Star duo called up as Wakefield Trinity 21-man squad named for Super League round 1
Former NRL ace Jazz Tevaga is poised to make his Wakefield Trinity debut this weekend.
The Samoan international, who can play at hooker or loose-forward, has been included in Trinity’s initial 21-man squad for Saturday’s visit of Toulouse Olympique in Betfred Super League round one. Tevaga, who played for New Zealand Warriors and Manly Sea Eagles in the southern hemisphere competition, wasn’t risked in last week’s Betfred Challenge Cup tie at Swinton Lions.
England prop Mike McMeeken is set for his first game since last year’s Ashes series and Lachlan Walmsley has also been called into the squad. Jayden Myers, Noah High and Charlie Abraham drop out from the 21 named last week.
Trinity’s 21 is: Max Jowitt, Cameron Scott, Corey Hall, Jake Trueman, Mason Lino, Mike McMeeken, Tyson Smoothy, Seth Nikotemo, Matty Storton, Jazz Tevaga, Jay Pitts, Caleb Hamlin-Uele, Caius Faatili, Harvey Smith, Isaiah Vagana, Lachlan Walmsley, Jack Sinfield, Josh Rourke, Tray Lolesio, Jordan Williams, Will Tate.
