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.
