Match Pack: Magic Weekend

Magic Weekend is here for another year, and it's Leeds Rhinos and Warrington Wolves who fight out the final game on Saturday night at Elland Road, kick off 7.30pm.

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


21-man squad recap

Wolves

In brief

- After victory over the Broncos last time out, Sam Burgess welcomes back a host of players to his side.

- Ben Currie, Matty Nicholson, Josh Thewlis, Luke Yates and George Williams are all available again after missing the trip south.

- Youngsters Zac Bardsley-Rowe, Cai Taylor-Wray, Tom Whitehead and Max Wood all drop out to make way for the returning quartet.

- Top try scorer Matt Dufty looks to get back amongst the try scorers, having not scored a try since the win over Wigan four games ago.


Rhinos

In brief

- Two returnees for the Rhinos sees Ash Handley and Cam Smith come back into contention for this week.

- Handley missed the win over Wigan through injury whilst Smith was suspended.

- Should Smith play, he could play his 150th Leeds Rhinos game, eight years after his debut in April 2016

- Rhyse Martin's 18 point haul against Wigan has put the back rower 22 points away from hitting 1000 points for the club too.

- The Rhinos will be without Brodie Croft who has been travelled home to Australia on compassionate grounds to attend his grandfather's funeral. He will return to Leeds next week.
