THE TEAM NEWS

SALFORD RED DEVILS

  • Salford Red Devils were punished for their ill-discipline as they received a red card for the second game in succession but unlike in their game with Huddersfield Giants, they were unable to get the better of Leeds Rhinos at the weekend.
  • It was a disappointing outcome for the Red Devils who were also handed two yellow cards during the contest and they must deal with the consequences from that with Lee Mossop, Jack Wells and Joe Burgess all banned following that contest.

21-man squad: Ackers, Addy, Aspey, Atkin, Burke, Costello, Escare, Inu, Johnson, Lannon, Livett, Lolohea, Luckley, Ormondroyd, Patton, Pauli, Roberts, Robson, Sio, Taylor, Williams

Unavailable: Kevin Brown, Kallum Watkins, Dan Sarginson, James Greenwood, Sebastine Ikahihifo, Jack Wells, Joe Burgess, Darcy Lussick, Lee Mossop

Questionable:

WAKEFIELD TRINITY

  • After disappointing performances against Warrington Wolves and Castleford Tigers, Wakefield Trinity were able to respond as they overcame Wigan Warriors last week to make it four wins from their last six matches.
  • Trinity defended well to keep Wigan at bay and those efforts ensured their prevailed in a low-scoring contest and Chris Chester’s side will now be going in search of another win to put them right in the mix for the top six.

20-man squad: Arona, Arundel, Ashurst, Aydin, Batchelor, Battye, Fifita, Hampshire, Jowitt, Kay, Kershaw, Lino, Lyne, Miller, Pitts, Senior, Tanginoa, B. Walker, Westerman, K. Wood

Unavailable: Alex Walker, Josh Wood, Chris Green, Bill Tupou, Tom Johnstone, Jordan Crowther

Questionable: Jacob Miller

THE PREDICTION

Salford Red Devils were unable to build on just their second win of the season as they fell to a disappointing loss to Leeds Rhinos at the weekend. They now come up against a Wakefield Trinity side that will fancy their chances of recording another win in what would be their fifth success in seven matches if they can come out on top. The hosts are still missing a host of key men and that list grew following an ill-disciplined showing last time out. Wakefield on the other hand will hope to have Jacob Miller back in the fold and his return should only aid the away side’s chances of making it back-to-back victories here.
