Leeds Rhinos team news: Skipper back to lead Rhinos
Leeds Rhinos are dealt a big boost by the news that Ash Handley is fit enough to play and captain Brad Arthur’s side against the second-placed team in Super League at the time of writing. However, Super League’s top try-scorer Maika Sivo remains on the sidelines.
Squad: Lachie Miller, Harry Newman, Ash Handley, Ryan Hall, Brodie Croft, Jake Connor, Mikolaj Oledzki, Jarrod O’Connor, Tom Holroyd, Kallum Watkins, James McDonnell, Chris Hankinson, Cooper Jenkins, Cameron Smith, Presley Cassell, Alfie Edgell, Riley Lumb, Tom Nicholson-Watton, Fergie McCormack, Jack Bird, Zak Lloyd
Wakefield Trinity vs Leeds Rhinos prediction
Wakefield Trinity’s winning streak has now reached seven games following another commanding performance last weekend, this time against Catalans Dragons. But it was a battle as the Dragons made them work for it and following a long trip back from Perpignan, they’ve had little time to brace themselves for the potential impact of Leeds Rhinos. The Super League leaders brushed aside the absence of Maika Sivo to nil Toulouse in dominating fashion this past Friday, winning 46-0.
Even without Sivo, Brad Arthur has Brodie Croft and Tom Holroyd among others to share the scoring load and this team has pounded opponents offensively across the entire campaign. Whilst a Wakefield side full of belief and home advantage poses their biggest challenge, Leeds Rhinos look like they are really peaking as a unit and with extra rest, should be backed to end the winning run of the home side.
