The Rhino's will be looking to bounce back from last weekends home defeat to table toppers Huddersfield Giants, while the Warriors will arrive at Headingley Carnegie full of optimism after three wins on the spin.
T"It is going to be a tough one because they'll be licking their lips and smelling a bit of blood," "We're used to it and we'll try and take whatever positives we can from this." said Brian McDermott
Ben Jones-Bishop and Zak Hardaker are both still ruled out through injury whilst Darrell Griffin is on loan at Salford. The other three members of the full time squad, Liam Hood, Brad Singleton and Jimmy Keinhorst are all currently playing with Hunslet under dual registration.
