But they are referring to the loyal supporters who give vocal support on the day even when things are not going our way. Contrast this with the list of regular posters on here who seem to get off on spouting streams of regular negative comments the second we under perform in a game. It always has to be someone's fault when errors or mistakes happen.

Some folk are unable to fathom that in sport the players form cannot always be good or that the opposition sometimes play just that bit better or that in a team game getting all the various factors and timings to work like a well oiled machine is very very difficult because they are all human, and humans in all spheres regularly make mistakes and are not constantly at the top of their game.

No Dixon, Shenton, Webster, Dorn, Sneyd or Clark. Huby and Millington injured and Carney completes his suspension.

Warrington have named all 17 who played against us in their 19 so can only see this going one way. Wonder what those on here who said Leeds losing to Bradford and not going into the semi with a positive win under our belts was a bad thing feel about what is likely to happen on Friday to Cas.

No surprises there except perhaps that Andy Lynch isn't rested.
But he may not play or may not play long minutes.
He's their JP.

anyone else a bit excited to be there when 70 odd thousand people start screaming out "yorkshire! yorkshire! yorkshire!"
very excited!

Its just you, it's all about Leeds this one.

Or in my case....Castleford Tigers.

Basically, everyone on here bar one (who is known to be a little jocular in his posting...) or two are talking about a close game against a very good Cas side, that could go either way.

Yet you choose to focus on the one or two exceptions. What's that all about?

The pressure is gonna get to Leeds and cas will be right in your faces from the first whistle. Your gonna get rattled and beaten in the last 20 mins of the game

Regardless who wins at least the winners will be from Yorkshire. It's been dominated by Lancashire clubs in recent times.
The last Yorkshire club to win the Cup was Hull in 2005.
In the SL era (18 seasons) the Cup has only been won 5 times by Yorkshire clubs (Sheffield, Leeds, Bradford twice & Hull).
In the last 30 seasons it's only been won 7 times by Yorkshire clubs (Cas 85/86 & Fax 86/87).

I can't wait.
Some fantastic players on show from both sides, both teams with massive motivation to win (Leeds because they keep losing the final and Cas because we never get there!), two sets of passionate fans and the opportunity to show the world how good two West Yorkshire clubs are.
Bring it on.
