Wigan v Penrith World Club challenge at the JJB

[Bedfordshire Bronco]

Looking at the odds....

Wigan are 6-4

Penrith are 12-17

Seems about right to me

it must be time to moan about Penrith not bringing enough away support ?

It's straight down the M6, one road, what's their bloody problem.

To be fair, Penrith don't have a great record in the World Club Challenge - maybe their fans are just sick of seeing them get turned over.

Wigan has got to come out firing and hitting...if Penrith starts slowly and clunks along for the first sets (like last year) then Wigan will have 'em!

Engelbert will be played each time Penrith complain that the ruck is too slow.

'Please release me, let me go' will resonate around the stadium.

if DKW had posted such a lame attempt at humour such as that I could have accepted it (as usual) but really NE -I  really expect a lot more from you

Tongue firmly in cheek. I was just trying to pre-empt the antipodean excuses...

I thought it was being shown on BBC as well?

[Dunbar]

According to the BBC fixture list, on Saturday the 24th of February Wigan are playing Leigh in the World Club series at 3.00pm and then Penrith in the final at 8.00pm.

I don't know what is more outrageous, the BBC assuming Wigan are going to beat Leigh and make the final or the RFL deciding to play the semi and the final on the same day with Penrrith getting a bye to the final!

Better be quick. I think those odds have tightened in to be 3 to 2 now.

Has it been mentioned yet that the Panthers will be missing Jarome Luai.
