Cas were never given the option. Only Leeds were invited to go as part of the World Club Challenge.
Hull and Wigan are completely separate from that.
I think that is the point.
Leeds were there as champions for the official World Club Challenge. As is always the case.
Wigan and Hull didn't wait for an invite, they sorted something out for themselves. Nothing that Cas couldn't have done (assuming they could have aforded the initial investment).
Apparently Hull and Wigan made something like £100k out of it. Not sure how true that is but it's clearly been worth while.
