Just won the Cup and Grand Final
Had a relatively easy cup run
Played Leeds, Cas, Huddersfield and then Bradford in the final, which we won by 6pts or something, not all that easy. Then set our targets on me not getting sacked, entering the playoffs my confidence was 49% because I'd not got the Alliance into the playoffs.
Anyway, first game, we play League Leaders, Wigan. We get off to a good start and are leading 20-14 with 10 mins to go. We lost 21-20 with the last kick of the game, although weirdly I used the drop goal function and Lomax just booted it up towards Charnley which set them up for the win.
Second game we played Huddersfield who we beat 20-8, was a good win which got the wheels in motion. Few good plays from Wello (who seems to have gained some exceptional speed for some reason
), meant that we were home and dry by half time.
Third game was Wire away. Think we won by about 20pts, Foster was clinical with the boot, Gardner even managed to score twice, poor Chris Riley couldn't match him in the air.
Last game was the Grand Final, used the monumental speech before the game. Wow, it worked fine, we were up 18-0 at HT. Managed to keep onto the lead for a good 20 mins before Wigan scored again. With 75mins on the clock, Richards makes a break and goes length of the field, but stays out wide. Finch misses the goal and we're 18-16 up. This time I made sure that we didn't have the drop goal option set up.
Final whistle goes and we're Champions. Shame it won't happen in real life
