Young Leeds Rhinos stars given chance to impress as Rohan Smith drops regulars for Salford Red Devils clash

Rohan Smith has made a number of changes to the Leeds Rhinos squad to face Salford Red Devils, with Jack Sinfield given a chance to impress in the halves. The young playmaker, son of club icon Kevin, will replace Aidan Sezer after the Australia suffered a quad injury in the defeat to Leigh Leopards last time out.

But it's the changes in the pack that are most notable. Zane Tetevano and Justin Sangare have dropped out despite being regulars throughout the season. It means that Sam Walters is given a chance to prove he's worthy of more regular game time while Morgan Gannon makes an expected return on the bench after over two months out through a concussion. One other change has seen Liam Tindall drop out and replaced by hooker Corey Johnson, who plays from the bench.

Leeds changes - IN: Jack Sinfield, Corey Johnson, Morgan Gannon, Sam Walters

OUT: Aidan Sezer, Liam Tindall, Zane Tetevano, Justin Sangare

Supporters will be pleased to see Walters feature, with the towering forward impressing during his appearances this year but finding himself on the sidelines more often than not. Walters is off-contract at the season and has decided to enter the open market.

Sam Lisone continues in his starting role, with Tom Holroyd continuing from the bench.

Leeds Rhinos: Richie Myler, Nene Macdonald, Harry Newman, Rhyse Martin, Ash Handley, Blake Austin, Jack Sinfield, Mikolaj Oledzki, Jarrod O'Connor, Sam Lisone, James Bentley, James McDonnell, Cameron Smith. Bench: Tom Holroyd, Corey Johnson, Morgan Gannon, Sam Walters.
