The annual question of how sides will react to winning or losing the Challenge Cup final will be answered tonight.

Leeds, beaten at Cardiff, must regroup without four players from last Saturday's team. Wayne McDonald, Rob Burrow and Chev Walker are ruled out, while Matt Adamson will be missing for several weeks after aggravating his facial injuries.

The Rhinos add Jamie Jones-Buchanan, Danny McGuire and Richard Mathers to the squad, with Chris Feather playing against his former club. Jamie Rooney will start for Wakefield for the first time.

Bradford's Brian Noble has called up Richard Moore and his reserve hooker, Aaron Smith, for tonight's trip to Wigan. For the hosts, Terry Newton is injured and Brett Dallas has had a setback with his hamstring injury.
