Wigan Warriors beat Leigh Leopards in a Betfred Super League clash on Wednesday night, with manager Matt Peet highlighting his side's defensive performance as the key to victory.
Peet's Match Assessment
Speaking after the match, Peet said Warriors had to be "very good defensively" to overcome the well-rounded opposition. He singled out players Zach Eckersley and Noah Hodkinson for making "big plays" on the right edge during the contest.
Overcoming Injury Disruption
Warriors adapted to changes forced by injury, with Adam Keighran sidelined after being hurt during the final training session. Peet noted that his team showed character by identifying and correcting errors at half-time.
Leigh's strong kicking game had created pressure in the opening period, but Warriors were able to respond and secure the win.
