| Quote wrencat1873="wrencat1873"Is there going to be promotion and relegation from SL next season or, will we have moved to the new IMG formula ?
Even though it would possibly mean a miserable season on field, if it's a case of ticking boxes "off field", maybe, we should spend whatever funds are available to ensure that we are one of the 12 clubs with a "higher grade" ?
It would be absolutely gut wrenching to finish 8,9,10 and still get dropped from the top flight.
Of course, the full criteria hasn't been agreed yet and no doubt, someone, somewhere, is working on a list of criteria to ensure that certain clubs are elevated up the pecking order ?'"
I believe promotion and relegation still applies. |

I agree with your thoughts, but I also think promotion/relegation is with us next season. |

Correct. It definitely still applies 2023. |

I listened to the full 80 minutes on YouTube last night. The main topic was IMG, and the problem with not announcing the criteria until the end of 2023 season. Craig Harrison the players agent believes the uncertainty at the moment has hurt the transfer market this off season, not just because clubs have less money, due to having to pay back the government Covid loans, poor season ticket sales and the fact that the demographic of RL fans age groups, amongst other things. One interesting point was that, if the promotion club next season was one who couldn’t achieve a better licensing grade than the relegated SL club then would the promotion club still be allowed into super league?. It’s understandable that some championship clubs aren’t spending money until IMG provide full details. |

Yes they would have if both clubs are B licence clubs. As I understand it if a B licence club finishes bottom of SL and a B Licence club finishes top of champ then they will be promoted/relegated as such. I wouldn’t have thought that a C licence club would be allowed entry even if they finish top. |

Are the A,B and C licensing just that, or A+ A - etc. promoted club gets a B- and relegated club B+, then what? |

So, 1 up 1 down next season and then the "all new" IMG plan ? |

Yes that’s it, the IMG changes do not kick in until the end of the 2024 season, however the club’s will know their ratings. |

In terms of retention, I think It`s concerning to hear when the club just don`t seem to let some players know at all what's going on when there contracts expiring, if I was a player that had the option of joining the club I would probably be put off by that kind of behaviour.

And you know that how? You seriously believe that's what happens?  |

I do, I have no idea why a player would just completely make it up to be fair. |

I am sure you will know if Croft and Shaw are staying if the club are so open in keeping the supporters for example up to date. I don’t remember them ever confirming Evans departure, why the secrecy only they will know. I suppose who you believe depends on your own view of the club, you for example support without question which is your choice, I don’t until they prove me wrong. |
