Matt Peet spoke to the press following Wigan Warriors’ Betfred SupeR League loss to St Helens at the Totally Wicked Stadium.

Despite Bevan French’s second half try to put the Warriors ahead, the hosts scored two late tries to hand the Cherry and Whites a first defeat of 2024.

Reflecting on the result, Peet said: “Obviously we are disappointed as we are to lose any game, but in particularly on a Good Friday as we know how much this one means to our supporters.”

Peet added: “Underlying the disappointment there’s some pride to take from certain aspects of our performance, as well as some learnings. We leave here disappointed, but with some optimism and confidence.”

On individual performances, Peet said: “I thought Brad O’Neill and Luke Thompson were excellent, and Harry [Smith] and Bev did some good things as well. We are disappointed for today, but optimistic for the future.”

Speaking on the travelling support, Peet said: “Ultimately they don’t go home happy. We are going to hurt on this one and improve off the back of it. I hope the fans could see that the team were committed, and that they have a good Easter weekend with their families.”
