Thanks

So Superleague 2025 will be made up of all the A grades plus (up to 12 teams) the highest grading points scoring B grades irrespective of which league they were in in 2024.

Yes.

Effectively each year is assessed independently. If in 2025 we are in the top 12 clubs on IMG points, then we are in.
It's possible a team that doesn't achieve the points would drop out from the current 12. Doesn't have to be Toulouse.
And alternatively, 2 teams from championship could be promoted if they get the points.

6 or 7 can be confident they are in. Next 4 probably know but there's is up for grabs.

Let’s all have a laugh at how successful we have been

Games. Won. Lost Win %. Points Diff
2021 - 25. 9. 15. 36. - 66
2022. 27. 10. 17. 37. - 151
2023. 27. 4. 27. 15. - 439

What a recent history of success, how proud you must be plus to pay so much but to be given so little in return. It would make you laugh if it wasn’t so serious

Who are you aiming that at?
No one is laughing about our performances. Some just realise it is hard work and a lot of money to lift out of it.

Just another thing I’m not sure of with IMG criteria. Next week we have London v Toulouse in the playoffs for SL, but after this season, a team doesn’t get into SL by winning the championship playoffs, so my question is, will there still be a championship top six playoff if the winner doesn’t automatically qualify for SL.

I'm very skeptical about this rating system. I think London or Toulouse could play in a car park and IMG would probably give them more points than us next season to keep moving forward with the magical expansion.

There's no 'giving points' The criteria is set.

And IMG only set the guidelines. RFL decide your score.

Yes. Well for now but yes.

Winning the league and then the GF earns you IMG points.

For example. If you finish bottom of super league you get 2.77 points.
If you finish top of Championship you get 2.55 points.

But the championship side also has a chance of an extra 0.25 points for winning GF. So the playoffs are important to get a little lift over the lowest side in SL

- that's done over a 3 year average though.

Ironically, a team getting GF and promoted into SL, dropping back the year after and then getting GF again would have 2.86 points whereas the team who got 11th 3 years running would get 2.88.

In reply to PT those who find it funny about the implications of being relegated. I wonder how funny you would think it was if we didn’t now have the backing of Ellis and had to rely on the Chairman following the departure of our CEO.
I doubt when the incumbents put this squad together they did so knowing that a new owner was going to take over and save us from their on field decisions.

Change the record please scarlet. It is getting really really old now. We already well know your thoughts probably better than yourself at this stage. Everyone is looking forward and moving on but you it seems.

I really hope this goes through so you can join us and share in some positivity.

You've lost me Scarlet. I've seen no one "finding it funny"

Let's try and move on. We are in a new division with a soon to be new team and new owner.

No funnier than the previous 4 times we've been relegated nor the times we've had winding up orders, CVAs or CCJs against us. All of those previous instances happened before you appeared as Michael Carter's stalker so maybe you missed them. Hopefully when he finally retires you can follow him into the sunset.

If you want to continue this on, by all means PM each other.
It's a tired argument now so let's not keep posting it for the rest of us to haven't skip over.

But, we have.


So give it a rest.
For god's sake.

That "IGNORE" button still works for me...I've just tried it again

That pimpernel has been 'hooked ' on MC for nigh on 10 years, and he's now showing serious withdrawal symptoms.Can't put up with 'it' anymore.Another for the ignore button!

Jai Whitbread signed a 3year deal with HKR

They've got a good one there. Not on the field enough this year though. We're we holding on for a fee?

Good player but never on pitch enough and like most of the overseas players no value for money for me.

Couldn't agree less. He gave massive return on his contract. Way more than all the other OSPs but Fifita and sometimes even then.

When on the field he was outstanding, this season we really missed him. Anyhow we did get a fee at least. https://twitter.com/AaronBower/status/1 ... 5419162859

Well thats your opinion to me value is when he plays games.the guy as been in england 2 half years and been relegated twice too

I think that is rather Harsh. He has probably been our best prop since he arrived except for Fifita. I do think that he wasn't anywhere near his best towards the end of the season however so maybe his head had been turned.

Went well when Poaching was Coach ,We are in the Championship so no point in knocking any player who leaves to join a S L team ,Just gets a thanks from me..Just seen the highlights of the two S F in the Championship and the ball movement ,and speed of the players,was a lot faster than anything we played this season., owner and Coach have a hell of a job in front of them
