Scrum-half Frawley's omission due to 'balance of squad' admits Arthur

Rhinos' number seven hasn't played since the Good Friday win against his former club Huddersfield Giants on April 18. He was included in the initial squad for the past four matches, but has been left out of tomorrow's 21, with his place going to teenage forward Presley Cassell in the only change from last week's victory at Castleford Tigers.

Jake Connor and Brodie Croft have emerged as Rhinos' first-choice half-back pairing while rookie Jack Sinfield has also leapfrogged Frawley in the pecking order and is in the squad for Saturday. Speaking at his weekly preview press conference, Arthur attributed Frawley's omission to "the balance of the squad".
