AT the end of the 2024 season, IMG will release its full grading results for all 35 professional rugby league clubs.
Back in late 2023, the media giants – who were brought in to the sport to ‘re-imagine’ rugby league – released the indicative gradings for all of those clubs involved in the professional tiers of the sport.
Here is how those results fared with seven Grade A clubs at the time:
1. Leeds Rhinos – A – 17.49
2. Wigan Warriors – A – 16.87
3. St Helens – A – 16.78
4. Catalans Dragons – A – 16.73

11. Wakefield Trinity – B – 12.52
12. Leigh Leopards – B – 12.45
