THE TEAM NEWS
LEEDS RHINOS
- Leeds Rhinos claimed their first win of the campaign as they stunned reigning champions St. Helens with a hard-fought success on the road last week.
- The Rhinos will look to build that effort with the hope being that their maiden win can now kick-start their season and with Harry Newman and James Bentley in line for their first appearances of the year.
21-man squad: Myler, Fusitu’a, Newman, Macdonald, Handley, Austin, Sezer, Tetevano, Bentley, Martin, Smith, O’Connor, Lisone, Olpherts, Holroyd, McDonnell, Walters, Roberts, Donaldson, Johnson, Ruan
Unavailable: Luke Hooley (Injured), Mikolaj Oledzki (Injured), Morgan Gannon (Injured)
Questionable: James Bentley, Harry Newman, Corey Johnson
WAKEFIELD TRINITY
- Wakefield Trinity remain winless in 2023 as they were narrowly beaten by Huddersfield Giants last week but perhaps more worryingly, they were kept scoreless for the second week in succession.
- Trinity went down to the 0-8 loss in what was a keenly-fought contest but the pressure is mounting to get off the mark for the season and to compound their woes, they have lost star winger Lewis Murphy for the season after he suffered an ACL injury last week.
21-man squad: Taufua, Hall, Lyne, Lineham, Gaskell, Lino, Battye, Hood, Whitbread, Ashurst, Pitts, Crowther, Kay, Atoni, Kershaw, Proctor, Smith, Langi, Butler, Eseh, Windrow
Unavailable: Josh Bowden (Injured), Kelepi Tanginoa (Injured), Max Jowitt (Injured), Lewis Murphy (Injured)
Questionable: Reece Lyne
THE PREDICTION
Leeds Rhinos got off the mark for the season with a thrilling win over reigning champions St. Helens last week and Rohan Smith’s side will look to build on that success as they host winless Wakefield Trinity. The visitors were kept scoreless for the second week in succession as they lost out in a tight affair against Huddersfield Giants. Injuries are mounting for Trinity with some key men on the sidelines and with Leeds on a real high after last week’s win, it is difficult to envisage them failing to make it back-to-back victories.
