Warrington halfback Tyrone Roberts is determined to leave his English Super League club with a parting gift before he returns to Australia at the end of the season.
The former Newcastle and Gold Coast playmaker arrived in England with the ambition to win a major trophy and top of his list is the Challenge Cup as the Wolves prepare to take on Leeds in the second semi-final in Bolton on Sunday.
"It was one of my goals when I made the decision to come here," said Roberts, who's cutting short his stay for family reasons.
"I'm doing what I can for this team. Whatever happens next season, I'll leave that until the end of the year when I'm finished."
The 27-year-old was Warrington's first marquee player but made a low-key start to the season and has produced his best football since deciding to activate an opt-out clause in his three-year contract.
"I wanted to do that from the start but I had so many niggles," he said.
"I'm not making excuses for my lack of footy but I wasn't 100 per cent.
"But now I feel great and I'm enjoying my footy in the sun. I think it's building something good coming into the semis."
Despite their last-gasp defeat by Super League leaders St Helens last week, the Wolves remain handily placed for the semi-finals but Roberts says the excitement has been building for the cup.
"The boys didn't really talk about it much until we got to the semis but now it's become a big thing, we're only one game away from Wembley," he said.
