Harry Newman's eye-catching role on Leeds Rhinos return against Wakefield Trinity

Harry Newman will start from the bench on his return from injury for Leeds Rhinos. The centre has been named as one of Rohan Smith's four interchanges in what is his first appearance since recovering from hamstring surgery.

Smith had confirmed both he and James Bentley would feature for the first time during the week, with Ireland international Bentley also on the bench. They are the two of three changes, with Sam Lisone returning after illness last week. They replace Justin Sangare, who has been given time off to celebrate the birth of his child, the injured Kruise Leeming and James Donaldson.

Smith has opted to play James McDonnell over Donaldson The back-rower, a new arrival from Wigan Warriors, gets the nod over the Cumbrian after an assured debut in the club's victory over St Helens. McDonnell missed the first two games of the season as he recovered from illness but defended well in the victory over the World Club champions.
