Quote: wrencat1873 "Those ground improvements could well be the difference in being a SL club and a Championship club after the IMG gradings take effect.
Our only on field "success" has been not getting relegated.'"
After this year, the IMG score is more valuable than anything else at the club.
If we can get to a 15 it allows us to develop without fear of relegation. It allows us to plan for a longer term rather than only half a season at a time.
And Minards has taken us closer to this than anyone has ever done, including Carter.
Players will be more inclined to come to a club that isn't nailed on for relegation, doesn't have to train at a nother club's facilities and can put the heating on in winter.
Even if we were champions this year, without the ground development and the work with other partners behind the scenes, we'd have still been behind the Leigh and Featherstones and probably Toulouse and London.
