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.

Wigan are still reigning champions and will be until they either fail to make top 4 or get knocked out in the semis.

Cas are the leader's shield winners and have been rewarded for that and the benefits that honour that brings.

Cas have been a beacon of how to play the game.

One home tie to get to the BIG ONE.

Up to Cas now to complete the task....

I certainly don't want the rules changing, and I haven't seen many Cas fans who do.
Powell's point was that the team finishing top has demonstrated consistency over the season as a whole. I don't think there is much of an argument against that.
This trophy has signifance for Cas as it's the first one we have won in the SL era (and indeed the first time we have finished at the top of the league).
The first of every trophy goes down in the history of a club.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean it's a bigger achievement, just because that's the way it is.

Cause it does, the grand final is the biggest prize and the hardest to win. That's when the pressure is on the most.

Totally agree with this as I've had to do the same thing plenty of times.

Cas need to make sure they don't end being Hudds and/or Wire.

Edited for accuracy

Cas fans could be in for a treat depending on who finishes 4th and pays them a little visit for the semi-final. They must be praying Wakefield cling on to 4th
