Key quartet return for Leeds Rhinos ahead of Catalans Dragons clash

Leeds captain Luke Gale is among four notable returnees for the Rhinos in Richard Agar's 21-man squad as they look to make it five successive wins on Friday evening.

Agar has been handed a significant boost ahead of the game with Super League leaders Catalans, with Gale back in contention after missing the recent victories against Leigh Centurions and Warrington Wolves.

Gale is joined in the Leeds squad by forward King Vuniyayawa, who returns following a concussion suffered against the Centurions.

Richie Myler has also overcome a hand injury to come back into the mix, while Cameron Smith is also set to return, having completed his isolation period after being identified as a close contact during Leeds' recent Covid-19 outbreak.

Jack Broadbent drops out with the ankle injury that forced him from the field during the early stages of Monday's win at Warrington, but in-form prop Mikolaj Oledzki is fit enough to feature despite picking up a foot problem on Monday.

Oledzki, Matt Prior and Kruise Leeming will all play their fifth game in just over two weeks if, as expected, they are selected to feature on Friday as Leeds look to move into the play-off places with a win against the Dragons.

Leeds 21-man squad: Tom Briscoe, Konrad Hurrell, Ash Handley, Rob Lui, Luke Gale, Mikolaj Oledzki, Kruise Leeming, Matt Prior, Alex Mellor, Rhyse Martin, Brad Dwyer, Liam Sutcliffe, Richie Myler, Cameron Smith, Tom Holroyd, King Vuniyayawa, Bodene Thompson, Sam Walters, Luke Briscoe, James Donaldson, Jarrod O'Connor.
