Daryl Powell believes there is more improvement to come from his Wakefield Trinity team
The fixture was originally scheduled to be at Wakefield’s DIY Kitchens Stadium, but work is still ongoing on the critical water supply issue within the Neil Fox MBE Stand so it has been switched to York, with the home match against the Knights to take place on September 15.
It means an earlier than envisaged return to a ground where Powell’s men have already won this season – by a resounding 40-4 margin in the 1895 Cup in February. But there will be no taking the result for granted in the first league meeting between the sides.
“They are all different games and I don’t think you can go into any game expecting to be just like it was the week before, or two, three, four weeks or whatever,” said head coach Powell.
“You have to start again and have your principles in place, look after what you have got to do in that game because you just never know.
“We’re playing away at the minute because of a couple of problems with our ground. I think we’re dealing with that okay and we now go away to York, it’s a stadium with a lot of quality about it and it’s a great surface.
“We’ll hopefully start well again and we are always looking to start well – I thought we did that against Doncaster – and if we do that we set ourselves a platform to go on with it.
