JAI Field has been told how much pressure will be added to his shoulders to repeat last year's heroics - absolutely none.

Hype and expectation are natural consequences of signing for Wigan – and he should embrace them.

The Australian ace became a terrace hero with a string of stunning tries and repeatedly leaving opponents trailing in his wake because of his searing pace.

That may turn into a burden for 2023 with Warriors fans expecting more and other sides knowing what is coming.

But while top players at different clubs and in other sports have pressure to perform, Australian Field will have nothing put in his shoulders by boss Matt Peet – it is there anyway.

The Wigan chief said: “I say to the players all the time, ‘If you don’t want expectation around you, whether that’s to win or to play well, you’re at the wrong club.

“It‘s the same when people ask me about my job. It’s the excitement of being in a big organisation, isn’t it?

“If you sign for Wigan, you’ve got to expect people to play well, or else you’re not going to be there for long.”
