Former Super League star set for shocking return

A number of exits have been confirmed at Super League clubs such as at Hull FC, Leeds Rhinos and Catalans Dragons.

Leeds Rhinos have confirmed the exit of Sam Walters to Wigan Warriors for next year to the dismay of many.

The Black and Whites have confirmed the loss of Jake Clifford for 2024 as he returns to the North Queensland Cowboys.

They have also confirmed that Brad Dwyer will be leaving the club and there are reports he is returning to the Warrington Wolves whilst they have confirmed that Chris Satae will be joining Catalans Dragons.

The Dragons seem to be losing plenty of stars with Mickael Goudemand, Adam Keighran, Tiaki Chan, Sam Tomkins, Mitchell Pearce and Tyrone May are all set to leave and Siua Taukeiaho has left immediately with the club confirming his release.

The French club are yet to replace Dylan Napa and will be looking to sign a prop or two before 2024.

But what has become of Napa since he left? Well he has been back down under and this week he is set to make a stunning return to the NRL this week after being named in the Sydney Roosters side.

When he left the club no one could have seen this coming.
