Highlights of World Club Challenge between Wigan Warriors and Penrith Panthers
The Wigan-born coach then rounded off his trophy collection when his side beat the Penrith Panthers 16-12 to be crowned World Club Champions last month, and expressed his delight at agreeing a seven-year deal after beginning contract negotiations with Warriors chief executive Kris Radlinski ahead of the start of the 2024 season.
“Kris started the discussions with myself and told me what he had in mind, and told me he wanted to do something unique and would I be open to committing to the club for something longer than the norm?” Peet told Sky Sports News.
“With the vision the club have with Kris and the new owner, Mike Danson, it was a really appealing offer from him. We’ve continued talking over the last few weeks and to get it sorted is fantastic.
“It makes me very proud. It’s a job which brings great responsibility and I love to do it.”
Playing greats O’Loughlin and Leuluai have both coached at the Warriors since hanging up their boots, making 458 and 134 appearances for the club respectively.
