Croft returns for Rhinos for crucial Catalans clash

Leeds Rhinos head coach Brad Arthur has named his 21-man squad to face Catalans Dragons at AMT Headingley this Friday, kick off 8pm with star half back Brodie Croft set to return to the side. 

Croft missed last week's Magic Weekend loss to Warrington as he returned to Australia on compassionate grounds following the death of his grandfather. 

The Rhinos also welcome back young winger Riley Lumb for the first time since he suffered a hamstring injury against London Broncos back at the start of May. 

Unfortunately England star Ash Handley has now been ruled out for the remainder of the 2024 season having had surgery on his injured wrist. The club have also confirmed that Tom Holroyd will miss the rest of this season as he follows a programme to return to playing following multiple concussions. 

Leeds Rhinos will celebrate two significant milestones in the club's history when they take on Catalans Dragons.

In a nod to the past, the club are also rolling back their ticket prices to what they were in 2004! Adults can enjoy the game for just £12, while Juniors* and Concessions** can attend for £6. Tickets can be bought now by heading to tickets.therhinos.co.uk or by calling the ticket office on 0371 423 1315 (Monday – Friday 10:00 – 16:00 excluding Bank Holidays). Please note these prices will end at midnight on Thursday 22nd August, matchday prices will be as per normal for the 2024 season so book now and make a massive saving. 

If that wasn't enough, fans get two matches for the price of one as the Rhinos Reserves side are in action beforehand at 5.30pm against Wakefield Trinity.
