Championship leaders Wakefield Trinity put their unbeaten record on the line when they visit Barrow Raiders, who were encouraged by their winning performance at Swinton last week.
It’s obvious a tough test for Paul Crarey’s men as Trinity are not only unbeaten in the Championship, but they also went on to win the 1895 Cup at Wembley, so they don’t know what defeat is since dropping out of Super League.
Last weekend’s 24-10 win at Swinton saw them move up the table to 10th after starting the week-nd next to bottom.
Barrow suffered a 30-12 loss to the West Yorkshire side in the 1895 Cup quarter-final in March which was played at Wakefield.
Crarey has named his 21-man squad and hooker Aaron Smith returns to the fold for the first time since suffering an injury in the clash with Batley Bulldogs on May 5. New loan signing Blain Marwood goes straight into contention after joining on a two-week loan deal from Workington Town.
Brett Carter and Finn McMillan also return to the mix, with Max Anderson-Moore, Amir Bourouh, Jacob Douglas and Harvey Makin missing out this weekend.
Trinity have named their 20-man squad to travel to Cumbria with Mason Lino and Thomas Doyle dropping out and only Isaac Shaw coming into contention.
Barrow squad: Luke Broadbent, Andrew Bulman, Brett Carter, Max Clarke, Matt Costello, Luke Cresswell, Ellis Gillam, Delaine Gittens-Bedward, James Greenwood, Ryan Johnston, Blain Marwood, Finn McMillan, Ryan Shaw, Razor Silva, Aaron Smith, Jarrad Stack, Brad Walker, Tom Walker, Tom Wilkinson, Josh Wood, Greg Worthington.,
Wakefield squad: Max Jowitt, Jermaine McGillveray, Oliver Pratt, Lachlan Walmsley, Luke Gale, Josh Bowden, Liam Hood, Renouf Atoni, Matty Ashurst, Josh Griffin, Jay Pitts, Liam Kay, Caleb Uele, Luke Bain, Jack Croft, Romain Franco, Isaac Shaw, Harvey Smith, Noah Booth, Derrell Olpherts.
