Leeds Rhinos star halfback provides Rohan Smith boost before Hull KR clash

Leeds Rhinos coach Rohan Smith has welcomed back Blake Austin and Justin Sangare for the visit of Hull KR to Headingley Stadium on Friday evening.

The in-form halfback is back in contention after Austin missed last Sunday's win at Salford through suspension. French international Sangare has overcome a foot injury, providing a major boost to Leeds' pack ahead of their clash with the Robins. Jack Sinfield also returns after playing for England Academy in France last week.

One player Leeds will be without is ex-KR star James Donaldson, who failed a HIA at Salford. Harry Newman, Zane Tetevano and Morgan Gannon are still unavailable and will be long-term absentees for Smith.
