Leeds name strong side for Boxing Day clash

New signings Richie Myler, Nathaniel Peteru and Brad Dwyer are in a strong Leeds squad for the Boxing Day friendly against Wakefield.

Six members of their Grand Final winning team are also included in Brian McDermott’s 19-man squad.

It is the first time since 1994 that Leeds have played a Boxing Day fixture away from Headingley.

This year they will play at Belle Vue (11.30am kick-off) owing to the ongoing construction work at their home ground.

Leeds 19-man squad v Wakefield: Golding, Briscoe, Keinhorst, Sutcliffe, Handley, Myler, Lilley, Peteru, Dwyer, Singleton, Ablett, Walters, Mullally, Walker, Smith, Ormondroyd, Oledzki, Jordan-Roberts, Newman.
