Congrats, I have a grudging respect for Leeds and that performance when it mattered certainly deserved respect.

In fairness to doom mongers some of the things BMD has said in interviews the last few days show him agreeing with many of their "negative" performance assessments of Leeds this year. For example "so far away from the Grand Final we were on the moon".
It would be interesting to hear an honest summing up of the last two seasons from him - something as a leader he can't do publicly and I wouldn't expect him to.

Just to add a little balance, it's very hard to remain a credible poster when you have been crying about the squad being "finished" for the last 10 years, and supply a constant supply of rumours about how f*******d the club is. Equally the same applies to the t*rd polishers, who try to justify terrible on field form and average recruiting (hookers are real and we needed one last year - one poster needs to shut the f*** up baiting everyone after his attempt to convince us all last season that the position simply didn't exist).

The win yesterday doesn't justify every opinion of some and disqualify all the opinions of others. It's just a great result for all Leeds fans.

I've seen comments on Twitter that it was the worst GF in 20 years, and a guy on the bus home who watched it in the pub said the same. I put that down to our defence. This team knows you don't need to win the game by half time. Cas got no time on the ball and we scrambled as well as you'll see. Gale couldn't have been fully fit and we have him no time. On the back of that we broke their resolve and scored some nice tries.

Much like when we beat them at Wembley, our tactics were spot on. Don't get an extra trophy for winning pretty or winning a classic.Credit where it's due, we'll done Brian McDermott.

I do expect Cas to be stronger next year on the back of defeat.

Finally, it's been an honour to watch this team and their character. We've been spoilt over the last 14 years and last night felt like the end of an era

fail again.

See you sometime next year Billy, look forward to your new username

I ate humble pie for breakfast. Tasted great!

Well done to the whole team. Outstanding stuff.

The moment I started to be really confident was in the last minute of the first half. The ball went out for a Leeds scrum. The Leeds players rushed to form it to stop the clock. They wanted that last set of six. They didn't look to rest on their existing lead. In that set, Danny Mags kicked the first of his dg's. At the half tine hooter, the players did something I've loved since it began in Tony Smith's era. They gathered together and, as a team, jogged past the walking Cas team.

There was a scrum several minutes earlier when we kicked into touch down there end and I noticed some of the Cas forwards really struggling to make it back to form the scrum. Was then I thought we might have them here, they looked tired and we haven't even reached HT.

Maybe some (not all) of the cocky classy cas fans will now understand the true power of the dark side of the force. Winning poxy league games against your rivals doesn't mean it'll be a cakewalk when the title is on the line.

Where was luke gales 'post try cat walk strut'? There's been a real air of cocky confident swagger about them all season.

For 66-10 you get sod all.

For 24-6 we get a super league title.

This

When Cas had a try disallowed in the first half by the VR, Gale (preparing for a conversion) just threw a towel down and diva spin in a real hissy fit that Wilkin would've been proud of on GF night.

As for Cas' winning run against us, to twist a Meatloaf song

"Now don't be saddddd, because 8 out of 9 ain't bad!"

Very special performance by a group of players led by a man who has the most strong minded determination I’ve ever seen.

Well done Brian and the boys.

Tremendous performance from the full squad who were once again so well prepared and motivated by Mac with a winning game plan. Leeds dominated from start to finish with McGuire outstanding Moon not far behind with Ward.

Moon’s centre play for Briscoe’s 2nd try was class and right in front of our seats was worth the flight over on its own

It was but the pass was a mile forward and i know that for a fact as we were also sat in that corner.

What a way for to legends to bow out of squad and what a to end the season for a great group of players and a great club only three things left to say now, MOT ALAW CHAMPIONES!!!!!!!!!!

I have now got to question the idea of having the man of steel award before the season ends.
Gale is MOS but McGuire is worth far more to Leeds than Gale was to Cas this year. A great big silver trophy shows that.

It was decided a few weeks ago but ask everyone now who was the most influential player that helped a club achieve something this year and it should be McGuire. Yes Gale helped Cas have their best season in decades but their hubcap win will be forgotten just like when Hudds won it. Unfortunately for Cas the top prize is the GF followed by Wembly.

All awards should wait till next week as the final game of the season really does matter.

I think it'd still go to Gale for the season if awarded after the GF......although Hardaker might not be in the top 3 anymore
