They didn't win the 2015 Million Pound Game

Ahh, but I covered that. We are brilliant at do or die relegation tussles. What we are crap at is raising our game when we are at the pleasurable end of the spectrum. You’d think it would be easier to raise your game for glory rather than the pressure of survival, but we never seem to.

It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if we don’t turn up on Sunday, I’m hoping Powell has the skill to prevent this, but for now seeing is believing.

I reckon we'll score enough IMG points without the 1895 Cup...so, I propose that we lose this weekend, let Bulls win the 1895 Cup, therefore we replace London, and Bulls may have enough points to replace Cas.

Oh, how we would laugh.

Just watched Cas lose this evening, it was very enjoyable

I'm now quite sure that our Championship squad is better than their SL squad.

Not only that, our squad will be strengthened, theirs is only weakening.

I'm not convinced they will be in SL next year.

You've posted some absolute rubbish over the years but this up there with the worst. If you genuinely believe the 2008 Challenge Cup semi final will have any influence on the result this weekend then you've lost the plot!

You talk about recent history and being the best at relegation deciders, yet the most recent relegation decider we were involved in we lost! If we lose on Sunday it's because we haven't played well enough, nothing else.

That second half performance of Cas had the classic hallmarks of a clogger conditioned squad.

We saw some "interesting" performances last season, but I don't think we had one as bad as that tbf......

I've only watched the highlights but it all looked very familiar.

Agree, I never get the history thing, there's just nothing in it, it's just nonsense. New ownership, new coach, new players come and people still cling onto this idea that there is something in the fact certain clubs have this 'history' of winning or losing games.

Regarding Cas not been in super league. Personally I want them to be there and in reality it will just be a straight swap us for London. Wouldn't you want to see our team playing them currently? Rather be in same league and beat them consistently if I'm honest.

I agree. The common denominator is always the supporters and they create a narrative that just isn't there.

The reality is, when a team has a run of wins like Cas did with us, they were just a better club at that time, in terms of money and recruitment.
Certain styles suit teams but that really only lasts a season.

Tbf, with injuries, players out of position and against Saints, who were desperate to bounce back, they were always going to get beaten, especially when the numbers were evened up.
However, they did lose their heads.
They will be happy that London are in SL this season.

KR seem to have picked up our better players over the past couple of seasons but Cas looked awful.

Is Clogger at Cas? Or was it just comparison of teams?

Clogger is at Cas

Soooo seeing as that people keep asking and no one seems to know, are we behind the post’s tomorrow or just in the ‘terrace at the side?

If at terrace at the side we all need to be stood together to try get some sort of atmosphere going rather than being dotted about

Nobody needs to know. Certainly doesn’t bother me knowing before. There’s plenty of space to stand and you can use your eyes when you get there and stand where you please. Whether that be with a large group in the thick of it or on the edges if you please. You don’t get designated standing spots.

It's game day !
How are we all feeling excited, nervous, giddy?

This must bring back lots of happy memories for some of our older posters. It has been along time since any of you woke up on a Sunday with a semi on





Can you remember the last time? 2008? 1979? or as far back as the 1960's??



For those of you unfortunate enough not to be able to get to the game BBC Radio Leeds have deigned to cover it, although it's only available on line I believe.

Hope you all have a great day regardless of the result !


Good Luck Trinity

Well I've a few knots in my stomach this morning I'm not going to lie , today is a really big deal for the club and of course our long suffering fans , this is an opportunity to get that Wembley monkey off our backs and give ourselves the opportunity to win a trophy , the first that we hope will be many and it starts today with this big semi final .

Defeat today will be tough to take , let's do our bit on those terraces and try and ensure it doesn't happen .

It's going to be emotional .

Woke up feeling confident. I think it'll be harder than the first game, the smaller pitch will probably mean it's won in the forwards but that's where our strengths are. Wakefield by 20.

Sky bet have us at 1/25 to win this game Bradford are 8/1

Bradford are getting 24start on the coupon

Walmsley is 13/8 to score a brace

Griffin is 18/1 to score first Max is 9/1

You would hope that we've been training on a pitch marked out to the same dimensions as Odd Smell. The last thing we want to do is boot the kick off straight out or give away 7 tackle sets on a short pitch

They've only been training up to the 20 metre line, touchline to touchline.

All joking apart , what a farce the game has become to allow clubs to play on pitches that don't meet the rules on dimensions.
