Leeds Rhinos without key signing for Salford Red Devils clash

Richard Agar has named his 17-man squad for the clash with Salford Red Devils, with David Fusitu'a a notable absentee. Four changes have been made but it's the absence of Fusitu'a that catches the eye, with the winger missing through a minor knee injury.

It means Jack Broadbent is called upon for the first time this season and returns to the line up alongside captain Kruise Leeming, Cameron Smith and James Bentley. All three are back after serving suspensions.

Broadbent will start at centre which moves Tom Briscoe to the wing. Bentley replaces Morgan Gannon, Leeming comes in for Corey Johnson and Cameron Smith comes in for the suspended Matt Prior. Smith starts, meaning Zane Tetevano moves to the prop position.

It's another strong Leeds Rhinos side on a night in which they look to kickstart a season that has so far produced just one win from five games. Salford, meanwhile, have two wins under their belt but have lost their last three games.

Rhinos: Jack Walker, Tom Briscoe, Jack Broadbent, Liam Sutcliffe, Ash Handley, Blake Austin, Aidan Sezer, Mikolaj Oledzki, Kruise Leeming, Zane Tetevano, Rhyse Martin, James Bentley, Cameron Smith. Subs: Brad Dwyer, Bodene Thompson, Alex Mellor, James Donaldson.
