Submitting GET form doesn't trigger route

So i have a very strange problem occurring at the moment where i have a form that that submits as POST and triggers the route fine, whereas if the the form submits as GET it does not get triggered. It is just the strangest thing, in its simplified form the code looks like:

Works

route:

route::post('/contributions/finalise', [ 'as' => 'contributions.finalise', 'uses' => function() {
    dd('i get output');
}]);

form:

{!! Form::open(['route' => 'contributions.finalise', 'method' => 'POST']) !!}

    {!! Form::input('hidden','amount', null, ['id' => "contribute-amount"]) !!}

    <button type="submit">Submit</button>

{!! Form::close() !!}

Doesn't work

route:

route::get('/contributions/finalise', [ 'as' => 'contributions.finalise', 'uses' => function() {
    dd('i DONT get output, only a white screen is shown.');
}]);

form:

{!! Form::open(['route' => 'contributions.finalise', 'method' => 'GET']) !!}

    {!! Form::input('hidden','amount', null, ['id' => "contribute-amount"]) !!}

    <button type="submit">Submit</button>

{!! Form::close() !!}

As you can see they are very similar but the GET just doesn't work? Am i missing something really basic here?

Thanks for your help

I don't think there is, here is my routes

<?php
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Application Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register all of the routes for an application.
| It's a breeze. Simply tell Laravel the URIs it should respond to
| and give it the controller to call when that URI is requested.

*/

//Route::get('/', 'WelcomeController@index');

/* Pages */

Route::get('/', 'PagesController@landing');
Route::get('/howItWorks', 'PagesController@howItWorks');

/* People */

Route::resource('users', 'UsersController');
Route::resource('celebrities', 'CelebritiesController');

/* Likes */

Route::resource('users.likes', 'Likes\UserLikesController');
Route::resource('celebrities.likes', 'Likes\CelebrityLikesController');

/* Contributions */

Route::resource('users.contributions', 'Contributions\UserContributionsController');
Route::resource('celebrities.contributions', 'Contributions\CelebrityContributionsController');
Route::resource('contributions', 'Contributions\ContributionsController');

Route::get('/users/{id}/contributions/finalise', [ 'as' => 'users.contributions.finalise', 'uses' => 'Contributions\UserContributionsController@finalise']);
Route::get('/celebrities/{id}/contributions/finalise', [ 'as' => 'celebrities.contributions.finalise', 'uses' => 'Contributions\CelebrityContributionsController@finalise']);


route::get('/contributions/finalise', [ 'as' => 'contributions.finalise', 'uses' => function() {
    dd('????');
}]);
/* Auth */

Route::controllers([
    'auth' => 'Auth\AuthController',
    'password' => 'Auth\PasswordController',
]);

Route::get('/confirm/verify/{confirmationCode}', 'UsersController@confirm');
Route::get('/confirm/not-confirmed', 'UsersController@notConfirmed');
Route::post('/confirm/resend-email', [ 'as' => 'confirm.resend', 'uses' => 'UsersController@resendEmail']);

route::get('/loginRedirect', function() {
    return Redirect::to('/users/' . Auth::id());
});

/* Leaderboard */

Route::get('/leaderboard/users', [ 'as' => 'leaderboard.uses', 'uses' => 'UsersController@leaderboard']);

/* Instagram */

Route::get('/feeds/instagram/{how_many}', 'InstagramFeedController@get');

/* Sharing/Nominating */

Route::get('/nomination/facebook', 'SharingNominatingController@showNomination');
Route::get('/nomination/twitter', 'SharingNominatingController@showTwitterNomination');
Route::post('/share/sendMail', [ 'as' => 'share.sendMail', 'uses' =>'SharingNominatingController@shareViaMail']);

/* Searching */

Route::get('/search', [ 'as' => 'search', 'uses' => 'SearchController@showSearch']);
Route::post('/search/perform', [ 'as' => 'search.perform', 'uses' => 'SearchController@performSearch']);

Even without the form, just navigation http://localhost:8888/contributions/finalise displays a plain white screen no errors no output
