The Rhinos head coach has selected a mixture of youth and experience for the traditional Wetherby Whaler Boxing Day fixture against Wakefield Trinity at Headingley.

More than 20 players are expected to take the field for the Rhinos, including new signings Ethan O'Neill, Danny Levi, and Jeremiah Mata'utia, while in the pack, Tom Holroyd, Jarrod O'Connor, and Cooper Jenkins are all named to start, with Keenan Palasia at loose forward.
