Captain Cameron Smith is today poised to make his 150th appearance for Leeds Rhinos.

The 25-year-old loose-forward is back in Rhinos’ squad for the Magic Weekend meeting with Warrington Wolves at Elland Road, following a one-game ban. He made his Leeds debut eight years ago as a substitute in a Betfred Super League defeat at Huddersfield Giants.

Smith is an option to replace stand-off Brodie Croft who is on compassionate leave in Australia following the death of his grandfather. Jack Sinfield, whose most recent first team game was the 30-18 loss at Warrington on July 11, is another half-back candidate, along with Corey Johnson.

Johnson, who has been on dual-registration with Halifax Panthers, was 18th man for last week’s 30-4 hammering of Wigan Warriors, but is without a Rhinos appearance since June.
