   You should know them already same as this season apart from Wakey in London out.

And probably TO in for either Cas or Leigh based on the indicative grading.

If either of them get kicked out for TO it will be the final nail in the coffin for me.

Gosh. A bit extreme. There's so much to live for. Don't do it...talk to someone.

The "Dark Ages" is a term referring to life at the RFL under the new regime. It's characterized by a decline in openness, professionalism, transparency and  achievements,

I mean, yes they will, unless something drastically changes in the gradings.

Cas seem to think their stadium improvements and fixing the error on the finances score will see them home. If it's all as they say it is, they're probably right.

Toulouse's on-field performance score will slip slightly as 2024 replaces 2021, and Leigh's will rise slightly for the same reason. 

Maybe Leigh's stadium utilisation and foundation scores will also tick up slightly. 

But none of the above will move by much due to 3-year averages so it's going to be a nailbiter for Leigh, and you can imagine how that will go down if they end up losing out!

That's a very narrow minded view from someone that claims to want to see France Rugby League do well. 

Why would it be 'the final nail in the coffin' if TO deservedly got in ahead of Leigh or Cas?

How Toulouse can even be in the conversation for SL 2025 is beyond me, I’d like to see a full breakdown of their scoring as I just don’t see any area they outscore any SL teams, in fact they are comparable to London for me.

Toulouse are in the conversation based on the scoring of IMGs criteria. If they are in SL they would fully deserve to be there.

I too would be interested to see the breakdown, but I guess it's because they have very strong financials, a great stadium and fall in the same crowd bucket (3k-7k) as their rivals, and have either been SL or top two in the championship the last three years. Plus their foundation efforts are at least as good as Cas and Leigh. 

London's on field performance can't match that, nor the crowds apart from this year.

Edit: Plus TO gain an extra 0.5 for catchment....

That is precisely it. They are roughly in lime with these clubs at the moment.

Leigh are expecting a significant increase in their financial score. With a number of loans being written off or converted to sponsorships.

All the clubs at the bottom of SL + at least Wakey think there scores have improved. Someone will be disappointed.

Yes, both Wakefield and Cas will see an increase to their stadium scores and likely increases to finance scores. Those, and Leigh have all said they expect a score above 14. 
 

What is unknown is what Toulouse have been able to do to improve their financial scores

Toulouse is in France. Empty Stadium and has Sun. 

Get them in eh?  Oh, and they battered Wakey! 

If Toulouse get anywhere near a sniff it's wrong!

Somewhere near the beginning of this thread are the scores for all clubs. You can compare & contrast to your heart’s content

You don’t mean the IMG criteria that all clubs are scored against do you?

It’s almost like some are looking for a conspiracy theory that doesn’t exist
