"Look, I'd never use injuries as an excuse..." Daryl Powell:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_23603.jpg

If RL's too complicated, watch football. You obviously like the idea of the league winner being crowned champions but many RL fans - and not just those of Leeds - end up slating their coaches and players for only winning the LLS. Let's be honest, plenty of yours would have sacrificed that record margin - hell, would have happily accepted a fourth-place finish - had you been good enough on the day to lift the real prize.

Even in football its moving towards the top teams focusing on winning the champions league not the premier league.

I like McDermott's comment "I know which team I would rather be coaching now". Is he wanting a gig at Cas Tigers ? icon_lol.gif

"I'm sorry, but I would hope that we would beat Cas with a 1 day turnaround." An arrogant Wigan fan a few days before we stuffed them 18-4 at the JJB.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_42181.jpg

Far better game then your 52% completion rate rabble served up when properly tested last week. a026.gif

A great contest and a great event - something that RL in this country sorely needs more of.

Last night was an example of what I mean when I say that RL doesn't need to keep clamouring for an Eddie Hearn. Leeds didn't do anything particuarly difficult or innovative prior to last night. They simply put on an event and they (and Castleford) made sure that they told as many people about it as possible. All it needed was a bit of money in social media advertising, a bit of money in outdoor media in the right places and a bit of effort in PR - what every marketing department at every club is (or should be) perfectly capable of doing.

I'd like to see this become a regular event, it was a great advert for the game.
I'd also like to see something similar tried with other games. Saints vs Wigan at the Etihad or Anfield perhaps?

Leeds are a far superior side to Cas so it’s quite appropriate they are called the champions

I think until Cas escape the small team mentality they have, they won’t win anything. It’s the chip on the shoulder that leaks through the whole team directly from the likes of Luke Gale. But when it comes to the crunch inevitably they go back in to their shell. Gale has demonstrated this with England and in last years Grand Final. Not to mention the second half of last nights game. It will take some mental correction to become winners.

I thought it was a great game. Best SL game I've watched this season.

I've just put something similar on our forum. I think playing this fixture at Elland Road every year would be fantastic. Whatever the result, it was a great night and the game needs more like it. There was a great atmosphere between both sets of fans before and after the game. The buzz around the ground even a couple of hours before kick off was fantastic. Compare it to watching the embarrassment of empty stands on SKY the night before. The only negative was the seats in the South Stand at Elland Road were tiny, or maybe I just need to go on a diet! icon_lol.gif Saints v Wigan at Anfield would be a good shout too.

Don't think we are all the same - I'd have swapped every win against Leeds last season and the LLS to have won at Old Trafford. Leeds are champions for a reason - they win when it matters. We are still learning to play at the business end of the season, but hopefully it will come. Great night last night, the game needs more regular season 'events' like it

The game was expertly promoted by both Leeds and Cas Tigers so hats off to them. I would like to see a repeat next season but a little later maybe around round 11 in warmer weather. The record of 25,000 could easily be beaten by these two fantastically supported sides. eusa_clap.gif

Gets my vote. Out of interest, would you Cas fans be happy if it was your "home" game next time?

Look at every other sport in the world. Apart from football and Forumla 1, there are play-offs to decide the champions.
