I can't see past a win for you guys at the moment. I don't think either team's in particularly great form of late and our defence at times has been shocking. Add to that our apparent inability to win games at home (4 of our 5 defeats have been there). That said, anything could happen and hopefully our lot will prove me wrong.

Always. Even a big gay bear hug wouldn't go amiss.

Were Leeds that good or were Wigan that poor? Same can be asked of Les Catalans in Murrayfield.

WRT to Catalan we were that good but, IMO, only because we suffered no real adversity in the 1st half.

As soon as we did in the 2nd our confidence nose-dived and our flair went out of the window.

When Leeds were 'that good' they still made ten errors. Les Catalans, for reasons only they can explain, played the half with a passenger on the field. When they sorted that out at half time it was a different Catalans side after the break. The Leeds errors continued to flow with another thirteen.

Twenty three errors, including penalties conceded, has been a season long issue and regardless of results remains so at this point.

Usually form goes out of the window for Cas' Grand Final. Usual fair expected, they like to score points, we like to keep trys out. That defensive edge we have should see us home, but if it turns into a try frenzy (which is likely), Cas could easily pinch it. It anyones for me.

How is this Castleford’s Grand Final?

If I remember Castleford have played in a fair few grand finals (2005, 2007)over the last five years and no I haven’t been in a coma since the sixes which was probably Castleford’s most successful decade!

I wont be watching this game as I’ve been invited out to yet another birthday party. But I look forward to a brilliant spectacle of rugby league on repeat at midnight.

Leeds win.

It's not my cup final just because Leeds are at The Jungle on Friday night. Anyone can win this one. We only have won two home league games this season whilst Leeds have not been their usual selves from the last 2 - 3 seasons.
