not just about league places though is it. You could get another teanm sorting issues out and coming higher like we are hoping to.

Either way it's a shambles. No one in their right mind expected to see waky and cas get grade A's

Hudds, Salford, Bradford and Toulouse can't quickly or easily do anything with their stadiums though. They are either top notch or err a big hole in the ground that can't easily be fixed.

Not saying we can completely relax, we need to get the performances up and therefore grow the crowds and income...but chances of 3 teams all getting better on the field while at the same time smashing it off the field seems unlikely to me right now.

fair enough. I'd not taken too much notice but the whole system seems a POS. When are they regrading? It could be that a team thinks they're safe sat in 6th place then suddenly be relegated as someone else has got a higher grading than them

Or Salford win next years super league title then are relegated
What a load of nonsense this IMG is
What happens if suddenly we have 15 teams with grade A
Sorry but for me its what happens on the field that counts.
Bottom club in S/l is relegated top club in the Championship is promoted
Then we have the ridiculous Championship play off where a team runs away with the league title then are beaten in the playoff so are not promoted.
If they want to have a Championship play off then it only works if we have 14 teams in S/L with a two up two down system where the winners of the Championship are automatically promoted and 2 to 4 including the second bottom of S/L play off for the second S/L spot so that the S/L club get a chance to stay in S/L and the Championship clubs a chance of promotion

Feels to me like someone tipped Bradford bulls off about the proposed return to promotion and relegation next year, they seem to be doing a lot of recruitment ahead of next season

The way I read it is that Grade A clubs are guaranteed in SL. If a grade B club finished 12th and a grade B club won the championship then that’d be the promotion and relegation.

So you could only possibly be relegated if you were a grade B club and finished 12th.

Yes, if the Championship club had higher points.

I get the impression Bradford held back last season as Wakefield were always going to be Champions. Wakey gained one off IMG points for winning the Championship Final and 1895 Cup (0.65?). I think Bradford will be eyeing those extra points this season.

Likewise, next year Wakey will lose those points from their score and probably drop to a Grade B. They may have walked the Championship, but I think they will struggle to get above 11th in SL next season

The latest rumoured talks I read didn’t mention points, it was just grade B for grade B.
