After Friday’s visit of third-placed Hull KR, Rhinos will have played all the other top-six teams in the space of seven fixtures. Both Leeds and their visitors have won nine of their last 10 games so they are two of Betfred Super League’s form sides.
Last week’s 34-6 win at Warrington Wolves, who are second, was one of Leeds’ best performances of the season and coach Brad Arthur is expected to make a single change to the 17 on duty that evening. Here’s how Rhinos could line up against the defending champions.
