Wakefield Trinity coach Daryl Powell has indicated uncertainty about the future of Australian hooker Tyson Smoothy.

However, Powell admitted, "Whether he's here after that, we'll talk about that further down the track." Smoothy has featured in nine Super League matches for Wakefield this season, contributing two tries to the team's efforts.
