Leeds Rhinos predicted starting 13 & bench v Huddersfield Giants

Leeds Rhinos will be without one of their pack leaders for the Good Friday home clash with Huddersfield Giants - but coach Brad Arthur has options to replace him.

Prop Mikolaj Oledzki is unavailable because of a one-match ban, so Keenan Palasia could switch to prop, with James Bentley moving to loose-forward and Morgan Gannon stepping up into the starting side. Or, Tom Holroyd may start for the first time this year in the front-row.

Arthur has confirmed former captain Kallum Watkins will make his first appearance for Leeds since 2019 off the bench and Alfie Edgell, Tom Nicholson-Watton, Jack Smith and Presley Cassell are vying for a call into the 17. Here’s how the YEP thinks Rhinos will line up.
