Leeds Rhinos boss Richard Agar is “gutted” for forward Alex Mellor, who suffered a knee injury in Thursday's win at Hull.

The second-rower will undergo a scan and Agar said: “We’ve got our fingers crossed it is a medial injury - and a lower grade one - rather than any damage to his cruciate.

“I am gutted for him - he is a good kid for us, he has been really consistent and we’ve said for many weeks we want a bit of luck and some continuity in our lineup.

“We will find a way though, there’s an opportunity for some other guys in our squad.”
