St Helens will face one of their “greatest ever” challenges when they face NRL champions Penrith Panthers in Sydney on February 18.
After weeks of discussions, details for the much-anticipated 2023 World Club Challenge have tonight been confirmed and unveiled Red-hot Saints, who have won the last four Super League Grand Finals, will make the trip Down Under for what will be Paul Wellens’ first game in charge as head coach.
Brilliant Penrith, of course, have claimed back-to-back NRL titles and many of their players - including Kanagaroos stars Nathan Cleary and Isaah Yeo plus Samoa’s Jerome Luai and Stephen Crichton -are currently featuring here in the World Cup. The match will take place at the home of the Panthers, the BlueBet Stadium on Saturday February 18 (6pm KO local/ 7am UK).
