Peet: I knew we would appear on Big Stage | Burgess: We were not willing to do the hard things

Wigan Warrior’s main coach Matt Peet to Sky Sports:

“I think both teams tried to play some open rug towns and both defense were tested. It came down to a lot of Scramble defense and I’m really proud of the performance.

“This group is rising to the big apartment and I was convinced the whole week we would perform.”

Warrington Wolves Head coach Sam Burgess to Sky Sports:

“I was disappointed with the result with certainty. We’ve missed an opportunity on a big stage for a big moment.

“We weren’t willing to do the hard things in the back of the first half, and it cost us the game. Forty-eight points are really disappointing.

“It’s the first time in my time at the club that we haven’t been in the game. It’s a new one I have to find out.”
