Change made as Leeds Rhinos 21-man squad named v Hull KR
Coach Brad Arthur has made one change to Leeds Rhinos’ initial squad for Friday’s crunch home clash with Hull KR.
The 17 players on duty in last Thursday’s win at Warrington Wolves are all included, but winger Riley Lumb has replaced full-back Fergus McCormack. Lumb has not featured since Rhinos’ defeat at Leigh Leopards in Betfred Super League round one.
McCormack made three appearances during Lachie Miller’s recent ban, but dropped out of the side when the number one returned last week. Centre Jack Bird and prop Tom Holroyd - who dropped out of the team several weeks ago because of injury - continue in the provisional group.
There are two changes to the Robins’ squad. Shoulder injury victims winger Joe Burgess and substitute prop Sam Luckley both drop out from the side which beat Leigh Leopards last Friday. They are replaced by Oliver Gilldart - who is available after concussion - and Cobie Wainhouse.


Rhinos’ 21 man squad is: Lachie Miller, Maika Sivo, Harry Newman, Ash Handley, Ryan Hall, Brodie Croft, Jake Connor, Mikolaj Oledzki, Jarrod O’Connor, Tom Holroyd, Kallum Watkins, James McDonnell, Keenan Palasia, Chris Hankinson, Cooper Jenkins, Cameron Smith, Presley Cassell, Riley Lumb, Danny Levi, Tom Nicholson-Watton, Jack Bird.
Hull KR’s squad is: Tom Davies, Peta Hiku, Oliver Gildart, Mikey Lewis, Tyrone May, Sauaso Sue, Jez Litten, Tom Amone, Dean Hadley, James Batchelor, Elliot Minchella, Jack Broadbent, Jai Whitbread, Rhyse Martin, Karl Lawton, Jordan Dezaria, Noah Booth, Bill Leyland, Cobie Wainhouse, Ryan Hampshire, Tevita Pangai Jr.
