Meanwhile, club captain Thomas Leuluai is back in contention for Friday’s game at the DW Stadium.

"It’s perfect timing,” added Peet.

"He will take us to another level on and off the field, so it’s great to have him at this time of year.

"His experience will be huge going into these final games.

"It’s great to have options. Tommy can play a bit of nine, he can play half, as can Cade Cust.

"It might give us an opportunity to rotate our fullbacks and freshen one of them up. It brings a variety of options, as will Sam Powell, who will come into contention soon as well.

"We want the most people going for a shirt come semi-final time. I don’t mind making the calls when it matters.

"Hopefully I will have a really difficult decision to make for the semi-final.”
