Three first team regulars have definitely been ruled out of Leeds Rhinos’ side to face St Helens in Saturday’s Grand Final and another couple are in doubt.

Long-term casualty centre Harry Newman underwent surgery on a hamstring last week and half-back Aidan Sezer and second-row Morgan Gannon are both unavailable because of rugby league’s concussion protocols.

Wingers Ash Handley and David Fusitu’a are unlikely to return, coach Rohan Smith has said, but Rhyse Martin is back in contention after suspension.
