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.

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.

I think the club has to put out a statement tomorrow clarifying exactly what has happened.

And the players as well. Jerry has just signed the rest of his career to the club. That lad deserves to be playing on the big stages, and matches against the NRL minor premiers won't come along that often. I'd be very ed off if I were him.
I think either the RFL or the club has let the players down as well as the fans. |

If you turned down the chance to support it last year, don't be amazed that you weren't top of the list for am invite this year.
I wouldn't be surprised if you have turned it down again, will look forward to hearing what your club have to say (did they say anything last year?)

Transfer fees:
Real Madrid do it!
Manchester United do it!
now the [b:363ffase]Huddersfield Giants[/b:363ffase] do it!

I glad we're not in it & the club (if they did) turn it down, as it'd do more damage to us for the "few" extra we'd attract for the game we'd lose along with some regulars after an embarrassing scoreline gets put past us after another big game display.

Have they? I guess this is a sarcastic comment!
Just looked on the Giants website in the latest news section. Today's story is "BACK THE GIANTS IN 2016 WITH A SEASON TICKET"
Why would I do that? The Giants won't even back themselves, so why the hell should I back them? |

Yet their brave bid came to a stunning end when Cudjoe stepped out of the defensive line to intercept a pass and then run away for a 90-metre effort. (Times 2)
Roses are red Violets are purple The Giants are sweeter than Maple Surple.: |

If I hadn't already paid my £520 for next year I would be seriously considering not buying until this issue was explained in detail.
We deserve to be told.
