Wigan Warriors boss Matt Peet watched Harry Smith kick leaders Warrington Wolves into touch and insisted: “He can get even better.”
The uncapped scrum-half, 23, got an England call-up on Thursday. And he celebrated barely 24 hours later by outplaying England star George Williams as Wigan ruthlessly ended Wolves’ eight-game winning start. Peet said: “Harry works hard on his kicking game. Tommy Leuluai's done a good job there mentoring him. He practices incredibly hard and it’s something that's going to get better.
"It certainly makes it easier for the lads to defend the way they are doing when they've got kicks to go after like Harry puts in. But the lads work hard to lay the foundation to put Harry into position to kick; our defence backs his kicks up and vice versa. I was pleased with our display against a very good team who challenge you. We knew we had to be at our best. Our commitment was great.”
