Wigan Warriors: Matty Peet gives his verdict on Tyler Dupree's try-scoring debut

The prop, who joined the club from Salford Red Devils earlier this week, enjoyed an impressive first outing at the DW Stadium, and was among the scorers in the 44-18 victory over Leigh Leopards.

Peet hopes the 23-year-old can achieve everything he’s capable of during his time with the Warriors across the next few years.

“It was an ideal debut for him,” he said.

“He came on at an important time of the game, when it was very much in the balance.

“Him and Patrick (Mago) got us rolling forward, and worked hard defensively as well.

“It’s a positive when you’ve got front rowers that can dent the line, and he’s certainly going to do that.

“He had a few chats with us the other day about our calls, but had a simple focus- run hard and tackle hard.

“I hope he and his family enjoyed the day, it was great to welcome them.

“It was nice that he had a positive debut, but it’s more important that in the next few years he achieves everything he’s capable of.

“We’ve signed him because he’s got a point of difference.

“We’ve got some fit, very athletic middles, who do their job really well for the team, but Tyler will bring a bit more punch when he carries the ball.

“There are things he will have to learn and develop to get used to us, but the most important thing is he keeps being himself.

“Those things he does contribute to us being a tougher team to handle.”

Peet has also been impressed by the recent displays of the out-of-contract Patrick Mago.

“He’s in a good spell of form,” he added.

“If you go back to our last home game against Warrington, he was decent, and he was good last week.

“He had some standout contributions today.

“It’s brilliant to see Paddy applying himself in the way he should.”

Wigan’s next outing comes against Hull KR at the DW Stadium on Friday evening, where they will look to build on their victory over Leigh.
