Wigan Warriors and Leeds Rhinos have named their squads for tonight’s blockbuster Super League match with Brad Arthur’s side aiming to return to the top of the competition.
Whilst that is the game that will catch plenty of attention, the other match is intriguing as Wakefield Trinity look to stop their two-game losing streak and bounce back in their home clash with Catalans Dragons.
The game at Wigan comes just days after the Warriors progressed to the Challenge Cup Final and their 21-man squad caused a surprise with captain Liam Farrell missing out, whilst Leeds Rhinos recalled Harry Newman from his loan at Hull FC amid an injury to fellow centre Jack Bird.
Trinity remain without Tom Johnstone and Max Jowitt whilst Catalans welcomed back their talismanic captain Benjamin Garcia, who starts tonight.
