Hull FC v Leeds Rhinos: Jones-Buchanan all set to reach appearance milestone

Nineteen years after his debut, Jones-Buchanan is set to become only the 14th player to make 400 appearances for Leeds when they visit Hull in Betfred Super League.

The others are: John Holmes (625 appearances), Fred Webster (543), Kevin Sinfield (521), John Atkinson (518), Rob Burrow (492), David Ward (482), Alan Smith (479), Danny McGuire (468), Jim Brough (442), Ray Batten (434), Les Dyl (434), Ewan Williams (415) and Neil Hague (411).

Jones-Buchanan, 36, is the second-oldest player in Super League, behind Warrington Wolves’ Ben Westwood who was born a week earlier.

Adam Cuthbertson is tackled by Wigan's Tony Clubb and Liam Farrell.

He said: “To play 400 games is a massive honour. I am so proud to have represented my home town for so long.”

Tonight is also a milestone for Adam Cuthbertson, who will play his 100th Leeds game.

Rhinos coach Brian McDermott will select from the 17 players who lost 9-8 to Wigan Warriors five days ago, plus Brett Ferres and Josh Walters.

Hooker Brad Dwyer, who was named in last week’s 19 but did not play, has joined Rhinos’ casualty list.

He suffered a fractured elbow in the Good Friday draw at Huddersfield Giants, but played two games before the injury was diagnosed.

Also ruled out are Liam Sutcliffe (foot), Mitch Garbutt (knee), Nathaniel Peteru (biceps) and Jack Walker (ankle), plus Jimmy Keinhorst who has joined Widnes Vikings on loan.

Forwards Sika Manu, Mark Minichiello and Dean Hadley have recovered from injury and are back in contention for Hull.

Jordan Lane is also vying for a call-up.

Danny Washbrook and Jack Downs drop out from the team which won 39-20 at Widnes Vikings last week.

Leeds Rhinos: from Golding, Briscoe, Watkins, Hall, Moon, Myler, Cuthbertson, Parcell, Singleton, Jones-Buchanan, Ablett, Ward, Delaney, Mullally, Ferres, Handley, Smith, Oledzki, Walters.

Hull: from Shaul, Faraimo, Tuimavave, Griffin, Talanoa, Kelly, Sneyd, Taylor, Houghton, Hadley, Minichiello, Bowden, Connor, Green, Manu, Litten, Paea, Lane, Matongo.

Referee: Ben Thaler (Wakefield).

Kick-off: Tomorrow, 7.45pm.
