Wigan losing last night will result in reduced attendances for the last games of those who were in the relegation chase as these are "nothing" matches . Together with the fact that there is no last game chase for the title means a pointless series of matches. It would be interesting to see this years last game attendances compared to last year.

If ever there was an argument for P and R in rugby league to improve attendances this is it.

A good point but two of the games are important for Champions League qualifications and in the other eight there is the 'last home game' syndrome.

And don't they divvy the money up, on a sliding scale, based on final league placings?

aye, they do.

Going up one place is worth £800,000
