Wakefield Trinity hit with major injury blow as Daryl Powell confirms prognosis

WAKEFIELD TRINITY have been hit with a major injury blow to forward Ky Rodwell.

Rodwell was instrumental in Wakefield’s promotion-winning campaign during the 2023 Championship season but suffered a serious injury ahead of the 2025 Super League campaign before returning to action a few weeks ago.

However, during Trinity’s 13-12 win over Castleford Tigers last Thursday, Rodwell suffered a knee injury.

And now Wakefield head coach Daryl Powell has given the latest on him as well as Seth Nikotemo.

“Ky has done a decent injury to his knee. He got a shunt on his lower leg which has caused a fair bit of damage in his knee,” Powell said.

“He is likely to be out for ten ish weeks which is obviously disappointing. It’s pretty tough to take for Ky, he’s already had a medium-term injury this season and he’s just been getting back to feeling good about himself on the field ad he gets another big injury.

“Seth got an injury to his ribs which I don’t think is too bad. He has popped rib cartilage so he won’t play this week but should be available next week.”
