The suggestion is that Castleford RLFC are selling scarves calling themselves Champions, which is obviously bololcks. It’s like me accusing Gary Hetherington of being racist because a few Leeds morons sing offensive songs about Bradford’s Asian population outside Bretts chippy.

Cas are clear favourites and deservedly so. But it's a two-horse race and Leeds aren't some also rans...for a start we've been significantly better than saints over the season and saints [ishould[/i have won last Thursday*

*I'm not basing this on some wild speculation just pure fact, Cas would have lost if not for one of the stupidest, softest and most needless penalties you'll ever see in the last minute. The final play kick by Cas was awful, Barba had it covered in his sleep and there was no chance in hell of the obstructed Cas player getting anywhere near the ball.

Leeds are 7/4 which is where my money will be going. It's an unreal feeling, Cas being clear favourites in a GF.

The thing I like best about this is that we have been here before and come out the right side more than any other club in SL history, but the club we are playing from top to bottom including the fans bar Hardaker (who despite being a great player is at best a total f*ckwit) have no idea what they are walking into.

Massive favourites makes it even better.

oh I would leave racism out of it if I was you otherwise there maybe allegations of anti-Semitism

Ah how I remember the Cas fans at school chanting Jews at us Leeds fans.

Typical arrogant big club attitude from Cas who are only where they are thanks to poaching players from little clubs like Bradford.

“It would be wrong to pretend that I like it but the world is not always what you want it to be.”

Hardly massive favourites are we.

Plus the likes of Andy Lynch Michael Shenton Joel Monaghan Olli Holmes Nathan Massey, the 3 main coaching staff have all been involved with or played in finals.

Will grizzly Bri keep his emotions in check this week? He seems to be on the edge. Be unfortunate if he provides Cas's teamtalk again.

Powell by plenty.

Stop sucking up to the loiners. Have some dignity.

Specifically remember bradford filling their boots when Cas were relegated .

No idea what they're walking in to? Chortle, guffaw, s


Post bookmarked.

Post bookmarked - we can remind posters of their absurd comments too.

He was the same when he ditched his home-town Bramley for Bradford when they started winning. I once bumped into him around town in a Leeds shirt. Him not me.

Shocking! Turncoats have no credibility.

Talking of turncoats does Oldham Rhino still post on here? I hear he's got himself a nice gig at Ken Bates FM. Last seen fawning over Garry Schofield.

Don't confuse factual accuracies with absurd comments.

Provide all evidence Leeds are on Cas's level.

Go...

I've never lived in Bramley. If I had I'd have been a life long fan and not like someone who deserts his hometown team in South Yorkshire for glamour club Castleford.

Delaney and Ward both out of the Grand Final.

Oh it's you. I should've known.



Guffaw indeed.

Also I didn't say I was expecting a win but I won't be going to the game with a view that losing by 10 will be a good result. What kind of person thinks like that?

If leeds win on Saturday will Parkside freddie vanish again for another 8 months and resurface under another username when he/she feels the Leeds club are up for a fall?

This all feels mighty familiar?

Just to clear up 'Scarfgate' - it's a guy on Wheldon Road, just outside the Nestle factory who is selling them. It's not official club merchandise, from what I could see it has a very rough picture of a tiger on it (clipart job!) and not the official club badge. One also says 'Never Mind The Bollocks, We're The Champions.'

Been on sale at the last 2, possibly 3 home games and to me is a reference to winning the league leaders shield and nothing at all to do with assuming we will be Grand Final winners.

For what it's worth, I can't blame him for trying to make money. The club are useless when it comes to maximising merchandise: From memory, for our last final, the 2014 Wembley final, we had one very average fruit of the loom T shirt available in a few sizes which said Wembley 2014 on it and that was it. Most supporters were buying Wembley merch from independent sellers and from the market.

Amazing how other clubs within Yorkshire who have attended Wembley recently (York City FC, Barnsley FC, Bradford City) can roll out a wide variety of stock at short notice. I assume Leeds Rhinos are on the ball too.

You are aware Cas stayed in bed for one of their games and played the u12s?

Convenient table that though, I understand why you decided to post the truncated version.
