The National Rugby League (NRL) will adjust the kick-off times to NRL Pre-Season matches on Saturday, including the World Club Challenge between Penrith Panthers and St Helens.
The decision was made due to player safety concerns around the forecasted heat and humidity in Regional NSW and Western Sydney.
The NRL would like to thank broadcast partners FOX, SKY NZ and SKY UK as well as participating clubs (St George Illawarra Dragons, South Sydney Rabbitohs, Penrith Panthers, St Helens, Brisbane Broncos and North Queensland Cowboys) as well as venues for their cooperation and flexibility.
Updated kickoff times for Saturday's games
4.20pm — Dragons v Rabbitohs at Glen Willow Oval, Mudgee
6.50pm — Panthers v St Helens at Bluebet Stadium, Penrith
8:55pm (7:55pm local) — Broncos v Cowboys at Sunshine Coast Stadium
* All times listed above are in AEDT
