Last Saturday night he was named Coach of the Year as the TAFL held the Tony Gillies Medal Count and Presentation Awards.
Now he is preparing to lead the Bulldogs into battle as they take part in finals action for the first time in five years.
The stage is set for the third-placed Inverell Saints to host the fourth-placed Bulldogs, with the winner to go on to meet the loser of the Tamworth Kangaroos and New England Nomads major semi at Bellevue Oval Armidale.
Gunnedah lost 20-21-141 to 10-6-66 against Inverell at Varley Oval back in round five, before the Saints also won the rematch as they scored 18-11-119 to Gunnedah’s 10-8-68 at Wolseley Park in round 12.
The third time the teams met this year however was vastly different, with Gunnedah winning 12-17-89 to 10-14-74 at Varley Oval.
Piggott and the Bulldogs are taking plenty from that win into this weekend.
