Leeds Rhinos will be without Zane Tetevano indefinitely after Rohan Smith confirmed his forward has a "a health concern."
Tetevano was left out of Smith's 21-man squad for the Magic Weekend clash against Castleford Tigers on Saturday afternoon, with Smith confirming that it is a private manner and an update will be provided in due course. The main priority for the Rhinos now is to get the 32-year-old sorted and do their best to help Tetevano through this challenging period.
"Zane had a health concern a week or two ago," said Smith. "We are awaiting specialist advice, but it is a private matter situation. He will be out indefinitely until we provide an update there. He is in good health and in good spirits."
