Leeds Rhinos travel to face Wakefield Trinity in the third meeting between the pair this season and the team news has now been confirmed.
Trinity’s return to Super League saw them handed a difficult start at Headingley, however, Daryl Powell’s side upset the odds and won 14-12 with Max Jowitt putting in a sensational two-try display.
The full-back has continued his good form throughout the season and is a large reason why Wakefield sit seventh and are in with a very good shot at making the Super League play-offs.
Visitors Leeds Rhinos look secure in the top six and are instead setting their sights on a top four, or potentially even top two, finish.
Two recent defeats to rivals St Helens have dented those hopes but Brad Arthur’s side responded with a 42-6 win over Salford last Friday, whilst Wakefield saw off Huddersfield with ease that same night as Jowitt starred once again.
