Leeds’ top 17 players are all included and the star trio of Brodie Croft, Mikolaj Oledzki and James McDonnell could return from injury if they come through today’s (Wednesday) training session unscathed. Arthur’s big headache this week is who to leave out, with only long-term casualties Max Simpson and Alfie Edgell definitely unavailable. Fitness checks will determine the side, but here’s how Rhinos could line up.
