League Winners Shield or Grand Final Winners : Fri Aug 09, 2013 10:30 pm  

If you could choose just one trophy what you you choose the League Winners Shield or Grand Final Winners I guess I will be in the minority but I will choose the League Winners Shield it will be our first since we have reformed.

Looking at the table we can even possibly afford to loose against Featherstone by 12 points or less and still be League Winners at least baring a bizarre combination of results we are now guaranteed a home route throughout the playoffs

Probably the grand final if I had to choose one or the other. Everyone remembers the 'champions' I've no idea who topped the SL table last season (either Wigan or Warrington I think) but I know for a fact Leeds won at OT.

I would love to finish top what an achievement it would be
But a GF day out doesn't get much better

i'll take both, nothing like sitting on the fence

Obviously the Grand Final. Win that and you're champions.

Finish top of the league and you've won the third most important trophy of the three.

I am very surprised you put the Northern Rail Cup above being League Winners IMHO it has always been a bit of a nothing cup I have no idea who won it last year but I know Featherstone were League Winners

Obviously losing the NRC was dissapointing but finishing top would be the bigger achievement for us this season out of the two, I know a fair few who just did not care for the NRC

Rail Cup winners used to qualify you to apply for $uperleague, winning the league didn't.

Personally, I don't see the play-offs as a separate tournament. It's the climax to the league season.

CHARLIE KNOWS , how he felt when the Leythers lifted the NRC and the Prize money was a few quid , im not sure about the Prize money for finishing top, or winning the GF , again it must be a few quid , but as you seagulls KNOW its not where you finish in the League , its IF you win the GF , as we at Leigh know ,WINNERS are Grinners .
