Willie Peters has confirmed his Las Vegas 21-player squad for Saturday’s contest with Leeds Rhinos, with Dean Hadley included.
The all-conquering Robins and Brad Arthur’s Rhinos go head-to-head at Allegiant Stadium as part of rugby league‘s triple header in Sin City, with the Super League match to kick-off the action. Newcastle Knights also take on North Queensland Cowboys, and Canterbury Bulldogs against St George Illawarra Dragons.
Influential forward Hadley has made a remarkable recovery from a nasty eye socket injury to be in contention for Saturday’s fixture, set to kick-off midnight UK time. He was instrumental in the club’s recent World Club Challenge success over Brisbane Broncos, and suffered the knock in the second half at the MKM Stadium.
Meanwhile, Jack Broadbent is set for an extended period at full-back – starting this weekend in Las Vegas. He steps up in the absence of Arthur Mourgue, with the France international requiring surgery on a pectoral issue suffered against Brisbane. He is set to miss 12 weeks of action.
Karl Lawton is set to make his second appearance in Las Vegas, having been a part of the NRL’s groundbreaking first event in 2024 with Manly Sea Eagles.
Jack Brown, Noah Booth, Bill Leyland and Tom Whitehead have also been named.
