Even for Grixy that one against Saints was something special.

Tbf to him though he's been excellent all year and the brain farts were kept down to an absolute minimum, except for the monster aganst saints.

I just popped onto the casforum (the independent, don't want off comers posting one) and found this gem of a thread starter.



ah bless The thread continues in a similar vane.

The win just keeps getting better

That forum is hilarious.

Some of the pettiness and outright hatred over nothing is breathtaking.

There’s one or two sane posters fighting against the tide but massively outnumbered by an entire legion of grade a whoppers.

their silly attitude in the build up to this GF was by worse than we saw from Saints fans in 2008 .they actually thought they wee invincible

I’m surprised there’s so many still out on the bakers indy site. Most of them have crawled back under their rocks.

Nigel Hawkins on twitter is very special.

Not the sharpest tool in the box that one. But a large tool nonetheless

Ahh the guy who upon hearing Ward was declared fit to play urged the Cas players to "smash that c**t" and that Ward was "bang average"

He's a fu****g tit that bloke...The end

Let's head back a prior 9 years from that game to the 10th October 2003 - the last tackle of the 2003 season for Leeds versus Wigan at Headingley. Sinfield made a break on the back of a Senior/Cummings break leaving Wigan flocking back in numbers but many offside. Rob Burrow at the dummy half throws the ball to Dunneman and via a pair or two hands later Mathers is tackled on the blind side giving victory to Wigan and them a path to the Grand Final.

If you watch the two instances back, there are many similarities and I strongly believe that Rob will have watched that back and thought if the opportunity arises itself, I will run at an offside defender and get a penalty to put us ahead.

The gift of experience.

While it wasn't a classic game it was by no means the worse GF of all time.
The fact Cas didn't turn up and McGuire was sublime made it a reasonable GF.

To be fair it was a hell of a purple patch, almost (key word) a season long in fact. But they will have learnt from it and [sizeIf [/sizethey can fill the gap left by the coke kid, they'll be there or there abouts next season.

It's going to be really tough to get a quality starting FB at this point of the year as they'll all be signed up. They still don't have the financial power to sign top established players and most likely why they couldn't pull off the Walmsley deal and are getting in guys like Garry Lol and Aston now being rumoured.

Whilst most don't rate him there I think we'll see Eden at FB next year, after all that looked like their original plan before Hardaker became available and they'll play Lo on the wing instead of loaning him back to Sheffield.
