Wigan Warriors: Abbas Miski says he's always focused on putting his best foot forward
Abbas Miski says it is important for players in the Wigan Warriors squad to easily slot into the team when called upon.
The winger returned to the starting line-up for the 52-6 victory over Toulouse Olympique on Friday night.
Miski states he wanted to bring the same things to the team that Liam Marshall does on a regular basis.

“Obviously Marshy (Liam Marshall) got a week off, and I came in to basically mimic everything he does.
“He shows a lot of energy and is good defensively, so if I can slip in when I need to as if there’s no difference then I’m happy with that.

“Sometimes teams don’t have that, but it’s something that the coaches are trying to push and we are trying to deliver.
“I try to focus on the moment, day in and day out. It just allows me to focus on some things I need to do in training, while back home you drop down and play at the next level. It seems to be paying off.
“It’s just about putting my best foot forward every week regardless of the competition.”

“I’ll have that little bit of extra time because they have to travel over here, so I’ll show them around when they arrive.”
