RUGBY LEAGUE Winning is not enough for Wigan head coach Matt Peet as he prepares for his side's quest to become only the third to secure three consecutive Super League Grand Finals when they face Hull KR at Old Trafford on Saturday night.

On-field success has always been part of a bigger picture for the 41-year-old, who rose through the club's junior coaching ranks to assume first-team duties in 2021, and now stands on the cusp of enshrining his name in their illustrious folklore.

In an era in which rugby league is being forced to constantly evolve to avoid being squeezed out in today's combative social media sphere, Peet has always been acutely aware of the sport's need to achieve recognition that goes beyond the scoreboard.

Wigan's narrow loss to Leeds in 2015, something Peet attributes to an extent to the persistently drab October weather.
