One change as Leeds Rhinos squad named for must-win game at Hull KR

Coach Brad Arthur has made one change to Leeds Rhinos’ initial squad for their make or break game at Hull KR on Friday.

Rhinos need to win their final fixture of the regular Betfred Super League season to have any chance of qualifying for the play-offs. Three-quarter Luis Roberts has been drafted into the 21 in place of Mickael Goudemand, who did not play in last Friday’s 38-0 loss at Wigan Warriors.
