Quote: "If you look at the RFL Distribution of Prize Money, finishing 9th and winning the Shield would get us two lots of prize money which put together would add up to more than the teams in 7th and 8th will recieve.'"
The League 1 Shield : The bottom eight teams in League 1 at the end of the regular season compete for the League 1 Shield. They each play each other once after which the teams finishing the season in first and second place contest the League 1 Shield Final, to be hosted by the team finishing first.
So, if I've got this right, if we beat Oxford next week then the season is over, as it is for any team in 6th, 7th or 8th position but if we loose and North Wales win then the season continues with the League 1 shield a possibility of 8 games. What I said earlier "a crazy crazy way to run a sport". Its not just prize money, it's continuing the season, it's the beginning of July and a long time until the new season starts again, what February? phing ridiculous.
