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.

8. Prop: Mikolaj Oledzki
Ended the 2023 season with a shoulder injury, but should be okay for the new campaign and is first-choice when fit. Photo: Leeds Rhinos
9. Hooker: Andy Ackers
It's tough on Jarrod O'Connor, who is ever-present in Leeds' starting side since round three last year, but Rhinos paid Salford a big fee for Ackers and he will be the first-choice nine. Photo: Matthew Merrick/Leeds Rhinos
10. Prop: Tom Holroyd
Had a knee problem at the end of last season, but went well as a starting prop when available and could get first dibs. Photo: Leeds Rhinos
11. Second-row: James McDonnell
Here's where it gets tricky. Rhinos aren't short of options, but James McDonnell is the man in possession after making the spot his own last term. Photo: Allan McKenzie/SWpix.com
12. Second-row: Rhyse Martin
Was mainly a centre, out of necessity, in 2023, but with that problem solved he's likely to revert back to his previous position. Photo: Leeds Rhinos
