I don’t know it has been mentioned anywhere but I’ve only just seen it mentioned for the first time that Peet has signed a three year contract. It is hidden in the middle of an article with Peet in the Wigan Post. That’s good backing for him and I’m pleased we’re not just going year to year. The club needs to start looking forward with long term certainty and stability.

I agree we need that stability and that contract gives Peet a chance to make improvements over a period of time. However we have to be strong enough to bite the bullet if we need to (and I really hope it doesn’t come to that). We weren’t when it came to Lam and it set us back further IMO. If IFL/KR knew Peet was going to take charge, and was already at the club, it just provides more mystery as to why Lam wasn’t sacked and replaced with Peet, even if the coaching staff appointments didn’t immediately follow.

With the financial state of the club over the the last couple of years or so due to the Pandemic and a reported seasons lost of over £400.000, I would have thought it was obvivous why the club did not sack him during his period of contract.

Far cheaper to allow a person to play out his contract without possible compensation and also not pay out an additional contract to another person to replace him in the circumstances.

Wigan Warriors are not a Football Club!

Warrington let their coaches contract run down, Saints did the same but Woolf had the 3rd year option in his favour.

How much do you think they, along with Leeds lost last year?

Probably a lot more than us as they had to run their own stadiums whilst generating zero revenue!

Having watched Mat Peet interview on Wigan TV he comes over as confident person. He wants to get the best out of players if he thinks they are slacking he said that they will told they have to improve. He did say if they dont want to wear the Wigan shirt with pride then they will be shown the door .He wants to integrate more with the Wigan public both on and off the field .He has inherited a lot of Wanes attitude and it was him who wanted Lee Briars as coach having worked with at International colts level.in ILs he is hailing the coaching set up as a new venture there are no backs coach and forwards coach both Lockers and Briers are both assistants and will be picking the team together.

Why hasn’t he stepped in the last few years if people have been slacking? He’s been in a fairly senior position so what’s stopped him?

Briers and Lockers picking the team? Where has that been said?

Maybe he did step in and the head coach ignored him?
