WIGAN boss Matt Peet wants better coaching welfare in Super League - and blasted those “sticking the knife in” on Huddersfield counterpart Ian Watson.
The two sides clash on Friday night with Watson under immense pressure after a 54-0 walloping at Leeds. On the eve of that game, Sky Sports reported Warrington, Huddersfield and Rhinos were all being linked with recently sacked Gold Coast boss Justin Holbrook. Hudersfield labelled it “incorrect” and “malicious” but it obviously led to more questions about Watson’s future after they copped such a mauling at Headingley.
To his credit, the under-fire coach answered everything that came his way about his position. But the battered former Salford boss clearly looked shell-shocked after suffering a seventh loss in just eight games. Asked how it makes him feel, Peet, 39, said: “I don’t like it at all. I understand why the game, or sometimes the media, goes down that route, looking for sensationalism.
