Happen they will be - but you talk as though no-one bothered about being top of the league last year - or will bother about winning the GF this year. |

Griff you know as well as do , last season finishing Top wasn't that important , it was all about your run in the Play-offs , ours at Leigh being terrible as usual .However this coming year the Funding being so important , it is imperative to finish in the Top 2 , the teams that don't will find themselves at a big disadvantage , at least £300,000 ,and get less depending on your League position .
We at Leigh haven't experienced a GF Win , or even a GF appearance for a few years , but you Eagles have , and will know the money rewards at stake , im sure they are NOTHING like the reported £550.000 ,on offer for finishing in the Top 2 ,ask your own Tubbs what he would prefer finishing in the Top 2 , or a GF win , Charlie knows the answer . |

Charlie - the players try to win every game. They'll go for the league and, once that's over, they'll go for the Grand Final. There'll be no "I'd rather win this than that" at this stage of the season. |

Griff ,I know all the Players go out to win every game , if they didn't it would be pointless taking the field , my point is SOME games will be more important this season , im sure you agree the League Positioning comes first ?If you finish in the Top 2 you receive around £550,000, and fractions less as you finish further down the League , what do you get for Winning the GF ?Around £50,000 ?Give me a Top 2 Finish anyday , then worry about the Play-offs after .Tubbs knows  and so does Charlie .  |

Well, hold your horses, Charlie. There's a couple of meetings to go before it's all confirmed.
I take your point - but in practice it means nothing. You're not going to deliberately throw your GF series games to give you a better chance of winning the league, are you ?

Definatley not Griff , but as the GF play -offs come after the League games your priorities are the League , as for the Meetings , I may be a bit ahead , but I thought it had all been agreed , in this weeks League Express , it even states the Prize money for where you finish , and how much you get .  .Surely the RFL HAVE NOT MADE THAT UP ?

If the prize money is based on were you finish then they should scrap the play-offs as they have no relevance unlike last year were the grand final winners got more mney the League winners.

They've published their proposals, not their decision.

Gates are poor enough in the play-offs without giving them another kick in the teeth. |

There must be some kind of incentive to win the final as well though? Have the RFL thought that far yet?

Well, one would think so. But - hey - this is Rugby League.  |

Don't think for one minute Warrington will let Swinton go down.All 3 trys on Sunday were scored by Wolves players,last season Swinton were bottom with 6 games to go then a big influx of Wolves players saw them escape.
