Coach Quotes
Matt Peet says he is looking forward to the ‘occasion’ as his side take on Wakefield Trinity on ‘family fun day’ with the Warriors: “We’ll approach Wakefield in as much detail as we do with everybody else but priority is on improving our own performances and there’s layers in our attack that we need to add and that’s what our focus is – on being a better team.”
He added: “I love the occasion and love the fact that we can play our part. Sometimes during the games it’s very focused, quite intense but I love knowing that the Club is doing so much around the fixtures and I think it brings the best out of the players.”
