Dunbar Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Great to see a British coach given a chance at a major club. I hope Peet is a massive success.

Vambo Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I asked in a previous thread if Briers had anything lined up after Wire 'cos I thought he'd be a good addition. Looks to me like a decent coaching set up but I guess only time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Frightful Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Wigan chairman Ian Lenagan said at a press conference to unveil the new backroom team: “We are delighted to appoint from within. “This is not a cheap option, it is a big investment in coaching.” If Lenagan feels the need to stress that it's not a cheap option, my thoughts are that most Wigan fans will feel it is.

redjonn Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 As a matter of interest how much does the like of Wigan or any other top SL club spend on the coaching and backroom related coaching staff. Plus how does that compare with the salary cap for players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate90 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I'm actually happy with this as Peet has the right people around him and will need to answer to Wane. Briers is an interesting one hopefully he can add some attacking structure like Iestyn Harris did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulwalker71 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 How do Wigan fans feel about a rookie coach having a big beast (literally as well as figuratively) like Shaun Wane rumbling around in the background itching to get his hands on the coaching reins? How long will it be before Matt Peet is conveniently moved aside for Wane? After the World Cup would be the obvious shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the World Cup would be the obvious shout. Probably sensible they are not unveiling this plan yet. As I remember the last grand coaching plan fell apart after a few weeks. I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

EagleEyePie Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I have no issue with the appointment of Peet. He's been assistant coach and has the desire to be a head coach and has now followed the same path that Shaun Wane did. If you have someone at the club who you think would be a good head coach then why wouldn't you appoint them? As our defence coach Peet is pretty much the only one of the coaching team from this year who was doing a good job. Will it work? Who knows! Coaching appointments can be a bit of a lottery. Success at one team doesn't automatically mean success at another. Success as a coach doesn't necessarily mean success as a head coach. Ultimately having the strongest team is the best way to be successful and that's why Peet probably won't succeed. He's being tasked with getting more from less and that's not very likely in any sport. Hopefully Briers can help the team in attack and work on our kicking game and bring some improvements from what was served up this season. John Winder seemed to be the coach with the attacking/backs focus and he's moved on now so hopefully Briers and O'Loughlin will provide better results in that department.

I assume its not about the skill of the person kicking as that's a basic skill for a player as in say the half back doing the kicking. If you want a good field kicking half back then its about recruiting a good skilled half back or scrum half, etc. That is if those players are poor at filed kicking then they are a poor half back. I mean nobody would recruit a full back if he can't catch a high ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean nobody would recruit a full back if he can't catch a high ball. Kicking is definitely a skill that can be learned and developed over time. It's not a talent that is simply possessed without practice so if someone is poor at field kicking then it definitely can be improved with coaching. However, I did mean in a broader sense. When it comes to kicking Harry Smith is incredibly skillful but this season he's been erratic at times and made some bad decisions. That's something that coaching can improve. Coaching can also help a half improve their organisation by directing the players into the best setup for a kick. The whole team has a role to play in having a good kicking game and that's where we can improve. Matty Smith had an excellent kicking game but once Wigan lost Harris and Deacon from the coaching staff his kicking game went downhill quickly. For whatever reason Lam has not had a positive effect on our playmakers. Maybe Lam was too much of a natural talent - it came easy to him so it's harder to teach others.
