| I think it's set in stone, yeah. You can't sell tickets and travel packages and then move the goalposts on the fixtures, unless you actually state that as being an "in the event of..." possibility in the first place, which they obviously didn't.
I could be wrong, but I imagine most Wires fans going would accept seeing us play Cronulla. Yes, it would be an exhibition match, but it would be a glamour one against the Aussies. There was more home fans at the HJ for Wires V Brisbane than there has ever been for a Wires V Wigan fixture there, which shows those games do have appeal to fans in the UK.
I doubt many Cronulla fans would feel the same though, so I can't see the fixtures changing. I know the WCC being cancelled - if that does happen - makes no difference to us, but in a parallel universe where we actually do win the Grand Final I would be gutted if we were denied our shot at it.

| The suggestion from Nathan Clearly was to play the WCC during their magic round in Brisbane.

| Quote: "WARRINGTON are launching a public relations offensive over the coming months to build anticipation for their historic Super League clash against Wigan in Las Vegas, with several celebrity figures tipped to be involved.
Warrington will take on the Warriors on March 1 in Allegiant Stadium as part of the NRLโs expansion into the American market, which will include two NRL fixtures and an England Womenโs Test match against the Jillaroos.
The two clubs have now sold together over 5,000 tickets for the first Super League game on American soil, but are aiming to sell more.
Organisers are hoping to sell out the 65,000-seat Allegiant Stadium after more than 40,000 fans watched the first NRL foray into Las Vegas earlier this year.
Warrington CEO Karl Fitzpatrick told League Express that Wolves and England winger Matty Ashton will travel to America following the international series against Samoa as part of a PR push.
Ashton is expected to make appearances and attend home games at NBAโs LA Lakers and the NFLโs Las Vegas Raiders, as well as possibly a UFC fight night, to do interviews and help drum up publicity.
The NRL did the same with some of its star players ahead of the inaugural event in Las Vegas in February.
Warrington are also planning to invite the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, to attend their match in Las Vegas in 2025. Johnson is a friend of Wolves fan Sir Lindsay Hoyle, who is the Speaker of the UKโs House of Commons.
Famous professional wrestler Hulk Hogan is another prominent figure Warrington hope to invite ahead of the Nevada fixture.
Fitzpatrick had a chance encounter with Hogan when in America several years ago.
โI met him out in Clearwater a few years ago when we were both out shopping,โ he said.
โWe exchanged numbers and messages, and Iโm going to invite him to the game.โ
Hogan starred in professional wrestling for decades and has appeared in many Hollywood film and TV productions.
Actor and South Sydney Rabbitohs owner Russell Crowe is another celebrity the Wolves want to get involved to promote the Las Vegas jaunt. Crowe is a friend of both Wire owner and music promoter Simon Moran, and head coach Sam Burgess, who was married to his long-time girlfriend Lucy in Rome last week.
Warrington have already held meetings with Sky around their coverage and promotion of the match. Sky will be broadcasting the Super League fixture live.
โSky are going to get right behind it,โ Fitzpatrick said.
Wigan are also planning their own public relations offensive and on Thursday published a video on X from UFC star Conor McGregor promoting the event.
Warringtonโs head of rugby Gary Chambers will fly out to Las Vegas over the next two months to check on potential training'"
Well, that's me done sticking up in any way shape or form for fitz

| Ashton will need to slow down his speaking and be much more clearer.
He speaks way to fast with a manc accent to be understood.

He was probably trying to sign him as our "big bopper".

So have we signed Hogan or not. Not seen Abe around for a while maybe he is out there sniffing around the deal.

| Can Hogan play prop? I think his leg drop is counted as a flop even under new RFL rules.

| I'm looking forward to all of this except the womens game, as our girls are going to get absolutely hammered.
Do we know if all games will be on Sky? I might have missed it if already announced.

Yes Wire and Pies on the main Sky Channel here, but only on Fox Soccer in USA.
The other games getting top billing.
The ladies international ranking higher than our curtain raiser.

I know it's going to be broadcast but what about the old maxim "what goes on in Vegas stays in Vegas"?

| Dunno if its been mentioned elsewhere but the redbull sponsorship is a good bit of business, I know it's uk but you'd like to think they'd give redbull usa the nod for when we're over there
