Speaking ahead of 2022, Matt Peet said: “I want to drive that connection between the staff and players and most importantly between the players and the fans and the town. We need to engage with the town, engage with the fans, provide a team and a style of rugby that this town can get behind and that starts with our day-to-day interactions, our day-to-day work.” 

New players

Ellis, 25, joins Wigan from St George Illawarra Dragons and is set to stay at the DW Stadium until at least the end of 2023, with the option of a third year.

Mago, a 26-year-old prop from South Sydney Rabbitohs has put pen to paper on a two-year contract and will remain with Wigan until at least the end of the 2023 season, with the option of a third year.

Miski, 26, has signed a two-year contract with the Warriors and has the option of a third year.

The Lebanese winger has previously played for Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles. He has signed from London Broncos after an impressive 2021 season in the Betfred Championship.

On signing for the Warriors, Miski told Wigan TV: “I know how great the Club is and everything about them speaks professionalism and I wanted to be here. I jumped on the opportunity. 

“I know it’s a proud Club. Everyone who I’ve spoken to from Wigan takes pride in this Club and I definitely want to be a part of that. Next year will be exciting with it being the 150th year for the Club and I’m glad to be a part of that. I can’t wait.”
