Wakefield Trinity are predicted to bounce back from a narrow defeat against Leeds, facing an out-of-form St Helens in Super League Round 23. The recommendation is to back Wakefield at -12.5 on the handicap and over 28.5 team points. St Helens’ defensive struggles, having conceded 32+ points in their last three games and losing four of their last five, give Wakefield’s powerful forward rotation a significant edge. Isaiah Vagana, with four tries in three games, is tipped as an appealing tryscorer.

Wakefield Trinity vs St Helens Super League Round 23 Tips & Prediction


Wakefield Trinity are backed to bounce back from their narrow defeat to Leeds by covering the -12.5 handicap against an out-of-form St Helens.

Saints have lost four of their last five and their last four defeats have all come by at least 12 points. Defence is the biggest concern, with St Helens conceding 32+ points in three straight games.

Wakefield's forward rotation should provide a major advantage as the game progresses, while Jake Trueman and Jack Sinfield have the weapons to expose Saints on both edges. That also makes Wakefield Over 28.5 team points appealing.

Isaiah Vagana is the standout tryscorer option after crossing four times in his last three games.


  • Wakefield have won four of their last five games.
  • St Helens have lost four of their last five games.
  • St Helens' last four defeats have all been by 12+ points.
  • Saints have conceded 32+ points in their last three matches.
  • Wakefield have scored 26+ points in four of their last five games.
  • Isaiah Vagana has scored four tries in his last three games.

Wakefield Trinity Form Analysis


Wakefield's seven-game winning streak ended with a narrow 24-22 defeat to league leaders Leeds last week, but there was little to dislike about the performance.

Trinity have scored 26+ points in four of their last five and their powerful forward rotation should cause an undermanned Saints pack problems as the game wears on.

St Helens Form Analysis


St Helens are struggling badly, losing four of their last five and conceding 104 points across their last three matches.

Jack Welsby, Tristan Sailor and Harry Robertson can still create opportunities, but Saints' defensive issues and lack of depth through the forwards make this a difficult matchup.

Wakefield Trinity vs St Helens Team News


Wakefield have several players pushing to return, with availability through their forward pack potentially providing another boost ahead of the clash.

St Helens also have injury concerns, with George Whitby among those facing a fitness battle. Their lack of forward depth remains a major concern against Wakefield's powerful interchange rotation.

Verdict

Wakefield -12.5 is the best bet, with Trinity also backed to score Over 28.5 points. Isaiah Vagana is the tryscorer selection after crossing four times in his last three games.
