Good to hear Cake has been getting support from Jamie Langley. I've seen Danny Ward at the Cherry Red several times but perhaps not since he took over at Cas. I wonder what his plans are. He turned down a permanent role at Cas so perhaps he is wanting to remain in the South.

I would have Jamie Langley back. I am sure he was a major part of the success under Danny Ward.

He seems to be doing well at Sale taking over as defence coach from Mike Forshaw at the start of the year.

It is reported that London Broncos are in for Brenko Lee. The Dolphins centre.
He was expected to sign for Catalan, however that fell through and he is now on our radar.

I think this makes sense. Hopefully we see the majority uptake on full-time deals. https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/ex ... per-league

The Highbrid mix squad of full and part time is a risk, but good on the club for doing it. Those players that won promotion and don't want to or can't go full time deserve the chance to prove themselves. Far to easy to just buy in a squad and sack off the rest. The IMG plans will drive a lot of clubs decision making this year though

If it is true, that IMG are not changing any of their objective scoring criteria, then how on earth can Broncos earn enough points to finish high enough to remain in SL even if they won the comp. Something that was mooted by Steve Mascord yesterday I believe.

If I understand the grading then in theory if they get a B grading then they are in the mix. Nothing been said about different levels of B. Reckon there will be 5 or 6 A grade teams. Rest in SL B TOxiii B wakey B Rest just don't know

There's a lot of opinions and conjecture out there about the gradings and where London may or may not be. We may well struggle to acrue enough points to stay in SL in 2025 as it stands, but there's a long time between now and then. Let's see how it plays out and where IMG/RFL go with things. I wouldn't be counting anything in or out.

Even if we don't make the grade for 2025, we would theoretically be a high scoring Category B club for 2026.

With illustrative ratings to be published soon we will have an idea where we are but perhaps with little opportunity to change things. We should gain a B rating but I doubt we would be ranked among the top 12 A and B ranked teams.

In which areas do you see us significantly changing our ranking over the next couple of years ?

I think we would be close to scoring maximum points for performance given this season.

I see engagement increasing too. Already noticed the social media feeds with an uptick this week.

Might be my complete misreading of course. I guess we'll have a good idea when the indicative grades emerge.
