When is Super League transfer deadline day as Leeds and Warrington give away recruiting positions

However, any further moves must be made before Friday, August 2, otherwise players will not be able to join their new sides before the end of the current campaign.

One side unlikely to do a deal before then is Leeds Rhinos, with sporting director Ian Blease recently suggesting they would not sign before the deadline despite appearing to be somewhat of an injury crisis at the moment – which prompted the recent loan moves of Matty Russell and Sam Eseh.

Blease said: “In terms of injuries, it means we are aware of the market and where we can strengthen. But we’ve got a good youth system that we’ll probably build on before we go into the market and there’s also not a lot available.”

Sam Burgess, however, suggested there could be other moves for Warrington Wolves, saying: “We’ve got a few more weeks, we’ve got a bit of space (for the salary cap) so we’ll see.”
