My understanding is that we've dropped a place in the performance table (below Cas I think). This equates to a loss of 0.118pts (according to an article I read a few weeks back).
If that is indeed the case then unless we've improved our score elsewhere we are looking likely to fall below the A grade threshold.

I guess the positive from this is that we can't fall much lower within this particular criteria score, think only Wakefield can realistically overtake us over the next couple of years, so we should improve this aspect fairly soon, hopefully!!

Any losses due to poor performance will be countered by gains in other areas . We can all see just how much the club have been active in the social media because of the points on offer for its use .
I also agreed with TS about the clubs that have strong academies should also have points awarded .

We can't afford another dismal season next year , That could see us in real danger of been overtaken .

Even if we drop to gradeB we will still be one of the better GradeB's. We're also not the only club with issues, crowds and performance down at Huddersfield for example.

Overall there aren't a strong set of Championship clubs ready to step up. Bradford example have lost a lot of the fanbase and it remains to be seen if Odsal can be profitable. I don't think the clubs want Toulouse right now due to the travel costs, and can't see SKY being keen either as they can't sell subscriptions in France.

TO has already been paying the travel cost of championship teams , Catalans from next season will now be footing the bill for SL clubs travel costs awell .

However bad we are, there's no way on earth the struggling sport that is rugby league can afford to choose to reject a club with upwards of 10K support.

Maybe not, but gauging the discontent amongst fans I’d say we are still some positive investment news and a couple of signings away from being close to 10K crowds for next season anyway just don’t think it will happen, Start again on the pitch like the last two seasons and more people will just walk away for good and then it all falls apart.

Can't imagine what these would be. It'll be a B grade surely?

That's why I would be keen to see a breakdown of the scores. We definitely won't be getting top marks for performance nor finances but can we hit top marks on fandom, stadium and community (worth 10.5) maybe? And then pray that finances and performance scrape us the other 4.5 points between them?

Yeah idk either but given how marginal it was and we've lost playing points I just don't know what would have improved.

Some people worry too much.

With Litten, he didn't play much this season, but probably our best performance of the season, the victory over Wigan, he was a stand out player for us that day and he only came of the bench.

That's what we do, we write them off early. Like Jez Litten and Dean Hadley, who'll both be playing in the showpiece game this Saturday.

Apparently we need some Australian who can't get a game down under, instead.

Was reading about the Melbourne side in the run up to the NRL grand final last week, would make his head spin. They have a deliberate policy of looking for and giving players a chance who’ve been dumped/rejected elsewhere and even worse do the unthinkable of trying those players in different positions to what they are supposed to be specialist in.

No better example than halfback Jahrome Hughes. NRL player of the year halfback was dumped by the Cowboys and Gold Coast playing only two NRL games until he was 23, Played all his junior career at fullback and didn’t play as a halfback until he was 25.

It’s absolutely mental that looking for a long term Billy Slater replacement Melbourne decided to target players who could play a bit of halfback as well as fullback and had been rejected by other clubs. They signed Jahrome Hughes, Cam Munster, Papenhuyzen, Nicho Hynes and Scott Drinkwater.

I’ve never been a ‘play the youngsters at all cost’ type of fan, but there’s absolutely no argument that the most successful sides on both sides of the world have the most faith and patience with young players.

Absolutely spot on, the internet expert is not always right give these kids a chance.
