2024 Championship, L1 and other comps

[warriors 95]

Toulouse v Wakefield, should be a good final. Toulouse all to play for, a win could give them enough points to get a higher B grade and be back in SL!
Not sure if we can watch it anywhere in Oz?

Nope, IMG ratings determines place.

So there’s a possibility that the loser could be promoted?

Predicting the 12 teams who will be in Super League in 2025 - Serious About Rugby League

We might still be in the 2024 season but the 2025 campaign is one that is set to be historic with the make-up of the three Rugby League divisions in England being determined by grading and not simply on-field performance. As such there will likely be plenty of movement between Super League and...

If Toulouse win I expect superleague to deny them entry into comp because teams don't want spot to go to french club.

If that happens then Toulouse should just pack it up and concentrate on elite1.

Got nothing to do with if they win (other than the 0.25 points bonus). If they score enough to be in the top 12 of the grading they will be back in SL, all be it with a requirement to pay travel expenses. it will be up to them if they want to meet that requirement and take their place in SL.

There's no money or kudos in elite 1, hence why they want to be in SL.

I get that but if they are rejected where do they go from here?

as long as they are willing to pay the travel they wont be rejected, they were in SL two seasons ago.

Hopefully they are even though they shouldn't have to.

That being said I don't think they'll beat Wakefield so unless super league goes to 13/14 teams they won't be paying anything

they wont beat wakey but they will be pushing Cas close for the 12th place you'd think. The extra 0.25 points if they can win at the weekend could well be the difference!

2023 indicative grades:
10. Toulouse Olympique – B – 12.97 – Championship
11. Wakefield Trinity – B – 12.52 – Championship
12. Leigh Leopards – B – 12.45 – Super League
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13. Castleford Tigers – B – 12.16 – Super League
14. Bradford Bulls – B – 12.02 – Championship

Cas put out a statement saying they expect to increase their score to around 15, though that may be optimistic.

Big blow for the Bulls tonight. Coach, Eamon O’Carrol, resigns. He’s been offered a job on coaching staff with a SuperLeague team. Not announced where yet, but probably a Lancashire club.

Wakefield blow Toulouse off the park 36-0 in the championship final.

in all likelihood there goes Toulouse’s hopes of SL next year.

All depends on what happens to London and whether super league expands to 13/14 teams.

It wont expand, London's got nothing to do with it.
Toulouse are competing with Cas, Wakey, Bradford and Leigh for a top 12 grading score

London could soon go out of business.

They could, pack of cards sadly. There is a reason they are ranked 24th! It needs someone who can actually grow the club, its fanbase and its revenue, not just throw good money after bad.
