| Quote DGM="DGM"Totally agree.
If you asked me this time last year, I'd have said the same as Armavinit for the same sentimental reasons - the multiple failed attempts to win at Wembley. Now we've finally put that to bed, the priority has to be to become Champions.
It's the hardest comp to win. You have to firstly ensure that early season form is good enough to get in the 8 after the 23round cut-off, then you have to battle it out in 7 more games against the best sides to make sure you get the top4, then a semi-final and grand final. There's an added bonus of being able to compete to become World Club Champions.
I disagree with Armavinit that the GF is a contrived concept, it's Rugby League's traditional way of crowning a champion, baring a few intermittent seasons, dating back to what 1900(?). Maybe it's mainly those introduced to RL during those seasons where top spot meant the champion who feel this way, or maybe they look at what they do in Football?'"
Yeh and look how exciting the end to the premier league season was!!!! Boring

Yeh, exactly. I just wasn't sure whether the system they use in football was something some people were more use to, hence the apathy towards the playoff/GF.

| Maybe us fans may not be too bothered about going back to Wembley but tell that to the players, coaches and Pearson! If it helps bring in more revenue I'm all for another trip down to Wembley (plus no excuse from the rfl if we win it again and qualify for the GF and a aussie game)

I don't think anyone's said they aren't bothered about getting to Wembley, just that in their opinion they think the GF should be the main focus.

Again, I'm not sure anyone has said they shouldn't try to win both comps.

I don't think they are.
I said the GF should IMO be their priority (as I feel it's more prestigious), not that it should be only focus. It's not a case of one vs the other. If I have a list of stuff to get done, I don't just do the top one and sack off the rest of the list.

| Pearson once said that Wembley final brings in more money than the grand final. Isn't it great at the moment we can talk about finals and be genuine contenders

| Id be happy to win either, don't think we are at the level yet, where a cup win of any kind is looked down upon.

| If we won silverware this season and I had to choose between which one then the GF would be my preference. It would also be great to see a team win at OT other than leeds/Wigan/saints/Bradford
