One member of this year’s first team group, Ethan O’Neill, has already left the club and the departure of six others has been confirmed. Rhinos have announced two signings from the southern hemisphere NRL and at least one more is expected before pre-season begins in November.
The club are also working on new deals for some youngsters who have yet to make their debut, but train with the first team squad. One of those is understood to have agreed fresh terms, though that has not been officially announced. Here’s the current status of all players currently at the club and confirmed additions for next year.
