Leeds Rhinos Women's Head Coach Lois Forsell welcomes back trio Caitlin Beevers, Keara Bennett and Lacey Owen among five squad changes ahead of this Sunday's clash with Huddersfield Giants at Laund Hill, KO 2pm.

After last weekend's game against Warrington was forfeited by the Wolves, the Rhinos return to action this week knowing that their spot in the top four is confirmed, as this Sunday's opponents, Huddersfield, mathematically can't catch Leeds with two games remaining. 

Captain Beevers makes her return to action after suffering a PCL injury against Barrow Raiders over twelve months ago to earn a spot back in the 21-player squad, plus England international Lacey Owen, who has been sidelined since making her club debut in the Challenge Cup against Sheffield, is in line to make her Betfred Women's Super League debut for the club. Bennett also returns to the squad having not featured since the 48-12 home win over Leigh Leopards, whilst Connie Boyd and Jess Sharp are back in contention after missing the away win over the Leopards at the end of August.

A number of Rhinos are approaching significant points scoring milestones coming into this weekend. Olivia Whitehead and Ruby Walker have the opportunity to hit 100 career points as the duo are both ten points away from hitting the century mark. Electric full back Ebony Stead is also close to 100 points in the Super League competition for the Rhinos as she needs 16 points, whilst long-serving outside back Sophie Nuttall is 12 points away from accumulating 100 Super League points in blue and amber.
