I couldn't believe we won this.
I was out at an annual dinner for my theatre group and wasn't able to watch it. But I followed it on my phone when I could and again like last week I almost switched the phone off at 24-0.
But being the fan I am I couldn't do that and kept sneaking peeks in between the main meal and dessert. At 24-12 I knew I had to keep with it and much to the annoyance of my wife who thought I was being very rude, I reported scores to a close mate of mine at the same table who is also a huge Sharks fan. When it got to 28-24, I leant across the table and let my mate know the score and we both quietly excused ourselves and walked over to the side of the room to follow the last five minutes on the NRL chat.
We both erupted as Robson went over and then cowered like scared kittens during the last minute and that "held up" try.
We returned to the table grinning like Cheshire cats the minute the game was over. The victory was a bit sweeter for my mate as his ex-wife was at the dinner and she is a Roosters fan! Ha!
Great win to the boys! I've watched the highlights and will watch the replay, probably second half only, later today.
Makes next week's game against the Knights better to look forward to and dare we dream to lift ourselves off the bottom and be out of contention for the spoon. Long way to go before we can say that though.
