Who’s still off-contract?
Five Rhinos players are out of contract at the end of the current campaign. David Fusitu’a, Rhyse Martin, James Donaldson, Luis Roberts, and Corey Johnson are the ones that they are.
Despite their best efforts, Martin is still much sought after by Warrington Wolves and Leigh Leopards. Other Super League teams are also interested in Roberts.
When he was head coach, Rohan Smith regularly left the door open for a deal involving Fusitu’a; nevertheless, the winger’s injury issues seem to indicate that Leeds may decide to let him go at the end of the current campaign.
