My view was based on the Cas fans who post on here & those I know. I don't do any other websites or social media so have not seen an alternative view. Even though a good majority of Cas fans on Clearwing's link predict a Cas victory i wouldn't call it an expected procession. As regards the players, i think they had started to lose their self belief before the semi, which we were lucky to win. The Zak issue exacerbated the doubts in their minds, together with a crap Cas & an excellent Leeds start put the nails in the coffin. I think Powell & the team have handled this season much better, though i am never confident going to Wigan.

I am relieved you live & associate with more intellectual types however.

Haha cheers mate. I've got a car so hopefully the local chavs will leave it alone.

I don’t get why he’s still starting parcell off the bench given the lack of structure and direction in the team. Good to see Walters out though.

Nice to see they've rewarded Ferris's mediocrity with the skippers arm band...

Hope it's not as bad as the Wigan v Warrington game...

Can’t believe only four up. Absolutely hammered them, but just do not execute. We have the crappest stand off in the history of stand offs, and yet 2nd week running he comes up with a break to make the difference.

Moon looks awesome, and every time we go left we look dangerous. Walker looks very good tonight. Parcell very good, and the introduction of Smith and Cuthbertson has stepped us up.

Should be furtger ahead but at least were ahead, moon, parcell, crosby and Walker looking good.

Could either go on to give them a good hiding but i fear our failure to put points on the board will bite us.

Defence at least looks better but Salford are no great shaked without Hastings

Another important win, even if it did sound scrappy! Phew!

Well Sutcliffe won us that with his pass to briscoe and the kick at the end, should never have been that close though we tried our best to lose it

Im going to leave 5 minutes before the end of every tight game seems to work

I agree. He is literally the crappest of players, yet two moments won us the game. That pass was very good. Yet all the other times he just hold the ball.

That was arguably, in terms of possession and territory, our most dominant performance of the year, and yet we need a very lucky last minute penalty to win.

Parcell outstanding, Walker and Moon very good, Myler excellent second half, and I really do like Crosby. I would definitely give Crosby a deal.

Thompson looked really poor, along with a couple others, and god help us if Luke Briscoe is really what we go with next year.

Let’s just get this season over.

I think Sutcliffe would be better as a centre, hes clearly not a 6.

I agree about Crosby, I would definitely keep him too.

Myler was very good 2nd half but he needs a decent 6 hopefully tge new signing will help!

I think were safe now as we should be able to get past Halifax, we would have lost tgat game a month or so ago our defence seems to have improved, Just hope we can go into the game against Toronto safe I really want to be able to try and enjoy a game for once.

Salford need to try keep Hastings otherwise they will struggle next season.

Crosby really lmpressed tonight and is worth a contract for next season. I wouldn't imagine he would be amongst the highest earners and could be a regular in the 17. If we can get Garbutt fit, having him and Crosby in the 17 would help our go forward no end. I appreciate that he has only played a handful of games against poorer opposition but the signs are good.
Once again Sutcliffe comes in for plenty of criticism while Myler is described as excellent. I agree he improved in the 2nd half and played quite well, but that stood out because of how poor he is the rest of the time. We had numerous tackles on Salfords line in the 1st half, most of it one out rubbish. His lack of ability to organise and create play is shocking at times. It was a good job he was awarded the penalty at the end because that was another set of 6 heading nowhere.
Sutcliffe is not a 6 I agree. He hangs onto the ball far too often but we scored 3 tries tonight and he created 2 of them.

I think it says a lot about how this Leeds team is that you only just managed to scrape a win against a Salford team that can only play with Hastings in it. Not forgetting, Sa'u, Nakubuwei, Burgess & Mossop were all missing and we started with Ryan Lannon at prop and bombed 2 or 3 tries in the last 15-20 minutes.

If we're going to struggle, god forbid how the mighty Leeds will cope without Joel Moon and James Child playing for you every week next season.
