Wigan Warriors: The impressive numbers behind current squad and coaching staff

There are some impressive stats behind the current Wigan Warriors squad and coaching staff...

5– Wigan Warriors have now claimed five World Club Challenge titles, equalling the record held by NRL giants Sydney Roosters.

66 – Head coach Matt Peet has won every trophy available in just 66 games in charge of the club

11 – Tyler Dupree is yet to lose a game in cherry & white since making the move from Salford last July, winning three titles – League Leaders’ Shield, Super League and the World Club Challenge. He only missed the 28-6 win over the Red Devils last September, with 11 appearances in total.

50 – At just 21-years-old, Brad O’Neill marked his 50th club appearance in the 16-12 win over Penrith Panthers.

14 – Liam Farrell has won 14 titles to date and is the only member remaining from the 2017 World Club Challenge victory over Cronulla Sharks.

6 – The Wigan captain has also been included in the dream team six times, equalling Sam Tomkins' record of five consecutive selections from 2009-2013.

24 – The average age of the current world champions.

10 – Former captain and current assistant coach Sean O’Loughlin won 10 major honours during his playing career

12 – The number of current Wigan players who have been capped internationally.

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

What has astonished me is how quickly Peet’s methods have yielded these results. 66 games to win the lot!! One of these days we should dig out the “Matty who?” threads…
The future is uncertain, but if you have the right people with the right values working hard and doing the right things you have done all you can to make it bright.
It is a privilege to be a fan in these times.

I’ve known Matt a long time & his coaching skills all those years ago were evident 😊

I remember him doing an interview years ago with Joe Mills who asked him would he like to be a Head Coach? He replied no, he had no ambition to become one!
