Winger Ash Handley is poised to make his 200th Leeds Rhinos appearance in Thursday’s Super League derby at Castleford Tigers.
It could also be a milestone for forward Mickael Goudemand, whose next Super League game will be his 100th in the competition. Coach Rohan Smith has named an unchanged 21 following last Friday’s Betfred Challenge Cup defeat by St Helens. Goudemand, full-back Alfie Edgell and prop James Donaldson are all vying for a recall to the 17, alongside scrum-half Jack Sinfield who has yet to make a first team appearance this season. Centre Paul Momirovski is a doubt because of an ankle injury.
Danny Richardson will start at stand-off for his 100th Super League appearance, after being 18th man for last Saturday’s Betfred Challenge Cup win at Batley Bulldogs. Samy Kibula, who wasn’t selected against Batley, retains his place in the 21. Richardson is set to replace Rowan Milnes who damaged a hamstring in the tie at Mount Pleasant. Former Rhinos full-back Luke Hooley, who was a substitute last week, drops out because of a shoulder injury.
