Didn’t even grade London. Going to be interesting. Personally don’t think the fact we don’t own the Stadium is a big deal. Proximity to another club shouldn’t be a problem, most clubs have this issue, Sky spend a lot of time promoting so called Derbies, Magic weekend was built around them

I am all for promoting the game but the more i read about IMG i just cant see what they are doing to enhance the game.

The grading system is nonsense.Its what happens on the field and where you finish in S/L should be what counts,and to remove promotion and relegation does nothing to add any interest or excitement for fans.

This seasons Championship play offs to me were more interesting than seeing Wigan at the top of the S/L table.

My opinion is that the RFL have been taken in by the big name of IMG but will see the error of their ways when they realise they are paying money for nothing

Going to be carnage on here tmrw

They’re not paying money.

Surely Catalan will be grade A too, big catchment area, big attendances, strong on field performances, they're one of the richest clubs in the game. Cas' strength made me laugh "plans to revamp the stadium" they promised that the last time licensing came around in 2009!

Think you told him that before but it doesn’t fit his agenda.

Because its Bollocks

Show me where its reported that IMG are going to work for the RFL for 12 years without payment

That's not what he said. IMG are not being paid by the RFL, rather they will take a share of future profits generated by new proposals.

Having a quick scan on the HDM this morning, Tomlinson thinks we'll get an A, Appleyard reckons Rovers will get a high B poss A.



Think both Hull clubs are safe. It'll be interesting to see what happens with Wakefield/London/Cas/Fev and even Salford

How does not publishing your attendances affect your IMG grading? Asking for a neighbouring club

Matt Shaw seems to think 7 clubs will get a grade A.



Must be Leeds, Wigan, Saints, Wire, Hull, Rovers, Catalans

Has to be those 7, can't be Salford, Leigh, London, Cas. Hudds could maybe argued, but they can't see how they would be above Hull or Rovers.
