Bradford doing a lot of business at the moment, wonder if they think they're in with a chance of SL in 2025

Was he recalled to cover the injuries but then failed to show enough in training?
Think that's him as good as gone with them doing for a season long terms.

I'd never taken notice of his age before but at 27 he clearly isn't good enough. How much money have we wasted on our 2024 recruitment. Absolutely shocking

Brown, Pele and Diakhate already gone. Okunbor appears to have played his last game for the club.

Tindall and Walker are out of favour and there may be question marks over Smith's future with the Cust signing. Ashworth has impressed but looks like he'll finihs the season with just nine appearances.

Out of nine new signings only Ese'ese can be considered a great one.

Wakefield have quietly been told they are in S/L next season
The only chance Bradford or Toulouse have is if they increase S/L to 14 teams

Cas and Leigh scored very poorly on the preliminary
. Imagine Derek's outburst if they're not in SL next year

Cant see IMG lasting much longer so dont think Cas or Leigh have much to worry about

Club chairmen have limited IMGs impact, they're deciding the kick off times which leads to the situation we're in now where on a spoetless Thursday, there's no games on, but then multiple fixtures at once later in the weekend, and a clash with the Euros...the chairmen also wanted to keep magic and the loop fixtures despite Img saying they should go, and theyre trying to shaft Catalan despite Img seeing France as a growth area.

If IMG do stay, I'd worry if I were a hudds fan, I can't really see how their score gets any higher , the fans aren't increasing, finances won't get any better as Ken Davey is already one of the richest chairmen and their catchment area won't improve.

Cas seem to be going all out with their ground improvements and their chairman thinks they'll score max points for it...says a lot about IMGs grading criteria if Wheldon road scores full points, but you can credit IMG with making cas and Wakey do the improvements they wouldn't have done otherwise.

If IMG go, chairmen will moan when revenue drops...and another jairbrain restructure won't be too far off

Hilarious if cas score more points for their ground than us because we're less than half full despite getting bigger crowds than them

If, for any reason, Leigh were to be demoted at the end of this season, Beaumont will go nuclear!!!!
He will blame anyone and everyone he can possibly think of! but I reckon he would reserve a certain amount of splenetic rage to direct towards us! He'll blame it all on Hull Fc such would be his state of mind by that point.

Reckon we would hear the clap of thunder all the way across the Pennines to the fair city!!!

what is hilarious is that IMG see street food and burger vans at one end of a ground as innovative and ground breaking
So we can we now expect several S/L clubs to bulldoze a stand at one end of their ground to become innovative and gain IMG approval

Joint tenancy also reduces IMG stadium points doesn't it? If you have to have some of fixtures moved due to another tennant you lose points...cas don't have that problem, we do

You sure about that? Wigan are tenants, Saints have just recently moved in Liverpool Women. Pretty sure Leigh have other stuff going on at their gaff as well
