St Helens head coach Kristian Woolf says their recent Super League win over Hull FC will have no bearing on Saturday's Challenge Cup semi-final.
Saints won 34-16 in last week's regular-season encounter with the Airlie Birds.
"We're expecting a really tough game and it's a different game," Woolf said.
"We're really happy with what we did on the weekend, but there's a lot more on the line this week, and Hull will want to throw themselves into this competition."

Brandon Dawson: Saints played well last week but Hull beat themself with a awful start. If we cut out the mistakes and make it a arm wrestle I think we win it. I’ll go FC 28-18 Saints
Darren H: Give us very little chance against that saints line up but never know in the cup. Reynolds got to have more influence today, and that right edge needs to be miles better!

I am buzzing to be here and this could be an exceptional game.
Hull have a big impetus to improve after losing to St Helens last week, that makes it an interesting tie.
