How they're playing now means nowt. 2005 anyone? If they do win it, fair play. If we win it with a "lesser" team, even fairer play.

They play at Magic every year and have a pretty good record (a lot of matches vs Wakey TBF) so I don't think the ground will be an issue.....the atmosphere with fans all mixed in etc. doesn't put it in the same bracket as Wembley and Old Trafford. Although for the first time they are in one of the headline final games of the day so a little difference there I suppose.

We've got plenty of experience in big grounds but we've underperformed at Magic for a while and I think it's because we don't treat it like a big occasion. That's what we need to change this year in our approach, should go there like we're playing in a playoff or cup game, that's definitely the sense you got for Wigan's performances against us over the years. I'm hoping that part of the reason we've underperformed against Hudds and Catalans is that we've had half an eye on and been focusing on this fixture instead and looking to peak for it. It wouldn't be the first time we've looked poor before a big game and then been clinical come the big game if it were to happen.

yes, if they have 'happy hour' in his local pub he would be asked to leave ! never seen a guy look so miserable

Galloway up before the beak for striking, grade A EGP available so should be free to play on Sunday.

Rangi Chase has gone on loan to Widnes for the rest of the season and won't be offered a new contract by Cas when his deal ends this season.

Good move by Cas, don't need him, they've been forcing him on from the bench lately and it didn't really work as well as the obvious off field troublesome distraction factor.

And NO we shouldn't sign him next season.

Galloway has been good since his return. For a big fella, he's got an engine.

Rangi...on his day unplayable......those days are few and far unfortunately. Could have been.

What exactly does striking mean in this case?

Didn't have many problems over turning a 14-0 deficit against last year's league leaders at the very same ground ....

Chill.....you are this seasons benchmark. When playing at the top of their game Cas have looked fantastic....a pleasure to watch. We on the other hand are very hit and miss. A favourable route to the QF of the CC and some good and bad performances in SL would suggest a comfortable victory for Cas at MM. But we do have some history of upsetting the apple cart. Don't have a go at us for clutching at that particular straw.

Should be a good game on Sunday. Leeds have looked better in attack since Moon moved to 6. Parcell is a good hooker and Cuthburtson is top draw I do wonder about the quality of your kicking game in a tight game / show piece occasion . Moon isn't that sort of player and I've never rated Mcguire on that front. That said , Leeds have been on a good run since the demolition at Cas which ironically spring boarded your season somewhat.

I know what it sounds like but that probably the most depleted we've gone into a game all season, which is looking like the worst fixture to be depleted for.

Should have (providing no late injury issues midweek) Galloway, Garbutt, Ferres, Ward, JJB and Burrow all in the team that didn't play at Cas (those first 5 probably all in the starting 13). That's a full starting pack there along with Moon and Sutcliffe swapping positions since then which has changed things a lot.

First off they won one more game than us...true they are only 2 points ahead of us but they also scored 27 more tries than us or there is a 137 difference in total number of points they scored...at the moment they conceded less tries than us. Mind I was surprised they made more errors than us. So in those terms they are ahead of us.

They seem more consistent in their performance, they play an exciting kind of rugby ,from what I have seen they do not seem to drop off during matches. Powell seems to have installed a confidence in them...their loss against Hull FC was worse than the previous week when they lost to Saints as they had a man advantage. However they seemed to be back on form. Your right though they not won trophies yet which is why after Cas defeat I felt it premature people saying he should replace Mac...even if they won just the one trophy I would be sceptical of a return to him.

Returning to Sunday, we have played some exciting rugby ,even parts of yesterdays match against a League 1 side there were passages of play I enjoyed watching. However we have to get out of the habit of switching off for periods which has happened in most matches. On paper we have a enough of the players from treble winning side to say not to mention those that won multiple trophies who can use this experience to win the match..not just by a short margin but comfortably ...There has been on the whole a vast improvement from last season ..things starting to turn ,it's getting exciting to watch them but but still get feeling their confidence or belief is not at its highest..need to eliminate 2016 mentality completely...If we cut down errors , penalties ..come out running from off ..then this could be a great contest...I would also hope it will give us the springboard to ascend the top of the table ..starting with breaking Wire...A warning letter from GH before the match might not go amiss...defeat is not an option. For the record I like the style Cas play, Salford not bad either but won't lie I want to see another era of Leeds domination..this time complete.
