Wakefield v Leigh: 21-man squads, injury update and TV details

Wakefield and Leigh have both announced their 21-man squads for Sunday afternoon’s round 13 clash at the Mobile Rocket Stadium (KO 3:00pm).

The round is set to be played between 4-6 July but with neither side competing in the Challenge Cup semi-finals this weekend, the game has been brought forward.

Trinity will be keen to continue their impressive run of form having won their last two games, including a 38-12 demolition of Huddersfield last week.

The win-less Centurions, meanwhile, come into the game without a head coach after John Duffy left the club earlier this week along with head of rugby Garreth Carvell.

Assistant Kurt Haggerty will step into the hot seat for the first time on Sunday, as he takes charge for the foreseeable future.

The game will be available to watch via the Our League app.
