ADDITIONAL STATEMENT ON IMG INDICATIVE GRADING

Following on from the Clubs Statement regarding the IMG 2023 Grading scores and for further transparency, the Board felt it right and proper to provide our loyal fans, sponsors and all involved with the Club the opportunity to see a breakdown of illustrative grading pillars for the period 2021-2023 (Finance 2020-2022 due to account year end).

Our Finance rating for the 2023 season has already increased albeit this will not be taken into consideration until the next grading in August 2024. It is also worthy of note that Fandom has also increased from our initial grading in early 2023 due to the implementation of strategies developed in late 2022 straight after the IMG proposal was signed off by the RFL Council. For the avoidance of any doubt the grading scores are calculated over a three year average which limits the opportunity to make significant gains in short order.

The Board remain steadfast in their approach to implement initiatives to improve all aspects of the business.

We’re committed to Advancing The Revolution and Welcoming a New Era – The Blue World Order. Together, we grow stronger
