LEEDS RHINOS will be without Alfie Edgell for the remainder of the season after the winger tore his quad in the thrilling win over Wakefield Trinity.
Veteran Ryan Hall is set to take his place in the line-up for Thursday’s visit of Leigh Leopards after four weeks out with a hamstring injury.
Fellow outside back Ned McCormack is available again this week having completed the return-to-play protocol following a head injury in the recent win over Toulouse Olympique.
Leopards head coach Adrian Lam has made just one change to the squad that overcame York Knights last Friday.
AJ Towse has recovered from a hamstring injury to take Will Brough’s place in Leigh’s 21-man squad.
