Wigan Warriors head coach Matt Peet has given his verdict after his side\u2019s fourth straight Super League loss following the defeat to Warrington Wolves.<\/p>\n
The Cherry and Whites lost 23-6<\/a> on the road with Zach Eckersley\u2019s breakaway try Wigan\u2019s only score but it wasn\u2019t enough as Josh Thewlis and Albert Hopoate both scored a brace, with Marc Sneyd adding seven points from the boot, including his 50th Super League drop goal.<\/p>\n Wigan were without first-choice halves Bevan French and Harry Smith and they quickly saw stand-in Adam Keighran moved out as a Liam Marshall injury caused a reshuffle with young loose forward Taylor Kerr stepping in to partner Jack Farrimond.<\/p>\n That inexperience in the halves and the missing players are major points of mitigation but that didn\u2019t stop Matt Peet expressing disappointment at his side\u2019s performance at the Halliwell Jones Stadium<\/p>\n Initially labelling it \u2018tough to watch at some times\u2019, Peet did express pride as he spoke to Sky Sports post-match: \u201cI\u2019m quite proud of the effort from the players but there were moments that we\u2019d wish we had again.<\/p>\n \u201cBoth teams are in similar situations stretched positionally and ultimately Warrington managed it better and we did execute it better than we did.<\/p>\n \u201cWe didn\u2019t take out opportunities but I thought the effort was start to finish.\u201d<\/p>\n Wigan Warriors\u2019 worries, Hull FC drama and NRL takeover talk \u2013 Click here to watch the latest episode of the Serious About Rugby League Show.<\/a><\/p>\n Wigan Warriors boss addresses red flags at club as injury worry revealed<\/p>\n Asked what the red flags were currently at Wigan Warriors that have contributed to such a torrid losing run, Peet explained that the loss of Liam Marshall early on which triggered a half-back reshuffle didn\u2019t help, though he still called for better execution.<\/p>\n Peet said: \u201cIt\u2019s hard to say. I mean last week there were aspects of our defence that we worked on in the week and then we tried to get our spine bedded in but has to change that again after losing Liam (Marshall) early in the game.<\/p>\n \u201cThere have been red flags in other games around effort and aptitude. I thought that was there tonight so now we\u2019ll probably look at our execution.<\/p>\n \u201cThe thing is we can\u2019t have lapses in effort and aptitude any week because that puts pressure on you but thought we were at it tonight but we needed to execute better and control the game better the following few years.\u201d<\/p>\n On the fact it is now four losses in a row, he admitted: \u201cIt\u2019s concerning. It\u2019s difficult but to be honest when you are winning you\u2019re still concerned with trying to improve your team. The process is the same. It\u2019s just a little more difficult when you\u2019ve got different faces in different positions.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are lads missing, we get one back tonight and then we lose a couple. I know that\u2019s the same for every team but it\u2019s probably about sticking together as the players, the staff, the supporters and we\u2019ll work our way through it as we\u2019ve done in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n On Marshall\u2019s aforementioned injury, Peet confirmed it to be a hamstring concern with the winger set for scans but the coach warned: \u201cFingers crossed but they don\u2019t tend to be good.\u201d<\/p>\n What a win for @WarringtonRLFC<\/a> \ud83d\ude0d#SuperLeague<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/aGwyBcvyks<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Betfred Super League (@SuperLeague) April 24, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t![](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768085712_213_srl-logo.png\"\/){kind=logo}
