Leeds Rhinos' new NRL signing Sam Lisone is set to make his debut in the club's pre-season clash with Leigh Leopards. Rohan Smith's side will face the newly promoted club this Saturday as their preparations for the new season continue.
Lisone is one of two new recruits who could get their first outing in Leeds colours, with former Leigh centre Luis Roberts also included in the 21-man squad named. Fellow new signings Derrell Olpherts, Justin Sangare, James McDonnell and Leon Ruan are also set to feature having had their first hit out against Wakefield Trinity on Boxing Day.
James Bentley, Rhyse Martin and Cameron Smith, who all missed the Boxing Day bout, all remain absent from the squad. As expected, Harry Newman, Nene Macdonald, Mikolaj Oledzki and Luke Hooley all miss out as they continue to recover from their respective injuries. Corey Johnson and Toby Warren are also absent.
