Delighted Matt Peet hailed Wigan's stunning effort after the holders shrugged off Kaide Ellis' red card to dump "crazy" Warrington out of the Betfred Challenge Cup.
The Aussie prop, 26, was sent off inside just SEVEN minutes for headbutting Wolves captain Stefan Ratchford. But the inspired hosts dug deep, produced an immense defensive effort against the joint-Super League leaders and were worthy winners as they set up a semi-final clash with Hull KR.
Boss Peet enthused: “I’m proud of the team. They showed huge commitment and endeavour and that’s what we asked for all week. I didn’t ask how he (Ellis) was feeling, but I told him how I was feeling: what I said was totally supportive and I’m really pleased how we didn’t let that (red card) affect us. It was a very dramatic game, and in the end, the hard work of the lads paid off.”
