Wakefield Trinity's Liam Hood knows all about relegation dogfights as he looks to rescue season

Wakefield hooker Liam Hood insists he’s not “worried” about the club’s Betfred Super League status - even still awaiting a first win.

The Scotland international, 31, has been in relegation dogfights before so knows all about the pressures involved. Wakefield look to get off the mark at last when they host his former club Leigh today but are already huge favourites for the drop. They have lost all eight games so far and already four points adrift of nearest rivals Hull and Castleford.

But Hood was in a similar position with Leigh, twice suffering relegation with them, and he’s no intention of enduring it a third time.

And four years later, they lost a staggering 16 successive games before getting their first success but obviously were already doomed point.
