Wigan v Wakefield: 21-man squads and injury update

Wigan and Wakefield have both announced their 21-man squads for Friday night’s round 15 clash at the DW Stadium (KO 7:45pm).

The Warriors have seemingly come through their rough patch of form that saw them lose five in a row, with back-to-back wins both home and away against Huddersfield.

Trinity have been less fortunate in their last two games, with defeats to Salford and St Helens, however their last win was a 14-6 triumph over Wigan at the end of June.
