Leeds Rhinos team news: Same side expected
Leeds Rhinos have made a couple of changes to their squad, removing Riley Lumb and Tom Nicholson-Watton, bringing in Fergus McCormack and Harley Thomas to replace them. This shouldn’t impact the starting line-up though, which is likely to be unchanged.
Squad: Lachie Miller, Maika Sivo, Ash Handley, Ryan Hall, Brodie Croft, Jake Connor, Mikolaj Oledzki, Jarrod O’Connor, Tom Holroyd, Kallum Watkins, James McDonnell, Keenan Palasia, Chris Hankinson, Cooper Jenkins, Ethan O’Neill, Cameron Smith, Presley Cassell, Danny Levi, Fergus McCormack, Jack Bird, Harley Thomas
Wakefield Trinity team news: Johnstone and Nikotemo missing
Wakefield Trinity are without both Tom Johnstone and Seth Nikotemo with neither having been named in their squad, although Mason Lino has been included. This match also comes too soon for Max Jowitt.
Squad: Oliver Pratt, Cameron Scott, Corey Hall, Jake Trueman, Mason Lino, Mike McMeeken, Tyson Smoothy, Ky Rodwell, Matty Storton, Jay Pitts, Caleb Hamlin-Uele, Caius Faatili, Harvey Smith, Jack Sinfield, Jayden Myers, Josh Rourke, Tray Lolesio, Will Tate, Charlie Abraham, Robbie Brook, Zack Clegg
Leeds Rhinos vs Wakefield Trinity prediction
Wakefield Trinity may have gone down 18-12 away to St. Helens in their last game but that doesn’t take away just how well they’ve played so far this season. That’s reflected by a 6-3 record which sees them just two points behind Leeds Rhinos at the top of the table. But the Rhinos have won their most recent four matches and a 46-4 demolition of Catalans Dragons last time out made it over 100 points scored across their last two.
The offense of Leeds has been simply unstoppable and whilst Maika Sivo has been key to their success, Brodie Croft is another who has stepped up in a big way. A four-try game away at Huddersfield Giants was backed up by another try against the Dragons and right now Croft is scorching hot with 11 tries across the Super League season. Back him to add to that tally here, regardless of who comes out on top between Leeds and Wakefield.
Leeds Rhinos vs Wakefield Trinity tip: Brodie Croft to score a try anytime
