As the Aussies would laugh if they played it at shed at Knowsley road, this is the reason they played it at a neutral venue. I'm sure it wasn't Wigan decision to play it at DW... Anyway it was played at a neutral ground the PremierShips Wigan Latics Stadium. Maybe what they wanted but I can't see it being their decision.
I agree that the Aussies have flown 24 hours across the world to play in cold weather, in front of a BIG Wigan crowd at Wigan's home ground so would of been harder for them... But they are paid professionals it shouldnt matter how far they have travelled, where the game is at etc...
