James Bentley and Harry Newman are closing in on their returns to the Leeds Rhinos side - with Rohan Smith admitting it is possible, though not certain, the duo could feature as early as next week's clash versus reigning champions St Helens.
Smith admitted Bentley and Newman's recoveries from respective knee and hamstring problems were progressing well, saying that the pair were a 'possibility, rather than a probability' to feature against Paul Wellens' side next weekend. Smith said the pair were 'progressing well' alongside prop Mikolaj Oledzki - but the England international is further behind Bentley and Newman in his own recuperation from a shoulder injury.
When asked how soon Bentley and Newman could return, he said: "Hopefully in the next couple of weeks. Both their injuries are a bit of out the ordinary so it's a little hard to tell. We'll make sure they do full team training when they're back. They've not done a lot of that to this point."
