Wildcats v Rhinos: Teams

On-loan Wakefield prop Kyle Amor has been given permission to play against parent club Leeds at Hearwell Stadium on Sunday.

The 23-year-old prop recently extended his stay at the Wildcats by another month and has been included in John Kear's 19-man squad to take on the Rhinos.

Fellow prop Ben Gledhill is set to replace Paul King, who on Tuesday underwent surgery to correct a foot injury.

Leeds welcome back prop forwards Kylie Leuluai and Ryan Bailey back from injury, with the latter making his first appearance in the squad since being fined for making inappropriate comments.

However, second rower Ali Lauitiiti has been lost to a calf strain and only one specialist winger is included after Zak Hardaker suffered a broken finger.

Tough

Rhinos head coach Brian McDermott knows his side face a tough task against Wakefield after losing three of their last four matches.

"I think John Kear has done an outstanding job there this season after all the troubles they had in pre-season," he told the Rhinos' official website.

"I saw their recent win at Hull and, although Richard Agar said after the game he was disappointed in his side's performance, I thought Wakefield were good value for their win.

"They have got a great spirit and you know that any team coached by John Kear is always going to give you a hard day at the office.

"We have not had the best record at Belle Vue in recent seasons having lost their last season and snatched victory at the death the year before.

"That shows how much this game means to the Wakefield people and we need to make sure we match that passion on Sunday afternoon."

Wakefield squad: Murphy, George, Jeffries, Korkidas, Rinaldi, Henderson, Morrison, Lee, P. Johnson, Dean, Gledhill, Mariano, Howarth, Veivers, Wildie, Griffin, G. Johnson, Amor, Annakin.

Leeds squad: Webb, Senior, Hall, Burrow, Leuluai, Buderus, Jones-Buchanan, Ablett, Sinfield, Cross, Bailey, Kirke, Burgess, Watkins, Hauraki, Clarkson, Pitts, McShane, Singleton.
