If those academy games are anything to go by, it will be

We can agree on that.

It will be interesting to see which rules the WCC will be officiated in Northern hemisphere or Southern interpretation.?

They've already said that the SL rules will be 'relaxed'.

It'll be played under international rules, contact with the head will still be penalised

..but accidental headbumps won't be a sending off offence.

Wow just seen Weardley score a try after going to the video ref. No matter how many times and angles and in slow motion it was short of the line very very lucky

Well done Wigan great shot in the arm for SL.

Wigan deserved that for effort alone. Some dodgy calls imo , but they put everything into that.

Defending Penrith for 80 mins calls or no is some effort. Would so love for Leeds to be in another WCC.

Wardle not Weardley.
That was a try at the finish so Wigan can count themselves very lucky. I wanted a SL team to win but Penrith must be gutted.

Give your head a shake. Do you honestly think a British team would get a fair shake in OZ? SL has what - 40% of the NRL salary cap. Magnificent effort and our game (much maligned) should be proud. Leeds need to be part of these nights. Well done the Pies.

I’m sure Not saying if the game had been played down in Oz every thing would have been perfect or Wigan didn’t deserve it. I would always want a SL team to win! But Wigans first try was very debatable and Penrith having the last ditch effort chalked off was controversial . I personally think the referees decision on both incidents was wrong and had he given his on field decisions the other way round then the video ref would more than likely given No Try Wigan and Try Penrith. So Wigan were lucky. Apart from those decisions Liam Moore did quite well (apart from odd decision or so).
I enjoyed the game and the outcome and yes it was great fo SL and might stop the arrogant Oz Press up for 30 seconds.

Wigans first try of the 2nd half.

If you take the video replay out of it, I reckon I'd have given 2 tries each. Wigan"s first and the French one that got disallowed. Wigan definitely had the luck but I"m very glad they won it. Now let's hope they lose a few in the league.
