A surprise name has been included in Leeds Rhinos’ squad for Saturday’s game at Catalans Dragons, but hopes of a key man returning have been dashed.
Hooker Corey Johnson is in contention for his first Rhinos appearance this year, having joined Bradford Bulls on what was described as a “season-long loan” in February. He played just once for Bradford, but featured in Rhinos’ reserves last weekend and has been linked with a loan move to Halifax Panthers. Teenage back Jack Smith has been included in Rhinos’ initial squad for the first time, but centre Harry Newman will miss a third successive game.
Winger Riley Lumb and stand-off Brodie Croft drop out after being injured in last Friday’s win against London Broncos. Scrum-half Matt Frawley, prop Tom Nicholson-Watton, centre Ned McCormack and second-row Ben Littlewood all retain their place in the squad after not being selected for last week’s 17.
