need to put Cas in there place, sick of hearing cas this cas that, fact is they have won no trophies and have won the same amount of games as us this season and are only two points above us in league. people making out they are treble winners elect. fact is they are a good side playing well, but we are still man for man a better side and i do believe when we are all fully fit and on form we still are the best side in the country. time to show it and for once be fired up for cas like they always are for us. leeds by16

I disagree. Cas are clearly the best side in the country at the moment. Even at our best this year we've looked nowhere near as good.

Cas may well be on their way to the title, and good luck to them. It's time a new name went on the trophy.

Since we won it in 2004, not one new name has gone on there. That needs to change.

So clear that theyve built up a 1 point gap at the top of the league

A message put out on Facebook and Twitter this morning.

'Following the successful atmosphere at catalan I can't help but think previous years at magic weekends our supporters have been spread owt...
So let's all ensure we sit together this year to get behind the lads in what is our biggest of the season so far.

Most Leeds fans have unreserved tickets in the Leazus Stand so let's all make an effort and get sat in the following blocks to ensure we create the best atmosphere possible on Sunday:-

L4V & L2SB (Middle blocks)

Can't wait for this game should be a cracker, Cas's lack of experience playing at big stadiums should work in our favour.

How they're playing now means nowt. 2005 anyone? If they do win it, fair play. If we win it with a "lesser" team, even fairer play.

They play at Magic every year and have a pretty good record (a lot of matches vs Wakey TBF) so I don't think the ground will be an issue.....the atmosphere with fans all mixed in etc. doesn't put it in the same bracket as Wembley and Old Trafford. Although for the first time they are in one of the headline final games of the day so a little difference there I suppose.

We've got plenty of experience in big grounds but we've underperformed at Magic for a while and I think it's because we don't treat it like a big occasion. That's what we need to change this year in our approach, should go there like we're playing in a playoff or cup game, that's definitely the sense you got for Wigan's performances against us over the years. I'm hoping that part of the reason we've underperformed against Hudds and Catalans is that we've had half an eye on and been focusing on this fixture instead and looking to peak for it. It wouldn't be the first time we've looked poor before a big game and then been clinical come the big game if it were to happen.

Galloway up before the beak for striking, grade A EGP available so should be free to play on Sunday.

Rangi Chase has gone on loan to Widnes for the rest of the season and won't be offered a new contract by Cas when his deal ends this season.

Good move by Cas, don't need him, they've been forcing him on from the bench lately and it didn't really work as well as the obvious off field troublesome distraction factor.

And NO we shouldn't sign him next season.

Re: RD 14 MW | Leeds Rhinos v Castleford Tigers : Mon May 15, 2017 7:37 pm  

Galloway has been good since his return. For a big fella, he's got an engine.

Rangi...on his day unplayable......those days are few and far unfortunately. Could have been.
