Not lost in Wigan Warriors How big could be for the Super League when they get the Warrington Wolves in Las Vegas on March 1, Live on Heavenly.
The two local rivals will fight it at the Allegian stadium while Rugby League goes sideways and tries to capture a new audience.
There will also be two competition points on the offer, with the three round matches a part of the Super League calendar, but Wigan Matt Peet coach knows that there is more in the game than just those points on the offer.
In fact, as they set up a battle, Wigan and Warrington will “cooperate” throughout the construction to ensure that the best of the Super League is on the show.
“I’m very excited. It’s a great opportunity and credit for Wigan and Warrington’s vision of setting this event,” Peet said.
“Now we have taken a responsibility to not only put up a good game, but to show the super league through the media, take advantage of every opportunity and attack it with both hands.
“It is important that although we go as rivals with Warrington and we are competing with them, we cooperate and realize that we are representing the British game.
“It is a historical event. We have been a part of some of these in our history before and you get a lot of great memories when you win and perform well, then not so much when you do not perform like us in Barcelona a few years ago.
“Lovers have taken the opportunity to make some great memories and have to get it.”
