Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.

What's the rationale for Saints over Huddersfield?

The RFL press release said its because they got through to the semi finals of both competitions this year and also because they've got pedigree in the World Club Series over the years

I wouldn't be surprised if Hudds turned it down again.

Re: World Club Series : Fri Oct 09, 2015 5:29 am  
To be fair to the RFL, if Huddersfield turned down the game last year then you can understand them not being given the game this year, why should they reward mediocrity and offer them the game as the also rans this season, as well as the last, only to be snubbed?. They finished a point above Saints who put up a far better showing in the semi last week, as well as making the CC semi final and will almost certainly fill Langtree park for the WCC game.Its hardly that controversial. Huddersfield need to start growing a pair as a team and start making finals and winning them instead of rolling over and choking when it really matters, then the RFL and everybody else might start taking them seriously and not look on them with the kind of contempt they are now.

Catch 22, would a big international game on sHudds doorstep, properly marketed, entice out the public? They get a taste of what a big game atmosphere is like, obviously get a cheeky boost in profile etc?

Or is it down to not having ambition?
