Leeds Rhinos squad named for Hull clash

Rhinos coach Brian McDermott will select from the 17 players beaten 9-8 by Wigan Warriors last week, plus Brett Ferres and Josh Walters.

They both dropped out of the side for last Friday’s game after featuring in the previous weekend’s win at Wakefield Trinity.

Hooker Brad Dwyer, who was named in the squad to face Wigan but did not feature, has been ruled out due to a fractured elbow.

He suffered the injury in Rhinos’ Good Friday draw at Huddersfield Giants and played against Salford Red Devils and Wakefield Trinity before the break was diagnosed.

Rhinos are still without Liam Sutcliffe (foot), Mitch Garbutt (knee), Nathaniel Peteru (biceps) and Jack Walker (ankle), plus Jimmy Keinhorst who has joined Widnes Vikings on loan.

This week’s game will be Jamie Jones-Buchanan’s 400th for Leeds and Adam Cuthbertson’s 100th.

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

Manu has not played since suffering a calf injury when Hull lost at Leeds last month.

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’ 19-man squad is: Ashton Golding, Tom Briscoe, Kallum Watkins, Ryan Hall, Joel Moon, Richie Myler, Adam Cuthbertson, Matt Parcell, Brad Singleton, Jamie Jones-Buchanan, Carl Ablett, Stevie Ward, Brett Delaney, Anthony Mullally, Brett Ferres, Ash Handley, Cameron Smith, Mikolaj Oledzki, Josh Walters.

Hull’s 19-man squad is: Jamie Shaul, Bureta Faraimo, Carlos Tuimavave, Josh Griffin, Fetuli Talanoa, Albert Kelly, Marc Sneyd, Scott Taylor, Danny Houghton, Dean Hadley, Mark Minichiello, Josh Bowden, Jake Connor, Chris Green, Sika Manu, Jez Litten, Mickey Paea, Jordan Lane, Masi Matongo.
