Sivo and McDonnell named in Rhinos 21 man squad

Leeds Rhinos Head Coach Brad Arthur has named his 21 man squad to face Wigan Warriors at AMT Headingley this Saturday, kick off 8pm.

A capacity crowd will be at AMT Headingley to see the top two in the Betfred Super League go head to head for the League Leaders Shield. It will be the first time the stadium has sold out for a Super League game since Round One of the 2020 season which was a double header between Toronto and Castleford before Leeds v Hull FC.  

Leeds welcome back leading try scorer Maika Sivo to the 21 man squad after recovering from a broken arm whilst forward James McDonnell could face his former side after being included following a pectoral injury.  

Danny Levi will not feature after suffering a set back on his return last week at St Helens. The Rhinos are still without Keenan Palasia (foot), Max Simpson (knee), Ben Littlewood (hamstring) and George Brown (knee).
