Two struggling NRL clubs are reportedly eyeing Super League coach Matt Peet for a potential move to Australia, with a future coaching opportunity in mind, per WWOS.
Peet, the head coach of the two-time Super League champions Wigan Warriors, is currently signed to a long-term deal with the club until the end of 2030.
Wigan secured Peet's services for the extended period following his remarkable success, which includes two Super League titles and a World Club Challenge victory over the Penrith Panthers in 2024.
Peet's career saw a brief stint in rugby union in 2018 before he returned to Wigan as an assistant coach. Since taking over as head coach, Peet has led the club to seven major trophies in just three years, establishing a formidable record.
Boasting a 77% win rate in the Super League, Peet's success has sparked interest from NRL clubs eager to lure him to Australia.
His winning percentage is ahead of legendary NRL coaches like Wayne Bennett, Craig Bellamy, and Ivan Cleary, making him a highly sought-after talent.

NRL clubs eyeing Super League coach
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

Re: NRL clubs eyeing Super League coach
If he has any brains, he will stay where he is for at least 2-3 years.
I don't believe contracts are worth the paper they are written on in the sporting world so arguing that he is here until 2030 is pointless (at least from the club's perspective).
I think he will stay on for a few years yet.
