I wanted cas to win but sometimes I did get fed up with every man and his dog going on about how good there where, playing on a different level to everybody else, bottom line there won nowt,

Twitter. Turns out it's Doncaster he's signed for.

Perfect place for him under Richard Horne

Turns out the CC Final was a better occasion and game than the Grand Final.

Awful. Couldn't be bothered to stick with it.

I'd like George Lawler if we could get him.

For sure, they have some good players. Just saying that of those who've had a foot in both camps, our cohort seems to be doing OK.

They won the LLS

Still not regarded as a major trophy, do you remember the year Hudds won it, me neither?

No one will remember and mention this in years to come whilst people will still talk about Hull and Leeds achievements

Powell essentially said it was the equal to a GF win so he/Cas fans should be over the moon It probably is hugely disappointing for their fans not to finish things off but the way they played most of the season was superb.

So I disagree, people WILL remember and talk about Cas from this season because their game play at times stood out at a global level over both codes, it'll be remembered more than our CC win in RL circles but obviously won't resonate as much and be less than our back to back win for Hull fans. Nobody outside of our fanbase cares about our win, that's a reality, what Cas did ignited RL in this country as a whole and had everyone talking about it.

I'm even more gutted about losing last week now we've seen cas choke in the final. This should have been a double winning year.

I've said all season that if teams defend their edges well then cas have nothing else. 3 wins from 4 for us against them and we outscored them in tries in the other one.

2017 is the year of missed opportunities for me

In a way yea it is. But still think retaining the CC and a semi is a successful season for us. Hopefully we can go further next year.

We said last year there'd never be a better chance. The reality is that there are clubs with bigger crowds, resources and final-winning heritage than us competing for the biggest prizes and they've won the last two GFs. There's a reason why the GF has only been won by a few teams and that's because it's really difficult to get in the top few and be able to peak at precisely the right time. Personally I think we've made great strides over the last couple of years and feel proud about what we've achieved, whilst accepting that but for 2 crappy switch-offs in the last quarters of SFs we'd have had a great shot at being SL champions as well as back to back Wembley winners.

The loss of Ellis and Fonua are enormous, but there are still reasons for optimism for next year. If Fariamo can offer a reasonable proportion of what Fonua did, the back line looks strong and experienced, with Connor providing some X Factor. Sneyd and Kelly have settled into one another's style now and both are very good SL players - one double Lance Todd winner, the other POTY and MOS nominee. The front row is better year on year with the addition of Paea and Watts exiting the season in superb form. Back row obviously will see a huge gap with Ellis gone and probably Mini's last year. But Hadley has received great raps from Wakey and we have some depth with the younger players here. It's hard to predict what other teams will do; Saints and Warrington look like they will step on next year and it's hard to think Catalans will underperform to the same extent but you'd like to think a lack of huge churn in roster will be a good thing for us as the most successful sides have incremental rather than wholesale changes to their squads.

2017's been 8.5/10 for me. Some fantastic performances (mainly in the cup) punctuated by some pretty average and forgettable ones, but ultimately one of two major trophies in the cabinet and a one score loss to the Champions in the SF. I'd have taken that all day long at the start of the season.
