Peet: Nice win – Wigan Warriors

Peet added: “He is a very popular member of this team with both players and coaches. He’s a pleasure to coach and he’s always been the same when he’s done it – he’s driven, he’s hardworking and you can tell he’s been brought up well by his family.”

Of Harry Smith, who was named Sky Sports player of the match, Peet said: “There are some teams, when the weather changes, you know they’ve got players who can handle the kicking game – Harry did that. It was a good battle between Harry and Marc (Sneyd) in terms of game management and their footwork – I was pleased with Harry and his intelligence.”

Mike Cooper and Harvie Hill are back in the side and on the duo, Peet said: “They are both excellent players who are in the mix anyway. It was a game where the middle unit had to focus as you were challenged with a lot of smart play. Overall, I thought our concentration levels were good.”

Praising the Warriors’ depth in the middle, Peet added, “It’s a strength of ours. A lot of people tell me about the difficulty of having depth and competition in that position, but you need it because the forward pack is the only area where you’re tested all year. The forward guys all compete, but they do it together, which makes it a pleasure to coach. They all have slightly different skill sets, but their chemistry is good.”
