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.
13. Second-row: Kallum Watkins
Could be at loose-forward or even on the bench, but second-row is his jersey number and looks the best bet given the 21-man squad. Photo: Olly Hassell/SWpix.com
14. Loose-forward: Cameron Smith
Back in contention after injury; is an option for the bench, but started at 13 in his previous game. Photo: Olly Hassell/SWpix.com
15. Sub: Ethan O'Neill
After two starts, could be on the bench this time. Photo: Olly Hassell/SWpix.com

17. Sub: Tom Holroyd
Has started the past two, but Keenan Palasia’s return may mean he switches to being an impact replacement. Photo: Olly Hassell/SWpix.com
18. Sub: Danny Levi
Likely to come on at hooker to give Cameron Smith a rest, with Jarrod O'Connor moving into 13. Photo: Olly Hassell/SWpix.com
