THE TEAM NEWS
WAKEFIELD TRINITY
- Wakefield Trinity blew an 18-point lead in last week’s game with Huddersfield Giants and that was the final straw for the club as they parted ways with head coach Chris Chester which was their fifth loss in a row.
- Trinity have won just four Super League games all season with Chester’s downfall ultimately coming on the back of a poor campaign as opposed to just their recent results with Wakefield turning to assistant Willie Poching to lead the club as interim boss.
21-man squad: Arona, Arundel, Ashurst, Aydin, Batchelor, Battye, Fifita, Green, Hampshire, Johnstone, Jowitt, Kay, Kershaw, Lino, Lyne, Miller, Pitts, Senior, Tanginoa, B. Walker, Westerman, K. Wood
Unavailable: Josh Wood, Bill Tupou, Jordan Crowther, Jack Croft, Alex Walker, Reece Lyne

WARRINGTON WOLVES
- Warrington Wolves were left frustrated in their quest to build on their late come-from-behind victory against Leeds Rhinos as last week’s clash with Hull FC became the latest game to fall victim of COVID-19.
- The extra week off may serve the Wolves well in their efforts to make it three straight wins with the return of Gareth Widdop to the squad but Daryl Clark and Jack Hughes are banned.
19-man squad: Akauola, Ashton, Austin, Burgess, Charnley, Cooper, Currie, Davis, Hill, King, Lineham, Mamo, Ratchford, Thewlis, Walker, Whitehead, Widdop, Williams, Wrench
Unavailable: Jason Clark, Joe Philbin, Daryl Clark, Jack Hughes, Rob Mulhern

THE PREDICTION
Wakefield Trinity had turned stale under Chris Chester with the club struggling for a prolonged period and change was inevitable owing to their recent form. The club will hope a change in approach can serve them well but they have it all to do here after a tepid display against Huddersfield Giants last week. That made it five defeats in succession and with Warrington Wolves with just one loss in their last nine Super League contests, the visitors should win again and do so by covering the -9.5 handicap.
