Will it be at commbank if HKR win?

Most likely Penrith... its been done before

Isnt Penrith closed now for demolition?

It would be almost a certainty, in that scenario, that it is played at CommBank as it will be Penrith's home ground in 2025. Penrith Stadium would have to be closed and redevelopment started by February if they are any chance of making their planned 2026 completion.

Cancelling means they are serious about going for five straight

Penrith just don't get World Club Challenges.

substitute the word "get" for the word "win" - poor penrith pussies - its too much for them to handle - if they lost to a SL side AGAIN would that be a record number of failures in the wcc?
just not made of the same metal as the english i guess

 

[Perth Red]

After embarrassing the Australian game two years in a row this doesn’t come as any surprise!

Shame, selfishly I was hoping to see us play in Australia but a good preseason is probably more important.

Playing it in Perth could also be an option as Western Australia has a large English expat community.

 

[RL The greatest game]

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.

Should be played at Las Vegas!!
