Zak Hardaker back for Leeds Rhinos

 

Leeds Rhinos full-back Zak Hardaker is set to make his return from suspension on Thursday night, after being named in the 19-man squad to face Castleford Tigers.

Hardaker has been included in the squad following his five match suspension for using homophobic language during Leeds’ game against Warrington earlier in the season.

And there is further good news for the Rhinos with possible returns for Jamie Jones-Buchanan, Kylie Leuluai and Ian Kirke, who have all been ruled out in recent weeks through injury.

Leeds Rhinos squad to face Castleford: Hardaker, Jones-Bishop, Watkins, Moon, Hall, McGuire, Burrow, Leuluai, Aiton, Peacock, Jones-Buchanan, Ablett, Sinfield (c), Delaney, Kirke, Achurch, Briscoe, Sutcliffe, Walters.
