Hull KR coach Justin Morgan will not allow sentiment or family ties to get in the way of his Wembley ambitions.
Morgan's team have been paired with holders St Helens in the quarter-finals of the Carnegie Challenge Cup - threatening to divide a family for his sister is married to the brother of Saints coach Daniel Anderson.
Anderson, who is hoping to complete a hat-trick of Challenge Cup triumphs before he returns to Australia at the end of the year, won their first duel when Saints beat Rovers in the semi-finals in 2006, but Morgan masterminded a shock win in the opening round of Super League this year.
"Our paths have crossed quite a bit over the last few years and I've won one so far, so let's hope I can get another before he leaves," said Morgan.
"I want him to enjoy his final year but not this one."
St Helens have been made 15-8 joint favourites to lift the trophy at Wembley on August 30 but Morgan believes home advantage can sway the last-eight tie the way of the underdogs.
"When you get to this stage, you've got to beat some of the heavyweights and they don't come any heavier than St Helens," he said.
"I'm really excited to be at home. That's a huge advantage. If we are going to win the Challenge Cup this year - and that is our intention - we're going to have beat some of the big teams.
"I don't think that victory earlier this year will count for anything but what it does mean is that they don't hold any fear for us. They're a lot better now but so are we."
Super League champions Leeds, the other joint favourites, will also have revenge in mind when they take on Wigan, who won 22-18 in a fifth-round tie at Headingley last May and are the only team to beat the Rhinos on their home ground this year.
"They'll be very, very wary of us going there," said Wigan coach Brian Noble. "It's the tie of the round and we're looking forward to it."
The Warriors booked their place in the last eight with a 106-8 rout of part-timers Whitehaven in a delayed fifth-round tie at the JJB Stadium on Monday night.
Teenager Sam Tomkins scored a remarkable five tries on debut as Wigan went some way towards exorcising the demons of last week's Millennium misery.
Tomkins, the younger brother of Wigan second-rower Joel, notched a hat-trick inside the first 12 minutes and added another two after the break.
"To score five tries on your debut is very special," said Noble. "Let's not put him in the 'universe' team yet - but we know we've got a good talent."
The Warriors crossed for 18 tries in all, with Pat Richards kicking 17 goals to go with the 16th touchdown for a personal tally of 38 points - just six short of matching the record set by Jim Sullivan in Wigan's all-time record 116-0 win over Flimby and Fothergill in 1925.
The other all-Super League quarter-final pits Bradford coach Steve McNamara against his old club Hull, the 2005 winners, at the Grattan Stadium, Odsal.
Wakefield, who have won their last six League and cup matches, have been made 8-1 fourth favourites after being paired with National League Two club Oldham at Belle Vue.
