They've won 16 straight within the friendly confines of Frontier Field.
Opponents say part of the reason is the narrower dimensions of the pitch.
And while Rhinos players don't deny that size matters, they say their home-field advantage extends beyond the white lines. It means more adrenaline, more hustle and more fight for every 50-50 ball. Ticket sales have been slow. But maybe the fans who show up will be as loud as the 2,811 in Toronto on Friday. The Rhinos need all the help they can get.
