Yes it is.
The SL only scratches the surface of revenue the club can make from the cc.

I guess we're both right for different reasons.
One stature the other purse.

And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_53838.jpg |

When you start playing for money and not for the kudos of being able to call yourself Champions, then you know things have gone wrong...  |

The challenge cup is fantastic to win, but the grand final is the ultimate prize, so wake up TS and stop resting players.

Ratchford out of position! WTF?
Correct me if I'm incorrect but a game like last nights has cost us top spot the last two years for not fielding a stronger side
Why oh why rest a centre/ winger jees the workload is a lot less than any pack player
TS shows a lack of respect for widnes , a terrace full of wire fans and a team selection that could have been stronger
Every year we lose games that on form we should win and this defeat will cost us dear at the back end , a top 4 is going to be difficult with our run in .
The thread moaning about Roy A is a waste of time , there were far more players that under performed last night but no critics for them
Yes he's not what we expected but players like Paul Wood are well past their SL best and played p... poor as well as England , Russell . Ormsby to name a few
I do believe that we will be ready for the play offs but I don't think we will reach any finals this year.'"
Sorry, but it just doesn't happen like that.
What is my next most important game ?: Leeds CC semi
What side do I need ?: My most experienced and in form players
How do I ensure they are available, injury free and relatively fresh?
The Widnes game is not irrelevant, Smith would have chosen a side that he thought capable of getting the points, but with a view to resting the players he needs for Leeds, and avoiding playing those that risked injury on the 'plastic fantastic'. SL is simply a knock out competition, yes it is better to be higher placed, but not essential. Having your best players fresh and available certainly is though. |

I think a visit to Old Trafford is likened to the ultimate prize because sky have styled it that way .

Agreed 9A
fans and ex players with the age of 35+ will most likely never swap their day out at Wembley for old Trafford. Yes I want us to win both but faced with a choice it's always the cc for me.

Nobby, whilst I was extremely disappointed with last night's result and hate losing to Widnes more than anything.
TS picked a team that was both good enough to win and rested players/gave runs out where needed for experience and injury rehab. IMO The best chance of winning the "ultimate prize", the Grand Final will be because of this rather than in spite of it.
Keep the faith |

Exactly. Had we gone to Wembley and lost two years on the run there would be endless threads on here about the seats being uncomfortable and how a local venue would be much better. |

Nobody said that, it's ok to lose to widnes because in the grand scheme of things it doesn't diminish our chances of winning silverware this season.
