I know that that was a big loss and a bad performance but people seem to be taking it extra bad.
Our loss to Hull KR was more embarrassing than this but the reaction on here wasnt as bad imo.
I know Cas like to think this is a big derby, but I would much rather beat Wigan or Saints than Cas
For me the only proper derby rivalry Leeds have is with Bradford, but am I in the minority thinking this?

Your post is irrelevant. You've just been slam dunked by an injury ravaged Cas side at home. Haven't won an away game since September and lay at the foot of the league. There's probably a bigger reaction on here tonight then the kr game because it's 6 weeks further along and results are not improving . Who you'd rather beat means sod all right now old cock.

I was brought up on Cas being the biggest derby, Bradford were pretty dire in the 80s (not that we were great) and meant nothing to me really until they turned into the Bulls mid 90s.

No way that the Hull KR performance was more embarrassing, i mean, live on TV in a stand alone fixture having 50 points rammed down your throat by your local rivals at Home...doesn't get much worse really.

Touched an nerve?

Just wanna know if other Leeds fans are bothered particularly about Cas cos I for one am not, some people on here seemed to be particularly annoyed.

Annoyed with Leeds but not any moreso than usual - Castleford were fantastic, if they had finished all that they started it could have been seventy +. Glad the match was televised allowing those fans unable to get there (well done to those that made it) the opportunity to witness an historic night.

Hull KR were still going to finish bottom (lost their next game 0-40 V Les Catalans), some Leeds fans were still happy to accept the BS lines about loss of 1st choice training, Leeds injuries being worse than any other sporting team since the big bang (but they'd all be back) and how top 4 was still the realistic target - while they themselves were discussing whether they'd rather win the Challenge Cup or finish in the top 8, seemingly oblivious to the on-field performances which appeared likely to deny any such choice.

Perhaps now they've awoken to what is actually being served up out there.

Just proves you only been watching them since Leeds was winning things we was the your main Derby going back years and years glory fans don't you just them .

He forgot to slag Chris Sandow off during this distraction post, moaning get.

As others have said, to a certain generation (mine) the main local derby is Cas not Bradford. To another generation it'll be Hunslet.

However last night's loss wasn't particularly bad because it was Cas, it was particularly bad because it was bad.

Yer it's all about who is beating you rather than the fact that everyone is beating you.
Good to see a lot of sensible Leeds posters but the OP is nearly as embarrassing as the defeat he doesn't think is important.

Like others have said it depends on your age. Some young ones will start to see Cas as the biggest derby

I just see them as a small side. Can see why it means a lot to their fans, coming to the big city with the tall buildings and nice looking women.

Yes.

The true Leeds supporters will be taking it extra bad, which from the contents of your post does not include you.
You should be careful what you wish for, a Leeds Bradford derby might be neare than you could have imagined.

Our performance was woeful , the defence truly shocking,never the less full credit to castleford . They play good rugby Powell is a decent and honest coach. The squad of players they have seem up for the challenge. Contrast that with the looks on our players faces.
We are in free fall , one would assume we will eventually win a game.

Exactly. When hull kr spanked us a few week ago. I didn't think "ah Im not bothered as I don't consider kr a rival to us and would much rather we beat wigan and wakey". A bizarre mentality from someone who know doubt got involved during the golden generation!
