A tear or two at the game, a tear or two when I watched it on the recording when I got home yesterday, and another tear or two when I watched it on the BBC highlights!
After what we've had to endure over the last 10 years or so, this win is fantastic. The dark days of relegation battling, of being absolutely thrashed by Stains and the Whinos, of being humiliated at home by teams like Wakey and Huddersfield on a regular basis, of SC infringements and all the other rubbish are now behind us.
Not only do we have the best team, the best squad, the best coaching staff and the best chairman, we have the best fans and the biggest fanbase. What the rest of RL has feared for a long time has now happened. The greatest club in the game has risen again and not only are we back, we are back with a vengeance. Bring on the WCC and the 2011 season, I can't wait!
My 5 year old lad cried when Pat got injured and didn't come back on and also when he spilled his diet coke. Nearly wept at paying £3.20 for 330ml beer. We won, it felt great but no tears from me.
No tears.. but just a hell of a lot of pride and relief.
How good was it to see not just our passion, but the players passion at the end shining through and defending our line for each other and for that trophy.
Yup, me and JTB stood there blubbing whilst Grego took photos of us and Mrs JTB shouted 'oh my gaaaaaarrrrrddddddddddd' at incredible volume! I also had a tear in my eye when we were presented with the League Leaders' shield, when we won at Headingley and subsequently every time I've watched the end of the GF, from when the final hooter goes to when SOL lifts the trophy. And when I was telling everyone the tale of the GF in work this morning. And now, writing this. God bless Lancome waterproof mascara!
I just hope that, in the event we have more success over the coming years, I still always have the same reaction.
