While recruitment activity across other Super League clubs is coming to light, very little has come out relating to Leeds Rhinos. Sam Walters appears to be on his way to Wigan Warriors and Liam Tindall has been linked with a move to Hull FC. But otherwise, developments, publicly at least, have been slow.
The club still has a number of players, who hold significant salary cap value, off-contract. Among them is James Bentley. The back-rower is now free to hold talks with rival clubs and at this stage, his future does appear unclear.
Bentley arrived in 2022 as part of a high-profile recruitment drive that saw Aidan Sezer, Blake Austin and David Fusitu'a also join the club. When he arrived, he was brought in to compete for a place in the side with Rhyse Martin and Alex Mellor, who departed for Castleford Tigers just a few months later. As a result, he was handed a sizable contract that reflected his importance in the squad.
