The trio are out of contract at the end of this year, with no news yet as to whether they will be remaining at the club. Since May 1, any players in the final year of their deal have been free to talk to rival teams and the club must tell them by the end of this month (August) if they will be offered a new contract.
Second-rower Rhyse Martin has been confirmed as a Hull KR player for 2025 and 2026 after rejecting a new deal from Leeds. Rhinos also offered terms to forward James Donaldson, but has opted to go part-time with Bradford Bulls. Here’s the status of every contracted member of Rhinos’ senior group, including when their current deal expires.
