Excuse my ignorance, but how's that happened?

Surely it should be the goons, Leeds & Hudds? :shock:

They might be unsure about the support from Huddersfield. If you remember the Blake Solly interview (2015) he mentioned the importance of 3 "full house" stadiums as part of marketing the game.

That would be terribly unfair on Huddersfield. They finished 3rd and deserve to play them. They'd probably make a better fist of it too. I'll never forget the 0-38 tonking they dished out to us in 2003.

Only a matter of time before this is made official.

Make sure you bookmark this thread.

Thread on RedVee mentions clubs have to pay to play. Could be Hudds have turned the invite down?

I know but this is the RL and they could change the criteria, equal on points with the giants but we had more wins in super league than them, also we put up a much better show in the semi final. The RFL announced that they would determine the third participant if there was a certain scenario on a team winning multiple titles. Saints would have a guarantee of over £340k (say 17000) where the Giants might struggle with £180 k (say 9000).

Hudds may have turned it down, again.

If they have then that shows a lack of ambition to me...surely you'd want to test yourself against the best in the world?

It might just be me, but I don't really like the idea of only getting to play against a Aussie team just because Huddersfield turned them down.
