I suppose the real issue is not should they be allowed to play finals but why should some clubs get special consideration to even come into the league over others. If you can't afford the same fees then either BA and WNBL have to say no, or they equalise the fees across the board so that they can afford to pay. Let's face it if they can bankroll one or two clubs the full amount, doesn't it not make more sense and make a fair and equatable playing field if the costs were reduced for all teams to one they could afford. If they can't even afford a much reduced fee then they really have no right to be putting a team in.
