Wakefield and Leeds have both announced their 21-man squads for Sunday afternoon’s Super League fixture at the Mobile Rocket Stadium (KO 2:00pm).
It will be the second time in three days the two sides have faced each other, after Trinity’s convincing 30-6 win at St Helens’ Totally Wicked Stadium on Thursday.
The clash was originally meant to be played at the start of September but was postponed due to positive Covid-19 tests in the Wakefield camp.
Thursday’s loss saw the Rhinos drift even further away from the top four, now sitting over 10% behind Catalans on points percentage, while Trinity remain in 10th.
