Being a grade A is no guarantee of staying in super league

I thought it was, have i misunderstood the grading?

Or are you alluding to financial problems in the game? (Apologies if I'm being daft)

Can you imagine the p*ss that would be boiled if Wood was re-appointed at the RFL and then he fast tracked us back to Super League. Only in Rugby League could this happen.

If there are more than 12 teams with a grade A img rating, and they do not expand the league, then the lowest rated team would then drop out.

I take your point.... I just looked at the IMG recommendations and they say.....
"Category A' clubs will be guaranteed participation in the top tier......' but the superleague clubs keep ignoring the IMG recommendations (i.e. refusing to scrap loop fixtures) and indeed it seems likely they will refuse expansion recommendations too. I'm not sure what the point of hiring IMG was/is.
