Leeds Rhinos coach Brian McDermott has praised the performances of Jamie Peacock and Carl Ablett during his side's victory over Warrington Wolves in the Challenge Cup semi-finals.

The Rhinos secured their fourth trip to Wembley Stadium in five years on Saturday as they saw off the Wolves 24-16.

"Carl Ablett is a quiet assassin and had a couple of try-savers. He keeps doing those things. And JP, I don't know what to say other than I'm scared that he may retire. We have to plan for when we does," McDermott told Sky Sports News.

"In terms of a team performance we were collectively very good but the stand-outs for me were JP and Ablett. You have to be able to watch a game to know how much work they do."

The second semi-final takes place tomorrow [Sunday] when Widnes Vikings face Castleford Tigers.
