Under Betfred Super League rules, Agar had to confirm a squad for the next game just 14 hours after the final whistle in Rhinos' 28-24 win over Castleford Tigers.

He will select for Rhinos' third game in seven days from the 17 players on duty against Castleford, plus Jack Walker, Luke Briscoe, Alex Sutcliffe and Tom Holroyd.
