Briscoe, 30, is set to make his comeback from exactly a year out with an anterior cruciate ligament injury when Rhinos restart their Betfred Super League campaign against Huddersfield Giants on Sunday, August 2.

Centre Broadbent, 19, has featured on loan at Batley Bulldogs and dual registration with Featherstone Rovers, but not yet made a first team appearance for Leeds.

Forward Cuthbertson is the oldest member of Rhinos’ squad, at 35, but was a substitute in all five games before the Covid-19 shutdown.
