Friday 9th October, 17:30, Super League Round 15, Emerald Headingley Stadium, Leeds, Wakefield Trinity versus St Helens Match Preview
Wakefield have lost eight games in a row as they prop up the rest of Super League. St Helens, meanwhile, have won their last seven league games with only a quarter-final Challenge Cup defeat to Warrington blotting their copybook since the resumption. That could well be a blessing in disguise as the Saints sit top of the league heading into the business end of the season.
