"They’re never normally one week things.”

The Warriors made one change to their starting 13 for the game against Trinity, with Iain Thornley replacing Jake Wardle.

Peet says the alteration was made in order to provide the centre with some much-needed rest.

“He has been carrying a few bumps and bruises,” he explained.

“We thought this would be a time to freshen him up.

"He’s probably been playing through pain recently, so this was the week we chose to take.”

The Warriors welcome Warrington Wolves to the DW Stadium next week.

Kaide Ellis is set to return after serving his three-match suspension.
