Since the former Parramatta Eels boss arrived, 18 members of the first team squad have left the club and 13 have come in, including four who are expected to make their debut this year. Of the 16 players used in Arthur’s first game - a 20-12 home loss to Hull KR on July 20, 2024, when Alfie Edgell was an unused substitute - only Lachie Miller, Harry Newman, Ash Handley, Brodie Croft, Mikolaj Oledzki, James McDonnell, Cameron Smith and Jarrod O’Connor remain on the books.
It is now very much Arthur’s squad as Leeds look to kick on from last season’s fourth place finish in Betfred Super League - which was their best since 2017 - and challenge for silverware this year. Here’s the full list of players who have gone out, plus who has come in during Arthur’s time as coach.
