Wakefield v Hull KR: 21-man squads and injury update

Wakefield and Hull KR have both announced their 21-man squads for Sunday afternoon’s round seven clash at the Mobile Rocket Stadium (KO 3:00pm).

Trinity are still win-less in 2021 but came as close as they have all season on Monday, pushing Leeds all the way before losing out to a golden point penalty goal.

Rovers, meanwhile, picked up their third victory of the season against Castleford, with Jordan Abdull’s late try spoiling the returning Tigers’ fans’ party to claim a 26-22 victory.

Wakefield Trinity

Captain Jacob Miller is back for Trinity after missing the last few weeks with a knee injury. He is one of three changes made by Chris Chester with Bill Tupou included alongside Yusuf Aydin, who returns following a loan spell at York.
