Leeds Rhinos have explained why teenage half-back Jack Sinfield’s dual-registration debut for Halifax Panthers was put on hold.
Sinfield played in Rhinos’ home win over London Broncos at the start of May and the following week’s loss at Catalans Dragons, but was dropped for last Friday’s 40-10 defeat away to St Helens. He was due to make his Betfred Championship debut for partner club Halifax instead, but missed Sunday’s game due to a “slight” hamstring niggle. The 19-year-old trained fully yesterday and is expected to be available for Rhinos’ home derby against Castleford Tigers on Saturday.
Panthers coach Liam Finn said: “Ned picked up a dead leg, he toughed it out until 77 minutes and was outstanding. “Corey played 80 minutes in the middle and put in a big shift. He was outstanding out of dummy-half and was very direct.” Finn admitted Panthers would have struggled to field a 17-man squad without Rhinos’ help. He stressed: “We are grateful to Leeds for our partnership and lending us those players.
