Jackson Hastings will make his first appearance of the season for Wigan Warriors after being named in Adrian Lam's side to take on Wakefield.
After missing last week's victory against Leigh following his late return to pre-season training, Hastings has been deemed fit enough to feature against Trinity, as the Warriors look to make it back-to-back victories to start the new season.
Hastings replaces Harry Smith at half-back, with the youngster dropping down to the bench and the injured Jai Field dropping out of the squad. With Field absent, and frontline three-quarters Oliver Gildart, Dom Manfredi and Liam Marshall still missing, another back-rower will join Willie Isa in the centres, with Liam Farrell moving into the backline.
Jake Bibby reverts to the wing, while Morgan Smithies comes from the bench to start in the back-row alongside John Bateman. Youngster Umyla Hanley retains his place on the wing.
Meanwhile, Wakefield make two changes to the team that narrowly lost to Leeds on the opening weekend. Ryan Hampshire is fit and comes in to replace Alex Walker at full-back, with first-choice Max Jowitt still out injured. The other change is in the pack; Jay Pitts comes in, and Kelepi Tanginoa reverts to the bench, with Adam Tangata dropping out of Chris Chester's 17.
