But wigan are a big club and only grand finals are the measure of a coaches worth it'll be interesting to see how the season.pans out.
I agree with you - Peet is looking good, but we'll know better at the end of the season.
I'm more confident that we can win trophies with this team than with last year's, and Peet's influence must be a big part of that - at the very least he'll be telling Rads what changes he'd like to make to the squad and our 2 centres are, I guess, evidence that he knows what he's doing.
Another reason for confidence is the intensity we maintained for the 3 matches you mention. Easing off v Wakey may be another sign of Peet's influence. There must be a hundred subtle ways that a coach affects the club/team, and the signs are that Matty is getting a lot of them right.
