I'm cheering for Cas today - everything about what they've done this season should be celebrated and they deserve to be in the final. I'll have to take a shower afterwards of course, but I need one anyway, so that's ok.

It's not the team but what they stand for. How many years have we heard how much we so called smaller clubs add nothing to the game in general. I hope Castleford win and go on to beat Leeds in the final at which point I will look forward to the excuses from those who believe the world ends outside the so called big clubs.

Cas thoroughly deserve the win today. They had one or two decent players out, but were far the better side and showed composure to grind Widnes down and take their chances.

Should be a cracking final

Also really pleased for Mariano who played pretty well

Yes we should try and sign that Mariano guy.

Don't get NGB4C started
Faultless display by Cas, fully deserved the win.

Sums it up for me.....Cas strike a blow for us smaller, unfashionable clubs that just wont go away .

If Cas had got out of first gear it could've been a cricket score and I've no doubt moaning Betts will have something to say

I don't think Betts can feel hard done by today. Widnes were just poor.

really dreading the train to Kings Cross in a fortnight. #Unbearable tigers and rhinos!!!

There's a thread on the VT about Widnes fans causing bother. Maybe that will be the club's biggest concern after that defeat.

Two really disappointing games for the neutral, but I'm glad it's an all Yorkshire final; here's hoping Cas can see off Leeds and strike a blow for the unpopular clubs!

Poor trainer apparently.
