Coach Quotes:
Matt Peet says it’s ‘business as usual’ as his side aim to return to winning ways against Leeds Rhinos: “We understand we are going to have great days and less positive days. Our aim is to keep improving and building the club, and the players are very honest when they come into work. We have looked to see where we can improve, but it certainly wasn’t picking the players.”
He added: “Leeds are an exciting team. When they execute the way they are capable of doing, and with their commitment to the way they want to play, you have got to be on your guard. We have to prepare for their best, and the fact is they have some outstanding players and will come here fully determined.”
