With his team performing at their best, Wigan Warriors are primed for an exciting 2025 season—and as Matt Peet expressed, he’s absolutely delighted with the way everything is coming together.
Wigan Warriors’ pre-season campaign is off to a flying start, and coach Matt
Peet couldn’t be more thrilled with his team’s performance. After a dominant
display in their opening pre-season match, the Warriors have set the tone for
what promises to be an exciting 2025 Super League season. Peet, who has
been at the helm since 2021, was all smiles after the match, expressing his
immense pride in how his team had approached the fixture and the way they
executed their plans.
“I couldn’t be happier with how the lads performed today,” Peet said, his face
lighting up with pride. “We’ve been working hard in training, and it’s fantastic
to see that translate onto the field. The intensity, the work ethic, and the skill—
everything came together. It’s exactly the start we were hoping for.”
Peet’s joy was evident as he watched his side execute their game plan to
perfection. The Warriors were in fine form, dominating both sides of the ball,
and their performance was a testament to the hard work they’ve put in during
the off-season. The physicality and precision they showcased were clear signs
that they are ready to hit the ground running in the 2025 Super League.
A Statement Performance in the Opening Match.
The pre-season fixture was never going to be about just the result—it was
about setting down a marker for the season ahead. Wigan’s dominant display
left no doubt that they are serious contenders for the Super League title. From
the opening whistle, the Warriors were in complete control, putting on a clinic
in both attack and defense.
The forwards were strong and relentless, winning the battle in the middle of
the park and laying the foundation for their attacking plays. The backline was
equally impressive, displaying fluid passing and quick thinking to create
chances from almost every phase of play. It was a performance full of intensity
and precision, with the Warriors clearly on a mission to set the tone for the
season.
“We had a real focus on getting our structures right, and I think we saw that
today,” Peet explained. “The boys did everything we asked of them and more.
We wanted to set the tempo early, play fast, and be physical—and that’s exactly
what we did. I’m so proud of the effort they put in.”
Building Momentum for the Season Ahead.
For Peet, the goal of the pre-season is not just about building fitness but also
creating cohesion and refining strategies for the upcoming challenges. While
winning is always a positive outcome, Peet stressed that the focus is on the
bigger picture: preparing for the season ahead.
“We’ve got a talented group, but we know there’s still a lot of work to do,” Peet
said. “This win is great, but we’re looking at the bigger picture. We’re building
towards a long season, and we’ve got to be ready to take on every challenge
that comes our way. Today was a good step in the right direction, but there’s
plenty of room for improvement.”
Despite this, Peet couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride in what his players had
achieved in the opening match. The positive energy from the win will no doubt
fuel their drive as they continue to refine their play and prepare for the Super
League campaign. With a blend of experienced players and exciting new talent,
Wigan looks poised to be one of the teams to watch in 2025.
The Road to Glory Begins.
The Warriors’ pre-season performance has sent a clear message to their rivals:
Wigan are back and ready to challenge for the top honors. With an impressive
blend of youth and experience, this team has the potential to make a serious
push for the Super League title.
Peet’s leadership and his ability to get the best out of his squad will be crucial
as the Warriors head into the regular season. While the pre-season win was a
major boost, Wigan’s true test will come when the Super League begins, and
the real challenges start to unfold. However, with a team full of talent and
determination, the Warriors have laid a solid foundation for what could be an
unforgettable season.
As Peet prepares his side for the upcoming matches, he knows that this is just
the beginning. With his team firing on all cylinders, Wigan Warriors are ready
to embark on a thrilling 2025 season—and, as Matt Peet puts it, he couldn’t be
happier with how things are shaping up.
