James Bentley set to take up key Leeds Rhinos role in Leigh Leopards clash

Rohan Smith has made one change to the Leeds Rhinos side taking on Leigh Leopards tonight. James Bentley returns after missing last week's victory over Hull FC, replacing interchange hooker Corey Johnson.

Ireland international Bentley had a niggle last week, but has recovered to feature against the Leopards. He is likely to have a stint at hooker in place of Jarrod O'Connor, when he is in need of a spell on the sidelines.

But the team is otherwise unchanged. Rhyse Martin continues at centre and Sam Lisone will start at prop again after an impressive display against the Black and Whites last week. Tom Holroyd, who played more minutes despite playing on the bench, will continue in that role.

Zane Tetevano is given another chance to impress in the back-row while James McDonnell retains his place. Liam Tindall is the outside back on the bench.

Rhinos: Richie Myler, Nene Macdonald, Harry Newman, Rhyse Martin, Ash Handley, Blake Austin, Aidan Sezer, Mikolaj Oledzki, Jarrod O'Connor, Sam Lisone, Zane Tetevano, James McDonnell, Cameron Smith. Subs: Tom Holroyd, Liam Tindall, Justin Sangare, James Bentley.
