WIGAN prop Mike Cooper reckons the gloves will be off in the World Club Challenge and Super League's card frenzy temporarily ditched.
All eyes are on Saturday's showdown between Warriors and NRL premiers Penrith at a sold-out DW Stadium.
Wigan hope to conquer the world for a record-equalling fifth time.
But they have a nervous wait to see if England scrum-half Harry Smith features.
He was sin-binned by referee Tom Grant for a tip-tackle in their Super League opener at Castleford on Saturday.
The match review panel will decide today whether Smith warrants a ban.
Tigers boss Craig Lingard claimed video referee Jack Smith recommended a red card at the weekend, only to be ignored by the on-field official.
