Edwin Ipape - The PNG international could feature for the Leopards on Saturday evening after suffering an injury earlier on this season. His speed from dummy half could cause the Tigers issues. Edwin Ipape could be the difference in this weekends clash.

Josh Charnley -  The Leopards winger was up there with the top try scorers in 2023, 26 tries for the veteran winger as he showed his class and experience out wide. Charnley has 6 tries so far in Super League in 2024 and will be looking to add to his tally at the weekend.

Matt Moylan - Veteran playmaker Matt Moylan has played at fullback in recent weeks with the fullback Gareth O'Brien being missing due to injury. The Australian international could be the missing piece to Leighs attack. His quality out the back will be something the Tigers will have to close down.
