I understand why the Panthers don't want to play Wigan as it now is.
We lost at home to Saints, and we lost away to Wigan earlier in the year. There is something about the WCC that suits other NRL teams, but not us.

It should be bloody mandatory, the NRL are continually banging on about content and we have something unique, that can be marketed and will give the game a boost on the other side of the world (and we`ve seen some Pommy fans will travel) and we don`t make sure it happens. f**king madness.

I have advocated for a long time the game should be played in Singapore and chase the corporate dollar. Ok it won't be a big crowd watching the game, but Singapore has a lot of ex pats from both countries working there, and it's these and their companies we should be trying to tap into.

Hull KR committed to playing in the WCC earlier in the year and factored this possibility into their planning for 2026.

So play at FCs ground and work really hard to fill it or push to play in Brisbane. I believe Brisbane could pull and Hull KR get a big cut of the gate.
