They may not even reach warrington's heady heights. After all, wire did win the CC 3 times, was it, during their glory years.

I agree that Castleford under performed but Leeds were fortunate that they did going into the game with a negative attacking game plan and sticking to it. The end result justified the means for that golden generation to complete the set but I'd imagine it was a poor game for any neutrals to watch.

I agree but it was the prefect game plan. it totally nullified cas. whilst not pretty in finals its all about winning.

I agree with this. Its a cup final and you do what you have to if you want to kift the trophy. Pinning us in our own 20 nearly every set worked a treat for Leeds.

Please understand us Cas fans have to enjoy what we have going at moment. Im worried we may do a Huddersfield and drop off in a year or 2 so got to make the most of it while it lasts and if that means bragging a lot then I apologise haha. But like many have said. Its ok bigging ourselves up but if we cant make it count when it happens we will always be the team that were good but bottled it. A little like the current Tottenham team.

50 years from now speaking to my grandkids -
me: You should of seen the Cas team of 2017
Grandson: Why what did they do?
Me: We put the pressure on the big teams but bottled it.

Hope I wont be saying that and we actually win something.

As for tomorrow. Will be much closer than our last meeting. No Benny Roberts possibly no Zak. Can see single digits in it eitherway. Hopefully be a great game to cap the weekend off.

Hardaker's fitness will be interesting if he plays. Wouldn't normally suggest kicking to him but maybe we should test his fitness and his ankle and make him run about.

Famous last words but........surely we can't be as bad as Hull have been today. Good result for us especially their points difference taking a hammering.

If we don't win a trophy, I'd rather it be Cas than anyone else. I was at Wembley in '86 cheering on Beardmore et all. Keeping the derby feel to the fixture is good for both clubs. The style that Powell has them playing is attractive and very watchable. Hope we give you more of a game than the last time.

I agree.
If we don't win it i would much prefer Cas to any of the other contenders. I enjoy watching them play and would like to see Powell's adventurous style of play rewarded. All that said still hoping for the win tomorrow and a steady improvement towards the business end of the season.

All to play for tomorrow if Cas win they will have definate clear water over the Hull at the top and if we win we go level with them .Salford should beat Leigh to keep them in touch

Strange season this. Last week saints looked on their knees and hull won 60 nil. Saints were very good today with real intensity from the start. Hull looked limited ball in hand.
Saw a few weird things today. After the wakey game I went out to my car and on way back the hull players were walking past me under the stand . A cas fan got within a couple of feet of the hull players and was screaming who are you at them and continued to do so whilst walking along side them. The players showed great restraint and ignored him. He repeated the trick to the saints team who also ignored him. At the back was LMS. A hull fan walked up to him and was winding him up and then started feeing his backside and laughing. No reaction. I wondered what would have happened had some joker tried this routine in the old days. I find LMS pretty irritating but he deserves great credit for not knocking him out.

Later on I witnessed a long friendly conversation between sinfield and Brian mac. Weird days indeed
