Rohan Smith makes four changes as part of Leeds Rhinos reshuffle for Wigan Warriors clash

Rohan Smith has made four changes to his Leeds Rhinos side to face Wigan Warriors. The Rhinos lost 22-12 to Salford Red Devils last time out and Smith has responded with some eye-catching changes, which sees popular forward Sam Walters miss out again.

Walters has instead been selected for the reserves and been replaced by Frenchman Justin Sangare, who returns to the side on the bench.

The other changes see Zane Tetevano, James Donaldson and Liam Tindall return to the matchday squad. Jack Sinfield (concussion) and James McDonnell (arm) are enforced changes, while Corey Johnson is the fourth player to drop out.

Richie Myler has been moved from fullback to the halves in the absence of Sinfield and Aidan Sezer, seeing Ash Handley moved to the back. That has resulted in Tindall starting on the wing. Donaldson is a direct bench replacement on the bench for Johnson, with Morgan Gannon and Tom Holroyd continuing from the bench.

Leeds Rhinos : Ash Handley, Nene Macdonald, Harry Newman, Rhyse Martin, Liam Tindall, Blake Austin, Richie Myler, Sam Lisone, Jarrod O'Connor, Mikolaj Oledzki, James Bentley, Zane Tetevano, Cameron Smith. Interchanges: Tom Holroyd, Justin Sangare, Morgan Gannon. James Donaldson
