Centre/winger Nene Macdonald has been named in Rhinos’ 21-man squad after missing last Friday’s 54-0 hammering of Huddersfield Giants through concussion.

Tom Holroyd is also included following three games on the sidelines with a calf muscle injury. Fellow prop Justin Sangare drops out after injuring a leg last week.
