Leeds Rhinos v Wigan Warriors: Cuthbertson in contention after two-month absence


Cuthbertson is in full training after recovering from the broken hand he suffered during the World Club Challenge defeat at Melbourne Storm on February 16.
Fellow prop Anthony Mullally could also return.
He suffered concussion in the Good Friday draw at Huddersfield Giants and was unavailable for the win over Salford Red Devils on Easter Monday.

Mullally was cleared to play against Wakefield Trinity last Sunday, but was not selected.
Joel Moon missed the victory over Wakefield due to illness, but is set to replace Liam Sutcliffe at stand-off in tomorrow’s side.
Sutcliffe returned from a foot injury, but suffered a similar problem during the game. Brett Delaney is back in contention after missing one game due to a hamstring issue, but Brett Ferres drops out.
Full-back Jack Walker (ankle) and props Mitch Garbutt (knee) and Nathaniel Peteru (biceps) remain on the injury list.
