The grand final is the biggest and means the most nowadays. It's the game that everyone remembers the following season, gives you the tag of champions and allows you to wind opposition fans up with regardless of form and it gets you a place in the WCC. That's an even bigger incentive next year IMO with it being hosted down under.

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? eusa_whistle.gif

Quote: Jukesays "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.
