Jack Sinfield is ruled out through concussion protocols so, with Aidan Sezer still on the casualty list, Smith needs to find a half-back to play alongside Blake Austin.
Richie Myler and Morgan Gannon are two options and Smith has revealed: “We could possibly see both of those things happen in the game.”
James McDonnell’s arm injury leaves a vacancy in the second-row and, with all his props in contention, Smith has the option of rotating his pack again, after Zane Tetevano and Justin Sangare were left out of the side beaten by Salford Red Devils last week. Here’s how Rhinos could line up.

5. Wing: Derrell Olpherts
If Handley switches roles, Liam Tindall and Luis Roberts are options for the wing opening, but Olpherts' greater experience might swing it on his return from injury. Photo: Alex Whitehead/SWpix.com
6. Stand-off: Blake Austin
