Coach quotes

Speaking on their opponents this week, Peet said: “They’ll be well aware that they’ve had the knock on us for the last few years. Last year, it felt like they were quite strong against us, I think they’ll be expecting to win.

“They’ve been turning us over recently,  they’ll be full of confidence, their players are used to beating us in the last few meetings. We’ll be trying our hardest but we know we come up against a tough team that are desperate to find form, they come off the back of a win over a top side in Huddersfield, it looks like the tides are turning for Warrington and we know we’ll have our hands full.”
