Tigers could welcome back scrum-half Jacob Miller following a foot problem, but six first team players remain on the casualty list and coach Craig Lingard says several of the 21-man squad named for this weekend’s game are in serious doubt. Centre Paul Momirovski has recovered from ankle damage and will return for Rhinos, but nine of their full-time group are still unavailable. Here’s who is definitely ruled out and when they could be back.
