Most Super League players who aren\u2019t in Challenge Cup action will be enjoying a restful weekend, but for some, they have joined Championship sides in a bid to find game time.<\/p>\n

Players from five different clubs have all joined a range of different teams, with the likes of Salford RLFC and Halifax Panthers benefitting.<\/p>\n

Starting with Leeds Rhinos, young half-back Harry Smith is one of three players to join Salford. He will be joined by Warrington Wolves pair James Duffy and Isaac Reid.<\/p>\n

Duffy made his Super League debut last season, playing twice, and he also competed for Widnes Vikings in 2025.<\/p>\n

Castleford Tigers duo, Jenson Windley and Daniel Sarbah, have also joined the Ryan Brierley-led side. Windley has played for the Reds already this season, whilst Sarbah will be making his Championship debut.<\/p>\n

St Helens have sent three players to Whitehaven. Cole Marsh, Alfie Sinclair and Luca Walsh will all be in contention for the Cumbrian side\u2019s trip to Swinton Lions.<\/p>\n

Huddersfield Giants, who have just confirmed Jim Lenihan as their new head coach<\/a>, have sent forward Jack Billington on a season-long loan to Widnes Vikings.<\/p>\n

Lastly, Will Brough, son of Super League legend Danny, has joined Halifax from Leigh Leopards. In a difference to the rest of the aforementioned loans though, Brough has joined for the season as opposed to just a week.<\/p>\n

Brough made his top flight debut in round seven against Warrington, whilst he has featured for both the Panthers and Salford already this year.<\/p>\n
