Ankle injury victim Cooper Jenkins has joined Mikolaj Oledzki, Tom Holroyd and Tom Nicholson-Watton on the casualty list, leaving Keenan Palasia and Sam Lisone - who is ever present but yet to start a game this year - as the only specialist front-rowers in the 21-man squad. Coach Brad Arthur has now confirmed 18-year-old back-rower Presley Cassell will start at prop in his fourth senior appearance and another rookie forward, Ben Littlewood, taking his place on the bench. With those changes confirmed, here’s how Rhinos could line up.
