Premiership comes first to me. But losing those Grand Finals was like losing a Big Cup final and these games take longer to get over so I'd prefer not to go through that pain again.

Having lived all my life so far in Australia and being immersed in the culture of finals, for me a Grand Final win is it. It's nice to win the Premiership, but for me the job's not finished then. In this country, the GF winner is the team that's remembered. We all remember (even those like me who didn't follow football then) the GF between Smurfs and CCM in season 1, but who honestly remembers who was Premier that year?
The other thing about a finals series is that it gives an exciting finish to a season which can otherwise be over weeks before the last round - like last year and potentially this year. The biggest crowd for the season at Suncorp was on GF day.
For me, and for many more Australians like me, give me finals. I couldn't care less about being the most consistent team through the season, I want to win the Grannie.

For me personally winning the Premiership is the most important. It truly shows who the best team is and is just reward for the effort put in throughout the season proper. The finals series only exists because that is how it has been done in other sports in this country since the beginning and for some reason we followed along. Don't get me wrong though, I am desperate for us to win a Grand Final. I have been at all three so far and I have felt the pain of the defeats. At this point in time I think it is more important for the club and the players to get the monkey off the back and win the GF. No reason we can't do both
