THE TEAM NEWS
WAKEFIELD TRINITY
- Wakefield Trinity put up a valiant effort on their trip to reigning champions St. Helens last week but lacked the attacking quality to really pose the hosts problems as they managed to cross for just a solitary try in that contest.
- Trinity are now 0-3 to begin the season and new head coach Willie Poching will be desperate to record his first success of the season but he has been forced into changes in his three-quarter line with Tom Lineham, Corey Hall and Thomas Minns all ruled out.
21-man squad: 1 Max Jowitt, 2 Tom Johnstone, 6 Jacob Miller, 7 Mason Lino, 8 Eddie Battye, 10 Tinirau Arona, 11 Matty Ashurst, 12 Kelepi Tanginoa, 13 Jay Pitts, 14 Jordan Crowther, 15 Jai Whitbread, 16 James Batchelor, 19 Liam Kay, 20 Jack Croft, 21 Brad Walker, 22 Yusuf Aydin, 23 Sadiq Adebiyi, 24 Harry Bowes, 27 Lewis Murphy, 29 Isaac Shaw, 35 David Fifita
Unavailable: Bill Tupou, Lee Kershaw, Reece Lyne, Lee Gaskell, Liam Hood, Tom Lineham, Thomas Minns, Corey Hall
Questionable: Jack Croft, Mason Lino
LEEDS RHINOS
- Leeds Rhinos produced another underwhelming attacking display as they succumbed to a third successive loss of the season as they went down to Catalans Dragons last week and pressure is already mounting on head coach Richard Agar.
- The Rhinos have struggled with injuries in the early part of the campaign but they could be boosted by the return of David Fusitu’a and Harry Newman with both coming into the 21-man squad along with Rhyse Martin who is back from compassionate leave.
21-man squad: 1 Jack Walker, 2 David Fusitu’a, 3 Harry Newman, 4 Liam Sutcliffe, 5 Ash Handley, 6 Blake Austin, 7 Aidan Sezer, 8 Mikolaj Oledzki, 9 Kruise Leeming, 10 Matt Prior, 12 Rhyse Martin, 13 Zane Tetevano, 14 Brad Dwyer, 17 Cameron Smith, 19 Bodene Thompson, 20 Tom Briscoe, 21 Morgan Gannon, 23 Jack Broadbent, 24 Jarrod O’Connor, 26 Corey Johnson, 29 Liam Tindall
Unavailable: Tom Holroyd, Richie Myler, James Bentley, Sam Walters, Muizz Mustapha, Alex Mellor, James Donaldson
Questionable: Harry Newman, David Fusitu’a
THE PREDICTION
Two winless teams do battle in this contest as Wakefield Trinity host West Yorkshire rivals Leeds Rhinos in what shapes as an important game for both teams. Each side will fancy their chances of getting off the mark in this fixture but the pair will need to be better with the ball having struggled so far this campaign. After three games, neither side has yet to score 40 points and with their respective attacks failing to fire as yet, a low-scoring encounter looks to be on the cards with under 38.5 points looking likely.
