Sunday, 9th of August, 3:15 pm, Round 8, Emerald Headingley Stadium, Wakefield Trinity take on Wigan Warriors Superleague Match Fixture
Wakefield and Wigan go head to head recently Wigan has been more superior in terms of consistency and winning more rugby league matches throughout the season but from their most recent battle they suffered an ugly loss before the break to Salford whilst Wakefield has been on a rollercoaster ride throughout the season but in their loses they haven’t been leaking many points so effort doesn’t seem to be a problem for Wakefield if Wigan is not prepared for this one they may find themselves licking more wounds.
