IMG-RFL club gradings released St. Helens score top of the shop. St Helens have earned the highest score in the first official club gradings which are today published as part of Rugby League's long-term strategic partnership with IMG – and which determine membership of the Betfred Super League in 2025.
Saints have scored 17,02 points out of the maximum of 20 available to clubs across five pillars – Fandom, Finance, Stadium, Community and On-Field Performance.
They are one of nine clubs who have secured an A grading which guarantees a place in Super League.
The others include Wakefield Trinity, who were relegated from the Super League in 2023 and received a B grade in the illustrative gradings that were released last autumn.
