Anyone know when the IMG scores come out? Would be good to hear and update from the meeting Matt had with them and how we are looking for the grade, I think he expected around 14.5

After season has finished. I highly doubt you will hear much about any behind the scenes meetings. A lot of what will be discussed will be confidential and club specific that clubs won’t want other clubs to know.

Guess so team need to maintain a poker face and keeps scores predicted quiet.

Absolutely. All clubs will have an idea I would imagine but it would make no sense to release information outside of a select few or the club.

I don't know a date but they can't publish final numbers until after the GF as those points are included in the score.

A poor state of affairs for clubs to future plan unless of course you are grade A

Couldnt agree more how do you plan if your not sure which league your in and i would say theres about about 6 teams fight for what 4 places

Yet if you listen to the matt ellis interview On west yorkshire sport in march JD asks the question when will you find out matt reply was no date set yet butbefore the end of the season and even says it kind of makes the playoffs pointless

Well one of us has it wrong.
We'll see how it turns out.

From memory, I'm sure I've read somewhere that all clubs were going to get an interim indicative score update in June/July

Im not wrong has im not saying when it is i just posting what mr ellis said regards the matter( 15-17 mins into the interview)although i dont think clubs should have to wait until october.with regards waiting till the GF yes it may matter with regards the championship teams but its highly likley the team winning the sl grand final will be a top grade a anyway

I meant one of either Matt Ellis or me is wrong.

Daft as it sounds, knowing in June /July could spur clubs on, knowing what they have to achieve to get the extra points.

See my earlier post

Knowing where you are generally is a good idea.
But the performance points are important.
It could be the difference between an A and a B for Hull.

When Matt was talking on Sunday he said he was in touch with ING every week and he was confident of 2 more points .in the ratings Did he not say that he was after a high B ground by end of season

14.5ish so no.

Above Salford and the Farts though, don't see how their scores will massively improve (baring a CC win).

Shows how poor rugby league is run there will be around 6 or 7 teams not knowing which league there in until end of october how are the clubs supposed to prepare

We know we are expected to score 4.5 and Cas think 4.1 this is the scores for around our area

8. Salford Red Devils – B – 13.80 – Super League

9. Huddersfield Giants – B – 13.49 – Super League

10. Toulouse Olympique – B – 12.97 – Championship

11. Wakefield Trinity – B – 12.52 – Championship

12. Leigh Leopards – B – 12.45 – Super League

Championship
13. Castleford Tigers – B – 12.16 – Super League

Not heard much about what Leigh, Toulouse Hudds and Salford are doing to improve

For me will be London down Toulouse stay in Champ and us to replace London

I can see the same tbh. With the last grading is not having any east stand etc and likely improvements there and finances I can see us being in the SL next season.

Still work to be done and to give ourselves every chance we need to secure the guaranteed points where possible.

The LED boards are guaranteed and I’d be having them in before the gradings to submit. Might cost a bit but if it helps secure SL money instead of championship it will pay back somewhat.

Otherwise we just need the performance points to give us the edge.

Interesting point on attendances, it will be "Real" numbers rather than season tickets plus walk in and away fans. Not to much as a blow for us are we would struggle to hit 7,500 but for Cas it's a blow as the match attendances are over 7.5k but real attendance will be under so they will only hit the score for over 3,500

The points for electronic ad boards is very small. So I guess clubs are wondering if it's worth it. Just checked it's 0.125
