How good was last night's game?

I havent enjoyed an atmosphere like that at Headingley in some time. A big fervent away support excellent opposition local derby with real feeling and a good tight game with plenty of aggression and a hint of controversy.

More of the same please super League. My appetite is whetted. What will you serve up next?

Oh Salford away......

The ground was bouncing.

The second half seemed to fly. Look forward to more battles this year with our 14 fingered neighbours.

however i have no fingernails left!

A hell of a game Gareth. It was worth my long trip to see our teams go at it for 80 minutes and it's a shame it couldn't go along for longer. Lots of aggression in the game and a moment of madness from Sinfield which was a hell of a surprise to see.

Am I being unfair in saying that I thought the quality was low? Hi intensity, lots of loose play and frantic as well as entertaining, yes, but not great quality for a large part.

Second half was amazing. To much soft defence and errors in first half for me

At times the South stand was rocking last night, especially in the second half.
Will be gutted when/if she gets knocked down.

Best game this season.

If only all games had the ingredients that last nights game had, saying that I don't think my thermally insulated ticker could take too many of them.

I can't speak for the atmosphere at the game because I had to watch on t.v but I agree with tad & seth especially from a Rhinos performance p.o.v.

My thoughts too.

I agree. The contest was exciting and absorbing but was littered with errors and sloppy play.

It was pretty startling again how many times we messed up our last tackle plays. Not just the obvious ones with the Burrow pass to Peacock and Aiton's shocking pass McGuire, both of which should have led to routine drop-goals. It was a hot night and a hothouse atmosphere so maybe that got to the players but it's not what you'd expect from such a professional bunch. Some time on the training field required.

Cracking game though. Cas always was the best derby.

Brilliant game - high intensity great atmosphere just what Super League was supposed to deliver.

The result was about right in my view - I was surprised at how good Cas were.

Agree with all posters except the 14 fingered one.

Think we needed to show we can compete well away from Wheldon Road. It wasn't about playing Leeds either, it was about playing a fellow top 4 side and showing we are deserving of being where we are. The game was played a such a fast pace.

I'd consumed a few beers and genuinely thought it was a planned move for JP to go for the drop goal. The game had it all, drama, entertainment, controversy.

A possible 2/3 more meetings between the 2 sides if things pan out.

I wasnt surprised given their performances so for this season...Good Coach.

Enjoyed the game, our best so far this season, despite the 2 brain farts. We lifted our intensity in the second half and had them really struggling to get out of their half. We just let it spill over a bit too far on both occassions and it cost us the game IMHO.

Straight red card. 3 game ban reduced to 2 on EGP.

Really enjoyed the match - yes too many mistakes for the purist, but no less entertaining for all that. Great atmosphere nice knowledgeable chat and banter with the Leeds fans too.

If we get through to meet at Wembley it will be great. Not counting any chickens just yet, though.

Disagree with some of that mate I thought we were so much better all round v Wigan at home and against ST's in the Cup.

Slight error on the post .. I was talking about the game as a whole, including the Cas contribution. I did say "our" though

Meant not just our effort or the overall result..

Agree with all that

Hmm contrary to popular opinion I thought the game was scrappy I accept it was exciting towards the end but all it whetted my appetite for was a to see Leeds string together a top quality performance for the fist time in a couple of months!

I was left feeling that we were seriously misfiring, that we looked disjointed, in general our timing was slightly out and we looked more than a little unimaginative in attack. Not surprising given how little this group have played together this season.

As for Sinfield I was left wondering what he was so frustrated about? The realisation that his powers are on the wane perhaps?

I'm really liking the way Cass are playing at the moment - they are playing as a team. Last year they were 12 blokes running around after one bloke, not knowing what the fekk he was going to do next.

This year they look well organised, well drilled and playing with grit and determination, nothing fancy just good, old fashioned hard work and it's a joy to watch.

A bit like Leeds and Mr.Burrow then really....

Great Match shame there had to be a loser lmao

Who was the loser?

I enjoyed it. Good atmosphere in the southy. The waaaay chant is ace.
