Although Wakefield Trinity was demoted, the team is making a lot of noise now that they have new owners,

and it is generally anticipated that Matt Ellis and Daryl Powell will bring the team back to the Super League and make it a mainstay.

“Max Simpson’s not too far away from a return,” Rhinos head coach Rohan Smith confirmed at this afternoon’s press conference.

We also have great expectations for a few other young men in our program.

Alongside Jack , Simpson made his Super League debut in 2022 against the Castleford Tigers, but the Leeds Rhinos lost 16–14 at Road.

Despite having four strong games in 2022, the center sustained an ankle injury.

Following an injury, Leeds Rhinos player Max Simpson is assisted off the field.

He was out for the entire 2023 Super League season due to an ACL injury that he sustained during the preseason after making a comeback for a friendly on Boxing Day.

Max Simpson signed a contract last year that will keep him at through the end of the 2026 season, demonstrating how highly regarded he is by everyone there.

Smith described him as a “young, exciting prospect who is well liked within our group” at the time.

I’m eager to watch him advance further in the upcoming years.

His Leeds Rhinos future

When he was just eighteen years old and halfway through an ACL injury, the club committed to him for an additional three years.

When he was just eighteen years old and halfway through an ACL injury, the club committed to him for an additional three years.

He was playing in 2022 at the young age of seventeen, and head coach Rohan Smith made it obvious that he saw him as a top prospect despite his youth.

If he returns to his pre-injury level of play, he could be a vital member of the Super League for more than ten years.

He now faces competition from extremely talented players like Ned McCormack, Luis Roberts, and others who are all fighting for center positions going forward.

“We also have high expectations for a few other young men in our program.”
