Rhinos got through last week’s defeat at Wigan Warriors with no confirmed new injuries and could be unchanged when they visit Hull KR on Friday for a game they must win to keep their season alive. The hosts, however, are without two key members of the team which won at Leigh Leopards last week. Here’s who is ruled out for both clubs and when they could be back on the field.
