Rhinos have nobody returning from injury and veteran winger Ryan Hall, who made his debut at the inaugural Magic Weekend in 2007, is a doubt after damaging an ankle during last week’s loss to Hull KR. If he misses out, coach Brad Arthur could move Ash Handley to a wing, with Kallum Watkins starting at centre – but there are other options. Here’s how Rhinos could line up at Newcastle’s St James’ Park.
13. Second-row: Morgan Gannon
Has started the last two and likely to continue. Photo: David Harrison
14. Loose-forward: Keenan Palasia
A decision will have to be made when Cameron Smith’s fit, but that’s at least two weeks away. Photo: David Harrison
15. Sub: Sam Lisone
Earning his palace, the last three games have been some of his best for Rhinos. Photo: David Harrison
16. Sub: Tom Holroyd
Has been making a reral impact when he comes off the bench. Photo: David Harrison
17. Sub: James Bentley
Would no doubt like to start, but has been doing a strong job off the bench. Photo: David Harrison
18. Sub: Kallum Watkins
Ideally will play in the pack, but also provides cover for the outside-backs. Photo: David Harrison
