Changes made as Wakefield Trinity and St Helens name 21-man squads for huge Super League four-pointer
Both coaches have made changes to their 21-man squad for Wakefield Trinity’s huge game at St Helens on Saturday.
Max Jowitt and Mason Lino - who didn’t feature in the big win against Bradford Bulls last week which left Trinity second in Betfred Super League - drop out from Daryl Powell’s Trinity squad and are replaced by Ellis Lingard and Will Tate.
Hosts Saints are boosted by the return of back-rower Shane Wright and centre Nene Macdonald to their 21. Wright has completed the return to play process after failing a head injury assessment during Saints’ Good Friday win against Wigan Warriors.
Macdonald has missed his side’s last six fixtures due to a knee injury which required surgery. Deon Cross drops out of coach Paul Rowley’s initial group after suffering concussion during last week’s victory at Hull FC. Youngster Cole Marsh, who was 18th man for that game, also makes way.
Trinity’s 21 is: Oliver Pratt, Cameron Scott, Corey Hall, Tom Johnstone, Jake Trueman, Mike McMeeken, Tyson Smoothy, Ky Rodwell, Seth Nikotemo, Matty Storton, Jay Pitts, Caleb Hamlin-Uele, Caius Faatili, Harvey Smith, Jack Sinfield, Jayden Myers, Josh Rourke, Tray Lolesio, Ellis Lingard, Will Tate, Charlie Abraham.
Saints’ 21 is: Kyle Feldt, Harry Robertson, Tristan Sailor, Jonny Lomax, Alex Walmsley, Daryl Clark, Matty Lees, Shane Wright, David Klemmer, George Delaney, Matt Whitley, George Whitby, Noah Stephens, Joe Shorrocks, Owen Dagnall, Nene Macdonald, Jake Davies, Alfie Sinclair, Tom Humphreys, Jackson Hastings, Billy Keeley.
