Coach Rohan Smith has named only 19 players in his initial squad, rather than the usual 21 and will have to make at least three changes with winger David Fusitu’a, scrum-half Aidan Sezer and second-row Rhyse Martin all ruled out.
Blake Austin is back in contention following injury and wing Liam Tindall, half-back/hooker Corey Johnson, half-back Jack Sinfield and prop Muizz Mustapha - who spent last season on loan at Hull KR - are also vying for a call-up.
Here’s how Rhinos could line up.
