Kruise Leeming set to line up against England international

Kruise Leeming made his unexpected debut last week and having impressed he’s found himself named in the squad for the weekend.

Leeming appeared for Gold Coast on Saturday having only been in the country a matter of days and having admitted he wasn’t sure on all his teammates’ names.

Despite this he put in an impressive performance for Justin Holbrook’s side, helping guide them to the win and that’s now confirmed his spot in their squad for the upcoming round of fixtures.

Round Seven gets underway on Thursday morning when NRL new boys the Dolphins host Tom Burgess and the South Sydney Rabbitohs.

Another Sydney club in action are the Roosters, who play on Friday morning, and fellow England international Victor Radley is set to start again having been sin binned last week.

Both Dom Young and Jackson Hastings will face champions Penrith as they look to make it two wins on the spin.

That game precedes Leeming’s Gold Coast, who play at 10:35am on Saturday morning making for entertaining breakfast viewing against Herbie Farnworth’s Brisbane Broncos.

The Broncos lost their first game of the season last week so will be looking to bounce back on the road at Gold Coast, who will have Leeming starting from the bench.

Veterans Elliot Whitehead and Josh Hodgson both look set to start for Canberra and Parramatta respectively as well.

Josh Reynolds, formerly of Hull FC, has found himself on the bench for Canterbury against Hodgson’s Parramatta.
