Super League Table: Wakefield Trinity Host Leigh Leopards in Friday Night Spectacle
super league table focus shifts to Wakefield Trinity as the club hosts Leigh Leopards this Friday, kick-off 8: 00 pm ET at DIY Kitchens Stadium. Wakefield Trinity named a 21-Man Squad with Head Coach Daryl Powell welcoming Tyson Smoothy back after concussion protocols while Tray Lolesio drops out on a one-week loan to Bradford Bulls. Leigh Leopards enter the fixture having struggled in Super League so far in 2026, their only win coming in Round One against Leeds Rhinos.
Super League Table Matchday Squad and Entertainment
Wakefield Trinity released the 21-Man Squad for the match, listing Tyson Smoothy — the former Brisbane Broncos player — back in contention after missing the past two games under concussion protocols and failing a HIA away at Warrington. Tray Lolesio is omitted from the matchday selection as he heads to Bradford Bulls on a one-week loan. The squad announcement comes from Wakefield Trinity’s official team communications ahead of kick-off at 8: 00 pm ET.
The club is staging its biggest pre-game entertainment show yet. Gareth Taylor returns to perform Queen covers and Heartburn Entertainment will present fire breathers, stilt walkers and acrobats. Tickets remain available and continue selling fast, the club notes, with supporters urged to secure seats for the evening show at DIY Kitchens Stadium, Doncaster Road, Wakefield, WF1 5EY.
This fixture lands squarely on many fans’ Super League Table radar: the super league table will reflect the night’s result for both clubs, with Wakefield Trinity seeking momentum and Leigh Leopards aiming to arrest a difficult run in 2026. The matchday schedule and entertainment have been highlighted by the club as part of the event build-up.
What to Watch: Squad Moves, Kick-off Details and Immediate Reactions
Kick-off is fixed for 8: 00 pm ET. Wakefield Trinity named their squad and confirmed Tyson Smoothy’s return; that selection was announced by the club and attributed to Daryl Powell, Head Coach, Wakefield Trinity. Powell has welcomed Smoothy back into the 21-Man Squad following concussion protocols. Tray Lolesio’s short-term move was communicated by the club as a one-week loan to Bradford Bulls.
Leigh Leopards’ season position and recent form in Super League are noted in the club briefing: the Leopards’ only win in 2026 came in Round One against Leeds Rhinos. That record frames expectations for the fixture and the attention on the super league table across supporters and club staff alike.
Immediate reactions have been limited to official squad and event statements from Wakefield Trinity. Daryl Powell is listed as head coach in the team announcement; Tyson Smoothy is identified as a former Brisbane Broncos player who missed recent matches after a failed HIA at Warrington. The club has signalled that matchday updates and offers will be available through its regular channels.
What’s Next: Matchday and Post-Match Updates

After the final whistle, the super league table will register the result and clubs will publish post-match updates. For now, the focus is on the squad list, the return of Tyson Smoothy and the packed matchday programme that Wakefield Trinity has put on to accompany the fixture.
