size of the occasion faze them.
When asked what it would take to win, Smith told Sky Sports News HQ: "Composure, I think, and just being able to execute the big plays when needed.
"They have to put some of the atmosphere aside or use it in a positive way to spur them on. But you can't play the occasion. It is still a game of rugby league. You still need to make your tackles, make the passes, keep composure and kick the ball well.
"All those little things are really important. The team who does those sorts of things well usually comes out on top.
"But it is hard to put that aside. It is a big occasion - the biggest and the best - so that is all part of the test leading into the week but that is the excitement of playing here too. Everybody wants to be part of this."
Wolves have been boosted by the news that standout scrum-half Chris Sandow could be available for the game if he can come through a fitness test this week.
The Australian hasn't featured since the Challenge Cup Final defeat to Hull FC on August 27 due to a strain in his medial knee ligament.
"He [Sandow] has got a fitness test in the next day or so," Smith said. "He is looking alright. We will make a decision on him in the next little while.
"He is putting his hand up. He is a confident young bloke. He has got a lot of confidence in his own ability and that comes out in the way that he plays. He is a cocky little half-back and that is what you want - people that are confident.
"So if he is right it will be hard to say no to it but he has got to be right first so we will make sure he gets through training in the next couple of days and we will make a decision then."
Smith also confirmed there were no new injuries picked up in Thursday's semi-final victory over St Helens and that prop Ryan Bailey is ready to return from a calf injury.
