it really was not, cas fans the vast majority genuinely believed it was going to be procession, and as my whole family most of friends are cas fans and i live in that area, i can say that for a fact. maybe the players did not but psychologically maybe they were not as switched on and did not believe Leeds had a big performance in them, and when it came did not handle it.
My view was based on the Cas fans who post on here & those I know. I don't do any other websites or social media so have not seen an alternative view. Even though a good majority of Cas fans on Clearwing's link predict a Cas victory i wouldn't call it an expected procession. As regards the players, i think they had started to lose their self belief before the semi, which we were lucky to win. The Zak issue exacerbated the doubts in their minds, together with a crap Cas & an excellent Leeds start put the nails in the coffin. I think Powell & the team have handled this season much better, though i am never confident going to Wigan.
I am relieved you live & associate with more intellectual types however.
