Wigan aimed at “Special Place in History” after a dominant 2024 – Liam Farrell – Irvine Times

Wigan aimed at “Special Place in History” after a dominant 2024 – Liam Farrell – Irvine Times

The 34-year-old home turned out to be an integral part of Wigan’s recent revival, which saw them pull the rights to boast from St. Helens’ rivals and land all four major honors under the main coach Mat Pete in 2024.

And before opening his home opening against neighbors Lee at the brick community stadium, Farrell’s motivation to extend his trophy career is guided by the belief that he can be part of the best team so far.

“It is difficult to oppose the fact that we have won four trophies last season and for that reason I would probably say that this is the best country I have participated in,” Farrell told the PA agency.

“To do everything again to give this team a special place in history. We are in a special place and while we have the likes of Bewan (French) and Jai (field), we have so many other players who probably do not receive the recognition they deserve. “

While the rivals of the saints and HU CR filled their respective squads with big names in the near season, Pete’s confidence in his Wigan country was worn by the relative inaction of his country, with only George Hearst enters Oldham.

But Farrell believes that the challenge of keeping their rivals will simply stimulate the double defense champions to reach new levels of domination.

“This is the first year in which I was part of a team where we didn’t really bring too many players because we have the bigger part of the team that are fit and healthy and we want to see where we can get it,” Add Farrell.

“I think, in particular, HU CR has hired very well and have brought some Marke’s signatures, which is good for them, but it will encourage us to be a better team.

“As they have made improvements with the saints and Leeds, we know we will have to be great. These teams will push us and we will have to be even better than we were last year. “

Farrell, who made his Wigan debut against Wakefield in 2010, shows no signs of relieving the end of his career and insists that he continues to develop as a player in an ever -developing team that successfully integrates the likes of the Jack Farimond Academy Zac Eckersley last year.

“I think if you ever get there that you think you can’t learn more, you start going down, so I’m still looking to learn and improve and improve,” Farrell added.

“Last season, we have learned to focus on the simple things, and if we continue to do this to a very high standard, it will put us in a good place for the start of the season.

“We returned after a short break and see how the boys work hard and see the motivation and determination of the other boys, this automatically puts you in the situation of wanting more success.”
