The centre went over for a try and provided an assist in Friday’s 14-12 victory over Huddersfield Giants at the John Smith’s Stadium.

Peet states he was pleased with Wardle’s display against the side he joined Wigan from during the off-season, and is confident there is more to come from the 24-year-old.

"He’s a quality player and has settled in really well,” he said.

"I think he feels valued here and there is much more in him.

"He seems to be enjoying himself, with a smile on his face and spring in his step.

"He’ll be a good player for a good few years here."

Peet says, like every team in Super League, the Warriors backline are trying to demonstrate what they can do each week.

"We don’t mind the conditions at the moment,” he added.

"You might see a bit more ball movement potentially from every team when the opportunity presents itself, but we are ready to play whenever.

"I think you could see against Huddersfield we looked comfortable when playing in a system, but the lads have the freedom to express themselves.”

The Warriors next game comes on Friday night, as they welcome Salford Red Devils to the DW Stadium (K.O. 8pm).
