Wakefield Trinity have made a call on the fitness of prop pair Caleb Hamlin-Uele and Ky Rodwell ahead of tonight\u2019s Super League play-off clash against Leigh Leopards.<\/p>\n

Both men have been ruled in with Rodwell starting and Hamlin-Uele set to play his destructive role off the bench alongside fellow prop Caius Faatili.<\/p>\n

Dream Team star Hamlin-Uele had confirmed earlier in the week that he had received \u2018good news\u2019 when seeing a specialist regarding his knee injury<\/a>, and that\u2019s now proven true.<\/p>\n

As for Leigh, they\u2019ve welcomed back instrumental forward Isaac Liu after he missed last week\u2019s home loss to Wakefield because his wife went into labour.<\/p>\n

Last week\u2019s game saw Wakefield win 19-8<\/a> to lock in tonight\u2019s home play-off tie, however, the Leopards were victorious at this stage of the season last year before falling short against Wigan Warriors in the semi-finals.<\/p>\n
