Matt Peet praised his Wigan Warriors side after a massive victory over Catalans Dragons at the Stade Gilbert Brutus.

Reflecting on the performance, Peet said: “I just told the lads how proud I was and we spoke on the things that made me proud. There were a lot of stand outs in what was a well balanced performance which is what you need when you come here. We’ve learnt a lot from that performance which is definitely a step in the right direction.”

Speaking on the contest, Peet said: “It seems like a massive turn over but really it’s fine margins – there wasn’t as much difference as the score suggests. We started the match the better, got control and managed to keep it with a disciplined performance and some excellent kicking.”

The Warriors remain second in the table while closing the gap to two points on leaders Catalans. On the league standings, Peet said: “If we keep winning we’ll put ourselves in a decent spot, but that’s the same for Catalans and St Helens. We are very confident that if our performances are at the right level then we are capable of achieving things.”

Praising the preparation ahead of the trip to Perpignan, Peet said: “The performance staff did a great job this week in preparing the team and it showed today – full credit goes to them.”

The Warriors were backed by a vocal travelling support, and on the fans, Peet said: “The fact we’ve got so many fans who invest money and build a holiday around coming to watch this team – we owe it to them. I know today they’ll have enjoyed it as much as we have.”
