THE biggest match in rugby league has arrived with Castleford set to take on Leeds in the Super League Grand Final.
A brilliant individual display from Luke Gray fired the Tigers into the final in the most dramatic fashion possible against St Helens.
Just 16 days after having his appendix removed, the scrum-half scored a try and drop goals to hand Castleford a 20-10 lead with 16 minutes left.
And when Saints responded with three late tries, Gray was on hand to kick a last ditch penalty before winning the match with a golden point drop goal in extra time.
Leeds were also made to sweat in their semi-final against Hull FC.
The Rhinos threw away a 12-0 lead to trail 16-12 going into the last 20 minutes.
But Liam Sutcliffe weaved through a string of Hull defenders to score the winning try on 62 minutes as Leeds secured a place in their 11th Grand Final.
