Who will play full-back for Leeds Rhinos against Catalans Dragons in Friday’s elimination play-off is yet to be decided, coach Richard Agar says.

Number one Jack Walker has been Rhinos’ last line of defence in their past two games after Lance Todd Trophy winner Richie Myler went into self-isolation, along with Tom Briscoe, Konrad Hurrell and Matt Prior.

All four are available for this week’s sudden-death tie at HJ Stadium, Warrington and Agar - who is now in isolation - said: “We have got a couple of decisions to make, obviously in and around full-back with Jack and Richie, but the 18 or 19 players is pretty straight-forward for us this week.”

Second-rower Alex Mellor will begin a two-game ban following his yellow card in Rhinos’ recent loss to Wakefield Trinity.

Prop Tom Holroyd, who had been ruled out for the rest of the season, is yet to undergo surgery on a damaged wrist and Agar added: “We have got a couple of injuries around our big fellas.

“Cuthbo [Adam Cuthbertson] is out for the season and Tommy Holroyd is struggling with his hand.

“He has not had it operated on yet, for the obvious reasons of getting him in for an operation at this point.

“I guess he is available if we need him, but we don’t think his hand is sufficiently right for him to put in the performance he needs to this weekend.”
