On a hiding to nothing - even if a SL team wins a 'friendly' it will be said the NRL side didn't take it seriously. Or more likely the SL sides will get a shallacking

Wrong. If Saints win on Saturday then your WCC game should be on the Saturday but you've been told that's not allowed. |

Have you been told you're playing Saturday regardless of the Grand Final result.
Could you play WCC on Sunday? |

What change. Wigan were always playing Sunday.
Now answer the question.
Why are Saints not playing on Sunday? |

I'll rephrase the question. If Wigan lose on Saturday, they should be playing on the Saturday of the World Club Series. What is the reason that they won't be playing on the Saturday? |

The original line up had the winners of the two Grand Finals playing on Sunday night and the runners up on the Saturday.

Wigan have been told they can't play Saturday.
That is factual. You can try and talk your way out of it and ask as many questions as you like. The fact remains that Wigan have been told they can't play on the Saturday. I haven't got a clue why you continue to argue that.

Go and argue with Sky that you want to play on Sunday.
Wigan were always the Sunday game once they qualified.
And in reality it doesn't matter. |

It doesn't matter but you're trying to argue the toss?
As the links above show, the runners up were originally due to play on the Saturday until your landlord spoke up. Wigan weren't always going to be the Sunday at all. |

SO to sum it up:
Wigan Athletic determine when we play as we share a ground.
Wigan Athletic determine when Stains play even though they don't share a ground.

Knocked out in the first round of the lay offs, not taking part in the expanded WCC. It looks that way! |

It doesn't really matter to us pal, we can play whenever with us having our own ground.
It's just a bit of a shame for the sport that's all because if we win tomorrow, the World Club Challenge will have to be moved to accommodate a Championship football team. It's more embarrassing for the RFL and Wigan really, it won't matter to us.
I think that sums it up more accurately. |

The original statement had the two Grand Finalists plus the highest placed finishers in Superleague playing in these games. That was what the fans wanted to give finishing higher in the regular season some reward.
That should have been Saints, Wigan and Huddersfield. The goalposts were then moved and Warrington were "invited"
Guess what Huddersfield Town play at home on Sat 21st February, as do Hull City, and Sale Sharks. What would have happened if they had qualified?
The RL should have known that there was a probability of ground unavailability.
It was easy to solve.
"Teams a, b and c will play teams x, y and z at a dates and venues to be announced AFTER the Grand Final"
However this the RFL we're talking about.
And Saints still have to play on Saturday because Wigan Athletic are at home.

What change in schedule?
There is only a change in the original schedule if Wigan lose tomorrow. Then you can have your moment if you like and claim Wigan are told what to do by Wigan Athletic.
Have you had the same sense of uproar and anger about the RFL moving the goalposts as Rogues Gallery referred to? |

You've answered your own question.

Have the RFL moved the goalposts? Did they ever say it was going to be the two grand finalists plus the highest placed finisher in the regular season, or did everyone assume that's what they meant? Genuine question. |

Yes. They stated that as League Leaders you were guaranteed to be in the World Series as you were the highest finishers.
Going off the apparent rule, had you lost both games and not made the final you wouldn't have qualified.
Quote ="The Yellow Giraffe"You've answered your own question.'"
How have I? The Grand Final Winners as of this moment right now are playing on the Sunday. We won't know if that changes until tomorrow and even then it may not. Thus......there is currently no change in schedule. |

If I was a Stains fan (thank the Lord I'm not  ) I'd be pretty peed off that Dave Whelan is essentially telling me when I can play. |

In that case yes they have moved the goalposts. So Huddersfield have been hard done to? Left out? Did they refuse it? |
