IT’S that time of year when pre-season is in full swing for the majority of Super League sides following a bruising 2022 season.
Among those back in are the Leeds Rhinos with a number of new signings swelling the ranks at Headingley for the 2023 season.
Luke Hooley has joined from Batley Bulldogs, Luis Roberts from the Championship, Sam Lisone from the Gold Coast Titans, Derrell Olpherts from Castleford Tigers, Leon Ruan from Doncaster and James McDonnell from Wigan Warriors.
Now, Hooley and Olpherts look to have been given their squad numbers for 2023 if their pictures of pre-season training on Instagram are anything to go by.
In recent weeks, a number of Rhinos players have pictured on the club’s social media accounts with Hooley the latest to post over the weekend.
His training gear is clearly showing the number 21 which points to the number that the former Batley man will be wearing in 2023.
