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?
