Super League team guide: Wakefield hoping to put last season to rest
Published:
Team Name: Wakefield Trinity
Nickname: Wildcats
Ground: Belle Vue
Famous Fans: The Cribs, Michael Parkinson, Jane MacDonald
Super League Wins: None
Last Season: 12th
New Signings: Craig Hall (Hull KR), Michael Simon (Catalans), Matty Ashurst (Salford), Lopini Paea (Catalans), Chris Riley (Warrington), Tim Smith (Salford), Richard Owen (Castleford), Ian Kirke (Leeds), Jacob Miller (Hull FC).
Head Coach: James Webster
Aussie Webster has bags of playing experience, having featured for NRL side Parramatta and both Hull KR and Hull FC in Super League. The 35-year-old will hope that he can pass his knowledge on and help the Wildcats improve on last season’s 12th placed finish.
Having won three of his four games in charge, and drawing the other, Webster may have installed some confidence and belief in to the squad which could translate into a solid start for Trinity.
Star Man: Pita Godinet
The 27-year-old Samoa international was everywhere for the Wildcats during his debut season, heavily involved in the action on all fronts.
The former New Zealand Warrior chipped in with six tries – just three behind top scorer Reece Lyne – and was also the club’s biggest provider with nine assists and second highest tackler with 414.
