Wakefield Trinity dealt key injury concerns ahead of Wigan Warriors clash as boss reveals frustration over Jazz Tevaga ban

Wakefield Trinity could have plenty of changes to their side this week, with boss Daryl Powell confirming a number of injury concerns.

Following their win over Hull KR last week, the third-placed side lost former Robin Corey Hall and Mason Lino, both of whom have dropped out of this week’s 21-man squad.

Hall departed the action early into the contest, and was pictured in a boot after returning from the dressing rooms.

Powell has confirmed that the centre will miss around six weeks of action after picking up a syndesmosis issue.

There is a lot more uncertainty over half-back Lino, who is said to have picked up a calf issue.

There is currently no time frame for his return, but in what is a welcome boost, Jack Sinfield has been named to come back into the side, with the former Leeds man back fit after a fractured sternum.

As well as those two, Powell confirmed to the press that the club have “a couple of late fitness tests” to contend with, though the boss refused to name the players in particular.

However, Josh Rourke and Oliver Pratt both picked up knocks during the win over KR, and are thought to be in doubt for tomorrow’s fixture.

“Both of them got through the game, but for those two players, they’ve had a little bit of difficulty this week,” Powell revealed.

Max Jowitt could make his return to the side in place of Rourke, whilst Will Tate has been named in the initial side and could swap for Pratt if needed.

Wakefield Trinity boss explains frustration over Jazz Tevaga suspension

Another man who won’t feature this week is Jazz Tevaga, who copped a one-match suspension after receiving a Grade B charge from the disciplinary.

Powell has explained how the club were on the verge of appealing the charge, but instead chose against that notion.

He said: “We had a question whether we were going to challenge it.

“I thought the grading was perhaps different to what has happened in the past. Grade B when most of the others are Grade A.

“But, if you challenge now, you have a chance of another game [suspension] and you’ve to put a bit of cash down as well, so we’d want to get that right.”
