WILLIE Peters knows just how much pressure is on Wigan\u2019s players to deliver \u2013 he felt it himself.<\/p>\n

But he had some decent team-mates to help take the weight from his shoulders \u2013 Andy Farrell, Jason Robinson, Kris Radlinski and Denis Betts.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Hull KR coach was bought by the Warriors at the turn of the century after starring for fledgling outfit Gateshead.<\/p>\n

So he knows all too well just what those sat in the DW Stadium stands will demand, even though he could call on some back-up.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the main memories is we won more at Wigan,\u201d said Peters.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were still trying to find our identity as a club at Gateshead, Wigan knew who they were and what their identity was.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd when you put a Wigan shirt on there\u2019s an expectation, no doubt about it. That\u2019s what makes them the club they are.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I played with some handy players \u2013 Kris, Andy, Jason, Denis, Gary Connolly, Steve Renouf and Terry O\u2019Connor to name a few.<\/p>\n

\u201cAndy wanted me to boss the forwards so I could get him in space and let him do his thing. I had the easy job, throwing him a 20-yard pass.<\/p>\n

One of those sat in the stands while Peters worked his magic as Wigan made the 2000 Grand Final is now a familiar face.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Warriors boss Matt Peet was a teenage fan and he believes the way he is still regarded there proves just how good he was.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI watched him play at Wigan and at Gateshead. He was a good player, a very intelligent half back and there was a reason why Wigan went and got him.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd he\u2019s been brilliant, not just with the way his team\u2019s played \u2013 the way he\u2019s acquitted himself as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s still held in very high regard here, people only speak fondly of him, as a player and a person.\u201d<\/p>\n
