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.

14. Sub: Jarrod O'Connor
At this stage the bench is anyone's guess, but it'll be a surprise if O'Connor isn't in the 17. Photo: Leeds Rhinos

16. Sub: Justin Sangare

17. Sub: James Bentley
If everyone's fit, some good players will miss out. At his best, Bentley is in the top-13, but he might need to earn back his spot after missing the end of last term through injury. Photo: Olly Hassell/SWpix.com
