Leeds Rhinos can’t afford another defeat when they play host to Warrington Wolves on Sunday.

With Justin Sangare ruled out through injury, at least one amendment will be made to Rhinos’ matchday 17, but other positive changes are likely.

Leeds have David Fusitu’a, Harry Newman and Sam Walters in contention after injury and Derrell Olpherts and Leon Ruan are also vying for a recall.

Here’s how coach Rohan Smith’s side could line up.

Now the only experienced specialist half in Rhinos' squad.
