Rhinos need a big improvement after last week’s 26-14 defeat at Leigh Leopards in Betfred Super League round one and players will want to impress coach Brad Arthur as he selects his side for the upcoming trip to Las Vegas. Here’s how Rhinos could line up for their first meeting with York since 1995.

11. Prop: Keenan Palasia
Will be in the 17 somewhere if he's fully fit after his knee injury and starting front-row is potentially the best option. Photo: Allan McKenzie/SWpix.com
12. Second-row: James McDonnell
Played last week despite an ankle injury and will retain his place if there are no ill-effects. Photo: Allan McKenzie/SWpix.com
