Wigan Warriors head to Huddersfield Giants on Friday night for a fixture that manager Matt Peet expects will test his squad against a side showing clear improvement under new coach Jim Lenihan.
Peet on Squad Character and Performance
Peet has praised the character shown by his team following their Round 18 victory, which featured a standout performance from a young player. However, he acknowledged areas requiring improvement, particularly around game management and decision-making under pressure.
Boost from Returning Players
The Warriors will be strengthened by the return of George Marsden and Jai Field to the squad, allowing Peet to make adjustments to his lineup for the Huddersfield match.
Huddersfield Threat
Peet has warned that Huddersfield have been moving in the right direction since Lenihan's arrival and will be looking to replicate an earlier season victory over Wigan. The Warriors' boss stressed the importance of starting well and maintaining intensity, noting that Huddersfield's clinical approach punished Wigan previously.
Peet encouraged his players to trust their preparation and keep improving as the season continues.
