| Cheers DetroitSoul! Was a pleasure to see your fantastic stadium for the first time the other week.
It could well be mind games as such - I can't see anything that would come as a major surprise tactically as a "bluff," as it were - the Leeds side does pick itself for me. Other than shuffling Kevin Sinfield to hooker, Burrow in the halves, or possibly starting Aiton and giving Burrow impact off the bench, I can't see any real deviations from that side.
Essentially Cas know they have a mammoth task in front of them - regardless what position they play, Sinfield, Peacock, Burrow et al will take some beating. Cas can only focus on their own game.
I think the only doubt for us will be the Huby situation. For me, the team that plays will be very close to the semi team, with the only additions probably being Carney and Hauraki. Really not sure who misses out if this is the case, Carvell is a big game experienced prop and would seem to be a good player to have in the squad for a game like this. However, Wheeldon has done really well for us, and Jewitt is ever impressive, Massey has a bit more speed and mobility - DP has some tricky choices to make.

| Quote: PopTart "Ooh let's try and get the Cas fans on side by having a go at their nearest local rivals. MP is just one guy. Most Wakefield supporters were happy for Cas (within reason) and were supporting them over Leeds.
Maybe they are just miserable when they meet you? Who knows.
Amyway, great effort Cas. Pity it didn't work out but you weren't shown up like some have been.
Must push on to the playoffs now and not be too down hearted. You could be second by the playoffs and a trip to Old Trafford is not out of the question. Make it a big year.'"
Calm down, dear. No, they are just miserable. Its living in Wakey that does it !

| Hard luck. You were unlucky to meet a Leeds team in full winning mode and I feel sure on the day no other SL side would have done any better. Your team and coach are a credit to the game and I really do hope we could meet again in the Grand Final this year.

| Not all Wakefield fans wanted Cas to loose and to band everyone together isn't fair.
I wanted Cas to win, a team without the clout moneywise of the big teams winning was good for the game. I think it would have been good for the form and work this year to account for some silverwear.
You didn't win but you got to go to Wembley and support your team. I just thought Leeds tactic were spot on the controlled the ruck and the speed and just looked to have more size and energy. I can't remember Clarke running from dummy half and this was due to the control they had. I've not seen as many games as the Cas fans but to me Snyed looks a different player since he has signed for Hull, he just seems to have lost a lot of what he had.
Good luck from a support of the other team from the district.
