Rhinos have eight players ruled out or in doubt for Sunday’s game at Hull FC, who are second from bottom in the table and are currently without a head-coach. Leeds boss Rohan Smith has until noon on Friday to name a 21-man squad and will hope at least some of the injury victims could be back in contention for Rhinos’ rare weekend fixture. Here’s who is currently on the casualty roster.
