Leeds Rhinos v Toronto Wolfpack - one change as squad is named

Full-back Jack Walker is out after suffering an ankle injury during last Friday’s 36-0 thrashing of Warrington Wolves.

Liam Sutcliffe, who has missed two games due to a knee injury, takes his place on Rhinos’ long-list.

Rhinos do not have another experienced full-back on their full-time roster.

Richie Myler, a half-back who has been playing as Rhinos’ replacement hooker, was man of the match after coming off the bench to replace Walker at full-back last week, but Agar insisted that is not necessarily how they will line up against Wolfpack.

He said: “We trained Ash Handley there in pre-season so that’s an option for us.”

Joe Greenwood, signed last week on a two-month loan from Wigan Warriors, has been named in Rhinos’ initial squad.

Centre/second-row Alex Sutcliffe, stand-off Callum McLelland and prop Tom Holroyd - who all played on dual-registration in Featherstone Rovers 34-10 Betfred Championship win at London Broncos - also retain their place in the 21.

“He is in contention,” Agar said of Greenwood.

“Jack’s not fit for this week so we will just decide what’s the best fit for our bench.

“There’s Joe and Callum has been going terrific for Featherstone.

“I would have no hesitation in using him as a spare pivot on the bench.

“Alex Sutcliffe played really well at Fev too, so has Tommy Holroyd and Liam Sutcliffe could be back from injury.

“We will have a look and see what’s the best fit for this particular game.”

Meanwhile, Rhinos under-18s begin their home campaign on Wednesday when they face Wigan Warriors at Stanningley (7pm).

Rhinos’ 21 man squad to take on Toronto is: Harry Newman, Konrad Hurrell, Ash Handley, Rob Lui, Luke Gale, Ava Seumanufagai, Matt Prior, Alex Mellor, Rhyse Martin, Brad Dwyer, Liam Sutcliffe, Richie Myler, Adam Cuthbertson, Mikolaj Oledzki, Cameron Smith, Callum McLelland, Luke Briscoe, James Donaldson, Alex Sutcliffe, Tom Holroyd, Joe Greenwood.
