Reasons to be cheerful in face of Rhinos' toughest test yet ...

1: Man of Steel leader Jake Connor's England omission didn't come as a surprise. The Rhinos half-back is a maverick and not the type of player national coach Shaun Wane favours. With Hull KR's Mikey Lewis, also known for his ability to wind up opponents, nailed on for a place in the Super League-based train-on squad, Connor was always a long shot.
