With Ash Handley sidelined by an ankle injury suffered last week, Smith will be forced into a change at centre.
Harry Newman, Leeds’ number three, returned from a long-term layoff as a substitute in the win over Wakefield Trinity last Friday, but Rhinos are keen for him to gradually build up his game time.
Three-quarter Luis Roberts is included in Leeds’ initial 21-man squad and Rhyse Martin, who switched from the second-row to centre when Handley went off, is another option.
Smith has made two changes to his initial squad, with Handley and Leon Ruan – who didn’t play last week – dropping out for Justin Sangare and Kruise Leeming.
The coach will also have to decide whether to recall Leeming, who is an integral member of the side, or give his foot injury extra time to fully recover, particularly with a long turnaround to next week’s visit of Catalans Dragons. Here’s how Rhinos could line up.
