The Betfred Super League round seven game comes just five days after Leeds beat Warrington Wolves 26-22 in difficult conditions at AMT Headingley and coach Brad Arthur, who will select from the same 21, has promised “a couple of minor adjustments, just to share the workload a little bit”. Presley Cassell, who played on loan for Huddersfield Giants in Bulls’ previous match at Odsal, is vying for a call into the 17, alongside fellow forwards Jeremiah Mata’utia and Ethan O’Neill and centre Harry Newman. Here’s how Rhinos could line up.
