Obviously pleasing to secure our status, but let's face it those seven clubs (along with Huddersfield and Leigh) were virtual shoe-ins for a SL spot, the competition (and the sport in general) simply can't prosper without them.

As long as we're one of the top twelve, that's all that really matters, although I'm sure our neighbours will be creaming themselves at scoring marginally higher than us!

It looks as though, reading the article, that Salford, Wakefield, Toulouse and Castleford will be scrapping for the remaining 2025 spots in the league. No wonder Cas sound worried by these developments.

Are the breakdowns for each clubs grading anywhere?

I think Leigh might be in trouble - they’re unlikely to get the bonus for winning the cup again.

Most likely scenario seems to be Toulouse replace London and the trio of Leigh, Cas and Wakey are left contending for the two remaining spots for 2025.

Maybe the leopard rebrand has boosted Leighs engagement and viewing figures...another season playing in super league will further boost their score. Wakey have the benefit of winning the championship and possibly the 1895 cup, can see Cas missing out in 2025 unfortunately

Beaumont will go ballistic if Leigh are downgraded to non-SL status! His rants about the video ref, officialdom and general running of the game as a whole will be nothing compared to his reaction to Leigh being booted out.

I wouldn't like to be the one who had to break that news to him! We will probably be able to hear him in Hull nevermind anywhere else!

Looking increasingly likely we'll have a 14 team league in 2025

Congratulations on being ranked the 7th biggest club in Super League.

You've just won me a tenner. Cheers Bob!

Curious as to whether the criteria is based on empty seats or unsold tickets. Get the netting out Adam.

Seems its capacity of ground, and as we open it for the derby its 25k (or 23k inckuding segregation)

Bit of a baffling metric, can only assume it was to try and pre empt clubs hiring big grounds just to tick the stadium box.

14 teams is the way to go for me, the sooner these boring loop games go the better.

I know lets remove 10000 seats before every home game
IMG are a joke.
Lets get back to playing rugby and make sure its what happens on the field that counts.
These idiots have backed themselves into a corner now London have been promoted and their only way out is to increase S/L to fourteen clubs which from a finance point S/Lclubs wont let it happen.
Ill say it again when the RFL wake up to this IMG nonsense and see their imput is worth diddly squat this 12 year deal will be over in three

probably put Grade A on the shirts now

but winning the Championship didnt do Featherstone any good with a 10.65 grading
