Newman NOT in the Fev 19 for Sunday which presumably confirms he'll play for Leeds tonight. Cam Smith is in the Fev 19 so might be one of the two to drop out.

Nice to see if Newman does get a run out- many on here seem to think he isn't ready for SL rugby at the moment but good to see we're not going with 101 positional changes to get someone in at centre. Disappointed if Smith does miss out though. Half expected considering the return of Ablett I suppose.

Sutcliffe will definitely play as they've been on social media saying it will be his 150th professional game. If Newman is is in I'd go for...

Walker
Briscoe
Newman
Hurrell
Handley
Tui
Myler
Cuthbertson
Dwyer
Peteru
Ferres
Sutcliffe
Merrin

Parcell
Oledski
Singleton
Donaldson/Ablett

Does Newman normally play left or right centre? Hurrell was a right centre in NRL I think. We should play Newman on his favoured side to make his transition as easy as possible.

I'm worried about this one. I'm usually hopeful for a result/performance but it's starting to feel a bit like 2018 again. Still a long way to go, but a result tonight would make the game against London look a lot less like a potential relegation showdown.

Yes that's probably a good call

Harry is left and should be played there.

Sutcliffe named at centre (as I guessed) but Newman on the bench.

Merrin at loose-forward.

No Dwyer - didn't see that coming.

Starting props a bit green in Peteru and Oledski?

Ferres named at captain despite his partner giving birth the other day

(all from Leeds Rhinos twitter)

Late change - Ablett injured in warm-up!

Dwyer in, Sutcliffe back to second row and Newman to centre.

Great start.

Scores one and sets one up, good work Harry

so mentally fragile this Leeds side

Awful collapse again

If Furner was the attack coach at Souths, is there any chance we can get the defence coach to come and join him.

Relegation battle anyone. Well Mr furner you have one hell of a job to do. And get a b##ody god prop forward signed sharpish

LOL
