They'd go from a 7th, 7th, 11th average, to a 7th, 11th, 11th average.

2021 7 3.3333
2022 7 3.3333
2023 11 2.8889 3.1852 3-year ave
2024 11 2.8889 3.0370 3-year ave
0.1481 drop

I agree. But that isn't the end of the calculation.

Once that is done, the teams are reordered into a league table and given a new score.
So last time 3.1852 put them in 9th so were allocated 3.11, with Hull and Leigh below them.

This year Leigh will be much higher and Hull I think will just scrape above over the average, putting Cas in 11th.
So the actual points for the IMG score drops 0.22

IMG seem to have brought in an environment where clubs are making strides both on and off the pitch, which is clearly a good thing but, the fine margins as to whether a club is in or out of SL next season is getting quite ridiculous and it's not "sport" anymore.

The sooner that we can achieve a grade A the better.

.... and maintain.

0.22 is bigger than 0.15.

Are you are saying that 7/11/11 averages as 9.666, and it's that calculation that is re-ranked and then attributed the performance score?

In that scenario, we would be 10/12/13 = 11.666, so you are looking at whether another club could/would drop in between and change the 3 year rankings?

Edge of the seat stuff is this.

A slow death indeed...

Yes

Cas as 7/11/11 would be 3.3334 + 2.8889 + 2.8889 = 9.1114
Average over 3 years is 3.0371

This is the one area that's difficult to predict as you need to know where your team will finish but also where everyone else will finish.

Hull for example had 8/9/10 last time to give a score of 3.11 which put them lower than Cas. But if Cas finish 11th they would have to finish 10th to equal the score or higher to beat them.

In our case, the best we can get is 10/12/13 and that 13th ranking is calculated after the playoffs so if you are 5th but lose in the GF you are ranked as 2nd or 14th in the long list.
But there are additional bonus points for cup winners. Those points aren't included in the average. They are added for one year only.

It's hard to go through this without showing the spreadsheet.
Sorry to all those finding this boring. If I get chance I'll move it to another thread to keep this one about Cas redevelopment.

0.22 is bigger than 0.15.
Not if Cas are doing the maths

Yes, I know.

I'm hoping you have done the maths on the latest situation!

I have but you've got to guess everyone else's position.

Best case for us, we come top and win GF and 1895
Cas come 11th or 12th
Salford and Huddersfield down at bottom as well

And Toulouse don't do well in playoffs

Well Toulouse will gain nothing from the 1895 cup.

You would of thought that they might of had a pop at this competition just for the IMG points

Cas remind me of us in 2019. A squad not deep in talent unlikely to win many games, and may never quite shake off London.

Cas should be better than London, but London have just played last years grand finalists and not been hammered. Beaten, but not hammered. Cas have played a distracted Wigan at home and Salford. I can't see Cas getting many wins, if any, and it will only take a couple of unexpected London wins to make them nervous.

£2m community funding put to good use!

Don't know if your comment is tongue in cheek but only a fraction of the £2 million has gone on the seating. Much more to come.

Looks fine to me

It does look much better, it would have looked amazing in 1989

Personally I think if there’s an option of a roof, cladding and facelift of west stand along with putting a ground level refreshment stand/s in that would be sufficient.

I’d much rather us look to increase capacity and improve facility further in the north if considerable money is to be spent. Also, things that guarantee points like the e LED boards would be high on the list. With superleague funds added I could imagine Ellis would be able to take this club even further on and off the field.

Assuming Toulouse make the playoffs...

Fair play to Cas, they've seem to have done a decent job on a budget with the seating, looks quite tidy actually. Does anyone know what the terracing in that stand was like? From memory walking down it, it wasn't great .
