Australian centre Jack Bird is unavailable after undergoing a knee operation so Harry Newman returns to Leeds’ initial squad following three matches on loan with Hull FC. Winger Riley Lumb and prop Tom Nicholson-Watton are also in contention, having played for Hunslet and Castleford Tigers respectively two weeks ago. It’s a huge game for Rhinos who have an opportunity to go six points clear of Wigan on the Betfred Super League table. Here’s how they could line up.
