Harry Newman could make his return for Leeds Rhinos this weekend. The centre is set to hand Rohan Smith a major boost ahead of Friday night's Super League play-off tie against Catalans Dragons after being named in Rohan Smith's 21-man squad for the game.
Newman has not featured since suffering a hamstring injury against Hull Kingston Rovers last month. However, he could now be back in time for the biggest game of the Rhinos' season - but Newman's return has been offset by two major setbacks for Smith.
Leeds will be without forward Rhyse Martin, who was handed a one-match ban by the Rugby Football League's disciplinary panel on Monday, which was ultimately increased by another match after a frivolous appeal. And that news has been compounded by an injury to Ash Handley, who suffered a foot injury last week against Castleford.
