The only reason they look up to you is because they chose to kneel.

I don't think there is any confirmation that Wigan wouldn't fancy the trip to Australia. There has been speculation that it may not happen because it's tough to come up with a plan to play a league fixture in the UK, then go to Australia, then go to Vegas and then come home for another league fixture but if there is a club that would try and make it happen, I think it would be Wigan.

I'd probably but the question towards Penrith and why they wouldn't come here. Unlike us, they don't have any league fixtures to cope with before Vegas, so could come here and then go to Vegas. The onus and the sacrifice always seems to have to be on the English clubs side. I read rumours yesterday that the Samoan lads from Penrith have decided not to bother with the test series over here, so they'll be well rested and can probably handle an extra business class flight or two.


I imagine their argument would be that they travelled here last year, which is fair enough. They could do more to facilitate of course, but don't think it's something that should be expected of them

Didn't they want to come here last year though? The interest in your game at Penrith was pretty much nil, with them getting their lowest crowd in years (which included a couple of thousand Saints fans), so I think they were quite happy to let Wigan sort everything out. The reasons the WCC games are played over here aren't because they want to do UK clubs a favour, they just can't be bothered trying to drum up enough interest to make it worth their while.

If Wigan win on Saturday, I think it's far more sensible to expect a side with no league games before Vegas to come over here and then go to Vegas, then it is to expect a side to play a Challenge cup tie, a league game, go to Australia, then go to Vegas and then come back and crack on with their league campaign a few days later. Thinking back, the NRL also spread their Round 1 fixtures over 2 weeks, so the teams playing in Vegas are the first 4 teams to play and then they don't have a game for 2 weeks. The expectation should absolutely be on Penrith to travel and make the fixture happen if it comes down to a repeat of last year but it won't be.
