KEIRON Cunningham says his St Helens side are not fazed by the prospect of meeting a Warrington Wolves pack that got the better of Leeds Rhinos' big men last Friday.

The former Saints hooker, who has taken over the champions' reins after Nathan Brown's return to Australia, highlighted the size of the task ahead though in facing the likes of stalwart Ben Westwood, newcomer Ashton Sims and vice-captain Chris Hill.

Westwood has spent the majority of this season so far operating as a third prop at loose forward, a role he has played many times before although he has mainly made the right second-row berth his own since 2005.

“I always thought Ben Westwood was a middle player – and this year he has gone into that role and grasped it with two hands," said Cunningham.

“Then you have Ashton Sims who has given them a bit of steel, so when you put him with Chris Hill it means there will be some big boppers in that middle - some forwards that we have to try and get over the top of.

“But we are not a small pack ourselves and we have stood up to some big packs this year already.”
