Matt Peet thrilled as Wigan Warriors rise to another big occasion

MATT PEET was delighted with the way his Wigan Warriors side performed in Paris.

Seven days after winning the Challenge Cup, Wigan enjoyed a 40-16 triumph over Catalans Dragons at Stade Jean Bouin.

“I’m very proud of the performance and of the result as well,” said Peet.

“Coming into a game like this, we knew it would have a big-game feel about it and any sort of result would have been a positive one.

“But with the manner of the performance too, I am particularly pleased with the effort we invested at the start of the game.”

“I was involved when we went to the Nou Camp (to face Catalans in 2019) and it’s a big deal for Catalans, make no mistake.

“They would have been very determined to get it right today with a new coach (in John Cartwright).

“We spoke about it like it was another big game. I’m very pleased.”
