Surprise spine changes as Leeds Rhinos team named for Magic Weekend clash

Richard Agar has made a surprise re-jig of the Leeds Rhinos spine for the crucial top-six battle with Hull FC.

Jack Broadbent returns and goes to fullback, a position he took on earlier in the year. As a result, Richie Myler makes a rare appearance in the halves, partnering Rob Lui.

That means Kruise Leeming returns to hooker, his favoured position. Brad Dwyer subsequently drops to the bench and will look to make an impact on the bench.

Morgan Gannon starts in the back-row while Bodene Thompson plays loose forward, with Cameron Smith on the bench.

Hull FC have moved Jake Connor to halfback, with Jamie Shaul starting at fullback.

Rhinos: Broadbent, Handley, T Briscoe , Newman, L Briscoe, Lui, Myler, Vuniyayawa, Leeming, Prior, Gannon, Martin, Thompson. Subs: Dwyer, Donaldson, Holroyd, Smith.
