| Quote: pmarrow "P+R adds another element of interest to the league with something to fight for every week throughtout the year. If you was to look at this season come july the season would be over for at least 4 teams. This would also add to a loss of revenue imo as less will attend for dead rubber games.
They isnt even a wealthy backer waiting to come into Super League let alone the championship. Its a pipe dream to think a club like Batley would get a wealthy backer and come a Cat B club. How can you plan as a Cat B club long term ?
This is a very poor option, the sport has never recovered after the last franchise. They should be putting more effort into bridging the gap between the champ and SL not widening it.'"
Hull's season was over by July under the current system too. You also played Rovers at least 5 times this season. Something needs to change.

Not even surprised.'"
While there’s no direct quote from an IMG representative, I’m holding out hope. Even then, I’ll be hoping new parent, sleep deprived and confused or something like that.
If it is true, at least it should fail swiftly. I think I’d find something else to do until it passed.

This sounds a lot less like they’ve suddenly lost the plot.
https://www.skysports.com/rugby-league/ ... relegation
As a minor quibble, I don’t see why all clubs shouldn’t be re-assessed annually (or, rather, on an ongoing basis to inform an annual decision). Tbf, they might mean that but only the assessments of those currently rated B are relevant to who is in Tier 1 and Tier 2. I know the focus is on improvement and growth, but ‘A’ has to be a standard to maintain as well as reach.

| Quote: Ornery Optimist "Widnes got promoted because of off-field reasons - and remained there while no relegation was happening.
Getting your excuses in before future potential fixtures because a club with all that broadcast money,and success over recent years still cannot sell out either their home stadium,or Old Trafford for a Grand Final.
Give that club a Category A!
Standard of Super League declined while St Helens won a bit of silverware....as for improving the national side...'"
St Helen’s. Still living rent free in your head lmao

| Quote: Budgiezilla "Why have the RFL paid a small fortune (I imagine) for IMG to make a few suggestions. If the RFL don't know what the answer is, then there is no hope for the sport in this country. Maybe IMG should be asked to help County Championship cricket as well, good luck with that. Like RL over here, it is what it is, and nothing will ever change.'"
I believe they've paid nothing and IMG will make their money if they get improved TV deals, sponsorships etc plus whatever profit they make by integrating RL into their own products
