The Wigan Warriors coach, Matt Peet, has insisted Super League should take more pride in its own competition instead of comparing itself with the NRL after the Warriors helped secure back-to-back triumphs for English clubs in the World Club Challenge.
The Super League champions defeated the NRL premiers, Penrith Panthers, in a gripping contest at the DW Stadium, with Jake Wardle’s second-half try the difference in a 16-12 victory. Super League clubs have defeated their Australian counterparts in consecutive years for the first time since 2008, St Helens having defeated the same opposition last term.
