Match Pack: Round Five

A huge game in the Betfred Super League sees Leeds Rhinos host St Helens as both sides look to maintain their positive starts to the season at AMT Headingley Stadium, kick off 8pm.

Ahead of the teams taking to the field, here is your snapshot preview of everything you need to know about tonight's teams:


21-man squad recap

Rhinos

In brief

- Rohan Smith has been able to reintroduce James Bentley and James Donaldson into his 21-man squad this week after the pair served bans from rounds two and three.

- Paul Momirovski is the only absentee from the side that defeated Leigh last Friday as the centre is ruled out with a minor injury.

- Young outside back Ned McCormack is drafted into the 21-man squad for the second time this season, after the winger scored in the win over Hull KR during pre-season. 

- It is set to be a special night for Rhinos captain Cameron Smith, who is set to make his 150th career appearance against Saints.

- The Rhinos remain without Sam Lisone (suspension), David Fusitu'a (knee) and Morgan Gannon (concussion protocol).



Saints

In brief

- Three changes for the Saints, after their defeat to Salford, sees Matty Lees and Joe Batchelor named after injuries and Konrad Hurrell returns following a one match suspension.

- Curtis Sironen and Noah Stephens are out, along with Mark Percival who is banned.

- Tonight sees Saints go for their sixth consecutive away win over the Rhinos, having won every meeting at AMT Headingley since 2018.

- Four Saints players could hit major milestones for their career and in the Super League competition tonight. Jonny Lomax and Alex Walmsley need one appearance to hit 300 and 250 Super League games, whilst Batchelor is one game away from 150 career appearances.

- Former Rhino Hurrell is a try away from 100 career tries too.
