West Hull A.R.L.F.C are no secret to big games—walk into the clubhouse and you're met with the shine of silverware to rival any community club—but come Saturday afternoon, they'll play in the biggest fixture in the club's entire history.

Hosting rugby league juggernaut St Helens at Hull KR's Craven Park, the Green and Gold outfit, founded by Hull FC immortal Johnny Whiteley, will meet the most successful side of the Super League era. Expecting in the region of 2,000 fans for the Challenge Cup clash, the club aren't fazed by what's ahead, instead buoyed by an opportunity to show what the National Conference League is all about.

With David vs. Goliath stories to tell, they are the true underdog, but again, that doesn't bother new head coach Ryan Steen, taking charge of just his third first-team game.

A long-serving member of the Wests unit, one that saw the North Road-based outfit defeat York Knights back at the Boulevard in 1996 before meeting Wakefield Trinity, Steen isn't playing this one down. Beating Edinburgh Eagles and Hunslet in rounds one and two, there's no doubt in his mind of the size of the third-round tie.

"For me, this is our biggest ever fixture," Steen told Hull Live. "If you look at Super League's history and what St Helens have won, I'd definitely say it's the biggest game we've ever faced at this club.

"Playing in NCL Grand Finals and winning them, they're something different, something special, but when it comes to the full club as a whole and the opportunity to play St Helens, it's massive for us, the team, and our whole community."

He continued, "It's a bit surreal, really; I never thought I was going to be coaching against St Helens three games in, but it's not about me. It's about the boys enjoying the day, putting their best foot forward, and giving a good account of themselves.

"We've just got to do what we do. We'll go out and enjoy it and just go about our business. No one is expecting anything from us—we're expected to get steamrolled, so there's no pressure on us.

"That's why it's so important that we enjoy the whole day, not just the game itself, but the buildup and everything. A lot of our players have played in academy systems, and they've played in some big games, but a lot of our lads also haven't played at a stadium like Craven Park before. We've got to enjoy the moment. That's all we can do."

Captained by the likes of former Hull FC academy player Josh Wood, West Hull are no slouches, with the half-back/hooker having offers throughout his NCL career to play professionally.

Wood hasn't been on his own, and at the other end of the spectrum, there's a new generation of talent coming through with rising young guns like 16-year-old Matty Grant—set to mix it with the likes of Alex Walmsley and co.

For Steen, it all adds to the euphoria of the Challenge Cup, with a team largely full of tradies set to take on the nine-time Super League winners.

"The majority of us are all construction workers," Steen explained. "I'm a scaffolder; Woody is a scaffolder. We've also got plasterers, Ryan Wilson; he's a joiner, Bobby Tyson-Wilson; he's a sparkie, and we've got a few brickies.

"It's mainly tradies, but we've also got an accountant on the team; Tom Verity; he's the one smart kid we've got. He used to play at Rovers; he played for West Hull all of his life and then went to the academy. He's an accountant; he's the tightest man on the team by a mile. He's not daft.

"We've then got some young boys still at college. Matty Grant; he's going to be playing on the weekend. He's still 16, and he's only just left school. It's mad to think he'll be potentially playing against Alex Walmsley.

"That's us. We've got a lot of young lads in the team this year. We've had a bit of a transition with me coming in to coach, and a few lads have retired. A few lads have come through the under-18s, but our senior boys now are those who have come through the professional systems.

"They're all leaders, especially Josh Wood, our captain; he's our leader on the field. He could have played higher, to be honest, and there was an opportunity to go play elsewhere. He had the chance to play in League 1, Championship, and he chose not to. He's got family connections and work; it's not always for everyone, but he's definitely a kid who could play at a higher level, but we're very lucky to have him here."

Wests will count on that experience to help steer them around against the Saints, with the full club grateful for Hull KR's hospitality after it became apparent that home base Johnny Whiteley Park wouldn't be able to host the tie.

"They've done the best they can for us, and we're really grateful for that," Steen added on the Robins. "Ideally, we'd have loved it at Johnny Whiteley Park. It would have been great for the West Hull community and all of the juniors, but it is what it is.

"We knew about all the criteria, facilities, and external stuff that we just don't have at West Hull, but Rovers have been great. We can't thank them enough. We just hope we can put on a good show now, but whatever happens, we'll enjoy it. Make no mistake there."
