Wigan Warriors boss Matt Peet has clarified the situation regarding Jack Farrimond, who left the action early in this evening\u2019s win over Wakefield Trinity.<\/p>\n

Farrimond started in the halves in the 48-10 win<\/a>, and played 50 minutes before switching with the returning Bevan French.<\/p>\n

French played the final 30 minutes, but Farrimond would get a second stint at hooker, replacing Brad O\u2019Neill for the final 10 minutes.<\/p>\n

However, he would be substituted again with minutes to go, and boss Peet has now explained that it was actually his gumshield that flagged up, forcing him off for a HIA.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cWe were all perplexed. He\u2019d only been on two seconds. I don\u2019t think he made a tackle.<\/p>\n

Wigan Warriors boss assesses 48-10 thumping of Wakefield Trinity<\/p>\n

Commenting on the win overall, Peet said: \u201c[I\u2019m] Proud of the performance. The result was an important one for us. We recognise Wakefield were missing a few, particularly across the back line.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve started to get the start of the game right. They\u2019ve got a formidable pack, and there\u2019s another group of formidable players on the bench, and it was important that we dealt with that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026We don\u2019t get too carried away, but we\u2019re certainly proud of the performance, and we got to play some good stuff. Some of that\u2019s probably owing to Wakefield having a few personnel missing and players playing out of position.\u201d<\/p>\n

The start was the most pleasing thing for Peet, and with Wakefield not leaving the changing rooms until 10 minutes into the game, metaphorically, the Challenge Cup champions were able to capitalise early on.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe starts of these games, if you don\u2019t get them right, teams like Wakefield, they\u2019ve still got some quality players there and a very powerful forward pack.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we hadn\u2019t dealt with that well, then we create an opening. It\u2019ll be a very different night, so it\u2019s important that we got the foundation of our game in place.\u201d<\/p>\n
