Although the Super League season is currently on hiatus for the international break, transfer activity shows no sign of slowing down, as sides look to put their plans for 2025 into action.
While the international break is only two days old, sides are already announcing big deals for next season. Yesterday, it was announced that Cam Scott would join Wakefield Trinity from Hull FC, following in the footsteps of Tom Johnstone and Mike McMeeken in moving to the West Yorkshire side.
Earlier today, Leigh Leopards announced the capture of David Armstrong from NRL side, Newcastle Knights. Confirmation of the move puts to bed one of the longest running transfer sagas in Super League, with Armstrong being linked with a move to Leigh for several months.
Now, another Super League has joined Leigh in raiding the NRL, announcing a major deal for the 2025 season.

“I can’t wait to put the jersey on and go hard with the boys. I’m excited to make new memories and play for a great club and team. Allez les Dragons!”
Catalans head coach, Steve McNamara, believes Cotric’s versatility and experience will provide a big lift to the Dragons squad. McNamara stated:
