It only needs Matty Peet to think of legendary Wigan “enforcer” Kelvin Skerrett to be reminded why he wants to return Challenge Cup glory to the club.
The rookie head coach grew up watching the brilliant Warriors side that won the famous trophy eight years running from 1988 to 1995. But they have not lifted it since 2013 - a relative famine - and something Wiganer Peet hopes to remedy in his first season in charge. They face holders and fierce rivals St Helens at Elland Road on Saturday for a place in the final, held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium rather than Wembley on May 28.
