In a surprising move, the Warrington Wolves have been granted special dispensation by the Rugby Football League (RFL) to recall a young loanee player within the standard two-week period. This is a unique situation, as loan deals in rugby league are typically announced as two-week arrangements before often being extended on a rolling basis.
The player in question is 19-year-old prop Max Wood, who was loaned to the Bradford Bulls just over a week ago on a two-week deal, alongside Huddersfield’s Connor Carr. Wood made his debut for the Bulls on Good Friday, scoring a try in their 29-10 victory over the Halifax Panthers.

However, due to a shortage of prop forwards in their senior team and reserve grade, the Warrington Wolves have now been granted permission by the RFL to recall Wood before the conclusion of his initial two-week loan spell. The Bulls have supported Warrington’s request, allowing the young forward to be named in the 21-man squad and likely the matchday squad for this Friday’s clash against the Leeds Rhinos.
The Warrington Wolves will be without Paul Vaughan due to suspension for the next two games, while both Joe Philbin and Zane Musgrove failed head injury assessments in the recent loss to the Catalans Dragons. This backdrop has prompted the club to exercise their right to recall Wood, with the RFL granting the necessary dispensation.
The upcoming rugby league fixtures, including the Warrington Wolves’ clash with the Leeds Rhinos, are set to be closely followed by fans and bettors alike. Many rugby betting sites will be offering odds and markets on these highly anticipated matches, providing an added layer of excitement for the rugby league enthusiasts.
