Big decisions made on Kruise Leeming and John Bateman

The NRL team news is in.

There are some big calls again this week as coaches make big decisions on English and former Super League stars.

Former Leeds Rhinos star Kruise Leeming at Gold Coast Titans has seemingly cemented his place in the side after being dropped lately. He will start on the bench this week.

This could help settle his future.

Ex-Wigan Warriors John Bateman at Wests Tigers has recovered from injury to return for Tim Sheens men as the former Hull KR boss looks to build some momentum.

Josh Hodgson will take on former side Canberra Raiders and England teammate Elliot Whitehead.

Elsewhere, Super League target Kyle Flanagan continues to be left out of Canterbury Bulldogs’ 17 with ex-Hull FC halfback Josh Reynolds again set to start.

Like Flanagan, Leeds born halfback Sam Walker, son of former Rhino Ben Walker, has again been left out.
