Wigan focused on taking on 'battle-hardened' Wakefield in semis

Wigan Warriors are well versed in making it to the Super League Grand Final and that means being focused on one step at a time; watch Wigan Warriors vs Wakefield Trinity in the Super League semi-finals live on Sky Sports on Saturday September 26, with kick-off at 5.30pm

Wigan Warriors have been there, done that, and got the T-shirt when it comes to making it to the Betfred Super League Grand Final and so their routine is set as they hunt down the treble in 2026.

Wigan have already added two trophies to their cabinet this season having won the Challenge Cup and League Leaders' Shield, with the Grand Final just one step away.

To get there, they need to beat Wakefield in the semi-finals on Saturday September 26, live on Sky Sports after Daryl Powell's side defeated Leigh in the eliminators.

Matt Peet lost a first final as head coach of Wigan at Old Trafford in 2025 against Hull KR, but has already made sure that such heartbreak was fuel to achieve more.

But now, with success firmly in their sights once again, Wigan will keep looking forward while being rooted in the present and ensuring they are firmly focused on the semi-finals.

"We have been through this experience a few times now, learned some lessons, and it is exciting," Peet told Sky Sports .

"It is not a case of that everything we did last year was wrong, some things we got right, we just weren't good enough on the evening.

"We will do what is right for this year's team for this moment on their journey and our journey.

If Wigan were to win the Grand Final, it would mark Peet's 10th trophy since taking over as head coach of his hometown club in 2022, success coming under him at a staggering speed.

However, those statistics are of no importance to him and the most important trophy is always the one next in your sights.

"We just want to play well in the semi-finals. Not thinking too much about Old Trafford or the trophy or talking about that.

"We know we are going to be up against a very determined and capable team in the semi-finals who have just had a fantastic win.

"They will be battle-hardened and confident so we just have to concern ourselves with that."
