Veteran winger Ryan Hall is available to return following a foot injury when Rhinos play host to Leigh Leopards on Thursday. He will rejoin the side in a straight swap for Alfie Edgell who suffered a season-ending quad muscle problem in last week’s win at Wakefield Trinity.
Ned McCormack, who is available from concussion, has returned to Rhinos’ 21-man squad in the only change. Full-back Fergus McCormack, winger Riley Lumb and forward Tom Nicholson-Watton retain their spot after not featuring against Wakefield. Here’s how Rhinos could line up.
