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
