Get ready to catch all the action of Round 23 of the Betfred Super League season starting Friday, live on Sky Sports+.

Apart from Jack Farrimond's family, there are few who would have been prouder of the 18-year-old's performance at Magic Weekend than his coach Matt Peet.

Peet couldn't help but feel a surge of pride as Farrimond, playing alongside Adam Keighran in an unusual half-back combo, delivered a stellar performance in Wigan's 20-0 victory over St Helens, solidifying their spot in the top two of the Super League standings.

Farrimond's standout moment came with a try off his own kick at Elland Road, leaving Peet feeling reminiscent of past young talents that have risen through the ranks at Wigan.

Peet commented, "When a youngster is fighting for their spot in the team and you see all the supporters who have been backing them through the years, it's those heart-pounding moments as a coach that really get you going.

And then they start bugging you for a bigger paycheck!"
