There are close connections between the sides, with Trinity boss Daryl Powell being a former Leeds coach, while Wakefield's Corey Hall, Liam Hood and Jay Pitts all played for Rhinos. They are in good company, a host of players having turned out for both clubs since Super League began in 1996. Here's a 13 of players with past experience at Rhinos and Trinity.

Full-back: Richard Mathers

An early member of Rhinos' Golden Generation and 2004 Grand Final winner, Mathers scored 24 tries in 71 games for Wakefield from 2012-2014.

Wing: Ben Jones-Bishop

Having touched down 46 times in 76 games for Leeds, including two wins at Old Trafford, the full-back/winger went on to make 110 appearances with Wakefield, scoring 61 tries.
