Winger Ryan Hall, stand-off Brodie Croft and co-captain/loose-forward Cameron Smith are all in contention for Friday’s visit of Hull FC and Rhinos came through their Magic Weekend win against St Helens two weeks ago with no fitness problems. Hall, Croft and Smith are first-choice, starting players, but Leeds have won three of their last four games and are playing well, so it will be tricky to drop anyone. Here’s how Rhinos could line up.

Has been playing well as a starting second-row and there’s no reason why he won’t continue. Photo: David Harrison
14. Loose-forward: Kallum Watkins
Started there against St Helens and may retain the spot, though his versatility off the bench is also an option. Photo: David Harrison
15. Sub: Tom Holroyd
Has been making a big impact as a replacement ‘middle’ and will be needed for more of the same. Photo: Olly Hassell/SWpix.com
16. Sub: Sam Lisone
Gone well in recent games so will probably keep his spot. Photo: Alex Whitehead/SWpix.com
17. Sub: James Bentley
Having a good season, could start, but offers cover for an edge or the middle of the field as a replacement. Photo: Olly Hassell/SWpix.com
18. Sub: Cameron Smith
In contention for the first time since February; could start if passed fit, but may be eased back off the bench. Photo: Steve Riding
