Wigan Warriors boss Matt Peet calls for a strong London Broncos in Super League – Total Rugby League

WIGAN WARRIORS head coach Matt Peet has called for a strong London Broncos side to be involved in Super League.

The writing was on the wall for the capital club before a ball had even been kicked during Super League 2024, as their IMG score of 8.07 ranked them 24th out of 36 professional clubs.

That inevitably means the Broncos will be relegated after just one season, regardless of where they finish on the ladder.

For Peet, he wants to see a stable London included in the Super League in the future.

“I think the first thing is that everybody would like to see a strong London Broncos,” Peet said.

“It would be great for British Rugby League and Super League, so I think the long-term aim should be to get the London Broncos in there and create where they can eventually get a place in the top flight. “

The Wigan boss also had kind words to say about the way head coach Mike Eccles and his players have gone about their business this season.

“I think on top of that, Mike (Eccles) and the way his team have attacked this year in difficult circumstances, they’ve done it with honor every time they’ve been on the field.

“Everyone understands they’re dealing with it, but they’re not moaning and playing the game the right way.

“I just feel like they did and gave it their all and they can be proud of that. They have a lot of class about them, which is not easy when they lose games.

“I feel like every game they compete in, they’re connected to each other. I think I can hold my head up.”
