Whitehaven’s hat-trick star Jake Maizen will miss Sunday’s home game with Wakefield Trinity.
Maizen, who grabbed three tries in Haven’s draw at Widnes last Sunday, is unavailable for the clash against the League leaders.
Centre Will Evans, whose interception sparked one of the tries for Maizen, is also missing through injury. It was Evans, rather than Maizen who was included in Rugby League World’s Championship team of the week, along with Haven half-back Lachlan Hanneghan.
Head coach Jonty Gorley has named just 18 for the game, which will be a test as Wakefield head the table with eight wins from their eight Championship games.
