How often has the promoted team actually stayed up after being promoted, and how many different clubs have have actually been promoted from the championship? The idea that relegation means it gives the teams at the bottom something to play for for longer doesn't seem to be accurate.

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 |
