Surprise in Leeds' Magic squad as ankle injury victim Hall is included

Veteran winger Ryan Hall has been included in Leeds Rhinos' squad for Saturday's Magic Weekend showdown with St Helens, despite suffering an ankle injury last week.

Rhinos say a decision will be made on Hall's fitness after today's final training session, but coach Brad Arthur will have a headache if he is ruled out.

Adding more depth to the outside-backs was one of Arthur's priorities in the off-season, but the two players brought in alongside Hall-Maika Sivo and Ethan Clarke-Wood-are on the long-term casualty list.

Winger Sivo won't play this year after rupturing an anterior cruciate ligament (acl) in Ash Handley’s pre-season testimonial game in January.
