I've been a season ticket holder for 60 years and I remember the grim times in the 80's. I'm not like some on here who seem to have a personal vendetta against board members. That is only dividing the fans not galvanising them. I'll be there next season and every season supporting the team.

However, if there is a time to be relegated I agree with Minards that this time we are more likely to succeed on IMG points than we are game winning points.

The moment it looks like a club who aren't currently in Super League will get an A grade is the moment they will change the grading criteria and weighting to stop it happening.

Clearly that is not true, they want as many A grades as they can. But Championship teams are aiming for a high B.

The aim is that the A grade is achieved by being balanced across all metrics, the moment a club tries to game the system by fielding a weak team and investing in other areas to gain the A grade will force them to review the grading criteria and weighting as having a poor team with a shiny stadium will negatively impact the perception of the sport as a whole and likely affect future revenue.

We've already seen a reduced TV deal, that deal will get even smaller if super league is full of low quality teams who have gamed the criteria to achieve promotion

I get your point but where all the top players going to go?
But yes I can see them weighting the playing side one day but only when they have a league full of As.
I reckon it'll be 10 years with every team hitting their targets perfectly to get that.

Read the full interview on the Trinity website and it’s a good interview.

I have got a copy of the official IMG grading form today, it's in excel format. Includes points for number of tik tok clicks amongst other things. Its layout is amateurish and to think this is the best IMG can come up with beggars belief. I can't believe the game is so desperate to go down this route
