Smith will have to change a winning lineup after two players were injured during last week’s defeat of Warrington Wolves and another is away on paternity leave.
Stand-off is the most pressing issue, but there will also be a change in the second-row and potentially at centre and on the bench.
One senior player is back in contention following injury and a couple more are vying for a recall, alongside several rookies.
Here’s how Rhinos could line up.

9. Hooker: Jarrod O’Connor

10. Prop: Mikolaj Oledzki
Has featured in 17 successive games since returning from a shoulder injury in March, all but two as a starting front-rower. Photo: Ed Sykes/SWpix.com
11. Second-row: James Bentley
Has been in good form and scored an important try last week. Photo: John Clifton/SWpix.com
12. Second-row: Rhyse Martin
Has played mainly at centre this year, but with James McDonnell missing because of a back problem and Harry Newman now fit and available, a switch to his squad number position in the second-row seems logical. Photo: Allan McKenzie/SWpix.com
