Three of the side which faced St Helens last week - centre Harry Newman, scrum-half Aidan Sezer and stand-off Morgan Gannon - picked up long-term injuries, forward Zane Tetevano is ill and winger David Fusitu’a and prop Sam Lisone remain on the casualty list.
Much will depend on whether stand-off Blake Austin and second-row James Bentley are fit enough to return after two weeks out of the team.
The side looks a lot more experienced with them in it. If they, or anyone else, don’t make it, at least two of Luis Roberts, Luke Hooley, Leon Ruan and Alfie Edgell - with a total of six Betfred Super League appearances between them, five of those by Roberts - will get a shot.
Assuming everyone in the 17 is fit, probably only five of the 13 starting positions are set in stone. Here’s how Rhinos could line up.

14. Loose-forward: Jarrod O'Connor
Not the only option, but could step up off the bench to replace the injured Cameron Smith, as he did in last week’s game. Photo: Allan McKenzie/SWpix.com
15. Sub: Sam Lisone
Didn’t get much gametime last week, but should retain his spot. Photo: Allan McKenzie/SWpix.com
16. Sub: Morgan Gannon
Was a replacement half last week and could start there, but might cover that and loose-forward from the bench. Photo: Allan McKenzie/SWpix.com

18. Sub: Ethan Clark-Wood
Depending on who’s available, the recent signing could get a debut if Leeds go with an outside-back on the bench. Photo: Matthew Merrick/Leeds Rhinos
