LEEDS RHINOS host Catalans Dragons on Saturday afternoon, with the fixture live on Channel 4.
Rohan Smith’s men will have their work cut out against a rampant Catalans side which has won all five of their Super League games so far in 2023.
Meanwhile, the Rhinos have just four points on the board after wins over St Helens and Wakefield Trinity.
Team news and injuries
Leeds will be without the banned James Bentley and this week comes too soon for Mikolaj Oledzki despite the forward’s rapid progress from shoulder surgery.
Catalans, meanwhile, could welcome back Mitchell Pearce with the halfback missing all of the opening five games so far, but there is no Sam Tomkins or Siosiua Taukeiaho.
