Tough old game, Leeds showed their nous.

Why must Eddie continually call Ward, Stevie Ward?

Jamie Peacock did 80 minutes tonight. Im becoming more and more convinced that he is infact not human.

Tough, gritty arm wrestle. Leeds played the conditions better, few too many errors in the second half from cas.

Definitly top 5 if they don't suffer too many injuries.

80 good minutes as well. He is unbelievable, the more you ask of him, the more he seems to have.

Most players talk about going to the well, that guy must have his own water table

Thaler and Ganson in the same place must surely of met the criteria for a pre- emptive missile strike

The ruling about stepping over the dead line and it being a 20m restart when the ball is still moving is farcical, I thought it was only if the ball stopped completely dead you were allowed to do this?!

Peacock is a machine and should've gone to the last WC, how this inclusion might have affected his performances now i'm not sure but he is incredible.

Retiring from England duty has been massive for Peacock, before that he was struggling at times.

Surprised one or two or the over 30's didn't follow suit after the WC..... Sinfield, O'Loughlin, Westwood.

Leeds forced our errors by allowing us no field position. Just robotic, complete set after set and at best we start on our own line. Superb from Leeds but proud how we showed resolve in not letting Leeds finish us off when they had all the ball last 10.

And yet more inconsistency with the obstruction ruling tonight too.

Well done Loiners.

Nip and tuck first half but Leeds' experience showed - they managed that game in the second half superbly well.

Sinfield's kick from the ptb on the Cas line was a masterstroke of game management; you'd have to be a ninja to take that ball cleanly, and yet you have to go for it. Lovely stuff.

If either of those try's had been called back for shentons poor attempt at milking penalties it would have been a joke.

The most disappointing thing regarding those is that we had to go to the video referee. Seems all a defender has to do nowadays is run over to the ref after a try and say "ref I was obstructed" and he'll go to the screen. (ALL teams are doing BTW before anyone starts).

I saw no problem with any of the obstruction rulings tonight.

Castleford could possibly be aggrieved with the penalty they conceded early in the second half, but if Tansey (I think) didn't put himself in the same hole as Sneyd, there'd of been no doubt.

Gareth Ellis has also been outstanding this year after retiring from internationals and focusing on a full solid pre season.

On Peacock, I love him. Unbelievable athlete. If I ever see another player like him in my lifetime then I've been lucky.
