MATTY WANTS WIGAN REPEET

But the Warriors boss know that his team still have plenty to do to earn the right.

- DAVE CRAVEN

MATTY PEET hopes Wigan can follow St Helens’ lead and bring down the world’s finest.

Peet is full of praise for four-peat Super League champions Saints after Saturday’s epic World Club Challenge success over NRL premiers Penrith.

It gave all of the competition here a shot in the arm and was the first time a British side had won in Australia since Wigan’s famous 1994 victory against Brisbane.

But it also provided Challenge Cup holders Wigan – second favourites for Super League – a timely reminder of how far they need to go, given they suffered a poor 27-18 opening-day loss at Hull KR just hours later.
