Hooker Andy Ackers is unavailable, alongside long-term casualties winger Maika Sivo and loose-forward Cameron Smith, but Leeds are otherwise at full-strength with backs Lachie Miller, Ash Handley, Ryan Hall and Jake Connor returning to the 21-man squad. It’s likely they will all start, but coach Brad Arthur has some decisions to make in the pack and on the bench. Saturday’s winners will go through the semi-finals next weekend, when they will travel to either league leaders Hull KR or runners-up Wigan Warriors. The losers’ season is over. Here’s how Rhinos could line up in their most important game since Arthur took charge 14 months ago.
