 Brett Delaney ran in tries in Leeds' first two games in Super League XV
|
Leeds Rhinos centre Brett Delaney is in Brian McClennan's 19-man squad despite missing two games with a knee injury.
But Leeds are without Delaney's fellow Aussie Scott Donald, who faces three months out due to a shoulder operation.
Leeds have 11 players who were on duty for their last meeting with Melbourne Storm, the 11-4 win in this same fixture at Elland Road back in 2008.
Melbourne are without forwards Brett White and Sika Manu, new signing Chase Stanley and scrum-half Cooper Cronk.
Storm coach Craig Bellamy has considered switching captain Cameron Smith from hooker to fill the half-back vacancy.
Smith is one of three former recipients of Australia's coveted Golden Boot, having won the award in 2007, prior to Billy Slater (2008) and Greg Inglis (2009).
Inglis, who has played just 40 minutes since the Four Nations final in November, is ready to play the full 80.
There were concerns that the Aussie centre might not be fit enough to play a full part on his return to Elland Road.
But, having suffered no reaction to his hip injury during a cameo performance in Sunday's 34-10 warm-up against Harlequins at The Stoop, Inglis has declared himself fit.
Inglis and Smith are among 11 players left over from the Storm team which won last year's Premiership, which earned them the right to contest Sunday's meeting with Leeds.
The Rhinos go into the game having suffered a far from ideal start to the season.
But McClennan's men put behind them defeats in their previous two matches by beating Salford 22-10 last Friday night.
