Sam Lisone has been left out of Leeds Rhinos' clash with St Helens. The prop, a new NRL recruit from Gold Coast Titans played in the first two games but has not been named in the squad to take on the Super League champions due to illness.
Lisone is continuing to build his fitness, with Rohan Smith admitting that he needs time to fully get up to speed. But he has not been chosen for the trip to the Totally Wicked Stadium in one of two changes, with Sam Walters taking his place. The other change is enforced, with Morgan Gannon missing out due to concussion. That sees James McDonnell come in for his debut since signing from Wigan Warriors.
The other change is at hooker, with Jarrod O'Connor given the nod to stand. Kruise Leeming had started the first two games but O'Connor will lead from the front this week.
