When do St Helens ever sell out anything?

Biggest game if the year? Are you serious? It's a nothing game. It's a friendly. Win or lose we get nothing.

We didn't even qualify for the the series did we?

I'd rather have took two points at Salford last week than a win against the roosters in a friendly.

All games are nothing games.

We all run around and do what we have to do but in 100 years we will all be dead and very few will care about a salford game or a roosters game.
In 5 billion years the sun will die and take out every RL pitch in sight.
Many years after that the universe will grow cold and die and nothing will be left.

It is all pointless and meaningless.

But it's fun whilst we are here, so enjoy the moment.

It will never sell out because of people with the same mindset as you...

People worrying about injuries....they can happen at anytime, during any game throughout the year, why even worry about it? Ridiculous!

Roby will be absolutely gutted he's missing it (as am I)!

I am buzzing today though, can't wait for them to have a good crack at those arrogant ozzies!

We was unbeaten in super league last year until we got smashed by south's but last year was a big game, it was the two champions playing to see who's the best in the world.

Since the awful world series came in, half the teams in it didn't even qualify which is laughable. Both hudds and Cas opted out of the "big game" and I'm pretty sure both st george and brisbane last year didn't even qualify for the world series which makes the whole thing a joke.

How can it be the best value the best when half the teams in it didn't qualify?

Oh and by the way, I'm told if this was a play off game, semi final or final then Robes would be playing.

A big night for St Helens coming up. Their attitude after being thumped by Salford will be important or they may be up for another heavy defeat to a NRL side. The Roosters here in Australia have settled after the Mitchell Pearce Australia Day incident. Let's hope this game is competitive and sets a good tone for the weekend. http://www.nothingbutleague.com/2016/02 ... -roosters/

Huge game for the club, for the players, and for the fans.

To play against the NRL clubs is the greatest test, why wouldn't anyone want it?! Truly astonishing!

If the feeling of beating Salford is greater than beating any NRL team, then you my friend, have no clue whatsoever about rugby league!

Completely agree IANmarra, the attitude of some of rugby league supporters is so destructive its incredible. The reason rugby league is dying in this country (IMO) is because we are to scared to do things differently, we are to eager to discredit an idea than run with it and watch it grow!!! State of Origin for example....scoffed at at first, low crowds etc, look at it now!! hands up who wants to go and watch State of Origin live?? ME!!! Maybe if we'd stuck at War of the Roses clashes all those years ago, instead of dropping it because no one took it seriously, we'd have an exciting no holds barred series of rugby league by now? Who knows what the world club challenge series could become?? lets run with it!! Lets have full strength squads knocking 10 bells out of each other!! If players get injured, lets have squads good enough for it to not matter as much!! But we need competitive games, whether they be domestic, world club, or internationals, so people will come to watch, attendences will grow, money will be made, profits can be put towards better facilities, better players can be developed, then we will get more competitive games.......and repeat!! Im getting fed up of the endless negativity of rugby league!!! c'mon guys n gals, we have one of the most brutal, exciting, skillfull sports around, lets enjoy and promote it, and more to the point lets make it better!!! Starting with respecting the world club challenge....let it grow!!!!
