BEN Currie admitted Warrington Wolves booking another trip to Wembley will mean nothing to him unless they come back with the Betfred Challenge Cup.
The 30-year-old second row is set to feature in a fourth Challenge Cup final as a Wolves player following Sunday’s 21-14 semi-final win over Leigh Leopards.
But the 18-4 win over St Helens six years ago is, so far, the only time Currie has tasted Wembley glory after losses to Hull FC and Wigan Warriors in 2016 and 2024 respectively, and is desperate to add another winners’ medal to his collection.

“I’ve probably not won enough trophies in my career, so I want to go there and come back with silverware,” Currie told BBC Five Live Sports Extra.
“I’m not just happy to be in the final or be at Wembley, it only means something now if we come away with silverware.
“That’s a massive driver for me and hopefully we can do that.”
This year’s Wembley showpiece pits last year’s runners-up against beaten 2023 finalists Hull KR, who beat Catalans Dragons 36-12 in Saturday’s semi-final.
The Robins also edged out the Wolves 10-8 in last year’s Super League play-off semi-final, adding to the motivation for Currie and his team-mates to make sure it is their name on the trophy in 2025.
“We can’t dwell on the past too much, but I’m sure a lot of our boys remember the feeling we had last year at Wembley,” Currie said.
“We don’t want that again, for sure.
“The semi-finals of the play-offs at the end of last year, we got beaten by Hull KR as well, so there will be a bit of fire in our belly.”
