Leeds will be without new signing Kruise Leeming for the start of the Super League season through injury.

Leeming, 24, joined the club from Huddersfield but has suffered a knee injury in training and the club say he will miss the first two or three rounds.

The England Knights hooker is one of four new faces in Richard Agar’s squad – along with former Man of Steel Luke Gale, Leeming’s Huddersfield team-mate Alex Mellor and Australian forward Matt Prior.
