Coaches Quotes

Matt Peet spoke to Wigan TV earlier this week ahead of the trip to the capital.

The Warriors head coach said: “London will show determination, pride and hard work as they are committed group with who present their own challenges so we will have to be somewhere close to our best to win the game. 

“We will concentrate on improving the lessons learnt from Penrith and Huddersfield so we can improve as a group and take the team to the next level.”
