Ranking every Super League club by players used in 2024: Castleford Tigers and Hull FC leading the way

Warrington Wolves, Hull FC and Castleford Tigers are all among the frontrunners in terms of the most players used to this point in 2024

With 20 rounds played, we’re now comfortably into the final third of the Super League season  – and for some clubs, squad depth has been a real issue.

Injuries and suspensions have hit several clubs hard – with poor form also contributing to the amount of players each club has used thus far in 2024, too.

But which clubs have used the most players throughout 2024? And which clubs have kept the most consistency in their side?

Love Rugby League has ranked all 12 clubs, from least players used to most players used.

Anyone who has been named in a matchday squad for a competitive senior fixtures so far this season is included, regardless of whether they’ve only played in Super League, the Challenge Cup, or – as it is in most cases – both.

For the sake of clarity, any player named in one squad or more this season without making an appearance yet (e.g. they’ve been an unused interchange or the unused 18th man) has their name in italics, BUT they are still counted towards their club’s tally.

So, without further ado, here’s the ranking…
