I think Peet is proving to be a good coach & I’ve enjoyed watching his Wigan team this year but let’s not forget the rugby served up by the Wigan teams of Wane & Maguire. Some great talents in those teams but they served up some of the most negative & petty rugby I’ve had the misfortune to observe.
Sorry Matty you’ve got to take this one on the chin, out played old boy!

I agree.
The point is that he said it as an off the cuff type remark but, it's like death by a thousand cuts.
He knew exactly why he was saying it and he is having a pop at Trinity (and other clubs), it's not on.

The irony is that Wigan have been and still are one of the grubbiest sides in the comp but, that's obviously ok ?

In fairness to Peet, what he actually said was watching saints v Leeds, not saints and Leeds. And on that score he's not wrong - they've torn us a new one for the last god knows how many times we've met

What he said was:

"It's like watching different sports at times, when you see say Wigan v Warrington or St Helens v Leeds, compared some of the other games that descend into a bit of stop start.
I understand that some teams have to play to their strengths and also negate the strength of the opposition, but it's probably not the product we are looking for"

Pretty disingenuous to clubs other than the four that he specifically mentions and as I suggested, these comments are made for a reason and whilst it's easy to see why he would be bitter after his side got well beaten by Trinity, this kind of comment is unwelcome and damaging to the other clubs and the sport of RL.

Wigan are a very successful club, no question but, they certainly havent always been a shining light of how to run a club and how to play the game.

I’d say all clubs have to play to their strengths wrencat in order to compete and credit to poching for plotting their downfall and getting the squad to play to an almost perfect game plan against a team that can rack up cricket scores in the blink of an eye .Nothing is assured in our game but I bet mr Peet had already got them down for a win even before a ball was kicked in anger ,and that’s why imo the derogatory comments , after being outfoxed and out muscled

He should have took a look at how his [iown[/i team played.......
Outhought, Outplayed and Out enthused...... A lot of "outs" there...........


I honestly think him and his team thought they just had to turn up and win......
