Going into Betfred Super League round eight, Rhinos have no injuries among their first-choice players and Arthur has been able to loan an England international - Harry Newman - to rivals Hull FC to keep him match fit. Forward Tom Nicholson-Watton’s recall in place of Newman is the only change to the 21-man squad named before Rhinos’ win at Bradford Bulls two weeks ago.
Newman’s omission shows the strength in Rhinos’ backs, but there might be changes in the pack and on the bench as Arthur aims to share the workload among his forwards. Here’s how Rhinos could line up.
