The players who beat Castleford Tigers two weeks ago are all in this weekend’s initial squad and two long-term casualties could return. Winger David Fusitu’a and prop Tom Holroyd have been included in the preliminary 21 for the first time since April, so Smith will have to decide whether to change a winning side. Leeds are bidding for a second victory at MKM Stadium in Betfred Super League this year and here’s how they could line up.

3. Wing: David Fusitu'a
Coach Rohan Smith likes to bring back long-term casualties off the bench, but Fusitu'a made his previous comeback in the starting lineup and the 21 suggests he'll either start or not figure - in which case Alfie Edgell could get the gig. Photo: Allan McKenzie/SWpix.com
