Wasn't he injured for the 86 Final, and was the main reason Hull KR lost? Can't remember if he was out, or just not fit. But underdogs or not that was why Cas ended up winning. Millar was a great player.

IIRC he played, but virtually on one leg. Think Senior in 2005, only much worse.

Thought that was what it was. He was so influential to them, and the unfit bit was why Cas beat them on the day.

I don't care if Rovers lose by 50, the fact we got there will do for me, the build up and the day is as important to me as the game.

I will stand and applaud the leeds team with the cup as the rugby they have played for the last few years is a joy to watch.

I will shake the hands of every Leeds fan i bump into and wish them a safe journey home, we don't stand a chance but I'm gonna enjoy it anyway!

Yorkshire final like the good old Yorkshire cup days!

Ryan Hall first try scorer and Leeds to win by 20!

There won't be a dry eye in the house.
Such an improvement over Bernard Cribbins.
Well done RFL.
Good luck Lizzie you deserve it.

Some things I bet on.

Leeds in a CC Final isn't one of them.

By the end of his KR career in the late 80's, he did so much for them, I think I saw him selling programmes and manning a turnstile.
