Bradford are going to secure a place in the IMG 12 according to one or two journos on Twitter,who are usually there or thereabouts.

How can they be above York and Toulouse in the IMG gradings, even if Salford fall out of SL? Finished in the same spot as 2024, ground still below RFL standard I believe and crowds not substantially increased, in a ground with a capacity of 22,000.
Just where have they improved?
With Nigel's hand in all of this, I really do not want Bradford to get into SL this year It will send the wrong message about the sport.
@frankg I don't know Frank and I'm not interested enough to learn the intricacies of it all.
It could send exactly the true state of the UK game tbh!!!
The flim flam of numbers of press parking places etc may appeal to the publicity gurus but is just smoke and mirrors.
The truth is that the game cannot finance itself.
Last year showed the figures supplied by clubs to calculate the IMG ratings can be fudged. That's where Widnes slipped up, not being savvy enough. It's all very vague and doesn't look or sound particularly validated to me.

As I've mentioned elsewhere, whoever is in / omitted, on Thursday's, and Friday's announcements, there's gonna be shouts of "Why?" "Bent!" "Fix!" et al, but..........
If (when?) the Bulls get the nod, I can't imagine there'll be much (if any) agreement from the non-Odsalites amongst us!
I personally, can't see what benefit(s) they would / could / will bring to SL, but conversely, I'll be surprised if they don't have HKR / FC / Pies etc on their fixture list next term!
Not long to wait now!
Spelly.
Have I imagined it, or did I read that Sport England were concerned about the governance of RFL?

Just reading that their stadium has been upgraded in the ratings so they are in for sure
10 tomorrow
Love Rugby League reporting that Bradford above Salford, Huddersfield and Castleford in the IMG ranking. Salford out.
Hope someone double checks the IMG scoring!!!! A disgrace to the game of RL.
It is a disgrace, a total stitch-up. No-one should be surprised though.
