Richard Agar names inexperienced Leeds Rhinos squad to face Bradford Bulls

Leeds Rhinos head coach Richard Agar has named a youthful 20-man squad for Sunday's pre-season friendly at old adversaries Bradford Bulls.

Homegrown star Liam Sutcliffe will captain the team and full-back Jack Walker will also feature at Odsal.

Other first-team regulars named in the squad include Rhyse Martin, Bodene Thompson, Alex Mellor and Jack Broadbent.

But none of the club's pre-season signings - Blake Austin, Aidan Sezer, James Bentley and David Fusitu'a - will play any part.

The Rhinos' team will be made up largely of Academy players as Agar's squad takes another step in their preparation for the new Super League campaign.

Agar’s side face Hull FC in Tom Briscoe’s testimonial match at Headingley next Sunday before their season-opener at home to Warrington Wolves on Saturday, February 12.
