You're expecting a win? Deary me today BWAHAHAHA. And you're asking if I'm on drugs. Guffaw!

If you're asking do Rhinos fans think we're definitely going to win on Saturday then most will honestly say no.
If you're asking do you think we have a chance of winning - then we do.

Cas are 1/2 at the bookies to win, Leeds 7/4. Leeds given 6 points start on the handicap.

We've won 4 GFs when we've been underdogs. Yes, beating this Castleford team is probably one of the biggest challenges we've had in a GF and on paper we shouldn't win but games are played on grass not paper.

No one expects a Leeds win, is it possible though, yes.

Given you thought Cas would cruise to victory over Saints then who knows how it'll pan out. Might be a straightforward Cas win like so many of the recent games against us but sport throws up strange results.

I don't expect Leeds to lose - I may be wrong but I think in a close contest Leeds' style of grind it out will overcome the more flamboyant Cas left side dynamic. If that can be closed down I am not sure Cas have a lot more. Leeds will not score loads of points but they have shown they can grind a result out in a tight game.

The thing is Cas can also grind it out, the famed razzle dazzle stuff has been minimal in the second half of the season. They also have multiple match winners who can produce a bit of spontaneous magic.

Gale & Roberts v geriatrics mags & little Bob?

Leeds just aren't on Cas level, absurd to claim otherwise.

Interesting to see how Roberts goes on Saturday because he was very poor vs Saints.

Leeds do have a fine history of grinding out big games...here's hoping we can do it again.

Id like to see Leeds force Gale to tackle himself to death next week...like Briers in 2012...I almost felt sorry for him by the end of that game

yes they did a number on Briers that night

I see the GF has brought out the wallopers!

Cas no nothing of the grind!

TBF to them from what I've seen/read since the two finalists were confirmed there has been a good amount of respect from Cas fans wrt to our chances and our record at Old Trafford.

Think several weeks ago when they knew the had a home SF they were a bit over confident that they just had to turn and batter whoever finished 4th but I think that experience of playoff rugby which many warned them about being different did hit home vs Saints. They've realised the playoffs are a different beast to normal league games.

Completely understand people wanting to see a new name on the trophy and a Cas vs Hull final but it was great to see Saints and ourselves show them how hard it is to win one and whilst us two may be way short of those 07-09 years we won't just roll over and hand it to them.

He was in the attacking sense. When he signed for us he was described by pundits in Oz as a "rocks or diamond" type player. We got the rocks Thursday.
