Saturday, 27th of March, 15:00 pm, Round 1, Emerald Headingley Stadium, Wakefield Trinity versus Leeds Rhinos, Superleague Match Fixture
Two Yorkshire clubs go head to head on Saturday, as rivals Wakefield Trinity and the Leeds Rhinos do battle. Wakefield is one of the favourites to face the drop at season’s end, but are adamant to get their season off to a good start and prove the critics wrong, while the reigning Challenge Cup holders would take great pleasure in dismantling a local rival on their way to a first Super League championship in four years.
