Every Super League club’s quota situation as Castleford Tigers confirm Charbel Tasipale exit

Castleford Tigers are one of a number of Super League clubs with a free quota spot after the departure of Charbel Tasipale.

Tasipale has had his contract cancelled by mutual consent, leaving the Tigers with a potential spot to go into the market with mid-season as they look to bolster their ranks.

Castleford are one of four Super League clubs with at least one quota spot available. Elsewhere recently, Leigh Leopards signed Aaron Pene, Castleford tied down Tex Hoy with a two-year contract extension, and Salford Red Devils secured the future of Sam Stone until the end of the 2026 season. Hull FC also released Franklin Pele.

Every club is permitted seven overseas players on their quota – with almost all Super League clubs maxed out as things stand as we approach the end of June.

Here’s every club’s current quota situation..

Castleford Tigers – 6

Castleford, as mentioned, now have a quota spot free after Tasipale’s departure. They replaced Albert Vete with Tex Hoy mid-season, and the latter has now penned a two-year contract extension.

Contracted: Jacob Miller (2025), Tex Hoy (2026), Liam Horne (2026), Elie El-Zakhem (2025), Nixon Putt (2025), Sylvester Namo (2025)

Catalans Dragons – 7

The Grand Finalists brought in three new signings from the NRL ahead of 2024 in the shape of Tariq Sims, Jayden Nikorima and Bayley Sironen, whilst signing powerhouse prop Chris Satae from Hull FC.

Tonga international Siosiua Taukeiaho was linked with a return to the NRL over the off-season, but the goal-kicking prop ultimately stayed with Catalans.

Contracted: Manu Ma’u (2024), Chris Satae (2025), Matt Ikuvalu (2024), Tariq Sims (2025), Jayden Nikorima (2025), Bayley Sironen (2025), Siosiua Taukeiaho (2024, option for 2025)

Huddersfield Giants – 7

Ian Watson’s side filled their quota spots, having brought in forward Jack Murchie and half-back Adam Clune from the NRL prior to the season getting underway.

However, the Giants will definitely have two quota spots open up for next season, with Cook Islands international Esan Marsters having signed a three-year contract with Salford as of 2025, whilst captain Luke Yates will join Warrington on a two-year deal.

Contracted: Esan Marsters (2024), Kevin Naiqama (2024), Tui Lolohea (2026), Luke Yates (2024), Sebastine Ikahihifo (2025), Jack Murchie (2026), Adam Clune (2026)

Hull FC – 5

Hull’s quota spots were set to be fully filled with the arrivals of Jed Cartwright & Treigh Stewart, but the latter now won’t be making the move to Super League after FC were made aware of an allegation of domestic violence against him Down Under.

Franklin Pele has now also departed the club, so they have two free quota spots at the moment. Pele arrived in the off-season just gone from Down Under along with Fa’amanu Brown (who has also already departed), Herman Ese’ese & Jayden Okunbor. Tex Hoy left to join Castleford Tigers just a few weeks into the season, too.

Come 2025, a spot will need to be free for John Asiata to arrive, with the Leigh Leopards captain joining the Airlie Birds on a three-year deal.

Contracted: Jayden Okunbor (2025), Herman Ese’ese (2026), Carlos Tuimavave (2024), Ligi Sao (2025), Jed Cartwright (2025)

Hull KR – 7

Hull KR made four new overseas signings ahead of the new season in the shape of Peta Hiku, Tyrone May, Jai Whitbread and Kelepi Tanginoa.

Robins boss Willie Peters has already confirmed that hooker Matt Parcell will leave the club upon the expiry of his contract at the end of this season.

Contracted: Sauaso Sue (2025), Tom Opacic (2024), Peta Hiku (2026), Matt Parcell (2024), Kelepi Tanginoa (2026), Tyrone May (2025), Jai Whitbread (2026)

Leeds Rhinos – 7

The Rhinos went big on a heavy recruitment drive ahead of 2024, bringing Lachie Miller, Matt Frawley and Paul Momirovski over from the NRL as well as signing Brodie Croft and Andy Ackers from Salford, all of whom formed a new-look spine in Rohan Smith’s side.

Contracted: Lachie Miller (2026), Sam Lisone (2025), Rhyse Martin (2024), Matt Frawley (2025), Paul Momirovski (2025), Brodie Croft (2026), David Fusitu’a (2024)

Leigh Leopards – 8 (7)

Leigh were full up on quota space for 2024 having signed former Australia international Matt Moylan on a two-year deal ahead of this season.

However, they offloaded Ben Nakubuwai – who is off-contract – to Featherstone Rovers on a loan running until the end of the season, freeing up one of their 2024 spots to pave the way for the signing of Aaron Pene following his release from NRL outfit Melbourne Storm, and his arrival has now been confirmed.

Come the end of the season, it’s also been confirmed that captain John Asiata will be departing for Hull FC, as will prop Tom Amone who heads to Canterbury Bulldogs. Kai O’Donnell’s return to the NRL has been sealed too, joining the North Queensland Cowboys, while Ricky Leutele is off-contract and has been told he won’t be offered a new deal.

Accordingly, there could be major turnover in the Leopards camp this winter.

Contracted: Ricky Leutele (2024), John Asiata (2024), Tom Amone (2024), Edwin Ipape (2025), Kai O’Donnell (2025), Ben Nakubuwai (2024 – Out on loan until end of season at Featherstone), Matt Moylan (2025), Aaron Pene (2026)

London Broncos – 6

The Broncos have one quota spot remaining this season.

Mike Eccles’ side signed former Hull KR prop Rhys Kennedy and Italy international half-back Jack Campagnolo for 2024. The Broncos also brought in dual-code international Hakim Miloudi, but French players do not count on the quota.

Contracted: Ethan Natoli (2024), Rhys Kennedy (2024), Jarred Bassett (2024), Emmanuel Waine (2024), Dean Parata (2024), Jack Campagnolo (2024)

Salford Red Devils – 8

Having made three new overseas signings during the off-season, bringing in Papua New Guinea international Nene Macdonald and Australian half-back Cade Cust from Wigan as well as Wests Tigers winger David Nofoaluma, Salford saw Ken Sio depart on the eve of the 2024 season on compassionate grounds.

Accordingly, they had filled their quota spots, but the Red Devils signed Loghan Lewis from Canberra Raiders at the end of May, and are now officially over maximum capacity in terms of their spots. However, Nofoaluma is reportedly set to make a swift exit, and could well already have done so without any official announcement being made.

In other news, Sam Stone has been tied down until the end of the 2026 season.

Contracted: Sam Stone (2026), David Nofoaluma (2024), Shane Wright (2026), Tim Lafai (2025), Nene Macdonald (2027), King Vuniyayawa (2025), Cade Cust (2024, option for 2025), Loghan Lewis (2024, option for 2025)

The reigning Super League champions aren’t expected to extend the contract of veteran Willie Isa beyond the end of this season, so a quota spot should come free ahead of 2025.

Contracted: Bevan French (2028), Jai Field (2027), Kaide Ellis (2026), Abbas Miski (2027), Adam Keighran (2025), Willie Isa (2024), Patrick Mago (2026, option for 207)
