GAME ON : Castleford Tigers v Leeds Rhinos - 20:00:00

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

Leeds fans have sunk to an all time low - jeering and booing an injured Tigers player off. Disgraceful.

Angels those Cas fans. They'd never stoop to such low standards, no really.

It will be a sad day if this current Leeds side makes it to Old Trafford. How they have made 2nd place in the league is a mystery.

Celebrating an injury to a player is the lowest of the low, abusing him when he was receiving treatment for a potentially serious injury and cheering about this as he left the field was disgusting. It wasn't a small minority either.
I've been watching Cas for many years and I can't remember our supporters ever doing this.

Give over. When Burgess broke his jaw at our place other year we were all clapping him off the field. I know Leeds hate the fact Cas are now the better west Yorkshire team but show some respect!!

We've had it twice this year - first at Leigh when Milner was stretchered off and then last night when Hardaker got injured. Prior to this I have never witnessed it before.

Cas are a smashing little club and it's great you're having a decent season, but remember your place.

It was only a few years ago you brought disgrace on yourselves and abused a poor chap for his sexual preference so put your halo's away.

Thanks for the patronizing comment - we'll all get back in line now we know where we belong in the food chain.

What's our place these days???

Not finished outside top 5 since 2013. Finished above Leeds nearly every year. Just not won a trophy that's all. So that comment don't forget your place is a load of tosh these days.

Not won a trophy. Exactly!

Until you do then less of the superiority complex.

So you measure your place in the world in relation to Leeds? Inferiority complex much?

Rather different though. Whilst absolutely unacceptable, the comments towards Thomas were made by a very small minority of idiots stood close to the touchline.
Conversely, it was the majority of Leeds supporters celebrating a player's injury.
There are elements of Castleford support I am uncomfortable with too. I hate the "You're f****** s***" chant and also the "Shaun Wane's a ****" that seems to randomly appear, even when we aren't playing Wigan.
However, there is nothing lower than abusing an injured player and celebrating when he leaves the field.

No just find it funny a Leeds fan telling us to not forget our place!!!

We won LLS. Yep. Not a major trophy but it's big enough for Leeds to class it as part of their amazing treble winning season. Best in their history and all that.

So what's the LLS if it's not a trophy.
The big one is the next, just a matter of time.

It would be great to win the Sky Cup at Old Trafford and then we can go back to mid-table mediocrity to please the Leeds fans.

The what?





Are you trying to diminish what everyone in the sport thinks is the most important thing to win to try and somehow big up Cas winning the LLS? Nothing, absolutely nothing, comes close to winning the Grand Final. It's the stage on which real champions show they are champions.

I hope Cas do that - the semi final is the first real challenge though, a big test to prove the club aren't chokers.

Absolute tripe to dismiss Cas as chokers whatever happens from here. Since people started to take them seriously after they annihilated Leeds at the start of the season it's been:

They'll fade,
Wait till they get injuries,
See how they cope without Gale,
Bubbles burst (only to win the following week),
They'll not maintain momentum in the 8s,
Oh let's not forget the customary dig about the advantageous small pitch.

They've made clowns of all the know-it-alls and bitter types. They've already bagged a prize, 100k cheque and a guaranteed WCC place.

Anybody who dismisses them as chokers is talking out of his/her ring piece unless they predicted at the start of the season Cas would win the grand final. Did anybody?

Exceeding expectations is not choking.

they fully deserve to win it. the best side by miles. the fact this awful leeds side is second is a terrible indictment of standards. still think wigan and hull will have a big say yet

Assuming Leeds don't, I hope Cas win it, as it would hopefully send a clear message about the kind of RL that can win as well as being good to watch.
