Cameron Smith is the latest player to be tested in the halves after Rohan Smith named the Leeds Rhinos side to take on Wigan Warriors. Smith, the ball-playing loose forward, has been shifted to halfback as the Rhinos continue to manage the absence of senior halfbacks Blake Austin and Luke Gale.
The Rhinos ran with Jack Sinfield and Corey Johnson last week but the pair struggled to take a stranglehold of the game in the sweltering French conditions. Smith will now be tasked with the role and will play alongside Richie Myler, who makes way for the returning Zak Hardaker at fullback
It's another key change to an ever rotating side due to injury and suspension, with the likes of Kruise Leeming, Matt Prior and Zane Tetevano still all unavailable. Liam Sutcliffe has recovered from illness to play centre and is joined by Harry Newman, who has served his suspension.

He's joined by Muizz Mustapha on the bench who gets a rare opportunity.
