WIGAN WARRIORS SHOCKED AS HEAD COACH MATT PEET DEPARTS FOR NRL GIANTS.
In a stunning move, Wigan Warriors head coach Matt Peet has left the Super League club to take the reins at NRL side Canterbury Bulldogs, effective immediately. The news has sent shockwaves through the rugby league world, leaving players, fans, and officials reeling.
Peet, who led the Warriors to a playoff semifinal appearance last season, had been touted as one of the brightest young coaches in the sport. His departure comes just weeks before the start of the new Super League season, leaving Wigan scrambling to find a replacement.
“I’m devastated,” said Wigan captain Liam Farrell. “Matt was more than just a coach, he was a mate. We’ll miss him dearly.” The Warriors’ board is holding an emergency meeting to discuss Peet’s replacement, with assistant coach Sean O’Loughlin tipped to take the interim reins.
Peet’s move to the Bulldogs is seen as a major coup for the NRL side, who are looking to rebuild after a disappointing season. The rugby league world is left to wonder: what’s next for Wigan, and can they recover from this shocking loss?
