Maybe he's like a few more of us who see the play offs and Grand Final as the worst system anyone could choose to produce the Champions. Most of the seasons games are still meaningless.

I bet you the response will be "but everyone knew it at the start of the season".

i don't care what anyone says, and if Cas fans (or others) don't like it, tough . the LLS is one of 3 trophies available and it is worth winning, but the Challenge Cup is bigger and the Grand final is the pinnacle. will the Cas fans and Powell be saying the LLs is more important than the grand final if they go on and win it, will they say we don't want it we've got the LLs. will they bolllox, they are just edging their bets and getting their excuses in early in case they can't do it.

when Leeds one our first LLs in 2004 i really wasn't too fussed as it was only half the job. it meant absolutely nothing and would be little consultation if we had not gone to old Trafford and won the grand final. the ecstasy when mcguire scored the clinching try will forever be with me. never got that with a challenge cup or lls, and it has been the same with every GF win since.

the last one in 2015 was great, mainly due to the stunning end last move in last ten seconds on of last game and one it, it also meant the treble was on, but if we lost at Huddersfield and won at old trafford then that game at Huddersfield would have been quickly forgot.

Grand final is here to stay anf 70k every year will testify to that.

You do realise the Cas Tigers have never won the LLS or finished top of the league in our 91 year history don't you ?

You've answered your own question. It's the treble. Every trophy available. It's the least important of the three but you have to win it to win the treble.

Really well who'd have thought it, no ones mentioned it.

I think people get that, they just don't agree it should be the case

CC Is great if won the right way. You can get to Wembley winning against lower league opposition like Leeds nearly did.

The LLS shows which team has been the best throughout the season and for a little town in Wakey called Castleford this is a big thing after what we have been through in the last 15 years.

Yes we understand the Grand Final is the number 1 aim and that's what we will go for now but there is no reason after winning the shield we should not celebrate our first major trophy!!
As well as that we will host an NRL team down lane.
As well as that we win £100,000

For the club of Castleford this is huge. Just like it would be Wakey, Salford or any other lower club.

No surprise to see supporters of Cas's bitch pouring scorn on what is a fantastic achievement.

They've dined out on the treble for 2 years, but it's now been downgraded to a double and a token piece of tin.

They don't have to agree, but fact is champions are decided by the grand final, and if some people don't like it, that's tough. Because the day The RFL go back to first past the post and scrap the grand final, will be the end of RL.

Wasn't aware anyone was poring scorn, but the fact is cas fans seem to want the rules changing to suit them, and suddenly want to be declared champions and been singing championies and their coach declaring that the LLS is more important than the GF.
Plus it was only about a month ago cas fans wanted the LLS after the 23 rounds not after the super 8's

Cas fans are so jealous and bitter themselves and have such an inferiority complex that even when they have won a trophy they still have to have a op at Leeds and like to play the victim and the little old town violin, even sky got in on it with the town of only 40k complete petly forgetting the Castleford catchment area included pontefract normanton knottingley allerton bywater kippax and is around 150k

Oh by the way we don't dine out on the treble we dine out on our dominance of the grand final era.
