That's not the point I was making, no clubs league position should be dictated or affected by , social media clicks, genuine accounts or otherwise. Last I heard rugby League is a sport and the number of games you win should determine your final league placing or what division you play in.

Alas, that ship has sailed. No point clinging to it now.

From what I am hearing they are already trying to tweek the criteria due to London catching them out, hence the delay in announcing the 'scores' . I don't think it will be too long before the ship has to return to port for a serious refit.

Depends where you are hearing it from I guess.

I'd put a wager on to say it won't change this year.
They may well tweek it in future but it isn't going back to P&R I can guarantee you that.

The whole point is that if clubs don't get their act together they'll be playing a semi pro sport. That's why they need to adhere to these changes or be left behind.

Really good article by the try line on X/Twitter about Londons promotion and the big headache it has caused both the RFL and IMG

But they are using our name and logo to get clicks and potentially money, so they could actually be prosecuted if we wanted to.

There is some media rules in Super League. Not sure if they apply now.

Think they get about 50 likes or so , so never going to retire easily ,but wakefields lack of exposure in this area has left the door open for someone to exploit . Like it or loath it , it certainly is a thriving platform and one we would be silly to ignore , especially the exposure it would give our club towards the younger end

He's spoken about making a Wakefield Trinity App, I remember him saying he'd spend about 200k on that in his Total Rugby League 2-part interview.

I reckon a guy who runs a huge company, that does its business online will be well-placed to see where we are lacking in the social media department.

I think that is the key point the new owners will take us to another level when it comes to marketing / social media etc. We will no longer be relying on enthusiastic amateurs to do their best with very a limited budget but will have experienced professionals driving us forward.

Simple answer, they will change the rules. We've all followed this sport long enough to realise not every team is treated equally haven't we?

Cas trying to offload Albert Vete on loan for the season…would be ok at Championship level for a season possibly?
