Prop Mikolaj Oledzki is back in coach Brad Arthur’s initial squad for the visit of Hull FC, after missing four games with a rib injury. If he gets the all-clear, the number eight is likely to feature in the 17 and, following a poor team performance at London Broncos, Arthur could be considering other changes.
Apart from Oledzki, the players vying for a call-up to the matchday side have limited first team appearances under their belt and the coach will have to decide between sticking with experience and giving youth a chance in a game Leeds must win to keep their play-off hopes alive. Here’s how Rhinos could line up.

6. Wing: Riley Lumb
Alfie Edgell has been doing a solid job on the left-wing and will be favourite to continue, but it may be an opportunity for Brad Arthur to have a look at Lumb, who scored two tries on debut at Hull in April. Photo: Alex Whitehead/SWpix.com
