Super League clubs\u2019 recruitment is well underway ahead of 2027, but a number of top-flight sides still have room to manoeuvre, both in the salary cap and on their overseas quota spots.<\/p>\n

Sides in the top flight are allowed up to 10 \u2018Non-federation trained\u2019 players in their Super League rosters. To put it simply, that is anyone who didn\u2019t play at least three years of rugby league in Europe up to the age of 21.<\/p>\n

As an example, Man of Steel nominee Adam Keighran is a \u2018quota\u2019 player for Wigan Warriors, because he spent his entire childhood in Australia. Whereas Leigh\u2019s Lachlan Lam, who was born in Sydney, moved to the UK alongside his father Adrian during his playing days, and spent time playing junior rugby in England. The same applies to Hull FC\u2019s Ethan O\u2019Neill.<\/p>\n

Some clubs, as you can see below, are currently over the limit of 10 players, meaning they will need to cull one of those from their squad before the season begins or simply de-register them, as Wigan Warriors did with Abbas Miski this season.<\/p>\n

With all that cleared up, here is the full list of every club\u2019s Super League quota allocation heading into 2027, and when their contracts are set to expire.<\/p>\n

York Knights: 13\/10<\/p>\n

With York, it\u2019s easiest to clarify who is definitely contracted because, based on how they ended the 2026 season and what signings they\u2019ve made for 2027, the Knights have 13 players on quota.<\/p>\n

They include signings Cam McInnes and Blake Lawrie, whilst both Cody Hunter and David Nofoaluma signed permanent deals after arriving on loan from Newcastle earlier in the year. Toa Mata\u2019afa has signed a new deal, and Xavier Va\u2019a was locked in for 2027 anyway, but outside of those six it gets tricky to track.<\/p>\n

That partnership with Newcastle makes York\u2019s overseas contingent hard to follow, as many of their overseas players featured for the Championship club this year. Moreover, many of York\u2019s signing announcements came with a lack of contract clarity, so here\u2019s our best guess at the overseas players on their books \u2013 at least three of whom will be cut from the Super League roster.<\/p>\n

Xavier Va\u2019a (both 2027), Blake Lawrie*, Cody Hunter, David Nofoaluma, Toa Mata\u2019afa (all 2028), Cam McInnes (2029), Jack Martin, Jesse Dee, John Sagaga, Jordan Lipp, Nikau Williams, Ryan Jackson, Scott Galeano (all contract length unknown) \u2013 *Blake Lawrie has an option for 2029.<\/p>\n
