Kruise Leeming can’t wait to face Widnes Vikings this weekend.

The 20-year-old will again be sharing the hooking duties with top former Australian NRL performer Ryan Hinchcliffe in Sunday’s John Smith’s Stadium Super League XXI clash.

The former Siddal junior knows he’s been handed a golden opportunity to secure a regular top-flight spot following the retirement of fellow No9 Luke Robinson with a long-standing hip problem.

And, as he explains here, he intends to take full advantage.
