Warrington coach Tony Smith is hoping Wigan can take the lead from his side's 27-18 win over Brisbane when they face NRL champions Cronulla on Sunday.
The Wolves proudly flew the flag for Super League, ending a six-match winning run by NRL opponents in the World Club Series, to set the lead for champions Wigan ahead of their title-deciding clash with the Sharks at the DW Stadium.
"I think it's important for the code in this part of the world, for Super League and for England," Smith said. "
I think it was important that we represented it in the right sort of way and I think we did.
"We showed that by our skill levels. Some of the Australian style is pretty predictable and we knew what was going to be thrown at us. In that first half I think you saw we were pretty well prepared and we handled it.

"It was important for us to lay some of the platform for them.
"We're also very grateful to Brisbane for coming over, some teams haven't wanted to come over. We're really keen to promote rugby league and so are they. We'd love to go over there and do it the other way around.
"It was a great occasion for our supporters. There will be young people in the stands who will talk about that game for the next 20, 30, 40 years."
