Leeds will be without six players on international duty for the visit of Castleford to Headingley on Saturday.
The Rhinos will be without centre Keith Senior, half-backs Rob Burrow and Danny McGuire and forwards Jamie Peacock, Gareth Ellis and Kevin Sinfield as they take on the Tigers, 24 hours after the six line up for England against France in Toulouse.
But second-rower Ali Lauitiiti is set to return after five weeks out with a knee injury he picked up against Bradford last month.
The average age of the Rhinos squad is just 23, but only Joe Chandler and Michael Haley have not played for the first team this season and Haley has been playing for Doncaster in the Co-operative National League on loan.
Nick Scruton will begin his three match ban and Carl Ablett is missing after suffering an ankle injury in the defeat to St Helens last Friday.
The Tigers have added Adam Fletcher to the 17 players who drew with Wigan last week in naming an 18-man squad.
Kirk Dixon, Mark Leafa, Awen Guttenbeil, Ryan Clayton and Scott Moore are still out with injury, while Mitchell Sargent is still awaiting the necessary paperwork to be completed before he can fly in from Australia.
Leeds squad: Webb, Donald, Smith, Leuluai, Diskin, Jones-Buchanan, Lauitiiti, Bailey, Tansey, Hall, Williams, Burgess, Allan, Kaye, Worrall, Haley, Watkins, Chandler, Jones-Bishop.
Castleford squad: Dorn, Donlan, Shenton, Wainwright, Thakeray, Sherwin, Henderson, Korkidas, Westerman, Higgins, Huby, Lupton, Boyle, Owen, McGoldrick, Hlad, Catic, Fletcher.
