Hankinson returns for Rhinos

Leeds Rhinos Head Coach Brad Arthur has named his 21-man squad to face Toulouse Olympique at AMT Headingley this Friday, kick off 8pm.

With Maika Sivo and Ben Littlewood during the Rhinos injury list in last week's win over Bradford Bulls, Arthur is pleased to be able to recall Chris Hankinson after he completed his Return to Play protocol following concussion at Castleford two weeks ago. Hankinson returns to face his former club having spent 2022 season at Toulouse.

Jeremiah Mata'utia is also included in the squad. As well as Sivo and Littlewood, the Rhinos are without Danny Levi (concussion), Ryan Hall (foot), Ash Handley (Appendicitis), Keenan Palasia (foot), Max Simpson (knee) and George Brown (knee) on the sidelines.

Kallum Watkins will play his 350th Super League appearance this Friday. In his two spells with Leeds, he has now played 263 games for Leeds and 86 for Salford between 2020 and 2025.

Jarrod O'Connor will make his 150th career with 145 for the Rhinos, two for Bradford Bulls on loan in 2022 and 2 with Featherstone Rovers on dual registration in 2020.
