Long-term casualty Mikolaj Oledzki and new loan signing Joe Shorrocks have been drafted into Rhinos' 21-man squad ahead of the visit of the Betfred Super League leaders. However, Arthur revealed the players who thrashed Castleford Tigers 64-6 last Saturday are set for duty again.

Oledzki has missed four games with a fractured cheekbone and the coach said: “He is borderline, so it might be better to push him out another week.

“He has done plenty of training; physically, I don’t think he’s a guy who will ever lose too much.

“We just need to make sure he is in a good head space and he’s comfortable. It was a serious injury so taking that extra week will be the best thing for him.

“We will go with the same 17; those guys did a good job and we don't really have anyone coming back anyway.”
