Jack Walker provides Leeds Rhinos with timely selection boost before Hull FC trip

Rohan Smith has made three changes to the Leeds Rhinos squad to take on Hull FC this weekend. Jack Walker returns to the fold after more than two months on the sidelines with a hamstring injury.

The fullback suffered the injury in the draw with Huddersfield Giants but has been cleared to return when the Rhinos visit the MKM Stadium this Saturday. He is joined in the squad by Morgan Gannon, who has recently been dealing with concussion issues, and young halfback Jack Sinfield.

They replace the three players suspended after the game with St Helens. Harry Newman, Zane Tetevano and Bodene Thompson all begin their respective bans after disciplinary issues in last week's loss.

It's a big game for the Rhinos, who are five points adrift of the top six with just eleven games of the season remaining. The Black and Whites are currently fifth but have lost their last three games. They remain without Jake Connor, who FC have yet to win a Super League game without this season. They have only managed to score eight points in their last two games and were nilled by Warrington Wolves last week.
