Warrington v Wakefield: Squads Announced

Warrington and Wakefield have both announced their 21-man squads for Sunday evening’s fixture at the Halliwell Jones Stadium (KO 6:30pm).

The Wolves have managed two wins from two since the restart and will be looking to continue that form after having a week off due to receiving a bye in last week’s Challenge Cup sixth round.

Trinity, meanwhile, have suffered two losses at the hands of Catalans in as many weeks, including a 36-24 defeat that saw them knocked out of the Cup.

Tongan prop Leilani Latu could be in line to make his Super League debut after being included for the first time. He replaces Sitaleki Akauola, who misses out following the birth of his child. Ben Murdoch-Masila and Anthony Gelling are both suspended, meaning call-ups for Keanan Brand and Josh Thewlis.

21-man squad: 1 Stefan Ratchford, 2 Tom Lineham, 4 Toby King, 5 Josh Charnley, 6 Blake Austin, 7 Gareth Widdop, 8 Chris Hill, 9 Daryl Clark, 10 Mike Cooper, 11 Ben Currie, 12 Jack Hughes, 14 Jason Clark, 15 Joe Philbin, 16 Leilani Latu, 17 Jake Mamo, 19 Matt Davis, 20 Danny Walker, 24 Keanan Brand, 25 Samy Kibula, 26 Matty Ashton, 29 Josh Thewlis.

Wakefield Trinity

Trinity have been hit hard this week, with Jay Pitts, Alex Walker and Liam Kay unavailable as they self-isolate following track and trace analysis from their game with Catalans. David Fifita has also now been stood down indefinitely after refusing to wear track and trace GPS equipment. In their place, Tony Gigot returns after being cup-tied last week, while Josh Wood, Chris Green and young forward Yusuf Aydin return to the 21.

21-man squad: 3 Bill Tupou, 6 Jacob Miller, 9 Kyle Wood, 10 Tinirau Arona, 11 Matty Ashurst, 12 Danny Kirmond, 13 Joe Westerman, 15 Craig Kopczak, 16 James Batchelor, 17 Chris Green, 19 Jordy Crowther, 21 Max Jowitt, 23 Josh Wood, 24 Jack Croft, 29 Ryan Hampshire, 30 Yusuf Aydin, 31 Connor Bailey, 36 Kelepi Tanginoa, 37 Romain Navarrete, 39 Tony Gigot, 40 Innes Senior.
