Hankinson and Gannon come in for Rhinos

Leeds Rhinos Head Coach Brad Arthur has made two changes to his 21 man squad for this Thursday's trip to Leigh Leopards, kick off 8pm.  

Winger Alfie Edgell has been ruled out due to the foot injury he suffered at Wakefield Trinity last time out whilst teenager George Brown drops out this week. Morgan Gannon is set to play his first game since June having recovered from an ankle injury. New signing Chris Hankinson, who joined the Rhinos this week from Salford, comes in to replace Edgell. 

The Rhinos are without props Mikolaj Oledzki (cheekbone) and Tom Holroyd (scaphoid) who are both recovering from surgery with Maiko Sivo is also on the long term injured list. Tom Nicholson-Watton is also making progress from a foot injury.
