You are correct Daz. But don't let the truth get in the way of a good rumour. |

| Quote: meast "i've heard and read( i don't do rumours but just putting it out there) that us, saints, Hull Kr and Cas all were offered and all turned it down, wire according to rumourmongers are the only ones willing to stump up the £180k bond.
now this is probably all a load of bull, but if it's true, should the governing bodies, and i inlcude SKY in that, not be paying the cost of the Australians to get over here? they are wanting to expand the series and turn it into a big global event but yet the competing clubs are expected to pay all the costs?
not sure that's right?
last year i wasn't bothered about it, but this year i am, we are by right, the 3rd best team in the northern hemisphere and should compete in it this year. if we have been given the chance and turned it down then it's not good IMO, yes it's a lot of money, but it could also be a big missed opportunity for us.
time will tell though.'"
too right fella, why should clubs pay to enter the wcc, we don't have to fork vast sume to enter sl or challenge cup
if sl/rfl want this event to get bigger, then they should di into their own pocket |

| I can see it now, your 4,750 die hards sat in an empty stadium embarrassing our game on sky, that why your not likely to be in it in reality.
Joking apart my understanding is there has to be a £180k bond paid as last year. Huddersfield need to use an opportunity like this to increase there position in the local area and get bums on seats and promote the game to the younger kids businesses etc etc etc. Unfortunately Huddersfield are crap at marketing as their attendances prove. It's a shame really because on the field they are a team on the up.

Looks worse still at our stadium than Leeds as ours is a lot bigger place than leeds and if you were playing at our place there would still be plenty of empty seats.

It's all irrelevent anyway, we haven't been picked.
2015 Super League Grand Finalists Leeds Rhinos and Wigan Warriors will be joined by St Helens as the third team to compete in the Series. They will face the NRL Minor Premiers, Sydney Roosters, Grand Final runners up, Brisbane Broncos and NRL Champions, North Queensland Cowboys.
The World Club Series will be hosted by the First Utility Super League and played over three days from Friday February 19 to Sunday February 21, climaxing in the World Club Challenge to determine the world’s best Rugby League club.
As Leeds Rhinos claimed two of three possible qualification positions the Super League Board decided to invite St Helens to take part in the Series on the basis they reached both the Super League semi-final and Challenge Cup semi-final in the 2015 season, have a strong history in the World Club Challenge and will add value to the 2016 tournament.

I am just disgusted with this. Saints are in because they are a "big club". Not for any other reason.
I hope they get shat on by whichever NRL club they play.

as an outsider looking in, im disappointed you didnt get the game, not only would it have given myself an fc fan the chance to come over and see ex fc player moa in action, (im sure other fc fans would have come over too as moa was a big crowd favourite), it also smacks of a closed shop and favouritism from the rfl, superleague and more likely sky tv!
any wonder fans get fed up of the same old same old!

So then, Saints Wigan and Leeds ARE the Super League according to the governing body !!
Can't be having a team whose finished 1st, 3rd, 3rd in consecutive seasons taking part. If we did the double they'd still find a way of not letting us play !!

rumours going around that we "declined" it again!
disappointing i think we deserved a crack at it, if it we weren't offered it then disappointed with the powers that be, if we have declined it, then a big disappointment with the club.

Doesn`t look like we declined it by the statement from the RFL. Disgracefull decision. |

Not correct. We did decline it last year as we were asked to donate £75K towards the prize money, but we have not been invited this year which is an absolute disgrace and just shows the RFL to be what they are, totally corrupt and unable to organise a pee up etc.
I'm not a fan of union but having seen glimpses of their WC they are much more professional in everything they do, from the RU management to the Refs. They make our bunch of clowns look totally inept and the world series selection of Saints proves it  |

Well rumors abound, You claim we turned it down last year, Others on here claim we didn't, I don't see us ever getting the truth, What I do see is We didn't play in it last year and we aren't going too this year.
So once again the people who turn up all season and help to pay the wages are the ones who lose out on the chance to see their team line up against some of the best players in the world.
If the club have declined, then that is crap, but they will never admit to it because of the effect on ST sales. If they have been screwed by the RFL and do not make an almighty stink over it, then I would think that will have pretty much the same effect on ST sales, because it will demonstrate the complete lack of ambition by the club.
We hold ourselves in readiness.
