The outcome of the battle between two of the most experienced hookers in the world will largely decide the destination of rugby league's oldest trophy.

No current player has been involved in more Cup finals than Cunningham, who has collected six winners' medals. Challenge Cup final debutant Berrigan is a previous winner of the Clive Churchill Medal as man of the match in an NRL grand final and his cool head and superb organisational abilities probably hold the key to Hull's success.

James Graham v
Garreth Carvell

The contribution of two props who could be lining up together at St Helens next season should make for compelling viewing.

Graham, the 22-year-old England forward, is an explosive handful and will be expected to make a lot of yards for Saints.

On his day, Carvell, pictured left, who was rested last week, is
one of the most destructive props in the business and his ability to drive the ball in and slip out well-timed pass will form an important part of Hull's attack.

Leon Pryce v
Danny Washbrook

AN unlikely duel at stand-off between a player who built his reputation on the wing and another who is a specialist loose forward but one which could well be crucial.

Former Bradford Bulls star Pryce is perhaps the most exciting attacking player in Super League and with ball in hand poses a deadly threat to Hull's Cup ambitions.

The challenge for Washbrook, pictured right, is to negate the
danger Pryce represents with a fully focused defensive
stint.
