Just had a quick read of their main forum, I don't think ive read one post giving Leeds any credit - in fact quite a few saying we were 'rubbish' and 'bang average'.

Are you hell.

Arrogant and cocky supporters taking the mickey before the game. "Why have you bothered to turn up", "Wasted journey", "8 in a row" etc, etc. Grand Finalist supporters haven't done this in the past, mutual respect is what is normally on show. Then at the end of the game they plead that the competition stinks. "How can we be crowned "Champions"?" Well that's how our competition is structured. If Cas (and there have been others) don't agree with the structure of Super League then don't enter the comp.

Cas supporters you have to live with that. Get over it!

I went through all 8 winning finals yesterday and everyone was different even 2008 2017 apart from the similar jibes from the saints and Cas fans , remember the lead up to 2008 all those saints fans on here after the 38-10 defeat and certain players Pryce for instance saying 'we should be champions we finished top 'etc. The difference for me was in 2008 I was fearful of the outcome , against Cas I wouldn't have backed us ,but I thought we were in with a chance .The last few games we were getting into a bit of form and Cas weren't running away with games like earlier . the other similar thin about 08 and 17 was saints went into the final on the back of 23 ? games undefeated and Cas had beaten us 8 games in a row and both sets of their fans were reminded that all runs end

Cas fans clearly overlooked the fact that they were decidedly second best in their semifinal win over saints who outscored the so-called ipregnable defence of Cas five tries to three and would have won had Percival kicked only one of the four conversion attempts that missed.

Back in their box & looking forward to visiting their shed next year just to remind them who the Champions are.
Even if they win 66-10 again.....we’ll still be champions & they’ll still be chokers
All finals were special but Saturday was because it was Cas
Back in their box.

Luke Gales post try cat walk strut exemplifies the supreme cocky arrogance that has swarmed them over the last year. There's a reason it's now "cocky classy cas". Everyone knows you don't get cocky until the trophy is in the cabinet, then and only then do you have the bragging rights. The cocky element of their fans (the "why have you bothered turning up" mob) learnt a profound lesson on Saturday.

They'll learn some more lessons next season because it'll be difficult to dominate like they have this season and there's too many teams with pedigree looking for redemption. (Wigan, Warrington after poor seasons, and then hull and saints looking to get past the gfs semi).

I'm not in the camp that thinks Saturday was a stumble on the way to greatness for cas. I think they played a huge get of jail card to get there and then once there blew their big chance, getting to the gf is hard, just ask the saints or hull teams from the past few seasons.

Powell's put a great little set up in place with the players there at the moment (a bit like huddersfield a few years ago), but when some of them move on, when teams adapt to their systems better it will be harder. You can't maintain a top team on journeyman who you make greater than the sum with a good system, you need top quality juniors. That's why it always comes back to Wigan leeds and saints.

Despite you pricks doing your best to belittle Cas , FYI our juniors also made the Academy Grand Final. Lost to Wigan but still, when some of our "journeymen" move on there is some reasonable talent coming through.

Only one prick you should be directing your anger at and he doesn't reside on here.

Chill 88, I don't think most of us are belittling Cas, you played wonderful entertaining rugby for most of the season. Unfortunately when the weather didn't favour your style of play, and you star FB had another brain fart, there didn't appear to be a plan B.

We were written off by just about everyone, including by most of us for much of the season, but against expectations, including my own, we showed why you should never write off Leeds in a final.

If your guys can perform as well next season you may yet break your GF duck. After all they say you have to lose one to win one

Yeah that's right 88, you gotta lose one to win one.





Cocky classy cas.

Aww bless someones touched a nerve who was selling the Champions scarfs last week then?
You've been giving it large all season yet when the big one came round you were handed your s.

Powell forcing his players to stay on the pitch and watch Leeds lift the trophy is a good sign for Cas fans. He wants the team to learn how much it hurts and come out of it stronger.

Doesn't every team do that? Can't recall an opposition that wasn't still on the pitch when we lifted the trophy previously.

I don't know, but given the new thing of darkening the stadium aside from the little stage, there would seem little to stop them sloping off once they've got their losers awards.

U ok hun?

didn't Saints walk off after one of the threepeats ?

Ahh! 8 in row right? Oh! You're not champions!

You must be gutted?

But you are league champions right?

Oh no!

The Rhinos are the true champions!

Oh well! 8 in a row right!

we took 66-10 on the chin and the rest all season long we even acknowledged that Cas were playing some great football ,but toward the end there was one or two signs to make us think we have a chance here .This is going to take some recovering from "some" of the Cas fans ,oh and where is our regenerating Troll ?

He's gone for a lie-down in a darkened room after a good dose of sal volatile.

Shouldn't you have followed that up with an "inbox me".

Bless him I think he genuinely thought this would finally be the year he wouldn't have to disappear post GF.

I'd love to run into the shaggy haired 50 year Cas fan giving our group a load of verbal in Newcastle now.

I said at the time (in anger) that trophies aren't handed out in June and politely asked him to "show us your trophies" he then lost his rag and head butted my brother.

Strange how all my Cas supporting friends have suddenly gone very quiet and disappeared also?

2011 has to be the best for me, I just didnt think we had a chance and the way we came back in the last 20 was amazing

I'll always be fond of 2012, because it was possibly Sir Kev's finest hour. He kicked every goal, and unless I'm mis-remembering, he was MoM in all four play off matches.
