The Challenge Cup Final takes place this Saturday at Wembley Stadium with all eyes on Wigan Warriors fullback Sam Tomkins, who holds the key to his team's success.

Wigan Warriors, the current Super League Champions, will take on Leeds Rhinos this weekend to lift one of the famous trophies in world sport.

Michael Maguire’s men can be backed as overwhelming favourites to actually win the trophy but the first try scorer market will be heavily backed and Tomkins is certainly the one to watch.

Tomkins currently leads the try scoring charts in Super League with 26 four pointers and he is joint favourite to open the scoring at Wembley on Saturday. The youngster is on offer at 8/1 with William Hill alongside team-mate Pat Richards.

Next in line is Wigan’s whiz kid Josh Charnley, who scored tries in the quarter-final and semi-final wins over Warrington Wolves and St Helens respectively - he is on offer at 9/1.

The Rhinos’ best chance falls to flying winger Ryan Hall and he can be backed at 10/1, while fellow winger Zak Hardaker is available at 12/1.

If backing the favourites does not interest you and you would rather go for an outsider why not have a flutter on both captains.

Wigan skipper Sean O’Loughlin, who is in outstanding form for the Cherry and Whites this season, can be backed at 20/1 to grab the first try, while Leeds captain Kevin Sinfield is always dangerous near an opponents line and is on offer at 22/1.

The Warriors have a great relationship with the competition, winning it on 17 different occasions and won a record eight successive Challenge Cup Finals from 1988-1995, while their opponents, Leeds, have won the trophy 11 times - the last being at Wembley in 1999 against the London Broncos.
