Hooley and Ruan drafted into Rhinos 21 man squad

Rohan Smith has made two changes to his 21-man squad for Friday's clash with St Helens at Headingley, kick off 8pm, live on Sky Sports.

Sam Lisone and Blake Austin are both been ruled out by calf injuries which means that Luke Hooley and Leon Ruan are drafted in to the squad. Hooley has made one senior first team appearance at Hull KR earlier this season whilst Ruan is yet to make his Leeds Rhinos debut.

Ash Handley is set to return after missing last Saturday's game due to illness. The Rhinos are without James Bentley and Jack Sinfield as they follow the return to play protocol following concussion whilst Zane Tetevano will complete his two game suspension this Friday.

The game on Friday is a double header of Super League action with reigning Betfred Womens Super League champions Leeds Rhinos hosting their counterparts from St Helens, kick off 5.30pm, before the mens Super League clash.

Tickets for the game are available from the Rhinos ticket office at tickets.therhinos.co.uk and fans who buy before midnight on Thursday can save £3 on the matchday admission price.
