Dragons

In brief

- Micky McIlorum is back from suspension as the hooker is one of two changes to the Dragons side.

- Centre Matt Ikuvalu has received the green light from the medical staff to make is set to return. He has three tries so far in Super League 2024.

- Ben Garcia and Paul Séguier are out of the squad through injury, but the Dragons outfit still retains the likes of Mike McMeeken, Julian Bousquet, Tariq Sims and Chris Satae as threats in the pack.

Rhinos

In brief

- Corey Johnson returns to the 21 man squad after impressing with the Rhinos Reserves last weekend. The hooker aims to play his first senior game since running out for Bradford back in March, although he was named as 18th man for the Rhinos clash with Hull KR back in February.

- Youngster Jack Smith also earns his first call-up to the 21-man squad as one of the recent talents to make the move from the club's Academy into the first team.

- After scoring last week, Ash Handley is within 12 points of reaching 1000 for Leeds. Since his debut a decade ago, he has 121 tries for the club and two goals.
