Squads named for Thursday’s Super League ties at Leeds Rhinos and Wigan Warriors

The 21-man squads have been named for Thursday’s two Super League matches, as Leeds Rhinos host Catalans Dragons and Wigan Warriors welcome Huddersfield Giants.

Leeds have made one change to their squad from the defeat at Wigan Warriors last week, as Brad Dwyer returns from suspension.

The hooker replaces Harry Newman in the squad, with the young centre continuing to struggle with the hamstring injury that has seen him yet to make an appearance in Super League this year.

David Fusitu’a (concussion), Richie Myler (groin), Tom Holroyd (ankle) and Sam Walters (shoulder) all remain out injured while Rhyse Martin is still on compassionate leave and James Bentley remains suspended.

Catalans almost make just the single change to their 21-man selection, with Mickael Goudemand missing out through concussion and Mathieu Cozza replacing him.

Goudemand’s absence is a further blow to a Dragons pack already missing the suspended Gil Dudson and Dylan Napa, plus Julian Bousquet (arm), while Arthur Mourgue (ankle) also remains out.

Wigan name an unchanged squad from the one picked ahead of their win over Leeds, with Iain Thornley (ankle) and Ethan Havard (back) remaining out and Bevan French not yet ready for selection having returned to the UK earlier this week.

Huddersfield make three changes to their side with both Will Pryce and Ashton Golding returning to the squad.

Jack Ashworth also comes in, with Olly Ashall-Bott missing out along with the suspended Theo Fages and Danny Levi, and Jake Wardle and Jack Cogger remaining on the sidelines with ankle injuries.
