Leeds Rhinos have received a major boost ahead of their trip to East Hull on Friday evening, as England international Mikolaj Oledzki could make his first appearance of the season.
Oledzki has been unavailable to Rohan Smith after going under the knife in the off-season for shoulder surgery, having been part of the England World Cup squad. However, he is back at Leeds' disposal as the Rhinos look to record back-to-back in Super League for the second time in 2023.
James Bentley returns after completing his suspension last weekend. Harry Newman copped a fine after the Catalans Dragons victory but is free to play at Craven Park. Luke Hooley, Sam Walters and Luis Roberts also included.

Captain Shaun Kenny-Dowall will serve the last of his four-game suspension this Friday. He will be back for the Hull derby next week.
Former Rhinos Ryan Hall, Matt Parcell and Elliot Minchella are included in Willie Peters' side.
