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.

Don't forget it's a business also and if playing the aussies in a nothing match loses money then they should decline it.

The series is poor. It's a nothing game and we fell apart after it last year. I'd rather us not play it.

Hudds may have turned it down, again.

Cas and Huddersfield turned down the "invite" last season due to having to put a £170K guarantee to the Aussie sides.

I knew there was some form of money guarantee but wasn,t sure how much, the Giants would need 8000 to 10000 fans to break even, think Saints made over 150K profit on the game last year. Johnny Vegas no doubt will offer a couple of his properties in Thatto Heath to accommodate some of the aussie players to cut down club expenditure.

If he gets full Chris Joynt can help out with his Parr empire of houses.

More than likely be Leeds, Wigan and ourselves. Good crowds guaranteed , all multiple championship winning sides, easy sell of tickets.
Love us to host St.George one day!

Warrington can have the game for me. I'd rather us win a trophy for the honour of playing in the world club series. Taking a hand me down from Huddersfield feels a bit like being handed a Black Forest gateau but finding out Johnny Wellies has licked the spoon.

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

If all 3 Huddersfield fans turned up they would still make a loss. A big empty stadium would look shocking on TV and it's not an image the game wants to project
