Galloway and Falloon in Leeds team for festive friendly

Leeds Rhinos have named a strong squad to face Wakefield in The Wetherby Whaler Festive Challenge, which kicks off at 11.30am on Boxing Day.

New Australian recruits Keith Galloway and Beau Falloon make up two thirds of the Leeds front row, along with fellow Aussie Adam Cuthbertson.

Rhinos coach Brian McDermott, fresh from guiding the USA to the World Cup in 2017, is looking forward to the game.

“Pre-season training has been going well and we are in a good position to name a strong team for Boxing Day,” he said.

“I am sure our fans will be keen to see Keith and Beau in action for the first time.”
