It's been a tough ask to go over there and win this season, think only 3 teams have done so. It'll still be in the high 20s, maybe pushing 30 degrees. If Cas can pull off this big last test they deserve the LLS, not that many of the Leeds fans will give them credit. The devaluation of the LLS certainly came from the Leeds corner of West Yorkshire and has built momentum the more they have a lethargic end to the regular season combined with 'champion' performances in the play offs. Just look at the last 2 fixtures on Sky. Warrington, Wigan, Saints and Huddersfield all wanted to end the season with wins and finish as high up the table as they could. They provided two games of massive quality despite their injuries and it being the last game of the regular season. Leeds on the other hand have lost 5 out of their last 6 league games. Even Brian Mac said in his post match interview, "It all starts next Saturday." If that's the case, maybe Leeds can enter the league next year at the play-offs stage as the league seems to be an unwanted hindrance for him and the rest of the teams are just peeing in the wind.
I know one thing, when you're turning up week in week out not knowing what the future holds for your team, you'd be shouting from the rooftops that you'd won the LLS.
It pains me to say it but I hope Cas give it their all tonight and we end up with a thriller. Then we can all go on the VT and read posts from Leeds fans of how Cas have failed because the 'hubcap' means absolutely nothing.

Ah, Facebook. Where the intelligence levels are similar to those of a fortnight old cauliflower. I got shut of that social networking disease a while back. It was ok in the early days as a way of keeping in touch but the last few years have seen it become a breeding ground for people with very little between the ears. When I read a thread with multiple 'fans' wishing for players to have career ending injuries I knew we were dealing with a totally different beast.

Amen to that. The thinking man's social networking. 140 characters is a great damage limiter! |

Why would you actually remember an occasion when you met some one if they were astonishingly ordinary, or are you just making it up to justify your post. Some of the greatest RL coaches ever have been astonishingly ordinary and long may it continue, its what sets this great game apart from lesser sports. Cas were astonishingly ordinary tonight. ![]()
I didn't say it was wrong so off the horse please. I said he didn't strike me as a leader of men, I can only say it as I saw it at the time - which explains why I remain slightly unconvinced now, not that Powell cares in the least.
As for great RL coaches being ordinary - sorry but no. Of the ones I've met and I can't claim to be friends with any none were as ordinary as Powell - who incidentally I remember because he was so "ordinary" why wouldn't I? I don't mix with these people every day.
So, of those I've met…
Kear was educated and charismatic.
Mal Reilly was quite and polite but still strangely menacing.
Peter Fox was a force of nature and a legend in his own mind.
Graham Murray, an affable Aussie who made you like him.
Powell, just none of the above.
As for Ramsey how the heck do you make that out, the man was a harsh disciplinarian and ruthless team selector. And that came across in his eccentric almost Edwardian manner that most certainly wasn't the norm even in 1966, he was an oddball.

Ok, I think this thread has had the chance to make a point. I'll end it here.
