Rohan Smith has plenty of selections headaches ahead of Leeds Rhinos’ trip to Toulouse, but not in a good way. His star hooker is injured, both his senior halfbacks ruled out and a string of front line props are unavailable.
Throw in the fact that Zak Hardaker is a major doubt with a dead leg, it’s not an easy team to piece together.
Starting at fullback, Richie Myler seems a safe choice on the basis Hardaker is unavailable. But if the former Man Of Steel is absent, it would leave them light in the rest of the back line. The obvious move would be for Liam Sutcliffe to remain in the centres given his form and give young Max Simpson a chance. But that would mean running with a halfback combination of Corey Johnson and Jack Sinfield, which would bring further youth to a squad already lacking key men.
