Rohan Smith will put a number of his outside backs in the centres when Leeds Rhinos take on Leigh Leopards. The club's two frontline centres, Harry Newman and Nene Macdonald, are both doubts to start the season due to injuries, leaving the Australian contemplating his options in the position before the Super League opener with Warrington.
Smith had already confirmed that new recurit Derrell Olpherts had been signed with a view to playing centre, despite spending the majority of his career on the wing. He will be one of several tested in the role while last year's first-choice wingers Ash Handley and David Fusitu'a will also be part of a contingent tried out there against Adrian Lam's side.
"We're going to give Ash (Handley), Fus (David Fusitu'a) and Derrell (Olpherts) some time at centre," Smith confirmed to the club's official website. "Tindall and Luis Roberts will get some good opportunities there as well.
