When you add in merchandising, future sponsorhsip and season tickets etc, being "Champions" has to be worth a LOT more than the CC. Given the small crowds through most of the playoffs I'd be surprised if there were much to divide amongst 14 clubs once costs are taken out - I'd be stunned if half the playoff games didn't make a loss.

Wasn't just the poor defence though. Some of the unstructured attack yesterday reminded me of the Catalans semi-final under Noble. Finch was throwing passes as though he was in a 7's tournament. |

Wane should be a tackling pad himself for a while. Another one that has seemingly escaped any criticism. |

Ive mentioned in another thread that some of Finch's passes were crazy! This was mainly due to our attack being stood so flat though and he had no running options. This was also apparent in the amount of times he was tackled with the ball in hand because he couldnt find a runner. I dont care how much the players say they were desperate to win the CC again and how much they wanted to go back to Wembley the lack of enthusiasm shown says different. |

28 points scored should have been enough. Offhand, I can only remember 3 times we've conceded more than that. It was primarily individual errors that cost us, rather than any overall structure. |

Any coach of any team could say that about any points conceded. It is very rare indeed that points are scored where no individual can have an element of responsibility attached.
The teams which win reduce those individual errors to a minimum. |

True, but many tries are scored through a poor defensive structure, rather than individual errors. That wasn't the case yesterday. |

He said more or less the exact opposite last season. |

I agree with you mate, Warrington didn't get enough rewards for being Champions last season, Leeds got more for winning that end of season mickey mouse that the top sides didn't take seriously and got knocked straight out of! It should have been us that got all the prize money. |
