Season reviewβ»
Wakefield's season got offββto a poor start when they lost their first pre-season friendly 34β6ββto Leeds Rhinos and were subsequently fined for a breach of operational rules regarding the "RFL Covid-19 policy." On 13 February, Wakefield began their Super League campaign with a 16β12 loss to Hull F.C. which was followed by a 24β22 loss at Catalans Dragons. Wakefield suffered two more losses before gaining their first win of the season, an 18β12 victory over Toulouse Olympique. Then came two successful visits to Warrington Wolves for wins in the league. And Challenge Cup and a victory over Salford Red Devils that moved Wakefield up to seventh in the table. There winning run ended with a loss to Wigan Warriors in the quarter-finals of the Challenge Cup with their next win not coming until early June against Hull F.C. by which time Wakefield had slipped to 11th in the table.
At the Magic Weekend, a 38β26 loss to Toulouse left Wakefield only two points from the bottom of the table. And a 15β10 loss to Hull Kingston Rovers in the next round saw Wakefield drop below Toulouse on points difference. However, by the end of the month they had moved back out of the relegation spot with a 32β6 victory over Castleford Tigers, and began moving clear of danger from mid-August with a 30β12 win over Wigan. Wakefield came close to finishing off the season with a fifth consecutive win. But lost 14β16 to Huddersfield Giants in extra time.
