NO, no, no, no, no, no.

Phil Gould couldn’t have said it any better.

Parramatta, Newcastle, Manly and South Sydney on Monday became the latest NRL clubs to reject a rich offer to play Super League runners-up Warrington in England next February.

The Daily Telegraph revealed that Melbourne, Canberra, North Queensland, Brisbane, Canterbury, Penrith and Gold Coast have all ruled out the possibility of heading to England for the game, which would net an NRL club about $400,000.

The two-game World Club Series will pit NRL and Super League premiers — Cronulla and Wigan — against each other in the traditional World Club Challenge with the two runners-up — Melbourne and Warrington — to also play.

But the Storm don’t want to play and neither does any other side, with most arguing pre-season schedules have already been completed.

“We wouldn’t be interested,” Knights CEO Matt Gidley said. “Our pre-season is locked in and confirmed.”

Manly chairman Scott Penn added: “We have fully locked in our trial games and our schedules. There is some level of interest but it would need to be lucrative enough to make significant changes. At the moment, unlikely.

“There are some significant positives (in the game) but we know from history that it is highly disruptive coming into the season. There are negatives in terms of the fatigue factor.”

Parramatta officials confirmed their club wouldn’t be interested in heading to England either. The two games are scheduled for February 16 and 17 — when NRL trial games are being played and just after the Auckland Nines. The club to play will pocket $100,000 with the remaining $300,000 covering all costs.

St George Illawarra conceded the game would be a “great opportunity.”

“We are locked into 2017, not thinking we would encounter such a circumstance,’’ Dragons CEO Peter Doust said. “We would love to go and have always seen it as fantastic for the brand of the Dragons overseas — because we are well-known overseas — and it’s a great opportunity to propagate the game. We were very much involved in the original expansion of the World Club Challenge.

“We are contracted into arrangements like most clubs are for 2017. But I would still consider it if it was in the interests of the game and see what arrangements we could come to. It puts our club brand in the international market.”

South Sydney chief executive Shane Richardson said his club supported the WCC concept but still couldn’t make the journey.

“We have prepared for next season, we have our trials organised, our systems locked-in, it’s a bit late to change any of that now,’’ Richardson said.

“If we had a bit more notice we might have been able to do it. We didn’t think we would be going so it would impossible for us to turn our pre-season around now. It’s just too big a challenge for us at this late stage but it doesn’t mean we don’t support it though.”

Bulldogs CEO Raelene Castle added: “No thank you.”
