We and others might not like the scores we receive to start.
However if we get our act together then we’re in a position to improve our score. Others not so…

The top clubs won’t question the concept because they will have or be very close to an A grade.
You’re right though the squabbling will start when clubs (could include us) don’t get the score they want come the 2025 season.

Also there are clubs IMOP have been very creative already where crowd figures are concerned! This is one area that we definitely need to get our act together for next season..
And in the championship we will need to have a winning team that will go along way to help us achieve that goal.

His wife doesn't want to uproot from London as the kids are settled and happy at school there. Its DOR Danny Wilson that does recruiting.

Could Applegarth be available?
Knows all the patter

Danny McGuire being mentioned, don't know what to think about that. I know it didn't work out with Mash but I think I'd give Lingard a shot.

The fuss will only arise when a Cat B team wins the championship but is prevented from coming up because a Cat A club finishes bottom (I think that's how it works). So, to get promotion, you have to win, but also get lucky with timing.

In the top flight, probably only really Cas who will be Cat B, and whoever goes up this year.

Salford Cat A club?

I think it will be a very long time before there are 12 cat A clubs. Fev certainly aren't. Not sure about Huddersfield or Salford either.

And winning championship literally gets you 0.1 less points than the bottom team in SL. If you win GF you get an extra 0.25 so not a winning score considering your engagement score will be lower.

Or Leigh
HKR are a high Cat B and are probably closets to making A grade out of the B's next being Hudds in SL (Wigan/Saints/Leeds/Warrington/Hull/Catalan being the nailed on CAT A's)

Cas will be going into next season in the same boat we sank in.

Correct
There’s talk of them cutting their playing budget for next season and so at the moment their squad doesn’t look great…
As the RWB Facebook post on here said .. they will be better spending what monies they have spare on doing their stadium up in an attempt to cobble together some more points

And that's why this whole new system is a joke. They only want clubs with cash and aren't as bothered about the quality of the rugby.

I’m not a fan of it either…
But we need to be all over the grading
The stadium and the investment gives us a chance

But the point is, great rugby without all the other stuff just degenerates.
You won't have a feasible enough club to pay for the great rugby. They'll all be playing in Oz or RU.

No, that's not how it works. Beyond the category A clubs (and I doubt there will be more than 5 or 6 of those to begin with) it's just who has the highest IMG points score amongst the category B clubs. So it could be, for example, the team finishing 3rd in the Championship replacing the team finishing 10th in SL (though in practice it will be hard for clubs that have been in the Championship to score higher than clubs that have been in SL).
