Jack Walker (squad number one): Joined Hull last month on loan until the end of this season.

Aidan Sezer (No 7): Suspended for one game over a grade B trip against Salford. The ban was halved on appeal when the offence was reduced from grade C.

Kruise Leeming (No 9): Hasn’t played since suffering a stress fracture in a foot during the win at Hull last month. Is not yet running, but hopes to be available before the end of the regular season.

Matt Prior (No 10): Has one game to serve of a two-match ban imposed following his red card for a high tackle at Catalans Dragons a fortnight ago.
