GENERAL CHAT ABOUT THE GAME, BUILD UP, THE ACTION AS IT HAPPENS AND AFTERMATH BELOW.

Cas win by 10+

Cas 32 Leeds 18

I'll wait until the VT's prediction specialist ruuBron108 has had his two penneth, he'll probably split it so that at least one of them will get it right,

Hoping for an encouraging performance to take into the remaining games, a win would be a bonus. Whilst some will say it’s must win I don’t agree

We’ve got - HKR, Salford. Catalans, Hudds and London to play (the latter 2 away) those are our must win games

We’ve also got Hull and Warrington at home which I think are possibles because of when they’re played. Hull the week before the CC SF, when they coasted past Catalans in the QF they were hammered the week before by Hudds at Magic weekend so could see the bad version of Hull. Warrington is the final game if we need to win, Wire will more than likely be unable to move from 2nd and rest players/have one eye of the playoffs.

Tonight vs Cas away and Saints at home would be bonuses.

Looking forward to this game . Be hard to call . Always a decent atmosphere at The Jungle .

Phil Clarke has tipped Leeds to win so we are screwed. Whilst performances have improved I just don’t think we have enough yet to win this one....our starting 2nd row pairing of Ferres and Sutcliffe makes me want to cry.

Can somebody clear up the free play rule for me there please? I thought it had been abolished? Once the leeds player passed it should have been play on as advantage over? 

We started the game with three 2nd rowers on the bench, for the love of god sub Ferres off ASAP.

Leeds defence has improved or we are missing Trueman. Not sure which.

Jesus Christ give Watts an Oscar for that performance

What on Earth are Cas playing at?!

You’re missing him but think mostly the effort of Leeds’ defence. Even with that exact same performance Cas would’ve scored at least 4 tries past us 7/8 weeks ago.

Our passing is killing us though. Even if you ignore the interceptions, the completed passes still are far from crisp. Hopefully we bring on this Martin guy for Ferres and see what he’s got.

If the game follows the current pattern and leeds win, I'll mostly be looking forward to Powell's bitter saltiness.

Aston and Matautai have been absolutely dreadful!

Looks like I’m the kiss of death for Castleford lately with my predictions

pass for cas first try was a mile forward. and the tj was perfectly placed and missed it

It's like watching a car crash.......neither of these sides would touch the worst NRL side........that have to be put down at half time if they faced the storm!

How would you know. You live In London as evident by your posting time and don’t watch the NRL

Hope they allow Powell an extended interview.

i hope he drop kicks Eden into the river, tbh

Great result that for leeds, not the smartest or most clinical but good to see that level of desire back in the side. Credit agar. Bye London

Awwww did you think London were going to stay up?

God knows how Walker gets MOM, the middles of Merrin and Ava were great, Cuthbertson was too but didn’t return 2nd half.

We were poor disciplined at times and ok with you being pinged for hands in but how Cas weren’t was a joke, McShane got away with two obvious ones.

Some Leeds fans have bigged up Cam Smith for years but he’s an absolute attack killer with complete greed.

Richard Agar for coach of the year
