Cousins and Naidole return for Rhinos Women

Leeds Rhinos head coach has named Evie Cousins and Lois Naidole in her 21 players squad to face Huddersfield Giants on Sunday 12^th July, kick off 2pm.

Cousins has been ruled out with a hamstring injury since the Betfred Women’s Challenge Cup game against London Broncos and Naidole has missed the last five games through an ankle injury but could return against her former club.

Ebony Stead is ruled out with an ankle injury she picked up against Leigh, but Nicole Kennedy returns to the side.

This is the final game of the first half of the Betfred Women’s Super League season, but the competition splits and the top four team battle for a place in the Grand Final. The Rhinos currently sit in second place ahead of St Helens and behind Wigan Warriors.
