In a recent interview I'm sure ME said he was expecting a high 14

Its just my opinion but I think it is going to be very close IMG points wise between us, Cas, Salford, Leigh, Tolouse and I would even throw Huddersfield in there as well.

Ourselves and Cas have improved by a couple of points since last time but I dont see how Leigh, Salford and Huddersfield will get many more points than they already had. This means ourselves and Cas will be in their ballpark.

The unkown for me is Tolouse, I think they will score higher than people think and could be a threat.

We also have to remember that this is Rugby League so I would never rule out something bizzare happening or goalposts being moved last minute.

I think Leigh will be OK due to the financial structure they have implemented

They also have two good SL seasons in the bank and one excellent championship campaign rather than. Beaumont has converted his loans to revenue so they will be in the 14-15 range. I don't see where Toulouse score significantly more than last year.

Just wondering why you think Toulouse would score higher?

Their stadia hasn’t improved.

Their finishing position I think will decrease another year out of SL?

Their attendances were over 3k but they’re now averaging low 2k last 2 seasons so may have dropped below 3k. They certainly will next season if not this.

Can’t see where they would raise the ceiling. Think they did well to get the score they did but I don’t feel it will be easy for them to raise.

I think Leigh should be okay.

I honestly just think we will replace London and Toulouse will be 13th.

That 0.25 Bonus points for winning the playoffs could prove decisive to us or Toulouse.

Isn’t it just 0.1 for both the 1895 and Championship?

I think we would have also gone from 0.5 to 1.5 in stadia facility segment.

Plus, 0.25 on LEDs.

1.35 increase so far I think.

We also have over 100k I think subscriptions across platforms.

"Regular Season League Rankings" That gives us 2.6286 already for 13th place + 0.1 bonus for the 1895 cup win = 2.7286 already in the bag.

Toulouse could get 2.5143 for 14th place and also end up with 0.25 bonus from winning the playoff final = 2.7643

As you say I’d expect us to be around 11th/12th for last 3 years. Don’t think it’s possible we are outside 12th mathematically

I realise that but I'm just looking at improving our differential against probably our biggest rivals who were 0.45 points in front of us in that 2023 indicative table.

Facilities should see us score 1.5 instead of 0.5.

LED should see us gain either 0.125 or 0.25 depending on if screen was accepted in last Octobers scores.

Performance roughly will change very little once you factor too cuampionship + 1895/maybe final.

There may be other points to be had on finance.

I’m pretty sure I added all social platforms up and they come to over 100k now so that may see some increase too

Yes, we can't be lower than 12th, as no club below can average above that.

That 0.25 could well prove to be massive.

If we can hit 1.5 on the facilities then that should be enough alone with a full extra point. That is the one that will be massive to ensure we meet all points. 1 full point is huge and the priority.

And don't forget, we were already ranked in the top 12 - some clubs both above and below have some heavy lifting to do, to get/stay above us.
