Leeds Rhinos forced into changes to 21-man squad for Hull FC clash

Leeds Rhinos have been forced into making a number of changes to their 21-man squad for Thursday night's Super League clash with Hull FC.

Richard Agar will be without the services of captain Kruise Leeming and forward Cameron Smith, both of whom have picked up suspensions following last week's win at Wakefield Trinity.

Furthermore, centre Harry Newman has also dropped out of the Rhinos' squad after picking up an injury in that win against Trinity last Thursday, which was Leeds' first of the new Super League season.

That means there will be a different look to the 17 that takes to the field against Brett Hodgson's side on Thursday. Young hooker Corey Johnson is included and could be set for a place in the side if he is chosen to partner Brad Dwyer in the hooking department.

Leeds are also without long-term injury absentees Richie Myler, Tom Holroyd and Sam Walters, while James Bentley is serving the final match of his four-game suspension received in the opening weekend of the season.

Leeds Rhinos 21-man squad: Jack Walker, David Fusitu'a, Liam Sutcliffe, Ash Handley, Blake Austin, Aidan Sezer, Mikolaj Oledzki, Matt Prior, Rhyse Martin, Zane Tetevano, Brad Dwyer, Alex Mellor, Bodene Thompson, Tom Briscoe, Morgan Gannon, Jack Broadbent, Jarrod O'Connor, James Donaldson, Corey Johnson, Muizz Mustapha, Liam Tindall.
