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

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.

That’s exactly why I’m backing him for harry Sunderland trophy on Saturday he won’t be that bad 2 weeks running.

So these scarves are mythical then are they???

It wasn't selling them !!!!! It was some foo on a street cornerl trying to make money selling fake merchandise. Plus it wasn't assuming we were gunna win at OT it was on the back of winning the LLS. Which as anyone who knows the game doesn't make you champions. But when you're out to make money it doesn't matter. Either way it isn't official merchandise.

The suggestion is that Castleford RLFC are selling scarves calling themselves Champions, which is obviously bololcks. It’s like me accusing Gary Hetherington of being racist because a few Leeds morons sing offensive songs about Bradford’s Asian population outside Bretts chippy.

Cas are clear favourites and deservedly so. But it's a two-horse race and Leeds aren't some also rans...for a start we've been significantly better than saints over the season and saints [ishould[/i have won last Thursday*

*I'm not basing this on some wild speculation just pure fact, Cas would have lost if not for one of the stupidest, softest and most needless penalties you'll ever see in the last minute. The final play kick by Cas was awful, Barba had it covered in his sleep and there was no chance in hell of the obstructed Cas player getting anywhere near the ball.

Leeds are 7/4 which is where my money will be going. It's an unreal feeling, Cas being clear favourites in a GF.

The thing I like best about this is that we have been here before and come out the right side more than any other club in SL history, but the club we are playing from top to bottom including the fans bar Hardaker (who despite being a great player is at best a total f*ckwit) have no idea what they are walking into.

Massive favourites makes it even better.

oh I would leave racism out of it if I was you otherwise there maybe allegations of anti-Semitism

Ah how I remember the Cas fans at school chanting Jews at us Leeds fans.
