Wigan Warriors head coach Matt Peet said his side's exit from the Super League play-offs "hurts" after a semi-final defeat to Wakefield ended the club's hopes of a domestic treble, according to the BBC.
Peet said Wakefield were "far too good" for his Wigan side in Saturday's semi-final, acknowledging that his opponents deserved their victory on the day. The result brought an end to Wigan's pursuit of multiple trophies this season.
Coach praises squad despite setback
Despite the disappointment of the defeat, Peet expressed pride in his Wigan squad's performances across the campaign, according to the BBC's report. The play-off system in Super League determines the competition's eventual champion through a series of knockout matches following the regular season.
The BBC's report did not provide the final score of the semi-final or details of Wakefield's performance beyond Peet's assessment. Wigan's play-off exit ends their involvement in this season's competition for the Super League title, with the club's other trophy pursuits for the campaign already decided.
Peet has coached Wigan through a period of sustained success in recent seasons, and Saturday's result marks one of the club's notable defeats during that spell.
