Peet said: “We had lads who deserved a go from the way they have trained in pre-season, but the ones who missed out were probably unfortunate in some ways, as it could’ve been one of a few.

Liam Marshall was one of the Warriors’ key performers as he crossed for four tries, to take his overall tally up to 100 for the club.

Meanwhile, Bevan French, Liam Farrell, Jai Field, Harry Smith and Cade were also on the scoresheet, in front of a crowd of 12,306.

Peet says he wants to see more performances like that from his side both home and away.

“We love playing here, it brings the best out of us,” he added.

"We have to transfer some of that form onto other people’s pitches as well.”
