ATM we start building pressure and start looking like we will dominate and then give away a silly penalty switching it onto the back foot. happened god knows how many times today.

Not in 2004 though.

The winners that year were Leeds Rhinos, (whoop whoop), now what do I win?

THough Ali had a good game. Always looking to offload, but only gave ity when on.

A pity about the occasion it looked on around the 50th minute, straight to the Castleford player in the Leeds half.

Four minutes later failing to find touch from a relieving penalty award.

Just how much defensive practice did Leeds want to do tonight?

Thank gawd the discipline improved after half time.

I thought it was a good game - plenty of passion and the conditions made it tense.

I thought it was an awful, error strewn game, possibly due to the conditions, with an exciting finish.

From a Leeds POV the rugby, ball in hand, was garbage.

The majority of the Leeds team are thick. Constantly doing stupid things, i wish the coach would drill some common sense into them and get them to understand how to play to the conditions and ref, stupid errors, plays and penalties given away.

They have taken on the persona of their coach and play far too emotionally.

Nest thing he'll be getting Matt Adamson to give the pre match pep talk and fir them up.

Leeds were pretty good in the first fifteen.

Error and penalty free (which is a rarity for them this season) then Hall knocked on for Jones to score Cas' first and shambolic Leeds returned to give us an exciting contest with an unexpected finish.

We cannot seem to play the full 80 at the moment.

Its difficult to play (or expect) Champagne rugby in a monsoon - you get a different kind of game where mistakes will be made and scores will almost certainly be close hence an exciting spectacle and a passionate crowd*.

I'd certainly take that over a try fest exhibition match.
