How they could line up: Leeds Rhinos predicted starting 13 and bench v Bradford Bulls at Magic Weekend

Leeds Rhinos coach Brad Arthur has close to a full-strength squad to choose from ahead of Magic Weekend.

Of Leeds’ top 17 squad numbers only hamstring victim Ethan O’Neill, who has spent much of the season on loan at Hull FC, is unavailable for Sunday’s meeting with Bradford Bulls in Liverpool, handing Arthur some - welcome - selection headaches. His biggest dilemma is how to give centre Jack Bird game time. Bird played six successive games early in the campaign, but Harry Newman’s form has kept him out of the side since recovering from knee surgery.

Bird is included in an unchanged squad following last week’s 34-8 win against Hull KR. Riley Lumb, Tom Nicholson-Watton and Presley Cassell are the others vying for a call into the 17. Here’s how Rhinos could line up.
