Iestyn Harris is sick of being a bridesmaid.

Harris reached the inaugural showpiece final with Leeds in 1998 but lost out to Wigan, while last year it was his former club who handed him a second taste of defeat on the game's biggest stage.

"I've lost two now so it's about time I came out with one of those rings," said Harris. "I'm certainly desperate to win."

The memories of last year's defeat must still be raw after he was singled out for abuse by Rhinos fans but Harris insists he isn't motivated by revenge.

"The fact that it is a local derby and there are going to be close to 70,000 people there is special in itself. The fact it is Leeds doesn't mean any more to me than any of the other Bradford players.

"It is something we are desperate to win. Bradford haven't had any success for a couple of years now and it is time we stood up to be counted.

"We're at the business end of the year and we've come good again, so hopefully we can go one better this time. Last year was very disappointing and something that we don't want to re-live."

And Harris is in no doubt that tomorrow represents his best chance of Super League glory.

"You are always confident going into a final but if you look around our team and look at the likes of Lesley Vainikolo, Shontayne Hape, Adrian Morley, Jamie Peacock and Leon Pryce, you are thinking: 'this is a real good shout we've got here'.

"We are a mature team full of experience, confidence and ability. If we don't come up with a win it will be a crying shame. The season will go down as a failure if we don't win tomorrow."

After turning their season around with an 11-match winning streak, the Bulls would head into tomorrow's showdown brimming with confidence, said Harris.

"Confidence is something we struggled with all the way through the year. People ask what changed, who waved the magic wand or what was said to start the streak? Well, it wasn't something any one person said or did. Everyone has worked hard all year and, when you have confidence, you can do special things. We have got it in abundance at the moment."

Despite enduring a season punctuated with lows and having to contend with an off-field legal battle with the Rhinos, Harris insists he has never regretted his decision to join the Bulls.

"Never at any time have I thought 'I don't want to be here'. It is a special club and somewhere that I really enjoy myself. The people are great, the fans are great and I am probably enjoying my rugby more than I ever have done before."
