Wigan, who will play in Las Vegas against Sam Burgess’ Warrington Wolves, play in next week’s Super League grand final against Hull KR.
Best case scenario is that Wigan wins the Super League title.
Play Panthers vs Wigan WCC in Vegas.
Warriors v Raiders (NRL Rd 1)
Sharks vs Warrington in an exhibition
Panthers vs Sharks can be caught up later in the year.
Given the high number of players we'll have playing test footy, and the minimum holiday times, and minimum training times before play under the CBA , I can't see how we have enough players eligible to play a match before Vegas.
8-10 weeks mandatory holidays.
6 weeks training before play.
Pacific Cup finishes on Nov 10
Vegas is Mar 1
That's 15 weeks, 6 days.
