THE TEAM NEWS
WAKEFIELD TRINITY
- Wakefield Trinity remained winless in 2021 after suffering a heart-breaking loss against Leeds Rhinos last week but with a bit more composure, Trinity will believe that they should have won that game.
- After pulling level late on, Wakefield could have gone on to win the game but made some poor decisions and had to settle for Golden Point where they were ultimately beaten by a Rhyse Martin penalty to make it seven straight losses in all competitions this season.
21-man squad: Arona, Arundel, Ashall-Bott, Ashurst, Aydin, Batchelor, Battye, Eaves, Fifita, Green, Jowitt, Kay, Kershaw, Lino, Lyne, Miller, Pitts, Tanginoa, Tupou, B. Walker, Westerman
Unavailable: Alex Walker, Tom Johnstone, Josh Wood, Ryan Hampshire, Jordan Crowther, Kyle Wood
Questionable: Bill Tupou, Jacob Miller
HULL KR
- Hull KR produced a brilliant response to their heavy loss against Warrington Wolves by coming from behind to shock Castleford Tigers on Monday and they will be confident of backing that up here.
- Rovers trailed by eight points at the break but restricted Castleford to just two points in the second half and when Jordan Abdull crossed in the closing stages of the game, it secured a superb victory for Tony Smith’s side.
20-man squad: Abdull, Crooks, Dagger, Hadley, Hall, Johnson, Keinhorst, Kenny-Dowall, Lawler, Linnett, Litten, Maher, Milnes, Minikin, Mustapha, Parcell, Quinlan, Sims, Storton, Takairangi
Unavailable: Elliot Minchella, Albert Vete, Ethan Ryan, George King
Questionable: Brad Takairangi, Matt Parcell
THE PREDICTION
Wakefield Trinity will feel they are getting closer to earning a maiden win of the season and with the potential return of skipper Jacob Miller this week, they will hope his influence can be what they need. They face a tough task against an improving Hull KR side who come into this with three wins in their last four. They earned their best win of the year against Castleford Tigers earlier in the week and with confidence high, Rovers are expected to back that success up with another victory.
