And while the makeup and format of the 2026 season is still to be determined, there are many familiar faces for the Black and Whites across the three teams, with three venues, Odsal, Stade Ernest Wallon, and York's LNER Stadium, all on the calendar next year.

Jayden Okunbor: The Australian featured eight times for Hull as a back rower in 2024, scoring one try, before moving to Bradford on loan. Making the move permanent ahead of 2025, he has appeared 47 times for the Bulls in the outside back positions, scoring 32 tries.

Connor Wynne: The Bulls, as exclusively reported by All Out Rugby League, have signed the former Hull outside back after his move to Hull KR fell through due to 'salary cap' reasons.
