Arthur names strong squad for Handley testimonial

Brad Arthur has named a strong squad for this Sunday's Ash Handley testimonial game against Wigan Warriors at AMT Headingley, kick off 3pm. 

Handley will lead out the side and will wear the number five shirt on this occasion for his testimonial rather than his squad number for 2025, which is the number 4 shirt. Ryan Hall reverts to the number 25 shirt that he wore when he made his debut for the club back in 2007 on a one off occasion. 

The Rhinos welcome back Morgan Gannon for the first time under Brad Arthur, the former Siddal junior will start in the second row. Jake Connor retains his place at full back after an impressive showing in the Wetherby Whaler Festive Challenge on Boxing Day.
