The team\u2019s coach journey back from Manchester, the homecoming parade at Hull City<\/a> Hall, and 24 hours in Portugal – Joe Burgess enjoyed three unforgettable days of celebrations before reporting to England duty after earning his first recall in 10 years.<\/p>\n For Burgess and his team-mates, these were moments they\u2019ll never forget. The East Hull heroes enjoyed an open-top bus parade from their Craven Park HQ to the City Hall balcony, greeted by a sea of red and white supporters after their Grand Final triumph to complete the treble.<\/p>\n \u201cThe coach back from Manchester was one of the best times I\u2019ve ever had in my life,\u201d said the winger, who ended his own Grand Final hoodoo with a win on the fifth attempt.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was even better than the Wembley one – it was unreal. It was what we deserved. We earned the right to party all weekend, and party we did.\u201d<\/p>\n Amid the celebrations, Burgess revealed he had missed a call from England head coach Shaun Wane – the call that confirmed his return to the international stage after a decade away.<\/p>\n But Burgess smiled: “As soon as he said I was selected, I turned it down a gear – pint, water, pint, water.<\/p>\n \u201cThe parade was unreal. It was even better than Wembley. I think there were twice as many people, or I had double vision – one of the two.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was such a good experience, and showed what it meant to the city and for everyone\u2019s friends and family. It was a great time.\u201d<\/p>\n
