Leeds Rhinos are set to welcome back long-term injury absentees Harry Newman and Alex Mellor this week. The pair have both been included in Rohan Smith's 21-man squad to face Huddersfield Giants, with Newman set to feature for the first time since the opening month of the season.
The centre suffered a hamstring injury in the victory at Wakefield Trinity and has been sidelined since, but he is cleared to play after being included in Smith's squad last week but ultimately being deemed not ready to feature for the win at Warrington Wolves.
Leeds could also welcome back Mellor, who has been sidelined for seven weeks with a sternum injury in another timely boost for the Rhinos as they look to further reignite their push for the play-offs.
