Preview
Leeds Rhinos will field England captain Jamie Peacock and full-back Brent Webb after resting both for last week’s opening win at Crusaders RL. Utility forward Ian Kirke is the man to make way, while World Cup winner Greg Eastwood will make his home debut.
Castleford Tigers coach Terry Matterson has drafted in 19-year-old forward John Davies for what would be his Engage Super League debut after losing the experienced Ryan Clayton with an arm injury in training. Former Huddersfield Giants and Wakefield Wildcats second-rower Steve Snitch will make his first league appearance for the Tigers.
