Richard Agar discusses his Leeds Rhinos selection plans for round one

Richard Agar insists he still has some selection decisions to make ahead of Leeds Rhinos' Super League opener with Warrington Wolves.

The Rhinos boss has a near fully-fit squad to work with heading into their first game of the season a week on Saturday.

Tom Holroyd is the only definite absentee, though a hamstring injury sustained by Harry Newman could prevent him from playing in the competition's first ever free-to-air game on Channel 4.

After some eye-catching performances in off-season, Agar has been left with some selection dilemmas, though for all the right reasons, rather than the wrong ones that plagued the start of the Rhinos' 2021 campaign.

"Not quite, but nearly," Agar said when asked if he knew his team.

"We've got one or two little questions marks.

"I guess in my head I certainly know what our 21 is going to be and I probably know what our 19 will be, we've just one or two little calls to make in and around a couple of positions.

"But I'm happy with where we're at, I think it's silly really to compare where we were to last season. We've got a deep squad, a fit and healthy squad, our kids have a year of terrific experiences under their belt and I think our senior player pool is increasing year by year and we've got a really strong contingent of what we'd call senior players."
