[quote="Headingley Rhino"]Great win yesterday at our place, there is no denying you are probably the best team in SL as you have proved it all year so I think it's justice done that you have got to Old Trafford. I thought wigan was excellent in the second half and showed why you guys are top dogs this year.: |

It's the only one that matters to most commentators (for reference, see Sky's references for the past 2 years to the 5th best team in the league as "The Champions"icon_wink.gif.
I would love to say the Challenge Cup, but it seems to have lost some of the magic for some unknown reason.
As for the LLS - Whilst that *SHOULD* be to most highly prized (as it is - theoretically at least - the hardest to win) - It appears to be utterly dismissed and not even counted as a trophy.
For reference, see the numerous BBC references, all the way through the CC buildup this year, to Wigan's "trophyless" 2012.
It's wrong. Most people acknowledge it as wrong, but it doesn't matter a jot if the public perception (spoon-fed by the media) is that it doesn't count.'"
Couldn't agree more
Really riles me the disrespect winning the league is given |

Winning GF is brilliant when you also (win) finish top of the league. 2010 was incredible! Finishing 5th isn't credible enough for me, GF or no GF. CC is just great if your in the final, otherwise it's sadly sidelined. Obviously holds a special place for Wigan though! I for one felt the magic when the final hooter went in the semi. She wore, she wore...

| Quote: Dougy "It would be interesting to see a season where to win the Championship you had to finish top. Just to see if the intensity would go up a level week on week. I think it would do, and IMO the playoffs are the reason regular season games don't seem as good as they used to.'"
The intensity would lift initially, but once a team knows they're out of the running, which would happen to some before halfway through the season, where's their motivation? I'd be releasing the guys who we weren't keeping for next season early and giving the fringe players lots of game time. That doesn't exactly make for a high intensity game |

Maybe if 2 were relegated and there was money at stake dependant on league positions?  |

Then we're back into the problem of yo-yo clubs. Might not be as much of an issue in Championship I suppose. Having said that, it still wouldn't fix it. There will be plenty of clubs that know fairly early they won't get relegated and won't finish top.
