Knights winger and skipper Liam Harris wants his side to use Saturday’s final to showcase their top tier credentials.

York have never played in Super League and were ranked 15th in the IMG gradings, used to decide which teams should make up the game’s 12-team premier division, last year.

“Outside looking in, people probably turn their nose up at this competition,” Harris told BBC Radio York.

“It is played after the [main] game and all the fans have left and all that sort of stuff, but to us, looking at it internally, it is the only knockout competition we can win so to us it’s everything.

“That is what is on offer and we’ll go for it. If and when we get the job done on the weekend it is a fair step in a positive direction for the club, and that’s very important to us as well.

“I believe York is a Super League club in the making and it’s only a matter of time [before we become one].”
