AS recruitment and retention is nearly complete for the majority of the 12 Super League clubs, eyes are now firmly focused on the new season.
However, some sides could still bring in overseas players with three top flight clubs having quota spaces.
Clubs are allowed a maximum of seven ‘non-Federation trained players’ in their squad ad these players are those that haven’t played three seasons of rugby in Europe before they turned 21.
Here is every Super League club’s quota situation:
Castleford Tigers – 7/7
The Tigers no longer have any spaces left on their overseas quota following the capture of PNG internationals Judah Rimbu and Jeremiah Simbiken as well as Parramatta Eels duo Daejarn Asi and Zac Cini.
Quota: Daejarn Asi, Zac Cini, Liam Horne, Tex Hoy, Sylvester Namo, Judah Rimbu, Jeremiah Simbiken
Catalans Dragons – 6/7
The Dragons currently have six of their seven quota spots taken up ,with new signings Nick Cotric, Luke Keary and Tevita Pangai Junior making the move from the NRL.
