Leeds Rhinos pivot makes Wembley pledge ahead of Challenge Cup meeting with Salford Red Devils

Lui missed Thursday’s 40-22 win over Hull - after being hurt in the Cup semi-final five days earlier - and now has just a week to get ready for the Wembley showdown on Saturday, October 17.

Lui insisted: “I will get a good week’s prep’.

“I will be working hard with the physio and on the watt bike.

“I should be okay.”

Explaining his injury, Lui revealed: “I had a bang on the knee from the Wigan game.

“It was a bit sore when I was running, but I am okay today [Thursday].

“Rich [Agar, Rhinos’ coach] didn’t want to push anything, but the boys did a job.

“It gave an opportunity for Wakka [Jack Walker] at full-back and Richie [Myler] in the halves and I think the coach has a good headache there for the next couple of games.”

Second-rower Rhyse Martin confirmed he has a stiff neck following Thursday’s game, but also pledged to be available for Wembley.
