Nine of the senior squad will be entering the final year of their contract when Betfred Super League kicks off in February. That includes seven who had a top-20 squad number in 2024, so sporting director Ian Blease, who is in charge of recruitment and retention, is facing a busy campaign and he – and the players – have big decisions to make.
Rival clubs aren’t allowed to approach players until May 1 in the final year of their contract, but after that they are effectively on the open market. Rhinos begin pre-season later this month. Here’s who will be out of contract at the end of the forthcoming campaign.
