Leeds Rhinos’ utility man Alex Sutcliffe could make Featherstone Rovers return at London Broncos
DUAL-REGISTERED CENTRE or second-rower Alex Sutcliffe could make his Featherstone Rovers return tomorrow.
Sutcliffe was a key figure for Rovers during the second half of last season, but has yet to make an appearance for them this term.
Now recovered from a broken hand, he featured as a substitute for Leeds Rhinos in their Betfred Super League win at Salford Red Devils a week ago and has been named in Rovers’ initial 21-man squad for the big Championship showdown at London Broncos (3pm).
Tom Holroyd and Callum McLelland are the other dual-registered Leeds players in contention for Featherstone.
Danny Bravo, who played on dual-registration for Leeds Rhinos’ reserves in their opening match of the season against Bradford Bulls earlier this month, has joined Doncaster on a season-long loan from Batley Bulldogs.
Dominic Horn has signed for Bulldogs after a spell as a trialist.
Batley are at home to Sheffield Eagles tomorrow (3pm) while Dewsbury Rams have a late kick-off for their home meeting with Widnes Vikings (6.15pm).
That game will be live-streamed on the Rugby Football League’s Our League website.
Hunslet begin their Betfred League One campaign away to West Wales Raiders tomorrow (3pm).
