Just read on twitter there's 5.

                 So Warrington Wigan Leeds Catalan Saints with Hull FC and Hull KR almost there.

Looks like cas have made a mess of their data 

[MattSantos]

It's a flipping shambles. Already.

Reads to me that they've made a mess of their data, and are annoyed at the RFL for not fixing their mess.

And the RFL.

Begs the question, why wasn't this sorted days ago?

Agreed, how long have they had to file this? If they can't get it right they should face a penalty, no doubt.

And this is just the indicative ratings. At what point will final ratings and the 12 SL teams for 2025 be confirmed? Must be earlier than this? And what is the appeals process?

[OdsalBull]

Well having looked at the gradings lets get a 14 team league ASAP 

[MattSantos]

Bradford above Fev. By 1.5 points...!

The rfl didn't realise until 7.30 last night and told Cas they were getting a lower score by phone call.

Cas should have sent the right info (a missing data line apparently) but you can't send one score to a club and publish a different one.  The final assessment should have been done before clubs were notified not after the appeal period had expired.

Position of London seems a bit off?

If I were DH - I might walk away based upon that, although he loves the sport.

 

Below Doncaster ffs?

Rightly so the criteria is the criteria 

[DI Keith Fowler]

That London score is shockingly low. 

[phiggins]

So looking at the gradings, if Cas are correct in what they say about being incorrectly docked half a point, if this was the system to determine the 12 SL teams for next season, Leigh would be relegated off the back of a Challenge cup win, a Super League play off place, and average crowds over 7,000. Whilst Wakefield stay up with London ranked 24th.

This does feel like something that is well intentioned, but ultimately counter productive.

Yup - feels BS to me.

Runs a women's team, academy, catchment area and is in SL - but is below Barrow.

 

Really?

Having worked with companies like IMG - the idea they are imbued with any innate ability has always been suspect.

This suggests the whole thing is a massive waste of time to me.

Some hope of London in SL in 2025 and one of them was calles Bob!

That would be insania.

Geez some of those seem well off on the face of it and don't seem to reflect the strength of a club at this moment in time.

Would seem pretty much impossible to jump 12 places in 12 months, which begs the question. What's the point of a season in SL for London? Can't blame them for keeping players part time.

A fag paper above Swinton.

Ponder that for a moment.

And then query if IMG should be in charge of running a bath.

[MattSantos]

What are the chances of a 1 hour Question Time style programme on SKY to review all of this?

I'd watch it..
