After winning an unprecedented quadruple in the Super League era, are Wigan Warriors the greatest ever side?
Wigan show off the collection of trophies they have won during 2024 following their Grand Final victory over Hull KRHad Wigan won just one major trophy this season, that would be considered the benchmark for a club of their stature - figureheads of northern hemisphere rugby league.
Asked in his post-match news conference following Wigan's 9-2 Grand Final victory over Hull KR whether his side match up to the squad of 1994, Peet batted the question away.Modest he may well be, but not many can match the Wigan side we have seen over the past eight months.To put this season's achievements in context, Peet is not even 100 games into his tenure as Wigan boss. He's been at the helm for just 99, in fact.
All three have been won this season by the Warriors, on top of the trophy that kicked off their glorious 2024 - the World Club Challenge victory over National Rugby League premiers Penrith Panthers, themselves in the conversation for being among the game's greatest sides afterThey did not concede a single try in their final four games and conceded just two points in that time - Mikey Lewis' penalty in the Grand Final.
A mild-mannered figure who had risen through the ranks at Wigan, the club recruited him from within for his first head coach role, replacing the outgoing Adrian Lam, who had failed to put a dent in the St Helens dynasty that had begun under Justin Holbrook with their 2019 Grand Final triumph against Salford.
That Peet and a revitalised Wigan side were able to end their rivals' dynasty and start their own period of domination says a lot about the culture both on and off the field."He knows how to get the best out of everyone. It's a pleasure to work with someone like him," French said.
