IMG gradings put us the lowest B grade, in 24th place. We score 8.07, well below Newcastle surprisingly.

It's quite something for a club who won the Championship Grand Final to be ranked lower than a team who won't be competing next season, eh?
Any thoughts?

A call out to Coleman to get us L1 ready for 2025?

Looks a bit grim doesn't it? A lot of work for the club to get through.

When you look at the paltry attendance for Eng v Tonga, you wonder how any team in the North can grow the game by more than a few here or there. Completely Bizarre that we rate behind Newcastle. Even allowing for the club being crap for most of the last 10 years at least, there are others who have spent over a hundred years doing not a lot. While my vexation continues, can anyone explain how Toulouse score so well (pleased for them of course)?

Am I right in thinking the IMG grades were made before the season ended?

You would think so.

Hopefully done before Thunder went to the wall or they really are clowns.
In all seriousness, to greater or lesser extent and with louder and softer volume everyone, literally everyone, on this forum has said Broncos off field game is ‘sub par’. This merely confirms it. A bit of introspection may do us some good. If we perform better off field we’ll meet these new criteria assuming they last much into the future. The only concern has to be next season. It’s a real phaser. Is it really worth being in SL knowing as a fact we go down the following year come what may.

They are indicative gradings based on last year, they are not the final gradings for end of next season, so some will change. We will jump a couple of places newcastle aside, can't see us any higher than 19 or 20

I am happy to be told am wrong. But my understanding of league from 2025 is not going to be a total reset! Just A grade will be in SL.
Rest of SL clubs have to be a B grade. If we finished next year 11th we are still B grade so even tho lowest scoring B grade would keep our SL status. Like I say i could have it wrong and highest scoring B grades would make up remainder of the SL.
