An away game against the Super League champions is a huge test at the best of times, but Leeds Rhinos are in a far from ideal situation ahead of tomorrow’s Betfred Challenge Cup tie.

With only two games played this year, injuries have decimated Rhinos’ full-time squad and the holders will be without at least nine players for the BBC-televised third round showdown with St Helens at TW Stadium.

None of their recent casualties has been included in coach Richard Agar’s initial squad and Kyle Eastmond, who has yet to make his debut after signing for Leeds last month, is not in contention.
