I’ve been to Las Vegas before, and I’ve coached Wigan before, but in my mind, I almost can’t get around to the fact that I’m going to do them both together.“We’ve had members of staff go over there and plan it as best we can. My job is to manage the group and make sure they’re as prepared as they can be, but I still want them to enjoy it, but there are things we need to get right in terms of rest.“It’s certainly a challenge but what a privilege to have that challenge. I’d hate not to be going.“I’ve said it a few times that we go to play against Warrington but we certainly go in partnership with them to show what British Super League is capable of.”
