And. You remain. Just a small town in Wakefield.

commiserations cas,i had money on you.you tried,but don`t be down hearted,your time will come.

Bad luck Cas, hope you all enjoyed the day and safe journey home.

Leeds fan in peace.

Commiserations on today. Nobody knows better than us how gutting a Wembley defeat is. But fans players and coach did you proud today. Experience probably told a bit.

Some teams on the up get to a final, lose and then die away. Not going to be the case for Cas. Some quality players, a top coach and a good team ethos. Today was just the start, both this season and beyond.

Hope you all still had a good day. Next big day out won't be long.

12 months ago we were relegation fodder, the club was in tatters and the crowds were falling like a stone. Look at us now - I left the ground today feeling nothing but immense pride in how the players and the fans handled themselves today. Yes, it was not our best performance, but you can only play as well as your opponent lets you play, and our opponents were clinical. We've come from nowhere and bloody stuck our place in the world of RL once again. Very proud today - long may it continue.

Well done today and well done to the strides you've made in SL this season. We've been there twice over the last few years and lost both but have grown from that experience. We won the LLS last season and now are challenging at the top end of SL consistently and in with a great shout of getting to Old Trafford. With the players and coaching staff you've got I think you'll build on today's disappointment and come out stronger and better for it.

^^^^^This exactly!!!

All valuable experience at the end of the day, how many times will our lads have played in front of a crowd that size? I think this is just the start of something at Cas and hopefully we will build on it with Daryl & Danny in charge.

Looking back on yesterdays game it was almost a carbon copy of Leeds Semi Final win.

They hit us hard and early, capitalised on our errors and we went into panic mode as our starting half backs struggled to gain a foot hold in the game. The hooter for the first half couldn't come fast enough for me.

Second half we gave it a good go but their experience really shone through and pains me to say it were worthy winners. I thought our best player by some distance was Lee Jewitt ....this season really has been a fairy tale for him.

As previous posters have said very proud of the progress we have made as a club, lets hope we can build on it!

.....with 3 Wembley appearances since your last one.

35 years and counting

Not disappointed with the fact that we lost. Leeds were the better team and controlled the game superbly.I am disappointed that we didn't show how good we can be, and I am a bit deflated by that. But I will be darn't lane on Monday to cheer the boys and I cant wait for sunday to see us begin our run into the finals. COYF

As a Leeds fan I just want to say well done to all involved with Castleford yesterday. Your players never gave in, your coach was classy in defeat and you, the fans, were a credit to yourselves. I had a great day chatting to lots of you, and enjoying some great banter. You've got so much to be proud of with this bunch of lads, and I hope this year is the start of a long period of great Leeds-Cas games.

The Cass mascot was class at the end of the match.

Must be gutting when that 'small town in Wakefield' is doing so much better than yourselves.

Unlucky yesterday Cas, but at least you got to the final and gave it a go.

Not at all, one season in the sun and now Cas are an established top team? Let's see next season when Cas lose the spine of the team and have to rebuild like Wakefield have for the past god knows how many seasons. HTH.

Ignore the troll.

Just to have been to Wembley to watch your team in a cup final must have been immense, despite the scoreline.

I wasn't too disappointed with the result Yesterday maybe because we just were not at the races from the start and we did get better in the second half.
Leeds got their tactics right and won the ruck hands down. They sacrificed pressure for controlled restarts.

If our marker defence wasn't so lethargic we could still have been well and truly in the game, holding down only helps defence get back 10 metres it doesn't help marker defence as you still have to roll away eventually leaving only one marker and then Leeds were stealing 10/12 yards every time.fix that and we got a lot to play for yet this season.

Wish you could have done it, but it was not meant to be.
Your club has been a credit to RL this year

Good luck in the play offs

Good luck for the rest of the season lads - lets hope the Leeds / Cas rivalry picks up from here - Wheldon Road is one of the best RL grounds to visit.

I have visited Wembley many times, and Wakefield fans are the most miserable set of wet blanket supporters it has ever been my misfortune to meet.

Ooh let's try and get the Cas fans on side by having a go at their nearest local rivals. MP is just one guy. Most Wakefield supporters were happy for Cas (within reason) and were supporting them over Leeds.
Maybe they are just miserable when they meet you? Who knows.

Amyway, great effort Cas. Pity it didn't work out but you weren't shown up like some have been.
Must push on to the playoffs now and not be too down hearted. You could be second by the playoffs and a trip to Old Trafford is not out of the question. Make it a big year.

Calm down, dear. No, they are just miserable. Its living in Wakey that does it !

Hard luck. You were unlucky to meet a Leeds team in full winning mode and I feel sure on the day no other SL side would have done any better. Your team and coach are a credit to the game and I really do hope we could meet again in the Grand Final this year.

Thank you

Not all Wakefield fans wanted Cas to loose and to band everyone together isn't fair.

I wanted Cas to win, a team without the clout moneywise of the big teams winning was good for the game. I think it would have been good for the form and work this year to account for some silverwear.

You didn't win but you got to go to Wembley and support your team. I just thought Leeds tactic were spot on the controlled the ruck and the speed and just looked to have more size and energy. I can't remember Clarke running from dummy half and this was due to the control they had. I've not seen as many games as the Cas fans but to me Snyed looks a different player since he has signed for Hull, he just seems to have lost a lot of what he had.

Good luck from a support of the other team from the district.

Thanks, appreciated
Back to normal next week

rivalries renewed !
looking forward to the derby a week on Sunday, always a tough and unpredictable game
(Much like Sundays game against a rejuvenated Bradford)
Just hope the boys are refreshed and re-focused for the last 3 games
