Wane urges team to ‘make people proud of us again’
Wigan look to return to form that saw them win seven consecutive league games
Wigan face St Helens at the DW Stadium on Friday 19th August, 8pm kick-off
Wigan Warriors Head Coach Shaun Wane has urged his side to ‘make people proud of us again’ ahead of the Super 8s Derby with St Helens.
The Warriors head into the Derby having won one of their last four Super League games.
Wigan won seven consecutive league games before their current run and Wane is keen for his team to return to their previous form.
“It’s a massive game, it’s the Super 8s against our arch-rivals so it’s a huge game for us.” He said.
“We need to do better than we did last time against Saints but it’s 1-1 between us this season. We hammered them at their home and they hammered us at our place so we’re very motivated.
“We know how important it is but we all believe what we can do. We all trust each other and it’s up to us to make people proud of us again.”
The Warriors, along with members of the media, visited Haigh Hall FootGolf on Monday afternoon as part of a team bonding exercise.
On the trip, Wane said: “It was always planned, we showed the players how many times we could have got Castleford so it was a positive training session in the morning.
“The players are working really hard but it’s important that they still have some downtime at the minute. When they get closer to the game on Friday then they can start getting revved up a bit but we just needed them to have a bit of time together and enjoy each others company.”
On Friday’s game, Wane said the team were using the last clash with Saints as motivation for the game: “I’ve shown some clips from last time we played Saints and we defended quite well.
“There were some little things like a kick through and Sam (Tomkins) droped it, normally Sam would collect those sorts of kicks so there’s ways of fixing it but we’re very positive.
“We missed some chances last time we played them so we need to make sure we take those this time and get our attack back to where it should be.”
