so if these proposals are approved, Wakefield could finish 12th but lose their grade a licence due to losing the points for the championship play off win and 1865 cup and get relegated

Yes and then win them both again in 2026 and be an A grade club once more.

There's a proposal being tabled by the Batley owner that a GradeB winning the Championship would replace a GradeB who finishes bottom of SL but this is just an idea at the moment.

My understanding is if both a GradeB finishes bottom of SL and one wins the Championship it would come down to points score.

As far as grading with promotion and relegation goes, the Batley owners idea sounds one of the better ones.

It helps give the Championship clubs the dream that they can still make it to SL but downside is it probably encourages boom or bust spending again and also highly likely the spell in SL would be over after 1 year and then the successful squad dispands (such as London having barely anyone left now)

For me this IMG thing has served a short term purpose of giving clubs a rocket to sort their facilities out. Some things such as the state of Belle Vue should have been sorted 20 years ago...but that's about the only success so far and I fear at the end of seasons we are going to see articles full of stats and what ifs rather than people actually talking about the rugby

Have to say with every time Myler speaks I am impressed. There's a real sense of realism in his words and no selling of false promises which we have been subjected to all these years.

Agree, and judging by the reaction from the fans who attended last weeks forum they realise it as well.

8th would be significant progress and would lay a solid foundation challenging for the play-offs in 2026. It's going to be a long term project and we all must be patient.

I know it was pretty obvious anyway and Dan said from the off in the HDM but Myler confirms that Rapana has been specifically brought in to play fullback.

We’ve had a lot of players in recent years who’ve seemingly had a pop at the club when leaving. If anyone could feel hard done by it would probably be Jack Walker and the position he finds himself in, but noticed he’s been quite complimentary. As alluded to in the article, Myler knows how to deal with players and players will have a certain level of respect for him and what’s he’s achieved as a player. All due respect to Clarkey and AP it just seems a better environment having a real rugby man dealing with these things.
