Warrington's victory over Saints sparked a rush for tickets, with the club selling half their allocation of 23,000 inside the first 24 hours, as fans clamour to witness potentially a slice of history.
Although they won the league leaders shield in 2011, the club have not been champions since 1955 and Warrington-born Cooper says the town is been gripped by Grand Final fever.
"It's unbelievable," he continued. "Obviously we've never experienced this in Super League. You've seen how the crowd react when it's the Challenge Cup and I expect it to be even better for this.
"I think a lot of Warrington fans have been waiting for this day. There's certainly a big buzz around town already and we're expecting a big turn-out."
