What is the Minor Premiership worth?

[nathanbrown'sghost]

I don't mean in terms of how it works. I know that. I mean how much money is it worth these days if you win the minor premiership. Also how much is the prize for lifting the trophy at years end? Someone asked me yesterday and I realised I had no idea anymore.

minor premiers get the JJ Giltinan Shield and $100,000

dont know how much money for winning the grand final

Which is outrageous. It should be $500K and two shots at getting into the GF. That is why the McIntyre Final 8 system sucks.

100k in todays climate is SFA..

 

[nathanbrown'sghost]

I seem to remember hearing it was $100,000 back in the 90's. Has the prize not increased since then?

 

[Paullyboy]

I remember hearing that it was $100k and thought that it seemed ridiculously low. That would cover the salary of two U20's players for a year.

Should be worth a hell of a lot more these days

buys nothing and sh*tty reward for being the best team for 6 months of a 7 month season

this is what it is worth.

100k
plus
a home final against a team who really shouldn't be there.
A week off
A game at a neutral ground ( sort of )1 loss and your out.

or come in 2nd
A home final against team who really shouldn't be there.
A game at a neutral ground - if you lose you get a 2nd chance.
Then another crack at it after getting the luxury of a warm up game the week before.

seems crazy
1st place can lose 1 game and they are gonski.
but come 2nd and you can afford to lose one game.

100k is a joke considering the 7's prize money when they brought that back was 100k

Say what carch? Doesn't sound right, or I'm not reading it right. The 2nd team gets a week off as well

yeah you are right

If they win they do get the 2nd week off but if they lose week one they get another chance.

BUt if the MP's win week one they have a week off and do not get the luxury of a 2nd bite from then on in.

 

[Mr Angry]

The difference between first and second is the money (100K, you perhaps buy one boot for your top player)and nothing else.

 

[Manly Mick]

I think the GF winners get $400,000

 

[Timbo]

$100,000 pays for a pretty decent piss-up after the season...

Which is really all it's worth - who gives a sh*t if you win the minor these days? It's not first past the post anymore. Grand Finals are all people care about, and the money is handed out accordingly.

 

[Raider_69]

Its 100K and is usually spread out evenly amongst the playing group as abit of a bonus... So each player in the top 25 may get 4k each. Buys them a new TV, entertainment system, etc... not much, but not to shabby

7 years on and the minor premiership is still worth $100 000. The Melbourne Storm owner Matthew Tripp has slammed the paltry amount. He also suggest that the AFL makes it more worth while for clubs to do well in the finals, and the NRL won't be taken seriously till it matches the money.

However AFL does not offer any amount for their minor premiership. Tripp also makes the same point as posters on this forum that $100 000 does not go a long way for a club.

Clubs get more for just showing up to the 9s.

Winning team ($AUD370,000), runner-up ($AUD240,000), semi-finalists ($AUD165,000), quarter-finalists ($AUD130,000) and round robin losers ($AUD110,000).

Why does it need bigger "prize money" exactly? What does the NRL gain out of it?

Its an achievement but thats about it. Noone remembers who won the MP

 

[The Mad Hatter]

The cost for brown paper bags and boats is exorbitant in Melbourne.

Poor blighters.

Jokes aside clubs should be financially rewarded for their position on the table and the NRL stipulates half goes to club and the other half divided amongst the playing squad.

And finals seeds should be paid according to how they finish too.

Who gives a f**k what the afl give. Christ, this Tripp bloke be trippen if he thinks anyone cares what afl do.
