Wigan Warriors boss Matt Peet in three-man shortlist for Super League Coach of the Year award
The shortlist for this year’s Super League Coach of the Year award has been announced!
Wigan Warriors boss Matt Peet is included in the three-man shortlist for this year’s Super League Coach of the Year award.
Peet is in the running alongside Leeds Rhinos coach Brad Arthur and Toulouse Olympique boss Sylvain Houles.
The trio are named on the award’s shortlist after all 14 of the competition’s head coaches were asked to vote for their top pick, with the winner being announced at the Rugby League Awards Night in Manchester on Tuesday.
Peet has guided Wigan to the League Leaders’ Shield - his third in five seasons - and led his hometown club to Challenge Cup glory at Wembley back in May.
Meanwhile, Arthur has been nominated after his Leeds side sat top of the table for the majority of the regular campaign, before Wigan pipped the Rhinos to the League Leaders’ Shield at the end of the season.
Houles is shortlisted following an impressive season for Toulouse upon their return to Super League, guiding them to a best-ever finish of eighth in the 14-team competition.
Toulouse picked up 10 wins on their return to the top-flight and even finished higher than their French rivals Catalans Dragons.
