Matt Peet has shared his excitement ahead of Thursday night’s Retro Round clash against Salford Red Devils.
Wigan host the Red Devils in the final round of the regular Betfred Super League season knowing a win will see the Warriors lift the League Leaders’ Shield for the second consecutive season.
On the prospect of lifting the shield, Peet said: “It’s a chance we’ve earned. It’s been a long season which has tested the full squad, staff and Club. That’s what the League Leaders’ Shield stands for – consistency.
“Hopefully we can get the job done and lift that trophy in front of our fans who have been brilliant. It would be great to do so in a stadium that has been full of energy and atmosphere in recent weeks. When the stadium is packed and the fans are onboard, it’s such a great place to play.”
Peet has named an unchanged squad to face the Red Devils, and on his selection, he said: “We’re in a healthy spot but one twist of fate and things can change. The group’s training hard, there’s competition for places, and everyone is wanting to build momentum towards the end of the year – we’re looking forward to Thursday night.”
On preparation for the clash, Peet said: “We’ve had to adapt, but it’s probably made us more focused about our work. We were in a Monday for a light field session and we’ve had a good training day today. The fact we have some momentum at the minute means we just want to build on that.”
Speaking on Salford, Peet said: “Every time we face Salford it’s a fight and a challenge and they’ll be coming here looking to test us. We have to expect the unexpected.”
Praising the Retro Round fixture, Peet said: “It’s a fantastic celebration of our heritage and history from the traditional to the weird and whacky. I’m sure we will see some of those shirts in the stands on Thursday night. It excites the players who have the chance to write their own page and make this shirt famous.”
