| If we win tomorrow it won't be official but Leeds will no longer be able to go above us due to our PD.....
So even though the Sky team won't say it's officially won.... Expect Cas fans to be going crazy if we win tomorrow.

Rightly so.
It's a great achievement, it's just a crying shame that winning the C.C. gets more kudos these days.

Did Andy Murray go crazy when he secured the No.1 seeding for Wimbledon this year?

Finishing top of the table after a season is hardly the same as being the #1 seed in a tournament.

| Exactly. Ridiculous comparison.
However, Andy Murray finishing as the year end world number 1 was one of his greatest achievements.

Murray earned his seeding by being the most consistent player and accumulating the most points in the year leading up to it. It is a very good achievement in it's own right, as is what Cas have done. However what both achievements have in common is that they were both just essentially jostling for position ahead of the big prize. People won't remember that Murray went into Wimbledon ranked number one. They will however remember Federer winning the tournament.

and obviously winning Wimbledon alone makes Federer the world's best player?

It's not that weird really, is it ?
Cas and Huddersfield have won very little for a long time and therefore any glory is magnified.
It's like Wigan in the 80's & 90's they won the cup every year, it's just how it was.
They got just as many column inches when they failed to make the final.
The achievement of winning the GF is just as big whoever wins but, expectation can reduce the impact of the win.

| Can't believe these comparisons to tennis. There is also the small issue of the 100K prize money for finishing first and the LLS. Not too shabby I would say.

Yet a CC final can be worth £250k
which one is more rewarding depends on who you support i guess
Great to see cas wrap it up next week hopefully gives us more breathing space
After that it's a whole new ball game with the semis'

| Great result for Hull KR against Leigh.
Bad news for Catalans who are in real danger of the MPG.
