Peet not take any interest in the recent academy roses games then?

Perhaps the message wasn't meant entirely for our benefit? A cheap dig and a shot across our bows yes, but also maybe a bit of something for others at Wigan biding their time and wondering what else is on offer.

What it does show, is that it's hurt them that they've invested but not necessarily first pick

Pete's little tantrum is the best result we have had for a while.

Quote ="Captain Hook"“Saint” Matty Peet allowing his halo to slip. This must’ve really hurt! https://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/sp ... lson-move/'" Well, there's confirmation that we've signed a very good player.

Why not get rid of willie isa to open up a spot in the backrow?
.did they really need to spend money on bringing bateman back from the nrl,cant have it both ways

Sounds like poor first team management to me.

Same reason anyone signs for Wire £££

Conveniently forgotten the mid 80s to mid 90s???

I don't know much about this lad but the wigan posters who have come on here all speak well of him, peet has spat his dummy out about losing him (I hope agent Briers was involved) and saddened has trolled Wigan about this signing and not us on this thread.

Looking forward to seeing him in the pnb, early indications are that this is a great signing.

Great signing, the kid has good ball skills, a good running game and is not afraid to do the tough stuff.

Bringing up stuff from 30/40 years ago.







At least Wigan managed success then hence you’ve bottled up jealousy all these years later.

Which players have Warrington signed who’ve improved since signing for them ?

You could sign Nathan Cleary and I’m convinced he’d be bang average as soon as he pulls on the Wire shirt.

They go because they normally have the highest offer. Down tools and go through the motions (George Williams, Gareth Widdop etc)

And you wonder why you aren’t successful?

Think most Wire fans will agree with me.

I recall all the excitement and laughing at Wigan fans when you signed Williams. How’s that worked out?

Fitzpatrick seems to love “getting one over on Wigan” he’s comments when Gelling signed showed this.

Wigan will go about winning trophies with a home grown coach with a team packed with home grown talent.

Saints to their credit will do the same.

Nicholson should become a great player but he’s left an elite performance culture and entered a poor one.


Also agent Briers is having the time of his life.

I’m the bitter one??

I think we've found Matty P's RLFANS account

Our scholarship has just beaten saints away….we probably signed them all from a Wigan crèche.

This is sage observational work.

Now about this “home grown coach” at Saints…
As for “agent Briers”, what does that actually mean in this context?

Pretty ironic him having a go at our academy in regards to signing Matty Nicholson, 18 from Halifax.

And their best players this year, the home grown talent of jail field and bevan french

Well he's chased the money elsewhere cos he can't get in the team ahead of another homegrown wigan talent, in Morgan smithies, who I think is also from Halifax

He also mentioned us poaching Dean Beddall, who Wigan signed from Crossfields . . .

Really encouraging signing. In another thread the other day I was saying I liked the days when we were signing top talent who had emerged at other clubs and then signed for us young and played the bulk of their careers with us (Briers, Westwood, Harrison, Bridge, Grix, Atkins, Hill, Ratchford, Myler). This seems like a signing in that mould.

Phew…pnb, thought you said pub for a second…
Not again I thought. I had visions of the London Bridge and card schools.

Typo, I did actually mean pub.

No they couldn`t do that, they have to be loyal to their homegrown players that have been developed in their Academy.

They do have a point, we’ve been here before signing academy products on birth contracts. Morgan Smith being the most obvious.

We shouldn’t be that club, given the academy that we have, but we are.

That said, Peet has just dangled the carrot for Nicholson to get his head down and work hard.

Wigan fans gutted, Saints fans laughing at Wigan and saying fair play to wire, Peet throwing his toys out the pram and now this post.

What a wonderful day
