Wigan Warriors vs Wakefield Trinity: Injury news and how to watch

Both Wigan Warriors and Wakefield Trinity didn’t enjoy the start to the season that they would have wanted.

Wigan were surprisingly beaten by a very impressive Hull KR side whilst Wakefield were unable to defeat an injury hit Catalans Dragons side in a game that seemed like a great opportunity for Wakefield to defeat one of last year’s top four.

This makes this a massive game for both but you’d have to say especially for Wigan.

The Warriors will want to show their title rivals that they mean business and that their attack is as strong as ever as the host Wakefield at the DW Stadium.

Wigan enjoyed plenty of success against Wakefield in 2022 scoring tries for fun against them until they were stunned at Belle Vue towards the end of last season.

However, at the DW, they were unstoppable.

Will it be the same again? The Warriors were unbeaten in the regular season at home last season.
