There is still no real reward for finishing top of Super League apart from a semi final play off place.
Surely at least give a grand final place to the League winners.

To be fair that could work the other way, if the league leaders got a by to final then they may be cold for the final when their opponent have had a tough playoff game to get them in the mood. Saints for example could have the league leaders shield wrapped up tonight, then not face a competitive game for a month.

Your speaking from a fans point of view, pretty sure the players think winning the league leaders shield is a reward

No i am thinking from a clubs point of view.
There should be more financial gain and if a major increase in money is not available then the league Champions should automatically be rewarded with a place in the Grand Final.

I'd rather we get 6 from Toronto. The focus should be on the home side attracting 400 more home fans, and Toronto getting 8k to 10k for their home games compared to Halifax and feath getting 2k

Sides shouldn't rely on away support, it can be sporadic and can fluctuate. Focus on attracting and retaining home support

Toronto averaged 3.5k paying customers in 2017.
