this is going to be a pretty special moment for Piggy I just want to give him a moment to embrace his former coach where he won a Super League title over in England at Wigan Mark Piggy-Riddell you've got your former coach and your great mate Michael Maguire with you there we go down here with the coach Madge just describe it mate the feelings you obviously set out on that challenge after game one

I think you like our experiences, mate. Like the satisfaction you get for your players and your staff. They're the ones that know all the hard work that we've got to this point and just the whole organisation. So it's really nice to be able to... The boys have gone over to the Blatchley Blues and we'll wander over and have a bit of fun with them. But that was a great effort from the boys. Mate, talk us through that first half. Toe to toe. It was probably one of the most ferocious and physical...

first half I've seen of rugby league. Yeah, it was. It was a bit of a just a fight really because I couldn't get ruck speed and obviously they sort of let that go a little bit and then we had to fight for everything that you got and both teams were at it and then we went into half time two down but when the boys came in at half time they

They just were really confident about what we were doing. All they said is that this is going to be an 80. This is an Origin. I've been told that from so many of the old boys that when you come up here, it is going to be that. And they definitely turned it on. Mate, what about it? At what moment did you think, where got this? Was it the Mitchell Moses try? That piece of individual brilliance? Yeah, probably a little bit. But still you're thinking it's an Origin. Eight minutes to go. Eight minutes, six minutes. It was actually two minutes. I was still going off. So...

But, yeah, you respect what this game brings and to see the players now and having a look. They want to get me a photo. Get in there.
