Leeds Rhinos have suffered a major injury blow ahead of Friday’s crucial game at table-topping Wigan Warriors.

Rhinos will go into their penultimate Betfred Super League fixture without in-form full-back Lachie Miller. He suffered a hamstring strain in last week’s 68-6 hammering of Hull FC and could be out for a couple of weeks, potentially bringing his season to an end.

Miller is replaced by forward Mickael Goudemand in the only change to the 21 named before last week’s win. Check the YEP’s website later for a prediction of how Rhinos could lineup without Miller, who has missed just one game this season.
