Melbourne Storm's Greg Inglis is fit to face Leeds in world challenge

Leeds will face the world's best player in next Sunday's World Club Challenge after the Melbourne Storm centre Greg Inglis proved his recovery from a hip injury in a 34-10 warm-up victory against Harlequins at The Stoop. Inglis, who had not played since being awarded the Gillette Golden Boot shortly after Australia's victory over England in the Four Nations final last November, suffered no reaction before being withdrawn at half-time to ensure his fitness to face the Rhinos at Elland Road. Melbourne's coach, Craig Bellamy, also expects the New Zealand prop Jeff Lima to be available, even though he was ruled out at The Stoop with a toe injury, and suggested that Gareth Widdop, a 20-year-old full-back from Halifax, could earn a place on the bench against Leeds after showing his versatility by switching to stand-off, and kicking five goals from six attempts. The Rhinos have major injury doubts over their Australian three-quarters Brett Delaney and Scott Donald and are definitely without Carl Ablett.
