LEEDS RHINOS will be without at least three senior players when their Betfred Super League season begins next month.

Winger Tom Briscoe was already set to miss the round-one clash with Hull on Sunday, February 2, after undergoing a knee reconstruction last year.

Now new signing Kruise Leeming and centre/second-row Alex Sutcliffe have also been ruled out.

Sutcliffe, who starred for Featherstone Rovers on dual-registration during their march to the 2019 Championship Grand Final, suffered a broken hand in the final practice of Rhinos’ warm-weather camp in Spain last week and is expected to be out of action for around six weeks.
