Leeds Rhinos will be without both David Fusitu'a and Blake Austin for their must-win clash with Castleford on Saturday. The Rhinos know only a victory will guarantee their place in the play-offs against a Tigers side who themselves are vying for the final spot inside the top six.
Ash Handley, who missed Monday's loss to Catalans ahead of the birth of his first child, and Aidan Sezer, who returns from suspension, are both available and ready to return this weekend. But Fusitu'a's calf problem will keep him sidelined, while Austin is also out injured.
"He won't be available this week," Rohan Smith said of Fusitu'a. "He's probably in doubt for the week after if we make it but we'll see. It's responding well, but he definitely won't be ready for this week."
