The off-season continues to roll on and we got a slate of pre-season fixtures this past weekend to help to remind us that the 2023 campaign is just around the corner.
Only one Super League side found themselves in action this weekend as Wakefield Trinity secured victory in Reece Lyne’s testimonial game against Halifax Panthers, but that doesn’t change the fact that we are now one month from Super League’s opening night.
The divisions new boys, Leigh Leopards, were the latest team to release their squad numbers for 2023 on Friday, the date marking five weeks until they start their campaign with a home fixture to Salford Red Devils.
On the back of Leigh releasing their squad numbers there’s only two more teams to confirm with both Castleford Tigers and Catalans Dragons lagging behind the ten other Super League sides, but here’s a run-down of the confirmed numbers so far.
