Is this fixture absolutely set in stone.

Reason I ask is during last nights game when it was apparent Wigan would win we started to talk about the World club challenge. Penrith have already said they will not take part and today Radlinski as come out and said he will try hard to make it happen.

So with both teams in Vegas next March I said would they try to switch the games and Wigan play Penrith in the Challenge and we play Cronulla instead. I am 100% against this what do others think.

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.

Skybet have betting up for this game now. Wigan giving us 8
