from the championship website, it says the winner of the championship recieves £100,000. Is this awarded for finishing top or winning the grand final?
100k would do us nicely if we were to keep this up and do it

Winning the grand final. Why would you ever think that you would be rewarded for coming top. This is Rugby League!

thats bull

no its RFL rules.......oh yes you was right.

.... and, correct me if I'm wrong here, but I don't think finishing top even ticks a box for an SL license, does it?

What, that the prize money for winning the championship, should go to the team that wins the champioinship? Seems fair to me.

it depends whether you interperet 'winning' the championship as being the team that finishes at the top of the league. which i feel should be the case.

otherwise something like a 'golden point' could cost the club dearly

You may well feel that. But it's not the case. It is the case that the team that wins the title is the team that wins the GF. The team that finishes top of the table gets a nice but meaningless pot. We've got one stuffed away somewhere, but it doesn't compare to the two NL1 championship trophies we've got



Giving the prize money to the team that finishes top of the table would be like giving the 100m Olympic gold to the runner in front at 90m, whether or not they cross the line first or fall over before reaching it.

how big is the nice but meaningless pot?
i understand them wanting to big up the grand final but id have nightmares over such a large amount of money being lost over the bounce of a ball, or a bed refereeing performance

quite small – almost insignificant

Nope, NRC win or GF appearance only.

How much cash do you get for the nrc?
