I'm sure Eamonn Mcmanus said last year that losing a CC semi is a lot worse than a playoff semi as the rewards for Wembley are twice that of Old Trafford.

When we put 60 on you at a canter.
Now sit down and play with your toys

does anyone remember when they used to print the CC prize money for each round in the match programmes ??? do they still do that?

Would imagine it will be split between the two clubs,the RFL and the NRL. The CC final and GF both get crowds of 70-odd thousand though and the WCC gets less than half that crowd so it is hardly likely to make up the difference between the gate money for the comparative domestic finals. A losing CC final appearance will still make more for a club than winning the GF and appearing in the WCC.
