Liam Sutcliffe and Morgan Gannon look set to make their return to action for Leeds Rhinos this weekend. Both Sutcliffe and Gannon have been named in Rohan Smith's 21-man squad ahead of his first home match in charge of the Super League club, handing the Australian another boost on the selection front.
Sutcliffe has been absent for a prolonged period with a knee injury, but he will hand Smith and Leeds a major boost in the backline after being declared fit to return and be named in the Rhinos' squad to face Wakefield Trinity. Young forward Gannon has completed his suspension and is also available.
Meanwhile, prop Tom Holroyd could also make his first appearance of the new season after also being named in Smith's 21-man squad. It means Leeds have as strong a squad as they have for some time after the likes of Richie Myler and David Fusitu'a returned to action last week in the defeat against Salford Red Devils.
