I would bloody hope they would.


The problem last year was that we didn't qualify. Warrington were the highest place semi-finalists. The question of whether the club would have put up the money is a moot point.

This year, we are the highest placed semi-finalists. If we aren't in the World Club Series it can only be down to one of two things.

1. We didn't want it and turned it down - in which case everything I believe about the poor running of the club and the total lack of ambition will be true. If that's the case, we may as well watch Batley.

2. The powers that be decide completely arbitrarily that the team that finished fourth should get the nod ahead of the team that finished third, purely on the basis that they are Saints - "a big team" - and they should get preference because they are Saints. I think most people in the game would be disgusted by that. In that instance, if I were running the club, we'd be looking for a detailed explanation of the decision from the RFL. And it had better be a bloody good one.

Very commendable too Meast, as I have said your support does you credit, I would say you are very well suited to YOUR club, but Mr Davy wants my money just as much as yours, Yours is safely in the coffers, and will be whatever the teams fortunes.
Those couple of pieces of silverware you dismiss as no more than something it would be nice to win, could put 2/3 thousand people on the gates, which is what I thought the aim was, and the brutal truth is that it makes no difference whether those fans are New fans. or were among the 300, Their money is worth the same.

You say, don't lets do anything that puts YOUR club in jeopardy, The message that comes out of the club constantly, is that the club IS in jeopardy and can't survive unless the fan base increases, So what's the solution , watch the numbers decline, keep pleading for people to go watch, and Wait and see, Seems to me your idea is no better than mine, and a lot less exiting.

It's easy enough to Say look where Bradford are now, See what their spending has done for them, Well Bradford are now where Huddersfield have been for the biggest part of the last 60 years, so not a lot to crow about really, The difference is that they have had a lot of great years, they have lifted a lot of these Trophies, that mean so little to you.

Just MO but I would bet on them being back, and I reckon they would be over the Moon to have those 20.000 glory supporters again, and the Trophies as well. If or when that happens and the Bulls shirts once again appear all over Huddersfield, that just like before will be the Bulls fault for poaching our fans.

If the Giants can't capitalise on the fact that . Bradford, Wakey and Halifax are at this time , Shall we say lesser clubs, then they will never make it

or the one ken davy has set out instead

Well said.

And do you believe hand on heart that Leeds got the LLS and GF on merit, or more that it was gifted to you by the officials leaned on by the RFL. Penalties given and not given benefitted Leeds at Huddersfield, and that is not just said by me but by journalists and pundits alike (can`t all be wrong ). And the same with the GF with McGuire`s knock on. Also pulled to bits by the journos, cost Wigan.
Going further back when Leeds were at our place earlier in the season, Huddersfield were leading 24-22 and Leeds were attacking the Huddersfield line, last play the ball, and he penalises Huddersfield for going early. But replaying the incident all Huddersfield players were feet on the line when the ball was played. (another stitch up ) of course Leeds leveled at 24 - 24. Is it all just luck ????
So would you say that Leeds are well in front of us as you just scraped the game at your place late on. I know you skinned us in the CC as we did not get off the bus (same at Wigan).
But overall there is nowt in us games could go either way.

I don't think there is an awful lot between the two teams, but what is missing from the Huddersfield team is clearly pretty important. The bit about a conspiracy is cringeworthy and just plain wrong.
