Well done Leeds you fully deserved your win. Cas didn't play badly but they couldn't cope with the Leeds machine.

So now it is " wet sponge time"! If you want to know what that means just ask loiner 81.

Congratulations on been 2014 Challenge Cup Winners. No-one can say it wasn't deserved and the best team on the day won. Bet there are some sore heads today lol

Ive not sobered up yet for the sore head to kick in,......reckon about tea time tomorrow after the homecoming, I may start suffering!

I too didn't see any trouble but on the way home yesterday we called in at Donnington services and the lad that worked at WH Smiths was telling us that the police were called out on Saturday evening after a Cas fan smacked a Leeds supporter, completely unprovoked.

Just outside the entrance to the services there was what seemed to be blood stains on the floor.

Does anyone know any more?

I didnt see any. But 80000 people there will always be afew bell ends

To the left of the tunnel there was a large group in yellow t-shirts and some of them were kicking off about 5 minutes from F/T saw the stewards wade in etc but other than the odd "we all hate Leeds s#*m" on the way to the game had some good banter with the Cas lot.

Probably Leeds United fans as well

Thought this was a key issue. Can't imagine it was in Powell's plans to sub Sneyd during the first half but he must've felt like he had to.

The nullifying of the Clark threat was probably the best planning for an individual opponent since what we did to Big Les in the 2004 GF. However you can still see he's going to go on to big things. Sneyd on the other hand, with a move to Hull next year.....will be interesting to see if he's going to be just a one year hit.

Would agree with all that, including the bit on Sneyd. Could well be that he found his niche with Cas, but may not be able to replicate it with the Airlie Birds.

Yes good post Zimmerman and some good points put in there.
As I said previously maybe it was OTT to say people should be ashamed of themselves for touting Clark as MOS.
I was eluding to the fact that for me JP should walk it this year with no real opposition to take it away from him this time like they did before.
I also stated that Clark is the best hooker in SL which should go some way into proving I have every respect for the player and would be the icing on the cake if we had him.
Maybe your coach got his tactics wrong on Saturday and should have spared Clark so he could get the impact he needs.
I was amazed he took Sneyd off but must have had his reasons for that too.
So to recap Clark is pure class and is a joy to watch, And JP for MOS
Friends now?

Happy to congratulate the best team on the day. That's what it's all about. Sticking to the game plan, defending like your life depends on it, supporting your mates, being composed and ruthless in attack. I just wish Hull FC could do that more than once in a blue moon.

Well done Leeds
