Great play by Trinity, moving it from right to left, left to right and back again ends with a Luke Gale grubber kick being kicked out. GLDO. Yet more Wakey pressure.

Ahead of the 2024 Championship season, we caught up with Powell and Lachlan Walmsley for a couple of special interviews for our special eight-page 'Kick Off' supplement in the Wakefield Express this week. Here's what Powell had to say for that:

The pitch was certainly a leveller at Featherstone last Sunday in Wakefield's 14-10 golden point extra time defeat. We're set for yet more wet conditions this evening.

We are just 15 minutes away from our 8pm kick off tonight.
