Leeds Rhinos and Wakefield Trinity meet at AMT Headingley on Saturday for the second time this season, to continue a rivalry which dates back to rugby league’s first season, in 1895.

There are close connections between the sides, with Trinity boss Daryl Powell being a former Leeds coach, while Wakefield’s Corey Hall, Liam Hood and Jay Pitts all played for Rhinos. They are in good company, a host of players having turned out for both clubs since Super League began in 1996. Here’s a 17 of players with past experience at Rhinos and Trinity.

Powell did an underrated job as Rhinos coach from 2001-2003, putting in place many of the foundations which led to years of success. He joined Wakefield last year and led them to Championship Grand Final success, promotion and an 1895 Cup triumph.
