For 60 minutes today we looked like a team that was going to struggle as we were getting soundly beaten by a Cas side lacking a load of regulars then in the last twenty I don't quite know what happened but we looked a totally different side. Throwing the ball about, great attacks, marvellous finishes. Maybe we should just play 20 minutes every week. Special mention to James Batchelor. What a great try. I didn't realise he was so fast. Play like the last twenty boys and i don't think we've anything to fear.

No bubble burst mate. I'm well aware we don't register on Leeds' radar! most of Cas has a chip in its shoulder where Leeds are concerned; in all aspects not just rugby & I suspect that's why I enjoy beating them more than any other team.

You're not on your own there Vasty, I was another stood in the Scoreboard end in the 70s. Back on topic, there is all ways going to be rivalry and so called hate towards other teams, the hate thing is a figure of speech , a gut reaction, whatever you want to call it but I'm sure, hopefully, that's all it is.

But isn't it the "hate" (strong word) that gives you the atmosphere, a Cas v Wakey game has an edge/atmosphere because of the hate?
With the best will in the world supporters in general have no feeling whatsoever for a Catalans or Salford, we can take them or leave them, is that why we have no atmosphere for such games? The adrenaline as such isn't there.

I spent 3 years at uni in Manchester. They absolutely detest Leeds. The only Manure fans who don't understand the rivalry and hatred with Leeds are from my own experience the ones who don't actually come from Manchester. Which would explain why a chunk of their fanbase "don't get it". Like Vastman for example.

In other words, the glory hunters.
