Leeds Rhinos: Predicted team to face Wakefield Trinity

Leeds Rhinos coach Rohan Smith says he doesn't plan major changes to his 17 for Friday's derby against Wakefield Trinity, but there could be some positional switches.

All 17 players on duty in last weekend's defeat at Salford Red Devils remain in contention and Liam Sutcliffe, Tom Holroyd, Morgan Gannon and Jack Sinfield are also included in Smith's initial 21-man squad.

Smith says Holroyd, who returned from a pre-season ankle injury in a reserves game last weekend, will continue his comeback on dual-registration with Bradford Bulls.

Smith could potentially shuffle his side at full-back, centre, in the halves and hooker. Here's how Rhinos might line up.
