If your not cheating, your not trying. Barrie Mcdermott:icons3ae4_files/4541-162reymo-msnicons.jpg



Quote: mikej "So we know that Leeds and Wigan are 2 of the 3 teams to qualify for next years WCC. The third choice comes down to the RFL. Who will they pick?

Saints finished second to Leeds in the regular season so would stake a claim.

We all know though that RL is all about the situation at the end of the playoffs, and Huddersfield finished above Saints.

Saint Helens V "australian" would probably have a bigger draw.

If you believe the talk from last year would the RFL give the game to the team who "turned it down" (they actually were never asked)

Warrington won their place last year on "post playoff standing". On consistency surely they should be offered it to the giants.

OR will they throw a complete curve ball and offer it to the CC losers ............
Wigan still have a shot but technically only Leeds qualify so far. the spots this year are

CC WINNERS
HUB CAP WINNER
GF WINNER

Does anyone really expect the RFL to make a logical sensible decision?
Most clueless inept governing body in any sport

Huddersfield. Makes sense to most of us

If its 'rfl choice' and an RFL competition the RFL should be underwriting it, promoting it, and governing it.

But as is Nigel Woods plan, the RFL want all the plaudits if it is successful, and none of the responsibility for making it so. The only reason there is a question of whether its Huddersfield or someone else is because of the RFL and their desperation to have no responsibility for anything.

This should be an RFL competition, marketed by the rfl, underwritten by the RFL, played at Neutral venues, played by the 3 highest finishing clubs in the RFL competitions.

But it isnt. So we get what we had last year, 3 games played in front of full houses at small stadiums with 3 clubs needing to milk every penny to cover costs they had to underwrite and no thought or investment in growing it.

82k watched England RU last night, almost certainly we wont play the WCC in three stadiums that could possibly beat that total cumulatively.

The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you. Welsby-Dodd-Simms-Eaves-Rizzelli, not Eastmond...the future is coming.:Dwarfs, Gnomes, Halflings/GNOME2.JPG



The third game might historically develop into a "made up" one anyway and its only the winners of SL and NRL that really mattersWarrington (5) v St George (11)

As a Saints fan I'd love us to be involved again in 2016, but it's only fair that Huddersfield get the shout.

why not have a play off between the losing semi finalists to determine who plays in it and call it the £180k game or sumat icon_smile.gif

Quote: Mr Churchill "We shouldn't have to ask the question as to who the RFL will select.

This "we'll make it up as we go along" approach by the top brass at RFL HQ has to stop. There are at least 2 of them not fit to remain and I guess they were probably involved in setting the criteria for who is involved in the World Club Series.

They should have included a further criterion. I.e. "If the above criteria do not lead to 3 teams being identified, the third team to be involved in the World Club Series shall be the team finishing the season the next highest in the Super League table."

Everyone would then have known where they stood. The criteria they did manage to set leads to Leeds and Wigan being in the WCS. The criterion they should have set leads to the third team being Huddersfield. No debate needed.'"


Doesn't even need to be as difficult as that. You just set an order of who gets selected, and if one club qualifies under two categories, go to the next category. It's easy really.

1. Grand Final winners (WCC)
2. League Leaders
3. Challenge Cup winners
4. Grand Final runner-up
5. 2nd in league
6. 3rd in league

It really is simple.

Personally I would say HKR deserve it on merit as they got to the CC final but they would be hammered so for the sake of a good match I would give the 3rd match to Saints.

Mummy duck is now thoroughly depressed. SHE was the one that was famous for losing five in a row........until the 2011 GF!!!!!:

And its already confirmed that if the LLS winners win the GF then the GF runners up take the place. If Leeds win, Wigan get the runners up slot. If Wigan win they get the winners slot

There's a post on our forum that says we (Saints) are playing Sydney Roosters on 19th February. Note sure how true that is.

so its saints who get the nod

pretty disappointing as it seems a format for those who can afford it and those who cant!

if its a bond that clubs have to pay out and get back, why cant the RFL go 50/50?

If the Huddersfield from last weeks game showed up against the Souths that played Saints it would have been a cricket score.
