Saw a headline re potential for Penrith v Saints WCC as long as it is in Oz but then couldn't open the link! Anyone heard anything?

Super League have made their schedule that doesn’t include the WCC, with the World Cup and congested season and Super League and it’s clubs won’t pay for us to go to Penrith.

They won't come here
We won't go there
Dead in the water
Fair enough! Thanks for the feedback folks!
Forwards win games. The backs decide by how much.
Seem to remember when the Goons played over there they had a finance package put in place, can't see that being the case for Saints. Far too dissruptive as well with our season starting early and we don't know if quarantine rules might resurface.
I would absolutely love us to have a crack at it... The only possible way to do it would be in mid January and use it as our pre-season. Doubt Penrith or Saints would be willing to do that though
Get over there and get it played
It’s worrying that they’re saying they absolutely wouldn’t come here when their national side has already refused to come for one World Cup, with the replacement planned this year.

Maximum preparation for going for four on the bounce far outweighs going to Aus for this in my opinion
"The great fallacy is that the game is first and last about winning. It is nothing of the kind. The game is about glory, it is about doing things in style and with a flourish, about going out and beating the other lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom." Danny Blanchflower.
Might have been written by a footballer about football - but never a truer word............
I can't see any sense in it after the financial bruising dished out by COVID. Didn't Wigan's recent trip end up being financially disastrous?
The Penrith coach was one of the most prominent and vocal opponents of the WC happening, he has no interest in this match so I don't see any wa it will happen.
I suspect they are paying lip service that if Saints travel under unworkable conditions they will play, knowing it won't happen.

Woolf calling it out.
The WCC has lost its gloss, much better bragging rights if we create a record 4 Superleague Champions in a row, which might be an everlasting feat.
That made for hilarious and damning TV. Radlinski claiming Sonny Bill Williams was rubbish and Wane telling his players to actually attack people, which really should have been used as evidence when Flower did his completely unintentional and unplanned party piece in the Grand Final.
