Peet: Looked composed
- Matt Peet praised his side after Wigan Warriors’ Super League victory over Leigh Leopards.
- Peet: “We looked composed in the way we defended which isn’t an easy thing to do as it takes a lot of work and a lot people doing their roles.”
- FT | Leigh Leopards 12-40 Wigan Warriors.
Matt Peet praised his side after Wigan Warriors recorded a 40-12 Super League victory over Leigh Leopards.
The Warriors bounced back in style as eight different scorers crossed in an emphatic victory at Leigh Sports Village.
On the performance, Peet said: “I liked our intent at the start of the game as well as our energy and physicality. Leigh showed good attacking shape but I thought we looked composed in the way we defended which isn’t an easy thing to do as it takes a lot of work and a lot people doing their roles.”
Praising Junior Nsemba’s Player of the Match performance, Peet said: “He was very good tonight. I was disappointed I didn’t get him on last week but I was determined to introduce him early tonight and he grabbed the opportunity with both hands.”
On Nsemba’s first Super League try, Peet said: “I enjoyed it. It’s great to see a young player enjoy moments like that. It was a big night for him and Harvie [Hill] who deserves credit for a strong performance on his first start for the Club.”
Willie Isa scored his first try since September 2021 in the win, and on his performance, Peet said: “It’s very pleasing as he does so much unselfish work for us especially in defence. He’s not involved in lots of the highlight moments but we appreciate the work he does and he’s critical for us in his role.”
The Warriors travel to Castleford Tigers in the Challenge Cup quarter-final next Sunday. Tickets for the clash are available to purchase from the DW Stadium Ticket Office and online HERE.
