WAKEFIELD TRINITY go into their fixture against the Huddersfield Giants on Friday night bottom of the Super League table.
After being beaten at Belle Vue, 38-24, by the Catalans Dragons, Mark Applegarth’s men were demolished 60-0 by the Wigan Warriors last weekend.
Huddersfield, meanwhile, played their first game of the 2023 Super League season, going down 26-16 at home to the Warrington Wolves.
The game is on after Wakefield’s pitch was re-inspected this afternoon by an independent regulator.
Team news and injuries
Wakefield will be without Kelepi Tanginoa after the forward suffered a hamstring injury in the defeat at Wigan. Liam Hood should be ok to return. Max Jowitt is also set for an extended spell on the sidelines whilst Tom Lineham and Reece Lyne drop out.
Jake Connor is nearing a return in his new colours of Huddersfield, but this clash comes too soon for the maverick. The only change for Ian Watson’s side is Nathan Mason, who surprisingly replaces new signing Kevin Naiqama.
