Leon Ruan and Tom Nicholson-Watton are included after being recalled from loan spells in the Betfred Championship - with Doncaster and York Knights respectively - and fellow forward Justin Sangare is back in the squad following a one-match ban. Ex-New Zealand and Tonga Test winger David Fusitu’a has recovered from knee surgery and is set for his first appearance of 2024.
Half-back Jack Sinfield and full-back Alfie Edgell both retain their squad place despite not featuring in the 21 against Warrington. Winger Ash Handley (ribs) and prop Tom Holroyd (concussion) drop out after being injured in the game two weeks ago.
