Agar has named its strongest squad yet in the campaign to visit the Salford Red Devils in the Betfred Super League’s 15th round.
But he insisted, “Regardless of the players we come back, I think the big thing coming back this week is the fans.”
Today’s game is the first at Headingley without reduced capacity – or social distancing – since Rhino’s 66-12 win over Toronto Wolfpack on March 5 last year.

Face covering is optional and fans are not asked to provide evidence of a negative lateral flow test or vaccination.
“It was great to have 4,000 visitors, but hopefully we can get more than 10,000 spectators here and create a wonderful atmosphere,” said Agar.
“It will be another wonderful, emotional occasion.”
The second half of last season and the first games of this year were played behind closed doors before a limited number of spectators were allowed to participate from the end of May.
The coach said both he and his players missed the unique atmosphere that a large audience creates at Headingley.
Agar said: “I missed it, but I’m very focused on the day of the team as a team.
“I think most of all the players missed it.
“I’ve said that many times before, our audience has always played a wonderful role for us, in good times and bad.
“In my opinion, there is no better place to play rugby world league on a Friday night than Headingley.”
“There is a certain excitement and excitement among our boys that they will get an opportunity.”
