Mahe Fonua
Mahe Fonua will return to the club where he won two Challenge Cup Finals, and if he has as much as an impact as he had in his first stint then he’ll be worth everything FC have done to get him back.
Sonny Bill Williams
The highest profile signing in Super League’s history, Sonny Bill Williams returns to Rugby League after switching codes to play union. SBW could make his Super League debut in Round One, a double header where Toronto Wolfpack will face Castleford before Leeds Rhinos host Hull FC.
Danny Richardson
Danny Richardson had a bit-part season at St Helens in 2019, after making the 2018 Super League Dream Team. Castleford Tigers saw enough in the half-back to sign him on an undisclosed fee.
