Mole seems to believe the match will be played in the UK (assume the DW). https://twitter.com/9_Moley/status/1722 ... FfygA&s=19 I've seen Sat 24th February as the proposed date.

Wigan Athletic play Cheltenham Town on the 24th Feb so you will have to go to Bolton or Leigh

Nice to see Penrith taking it seriously this time, flying across the world to compete in the WORLD CLUB CHALLENGE.

Rather than the glorified friendly approach they took earlier this year, taking it into the NRL preseason challenge in front of about 8k.

Should be a great evening.

Was hoping it was going to be in Vegas and tagged onto the NRL games - was ready to pull the trigger on flights and hotels.

Fri 23rd 8pm kick off will do then.

That would be perfect. I’m away on the 24th.

Can see it being Sunday though like the cronulla game.

That's not a problem, Wigan Athletics new chief exec will sort it out very soon.

I was hoping for the same, I still might go to Vegas for the NRL games

Same here - would have been an easier sell with the missus if Wigan were playing - She's watched the Hangover films and now has a particular view of Vegas

I get the feeling the NRL games are for the Australian to show the beat of what rugby league has to offer I fear it's put a bit of a downer on proceedings if Wigan rocked up and dumped a win on penrith

Not so sure about that. Call me cynical, but I see no reason why Penrith would be more invested this year than they were by Saints. I never thought they'd come here, but as they are doing, apparently, I infer from that that for reasons of their own, they don't wish to take part in the NRL pre-season thing. Having said all that, it's a long way to come to play one game. Could they knock up a fixture against an England XIII ?

Got to love the biterness over on the usual site for all things 'Entertainers' related

Hope that this gets confirmed soon - Wigan said in Thursday's press release for the fixtures that the WCC would be confirmed by the end of the week but nothing yet.

Saturday 24th February

Beltin!

Aren’t Latics playing on that date? I thought we would play on the Sunday?

Official announcement just now - deets to follow

Some poor Latics fan on Twitter was telling anyone who'd listen that the Warriors couldn't possibly play this game on the Saturday. I guess times really have changed.

Can’t wait for the “penrith never took it seriously against Saints” posts after they wallop Wigan about 40 nil.

Wigan didn’t even have the bottle to go to Aus to play them lmao

We've already won over in Australia and when it was played during the regular season as well.

Ahem

There it is again, that buzz your posts bring because they make me remember we’re champions. The high of a GF win fades as the weeks go by but then you post and it’s like being back at OT celebrating.

We’ll look forward to the WCC in front of 25,000 at the DW. Enjoy your Union u12’s match

It took time, but the natural order eventually reasserted itself.

Isn't it funny when insecure people worry that others might achieve something?

I for one will be there at the DW - I'll probably stop short of cheering Wigan on but I won't be neutral. Always want the British side to win these games.

Good luck.

ps any idea when tickets will be on sale?
