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?

I'll be there but only because I won't have to pay





Just getting my popcorn ready for when Saints allow Penrith to train at ours and then play them in an opposed session to help them prepare. Looking forward to the comments on social media when it happens





Am I right in thinking that the Rabbitohs trained at Wigan before we played them in 2015? I was told this but genuinely can't remember.

I don't know the answer to that, but I will say this. Ian Lenagan, albeit that since last night he's no longer our chairman, was always very firmly and loudly in support of the British team in these fixtures, and that includes Saints, with whom he had a very good relationship.

I could be wrong. I know for a fact that Peet and Wellens get on really well so it may be something that we don't get involved with.



However I also know that Rush has a great relationship with Penrith. When our Academy lads tour Australia they always base themselves at Penrith and are allowed to train there and use their facilities so I wouldn't be surprised if we return the favour.
