told BBC Radio Leeds.<\/a><\/p>\n“He wont be available this week and it’s a week-to-week proposition.”<\/p>\n
Arthur added: “Every time you get an injury it’s a blow but like I keep saying I like these situations, some of the best decisions I’ve made as a coach have been ones I’ve been forced into.”<\/p>\n
Centre Jack Bird has also been ruled out of the game against the Wire with a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n
With Handley and Miller, who is one of the three nominees for this year’s Steve Prescott Man of Steel award, both out it means that 20-year-old Fergie McCormack will make just his fourth career start on Friday.<\/p>\n
“I’m looking forward to young Fergus playing at full-back,” Arthur said.<\/p>\n
“He’s trained really well since last Monday. We’ve had four sessions and he looks a lot more comfortable and at ease from his three games he had with us.<\/p>\n
“He looks a lot more like he has the belief that he belongs, so we’re backing him and we’re really happy that he gets a chance.”<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, second-rower Chris Hankinson has extended his deal through to the end of the 2028 season.<\/p>\n
The 32-year-old has scored 14 tries in 34 appearances since joining from Salford in August last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Leeds Rhinos captain Ash Handley has been ruled out of their play-off semi-final against Warrington on Friday with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":780163,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[5903,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-780162","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-rugby","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/780162","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=780162"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/780162\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/780163"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=780162"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=780162"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=780162"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
