Peet: We are building

• Matt Peet said he is happy with what Wigan are building as his Warriors side defeated Wakefield Trinity to go top of the Super League table. 
• Peet: “So far we have had some good days, and a few bumps in the road but we will just keep working hard – I am happy with what we are building.” 
• FT | Wigan Warriors 22-6 Wakefield Trinity. 

Matt Peet revealed he is happy with what his side are building as Wigan Warriors moved top of the Super League table with a 22-6 win over Wakefield Trinity at the DW Stadium.  

“It is a long season, and we are aware of how much rugby there is to be played. So far we have had some good days, and a few bumps in the road but we will just keep working hard – I am happy with what we are building,” he said.  

On the match and Wakefield Trinity, Peet said: “Today was a different kind of game and a different kind of challenge. I thought our start was very professional, we set the tone pretty well and then might have taken our foot off the gas.  

“Credit to Wakefield though for some of their decision making on the edge. They are a team who are far from giving in, they fight all the way, and they make you work for it.” 

Peet praised Harvie Hill and Junior Nsemba, who came off the bench to make their first Super League appearances at the DW Stadium: “I thought they were good against a tough team. To see Harvie, Junior and Brad O’Neill in the mix is great for the club and they all showed glimpses of what they are capable of.” 

An injury update was also provided, as Peet confirmed: “Kaide Ellis was set to play but he pulled his hamstring in training this week so unfortunately, he is likely to be out for a month. With regards to Liam Farrell he is fine, but the smart thing to do was to give him a rest.” 

Speaking on the upcoming international break, Peet added: “I think the fact the break comes now won’t make a difference. I hope every player we have in this system can play for England – that is where they have to aspire to be.  

“Hopefully we have a few lads that play for England, but if not, it is an opportunity to freshen up and get some work done.”
