Rhinos unchanged to Rovers clash

Leeds Rhinos Head Coach Brad Arthur has named an unchanged 21 man squad to travel to Hull KR this Sunday, kick off 3pm.

In his pre-match press conference, Arthur confirmed that second row James Bentley will return to the matchday 17 having missed out last week as he recovered from illness. Riley Lumb, Andy Ackers and Presley Cassell, who were the other three players who missed out last week are once again included in the 21 man squad. The Rhinos Reserves will play Hull KR on Sunday as well, kicking off at 5.30pm after the Super League clash. 

Leeds are looking for their first win over Hull KR since August 2022 when two tries each from Richie Myler and Morgan Gannon and one from Brad Dwyer gave the Rhinos a 28-20 win. 

Rhinos forward James McDonnell will make his 100th career appearance. The Wigan-born star was this week named in Shaun Wane's England training squad for the Ashes. He has made 68 appearanes for Leeds since moving to AMT Headingley in 2023 in addition to six games for Wigan, 17 for Leigh and 7 for York, both on loan and a sole appearance for Ireland at the World Cup in 2022.
