Matt Peet praised the execution of the game plan as the Warriors beat London Broncos 60-22 at the Cherry Red Records Stadium.
The Warriors scored 10 tries through nine different scorers in the capital to continue their perfect start to the Betfred Super League season.
Reflecting on the victory, Peet said: “I’m pleased with lots of aspects of it – such as the commitment to the play. There was some lovey play in what was a hard working display against a spirited team who certainly made it a contest. There were times in the game where things weren’t straightforward but Ryan Hampshire and Jack Farrimond were decisive in the way they managed those periods.”
On the execution of the game plan, Peet added: “Our middles as a whole were a really pleasing part of the game plan in which Thomas Leuluai does a great job at looking at other teams – sometimes it’s not about coming up with the big plays, but more the attention to detail on the simple ones.
“We played some good, direct stuff with the ball and chose to go through London rather than around them – that’s why our front rowers and dummy halves got on the scoresheet this afternoon.”
Jack Farrimond made his debut for the Club in the victory, and on the 18-year-olds performance, Peet said: “We think highly of Jack who is another good advertisement for our Academy. The main thing you look at for a young player is whether they are ready for the physical side of the game but I thought Jack was excellent in the way he stood up.”
On Farrimond, Peet added: “He showed he was there to compete from minute one, and we know that he has the ability and the skill set. It’s important we nurture him the right way but we look forward to seeing him continue to work hard and getting more opportunities.”
Peet made four changes to the side which beat Huddersfield Giants in Round 3, and on the absences of Bevan French, Harry Smith, Liam Marshall and Kaide Ellis, the Warriors head coach said: “We’ve just come out the back of an intense few matches so we rested them ahead of a short turn around against Salford. We also rotated to give the opportunities to other players as we have a squad which we intend to use.
“It’s important that all players are ready if they’re required as we want to get to a stage where it’s really hard to pick the first team, but even harder to pick the 17.”
