00:00Leeds Rhinos centre Harry Newman is set for a brief spell away from Headingley Stadium.
00:07The move comes as Leeds continue to manage towards selection and form.
00:13Leeds have allowed Newman to join Hull FC on a short-term loan,
00:18offering the chance for the England international to get some playing time.
00:24Newman's missed out on the Rhinos' last two fixtures against Warrington Wolves and Bradford Bulls.
00:30His most recent appearance actually came against Hull FC for Leeds Rhinos,
00:36making the switch a timely return to a familiar ground.
00:42The decision follows increased competition in the Leeds back line,
00:46with new signing Jack Bird preferred in recent matches.
00:51The loan is seen as an opportunity for Newman to maintain match sharpness,
00:57while remaining part of the Leeds' broader plans for the season.
01:03Hull FC moved quickly after identifying Newman as a replacement for Arthur Romano,
01:10who suffered a serious ankle injury that is expected to keep him sidelined for several weeks.
01:17The deal is initially set for just one week,
01:20and was made possible after Hull were granted salary cap dispension,
01:25following a long-term injury within their squad.
