| Everyone knew it was all over when the South Stand started singing about going to Wembley.
Cas bossed the game like they did in the lat two meetings & Hardaker's try was the cherry on the cake.
Yeah but, wait 'till the business end of the season, blah, blah.
Leeds look like a team dining on past glories, they were really up for it tonight but fell well short once again.
Even McGuire was trumped by Gale as the most irritating player in S.L.

Cas are arrogant and petulant , but they play the game how it should be played
They are a class above the rest at the moment despite apart from one or two players being essentially average SL players , individually their squad isn't much if any better than any other in SL , but fair do's to Powell ( who I am not the biggest fan of personally ) , he's got them playing out of their skins , very ' Murphy esc ''"
Honestly get why people call Gale arrogant, every decent modern British half has had that about them Schofield,Long, Briers, Brought etc etc. what I don't get is how arrogant is aimed at cas this year ??? I take it as a compliment as iv never seen the word arrogant and cas together until we have been doing well, I honestly don't understand it. We'll ignore that we are playing the best rugby of my lifetime from a cas squad and not be proud of what we are doing because it's arrogant ?? I honestly don't see it ?

Why? Because the fans and club aren't allowed to celebrate success. Remember we're just a small town overshadowed by the big city of Wakefield and we shouldn't be contesting the 'big teams' or trophies.
Most of the other people complaining about arrogance seem to be fans of the 'big 4' - the ones that have had years of success and final appearances, not the ones who have had to endure years of seeing their team lose by cricket scores or relegation.
End of the day we'll keep on enjoying the victories, on their own they might not win silverware but it makes a change from losing and being at the foot of the table.

| To be honest, I'm surprised it was only 3 trys to 2, the amount of unforced errors Leeds made was shocking.

We got it in the Championship when ripping teams to shreds , success generally does breed arrogance , take it as a compliment

| scoreline massively flattered leeds. Cas were so much better, 23/0 would probably have been accurate. The 2 were conceded were through real stupidity and it's something we need to keep working on. Overall, in less favourable conditions to win easy at headingley I'm cool with that.

5 day turnaround and still win easily. What was penalty count?? Love it when people blame ref for how bad they were.

Penalty count was 9 all so that makes your comment completely wrong difference is we still had to score our tries by breaking the line or actually having to make an effort. Leeds 2 tries came direct from an error so Leeds literally only had to put ball down on both.

| A half back in this country is only arrogant when he is bloody good it seems!
Thankfully at Cas we have one at the moment.

| Quote: GUBRATS "Strange no comments at all about this
Anyway I'll add one thing
Jamie Jones , dirty scumbag , time to retire , from playing and your media ' career ''"
JJB''s performance last night illustrated a player who is one season to far. He thinks he''s invisible, he stand 3 yards off side at the play the ball, or runs from deep into the defensive line to try and get at the first receiver, unfortunately is timing is so poor he's of side every time.
My biggest concern from last night was the corralling of the ref by Leeds player at every dicision they disagreed with. This was reminiscent of Wendyball ala Roy Keene esk.
Needs to be stamped out now, flash the red card and draw a line in the sand.
Also when a clubs on field leader shows such descent, the RFL need to be issuing retrospective punishment.

agree with what you have said and I also think that they should use the video ref more if a player says is ball was stolen then go to the video ref to check it and then if correct give a penalty that will stop the ball steal

I was in the Carnegie & have not heard the level of abuse aimed at a ref at Leeds before. It wasn't just after McGuire's sin binning, it started almost from the off.

Agreed, Cas were far better than us on the night and the scoreline doesn't reflect how comfortable it was really.No complaints from me.
That said, the errors we made constantly throughout, and many under no pressure would have made an under 10's coach pull his hair out We wouldn't have beaten many SL teams with that completion rate, never mind the side top of the league.

| Meh! We've heard the same murmurings from Wire and Huddersfield in the past and neither have managed to get their name on the SL trophy. Don't get me wrong, I like Cas and how they play but if your raison d'etre is to beat Leeds then you've taken your eye off the prize. Cas have already dobbed one big game and missed out on a trophy. Do you think they can hold it together mentally in a GF Qualifier against ,say Wigan? For the good of the game in general I'd like to see different clubs contesting the finals. Should be interesting come October.
