Wigan head coach Matt Peet hailed his side’s 30-18 Betfred Super League win over Warrington as “better than a final” as four members of his injury-hit squad scored their first senior tries at the Brick Community Stadium.
One of them, full-back Josh Cartwright, was only told he was starting on the morning of the game after an injury to Australian star Jai Field, who joined the likes of Junior Nsemba, Bevan French and Liam Farrell on the sidelines.
Taylor Kerr, Kian McDermott and Austin Daniel were the other first-time scorers on a brilliant night for Wigan’s academy system, and Peet added: “I’m so proud – they made it tough at times but they are tough kids and tough rugby league players and it is a privilege to coach them.”
