Rhinos sweating on Sinfield fitness

Leeds Rhinos hope to have the services of captain Kevin Sinfield, who has scored points in all 19 of the Rhinos' meetings with the Catalan Dragons since 2006 but limped out of their win over Warrington last Friday.

The Rhinos are favourites to make it three consecutive victories at Stade Gilbert Brutus but full-back Zak Hardaker, their two-try hero against the Wolves, is expecting a backlash from the hosts following their hammering at Castleford.

"It's a really hostile environment down there," Hardaker said. "They really do fancy their chances at home and they will be trying to put things right."
