Season review

Wakefield's season got off to a poor start when they lost their first pre-season friendly 34–6 to Leeds Rhinos [1] and were subsequently fined for a breach of operational rules regarding the RFL Covid-19 policy. [2] On 13 February, Wakefield began their Super League campaign with a 16–12 loss to Hull F.C. [3] which was followed by a 24–22 loss at Catalans Dragons. [4] Wakefield suffered two more losses before gaining their first win of the season, an 18–12 victory over Toulouse Olympique. [5] Then came two successful visits to Warrington Wolves for wins in the league and Challenge Cup [6] and a victory over Salford Red Devils that moved Wakefield up to seventh in the table. [7] There winning run ended with a loss to Wigan Warriors in the quarter-finals of the Challenge Cup [8] with their next win not coming until early June against Hull F.C. by which time Wakefield had slipped to 11th in the table. [9]

At the Magic Weekend, a 38–26 loss to Toulouse left Wakefield only two points from the bottom of the table, [10] and a 15–10 loss to Hull Kingston Rovers in the next round saw Wakefield drop below Toulouse on points difference. [11] However, by the end of the month they had moved back out of the relegation spot with a 32–6 victory over Castleford Tigers, [12] and began moving clear of danger from mid-August with a 30–12 win over Wigan. [13] Wakefield came close to finishing off the season with a fifth consecutive win, but lost 14–16 to Huddersfield Giants in extra time. [14]
