Rhinos were down to the bare bones for last week’s win against Leigh Leopards when 14 members of their full-time squad were ruled out. There are no Betfred Super League fixtures this weekend, because of England’s mid-season Test in France and the break will give the casualties extra time to recover. That is set to leave Rhinos in a much healthier state for the visit of London Broncos on Saturday, July 6. Here’s a full injury round-up.

4. Andy Ackers
Delayed-onset concussion has kept the hooker out of Rhinos' last three games. This weekend off gives him extra time to complete his return to play protocol and he could be in contention for the visit of London Broncos on July 6.Photo: Allan McKenzie/SWpix.com
5. Tom Holroyd
Missed the Leigh game because of concussion suffered the previous week at Hull, which was his first match for two months because of a similar issue. No return date has been given, but a second head knock could mean an extended layoff.Photo: Allan McKenzie/SWpix.com
