Wigan Warriors pre-season key focus highlighted with injury report provided
The first group of players returned to Robin Park in preparations for next year at the end of November, with Matt Peet’s squad to return in stages, with England internationals and overseas stars to report back at a later date.
Tyler Dupree, Tiaki Chan, Sam Walters and Sam Eseh were among the first batch of players to return to training, alongside the five promoted academy youngsters in Noah Hodkinson, Taylor Kerr, Nathan Lowe, Lukas Mason and Kian McDermott, and new recruit George Hirst.
“Liam Byrne and Kruise Leeming joined in this week. we’re probably up to around 16 players now they’re in,” head coach Matt Peet told Wigan Today. “So far, so good.
“As I’ve said in the past in pre-seasons, it’s about consistency. Everyone comes in and trains really hard and I’m very fortunate that we’ve got a group of players here that know the expectations, but they’re also very good professionals. I think the modern athlete comes back in good shape.”
Continuing on pre-season preparations, Peet has highlighted key focuses as the 40-year-old head coach explained: “Fundamentals; you’ve got to have those fundamentals whether it’s core skill, or whether it’s strength and conditioning. Every player has got an individual plan of where they want to improve in all aspects of the game.
“It’s all about doubling down on our fundamentals and the basics of the game at the moment. Building that connection between the group and the staff, and taking it from there.
“Every year, we work on our physical work and our core skills. Plenty of skill drills and improving on fundamental skills – that’s the way we work.”
