Leeds and Wakefield have both announced their 21-man squads for Thursday evening’s Super League West Yorkshire derby at the Totally Wicked Stadium (KO 5:30pm).
The clash is the Rhinos’ third game in six days and Richard Agar’s side will be looking to make it two wins from three, after a loss to St Helens and a hard-fought victory over Castleford.
Trinity, meanwhile, are in their best run of form since March, having won their last two matches after a 10-game losing streak in all competitions.
