4:41 Watch highlights as the Warrington Wolves beat the Huddersfield Giants 19-12 in Super League
“I said to Shaun about getting a pre-season under my belt this year and I’ve not had one since 2011, which makes a massive plus for me to get a full pre-season under my belt. This year, I think I had two weeks.
“I’ll back myself to get in any squad. I’m getting a little bit older now, so I need that pre-season in me, but I had a good chat with Shaun and we both know where we’re at.”
Playing a leading role in the Wolves finally lifting the Super League title for the first time in their history, having been on the losing team with the club in the Grand Final on four occasions, would be one way to show to Wane he should still be under consideration.
First though, third-placed Warrington must overcome Hull FC – a team they have beaten twice during the regular season – in the first round of the play-offs in Thursday’s match at the Halliwell Jones Stadium, live on Sky Sports.
The sixth-placed Black and Whites were one of the beneficiaries of the decision to expand the play-offs, but Hill has no complaints about the late changes to the post-season and is just pleased to see everything mapped out for the road to the Grand Final on November 27.
“We’ve just concentrated on ourselves, but it’s good to get a pathway in front of you,” Hill said. “We said from the outset we want to be in big games and these big games start this week, but we’re not looking past Thursday.
“They’re probably coming into a little bit of form as well and they’ve got into the six, so they’ll fancy themselves. If we give our best version of ourselves, we’ll be pretty confident.”
