How new-look Leeds Rhinos could line up in Super League round one
Seven senior players have been brought in from other clubs and Rhinos are also expected to promote several academy youngsters into the full-time group when their 2024 squad numbers are announced this week.
A lot could happen between now and the start of the season, which is likely to be in early-February, but here’s how Rhinos could line up in round one.
1. Full-back: Lachie Miller

2. Wing: David Fusitu'a

3. Centre: Harry Newman
Played well for England and, if he gets through pre-season unscathed, will want to carry that form into the new season. Photo: Leeds Rhinos
4. Centre: Paul Momirovski

5. Wing: Ash Handley
Foot and wrist injuries kept him out of this autumn's Test series, but he's hoping to be fully fit for the start of the 2024 campaign. Photo: Leeds Rhinos
