I think to qualify for a ring you have to have played a certain amount of games throughout the season....i could be wrong though!

I think that the squad named for the final all get one but the club buy the rest of the squad one

I think 17 are given. And one for coach.
Don't think any more are made

I always thought it wasn’t just the finalist players who got a ring.
If it is just them then that’s stupid because it means the playoffs and resulting GF winners have won a separate competition and it’s supposed to be the culmination of a season’s efforts not two games!

I always thought the whole team who have contributed throughout the season were rewarded with a medal same a I feel they should for the Challenge Cup.
But I will try & find out about the rings.

It's an interesting one this. I'd assumed that it was only the 17 who played on the day got a ring but that would mean that a player could play a major role in the season e.g. Byrne and not get a ring. On the other hand you may get somebody who's drafted in at the last minute, as nearly happened with Hill, who gets a ring. You could also argue that Hill played in the semi and if we'd not won that we wouldn't have been in the final or that Dupree 'only' played in nine games but was essential in our winning the competition. I'm not sure where I'd draw the line e.g. what if 5-6 youngsters had been given one start in a game when we'd rested most of the first team? I suppose the fairest thing would be to get a ring for everybody who'd played first team that season but does that devalue the ring? Would you sometimes get a situation where a player didn't think they deserved a ring?
