Leeds Rhinos have allowed captain Trent Merrin to speak to Australian clubs about returning to the NRL and are monitoring possible replacements.

Merrin joined Rhinos from Penrith Panthers at the end of the 2018 season and took over as captain from Kallum Watkins in May.

He is happy at Leeds, but a family situation could prompt his return home.
