Leeds Rhinos have received an enormous boost after Ash Handley was named in their squad for the Grand Final. Handley, who has missed the play-offs with a knee injury, is in contention to feature after Rohan Smith named him in his side for the trip to Old Trafford.
Handley limped off in Leeds' final-round victory over Castleford Tigers and hasn't featured since. Following victory over Wigan Warriors on Friday, Smith said both Handley and Fusitu'a were unlikely to feature. Though Fusitu'a remains absent, Handley, who has often captained the side this year during the absence of Kruise Leeming, is the notable inclusion. Tom Briscoe and Liam Tindall have been the two wingers in the play-off triumphs.
Rhyse Martin also returns after serving his controversial two-match ban in another boost for Leeds, who will be missing Fusitu’a, Harry Newman, Aidan Sezer, Morgan Gannon and Tom Holroyd through injury.
