Winger David Fusitu’a - who has played in Rhinos’ last five matches since returning from a long-term knee problem - is ruled out because of injury, so teenage forward Ben Littlewood returns to the initial squad. Second-row James McDonnell is included despite suffering a foot injury in the first half of last Saturday’s defeat by Hull KR.
Prop Sam Eseh’s loan from Wigan Warriors has been extended and he is set for a fourth successive appearance. Second-rower James Bentley, half-back Jack Sinfield, three-quarter Luis Roberts and prop Tom Nicholson-Watton continue in the initial squad after not being selected last week.
