Leeds Rhinos without key man for Warrington Wolves test

Leeds Rhinos go into tonight’s game against Warrington Wolves without in-form hooker Kruise Leeming after he was ruled out with an ankle issue.

The England hopeful has played a key role in Leeds’ revival and his absence is a blow to the Rhinos’ hopes of making it seven wins in nine Super League games.

Brad Dwyer takes his place in the starting line-up after a starring role off the bench in Thursday’s win at Hull FC.

Liam Sutcliffe is back after missing that game with a concussion, taking Callum McLelland’s place in the halves.

James Donaldson starts in the second row after Alex Mellor suffered a season-ending knee injury, with Tom Holroyd, Bodene Thompson and Luke Briscoe three fresh options off the bench.

King Vuniyayawa is the other player to drop out of the side that beat Hull.

Jarrod O'Connor and Morgan Gannon miss out from the original 21-man squad.

Leeds: Richie Myler, Tom Briscoe, Konrad Hurrell, Harry Newman, Ash Handley, Liam Sutcliffe, Luke Gale, Mikolaj Oledzki, Brad Dwyer, Matt Prior, James Donaldson, Rhyse Martin, Zane Tetevano.

Bench: Luke Briscoe, Cameron Smith, Tom Holroyd, Bodene Thompson.

Warrington: Stefan Ratchford, Tom Lineham, Jake Mamo, Toby King, Josh Charnley, Blake Austin, George Williams, Chris Hill, Daryl Clark, Mike Cooper, Ben Currie, Jack Hughes, Matt Davis.

Bench: Robbie Mulhern, Sitaleki Akauola, Danny Walker, Ellis Longstaff.
