While all 12 Super League clubs declared their stance on their off-contract players, so too did Championship leaders Wakefield Trinity who, as a full-time outfit, were also obliged to do so.
There was plenty to learn about Trinity’s plans. Only two off-contract players – Luke Gale and Thomas Doyle – were absent, with the rest of the players in that bracket listed as not yet determined. It means Daryl Powell and his team have some big calls to make in the second half of this season.
If, as expected, Wakefield are a Super League side in 2025, they could well end up with some significant cap space if they let players like Matty Ashurst and Jermaine McGillvary leave. It means an already lengthy shopping list for Trinity could get even bigger, and they may get even more active in the market.
