Why Wigan Warriors starlet Jack Farrimond played like he didn't have a care in the world at Wembley!
There was a very simple explanation why Lance Todd Trophy winner Jack Farrimond played as if he didn't have a care in the world during Wigan Warriors' Challenge Cup triumph over Hull KR.
He literally didn't!
“I had a chat with Tommy (Leuluai, assistant coach) when we got here asking if it was good that I wasn’t nervous," said Farrimond. "I didn’t know if it was a bad thing, being so calm on such a big day.
“Tommy said it goes one of two ways...it’s either that you’re not nervous because you’re confident, or you’re not nervous because you don’t think you can do it.
"I thought about that as soon as we got here, and it played out how it played out.
"Players talk about enjoying it, I’ll enjoy these next couple of days, but I think it’ll be a few years yet and maybe even after I retire for it to sink in.
“You look back on your first one and that’s what you always wanted to do."
Farrimond scored Wigan's first two tries with outstanding individual efforts, before his pinpoint kick led to Junior Nsemba's try shortly after the restart that broke the resistance of Rovers.
It was only his 30th appearance at senior level - and cemented his status as a key figure in an already elite bunch.
“I’m proud we managed to do it how we did it," he said. "You see how much it means, not just to us players but to the fans as well and our families.
“Certainly, we were all looking for our families as we came out for the warm-up.
"That’s massive, it’s the thing we push the most. It’s nice to have the trophies on top of that, but to have your family here watching you do it, that’s huge.
“It’s paying them back for all the stuff they’ve done throughout my career, especially as a little kid. I’m proud I can repay them.”
All in all it wasn't a bad weekend for Farrimond, whose younger brother Austin celebrated his 12th birthday on Sunday.
And family clearly means everything for Farrimond, who insisted he would be back at Leigh Miners Rangers - his community club - on Tuesday evening to coach Austin and the rest of the Under-12s side.
"I help my dad, I have done for a long time, and I really enjoy doing it," he said. "It's not quite as stressful as Matt (Peet, Warriors head coach) has with his job, they all do as they're told...although they are all very honest with you!"
On whether he fancies coaching long term, the 20-year-old said: "I've not really thought about that yet...I'm obviously still young, but it could be something I end up doing.
"I don't know if I'd be able to handle everything like Matt does.
Farrimond also revealed the process behind his first try under the Wembley arch - a set move from a scrum that had clearly been honed on the training ground.
"I kind of panicked when I got over the line, I paused, because I lost where the line was!” he laughed.
"It was obviously nice to get over, it was something we looked at in the week, credit to Tommy and Deacs (Paul Deacon, assistant coach) for coming up with that.”
