Rhinos’ Harry Newman is set to return from a one-game layoff and long-term casualties James Bentley and James Donaldson have both been named in the 21-man squad. Leeds, though, will be without two players from last week’s defeat at Warrington Wolves.
Sam Luckley is back in contention for the visitors following a failed head injury assessment, but they have lost one of their most in-form players. Here’s who is definitely ruled out and when they could be back.
