Ryan Hall returned to the team after a one-match absence, Harry Newman dropping out, when Leeds beat Warrington Wolves at the end of last month, but since then Arthur has used the same 17 in three successive victories. All the players on duty at Huddersfield Giants last week are in contention to face visitors Catalans Dragons on Friday and after a 56-22 win, Arthur isn’t planning major changes. However, his policy of sharing the workload in the middle of the field could see some reshuffling of the pack between starting team and bench. Here’s how Rhinos could line up.

9. Prop: Mikolaj Oledzki
Brad Arthur has hinted at switching his ‘middles’ around to share the workload, so the England man is an obvious candidate to start after successive games as a sub. Photo: Olly Hassell/SWpix.com
10. Hooker: Jarrod O'Connor
Has started the previous two and was good last week. Photo: Olly Hassell/SWpix.com
11. Prop: Cooper Jenkins
For all the front-rowers it’s a coin toss whether they’ll be in the starting side or on the bench, but Jenkins starts more often than not. Photo: Allan McKenzie/SWpix.com
12. Second-row: Chris Hankinson
Has done a good job in the pack and will probably stay there until injuries mean he’s needed elsewhere. Photo: Olly Hassell/SWpix.com
