Saints are in single digits on their website, but who knows how many the RFL have in reserve on their 3 game package??? So there maybe a chance for some of these to come back and be sold at Saints.

Not sure how many people will buy a 3 game package?

It works as:
Grand Final winners
Challenge Cup winners (or runner up if winner is same as GF winner)
League Leaders winner (or 2nd place if LL is same as GF winner, or 3rd place if LL & 2nd place are GF winner, CC winner and CC runner up.

So if for example the season ends as:
1. Saints
2. Wigan
3. Warrington

Grand Final winner = Saints
Challenge Cup winner = Saints
Challenge Cup Runner up = Wigan

What would happen, apart from uproarious p|ss taking directed towards Wigan from a certain town known for its glass making, is that Saints obviously take the Grand Final Winners place.
Wigan, as runners up, take the Challenge Cup place.
Warrington would then take the League Leaders place since both 1st and 2nd are already involved. It's not really a "League Leaders" place, more a "highest league position" place.

It would only be as low as 3rd place in the table that would ever be involved (unless of course a team from lower in the league wins the Grand Final or is involved in the Cup Final.
I dont think, if you're involving 3 SL teams in the comp, that having the team finished 3rd involved is devaluing it.

And the other thing is, an English team or two in the Auckland Nines, please!

There were only 50 left of the 3 game package left this morning according to the Super league page

3 North Wales Crusaders fans coming to Warrington by train looking foward to game. just got tickets seemed to be plenty left.

With plenty of time to spare. Did not even get to the last payday.

Now may the usual suspects start moaning about how Saints, should have taken it to a bigger ground (paid rent to someone else and let someone else take money on food and drink) and not made money at Saints own ground as Saints could have got another couple of thousand which would never have covered the extra costs and loss of income.



You know, every silver lining has a cloud, its the RL fans way.

Well done Saints, hope we follow suit.

Saints will make a pretty penny on this game.

Here's hoping this expanded format becomes an annual thing.

William will be busy scouring the internet collecting evidence of free ticket giveaways as we speak.

I'd hate to defend Mr Eve but congratulating ourselves for this is hardly makes it difficult for him

Has he even posted? It's one thing to argue with him, but if he was to respond no doubt any post he makes would be regarded as him stirring.

In the end if you poke the nest expect something to come out and respond.

Of course Saints should hold it at their own ground! Is anyone even suggesting different? I hope we see good attendances at all three games.

Yes, I suggest that the main game of the WCC be held at Wembley on a Sunday afternoon. That way we could possibly attract 50,000, with half of the fans from London and the south of England.

We could still hold the other games at M62 grounds for the parochial locals. The real rugby league fans would travel to Wembley for the big one, given the chance to return home at 4-5 pm on Sunday after a celebratory drink.
