That Stevie Ward must be the unluckiest player ever. missing out on an England jersey is the biggest disappointment as a rugby league fan.

"Cas fans"

So you're implying every fan of Castleford believe that it's going to be easy and we'll pick up the trophy? Do you also believe everything you read from a very small subset of people? I highly doubt it.

Ask the majority of fans and you'll probably soon find out that nobody thinks it's going to be a walk over or an easy match. Yes I'm more confident playing Leeds than Hull but that's purely down to previous games against both sets of opposition. That said it's a final and anything could happen - and probably will do.

Anyway congratulations on tonight. Should be a great game next week.

Disagree with you pal, Sutcliffe hit the match winning try tonight, I think he's one of your most dangerous players and needs to be in your 13. I think you've got a tough task in beating Cas, and he's one of your players who just might have the x factor.

Don't talk wet. The majority who know RL know it will be a damn close games and the meetings that have gone before count for nuttin. I'm more confident then what I was for the 2014 cup final but I know we will have to play a damn sight better then we did Thursday night to win.

Not this Cas fan. For a couple of reasons, we are now playing the most experienced team in Grand finals. The build up routine to the kick off is second nature to your club.

Also you have got better as the season as gone on. We are slowly going in reverse, yes winning games but I wouldn't be shocked if you turned us over next Saturday.

Getting worked up about whats on social media is never a good idea

"us Cas fans" are very wary of what you have been doing over the last couple of months - building momentum - ensuring that you finish up at home in the playoffs - gathering speed towards the business end. Who has the advantage now? How many times have you folks been in this situation....
How many times have we?

One off game.
What's gone before is irrelevant

That's how they've been all season and why I would have wanted Hull or Saints to beat them if we hadn't made it.

If you want to see the worst of any clubs “supporters” then head to Facebook and you wont be disappointed.any normal cas fan is far from over confident and knows we have got to improve on our form of late against an improving side that’s been there and done it.im sure bookies will have us as favourites with what’s gone before this season but I think it’s a 50/50 game.so may the best team win and hopefully that’s us

That is a tragedy for him and the team. All the great players of this generation have missed final through injury or non selection so hopefully they can support him

One thing that is often overlooked is the McDermott factor. Love him or hate him in a one off his game plans/management have been second to none
Whilst I think Cas will benefit from the last game I don't think they are the force they were earlier in the season. This will only be close because Leeds tend to grind wins out these days

Brilliant game to look forward to.

Local rivalry,best team all season against the best team in grand finals...Recent form suggests we'r going to struggle, for me the key for us is being within 8 points of them going into the last 20,if we can do that or better then id like our chances. Losing stevie ward is a massive blow for us, maybe ferres can put his leeds career to date behind him and have his best game for us in the one that counts. Win or lose, massive well done to brian and the lads for getting to another one, it looked highly unlikely coming into the season.

Happy for darryl powell that he's in the grand final, always had a lot of time for him dating back to his playing days for us. He's done an amazing job at cas when you look at where they were when he got there, theyr a quality team, playing some lovely stuff. Id love to see darryl back at headingly at some point, Best coach in the league by a country mile for mine (holbrook looks quality but too small of a sample size so far) . Just hope we can find a way to spoil darryls night on saturday.

Happy for cas as a club and there fans aswel, they've been through some hard times but have worked hard to get through them, theyv had no shortcuts with no wealthy owners throwing money at it like some clubs have had the luxury of doing and here they are, best team all season and worthy grand finalists.

Really dont like luke gale though,great player but a cocky sod.

Really cant believe we'r here again,another grand final with another chance to send club legends out on a high. Theres somthing special about our club imo.

Safe and enjoyable weekend to everyone from both sides going next week. Hopefully the games a cracker.

Great post matt , previous meetings count for nothing now. 1st v 2nd with a local rivalry to boot. Your forwards were fantastic last night and if we don't stop the go forward of Singleton and co , Parcell could have a field day from dummy half. May the best team win , hopefully all fans from every club can have a beer and a chat together .Safe trip to all fans making the journey , should be a cracker.

Quick one...anyone tell me which end of OT we have this year?

Back in the usual East Stand this year. Cas have the Stretford End (end near the tunnel)
