I knew there was some form of money guarantee but wasn,t sure how much, the Giants would need 8000 to 10000 fans to break even, think Saints made over 150K profit on the game last year. Johnny Vegas no doubt will offer a couple of his properties in Thatto Heath to accommodate some of the aussie players to cut down club expenditure.

If he gets full Chris Joynt can help out with his Parr empire of houses.

More than likely be Leeds, Wigan and ourselves. Good crowds guaranteed , all multiple championship winning sides, easy sell of tickets.
Love us to host St.George one day!

Wire seem to think it's them getting the third spot.

Wire fans only commenting on what's been reported on NRL Scoop twitter feed earlier today.

Warrington can have the game for me. I'd rather us win a trophy for the honour of playing in the world club series. Taking a hand me down from Huddersfield feels a bit like being handed a Black Forest gateau but finding out Johnny Wellies has licked the spoon.

If all 3 Huddersfield fans turned up they would still make a loss. A big empty stadium would look shocking on TV and it's not an image the game wants to project

They certainly are

I hope we fare better than earlier this year.

The RFL are seeing the club with the right credentials. Its a 40 year anniversary match up between the two teams as well. superleague.co.uk/article/33177/ ... WzsR1lf.99

Who is to say it would be poorly supported, plenty of neutrals would come to see the NRL minor premiers.
And another point some teams have to have big stadiums so the RFL can host big games. Even Saints average support would look lost at our place.
And another thing if the Roosters thrash Saints which is very likely, that`s not an image to project.

The neutrals argument is completely null, because it's as applicable at LP as it is Huddersfield. To think 10k+ neutrals will turn to make it look full is ambitious to the point of obtuse.

Regardless of the result (and given Huddersfield record at playoff level, I'd of thought you'd of been cautious of bringing up "well if your stuffed..."), it will be a celebration of the 40th anniversary of the same fixture as the very first wcc.
