Well, after 67% 1st half possession and much territorial advantage yet only a 12 pts advantage at HT I did wonder if Leeds hadn't done just enough, had Cas used up too much defensive juice ? I feared a runaway 2nd half, but credit both teams on a great 2nd half, thoroughly entertaining. Ryan Hall was never M.O.M. ever, there were far more industrious players on the park on both sides. Not a bad input from the match officials, though why Bentham got the gig i'll never know. I don't remember him going to the screen either, that must be a first !
But what about all those empty seats, DISGRACE for our cup final, unless the attendance was between 55,000 & 60,000 i just won't believe it.
Congratulations to the golden boys of Leeds, Sinfield must be laughing his socks off with his 2 match ban, he now owns a winners medal at last.
