It depends how you play.
Teams play differently. Coaches have different philosophies.
It may not be what “YOU†want but it is something Peet wants.
Wigan rely on outside backs and centres to make metres.
Just because 1 team plays one way it doesn’t mean all teams do.
Gelling was consistently Wigan’s biggest meter maker during his time with us. Was he during his time for Wire?
At Wigan probably since the days of Wane our backs make metres, along with Faz who is a freak, and the rest of the pack are generally there to defend and set up field position.
Also Renouf was a big metre maker, without doubt a strike centre as opposed to a creative player. If you don’t understand that then I would question your understanding of rugby.
Lyon was more your classic “centre†though I will give you that.
I’d say though the Wigan philosophy has been more successful than the Warrington philosophy since Wane implemented it as the trophy cabinets would prove.
