IMG Announce Proposed Criteria for Super League 2025 IMG today presented to the RFL Council the recommended grading criteria to define how Super League, RFL Championship and League One clubs will be assessed starting from 2025, as part of the Reimagining Rugby League plans.
Based on a combination of on and off-field variables, the proposed grading criteria are designed to collectively increase clubs' fanbases, diversify revenues, drive investment into clubs and the sport in a sustainable manner, run clubs in a best-in-class way and ensure strong governance is in place.

It is hardly Rugby League reimagined. Below is the list of criteria for SL licensing for 2009-2011:
Facilities
Teams will get one point for having a stadium with a capacity of 12,000 or more. Another point will be awarded if the ground meets the standards of a premier competition in the 21st century.[13]
Attendances
A point will be awarded to clubs with an average attendance of around 10,000 spectators. Another point will be awarded if stadiums are operating at 40 per cent capacity.[13]
Finances
Teams will receive a point if they are solvent. Another point will be awarded if their turnover is more than £4 million.[13]
Player strength
Teams earn one point if they are considered to have made a contribution to the competition - that means averaging a place in the top eight over each of the last three seasons. Another point is available to clubs who make a contribution to home-grown player development. That means at least eight members of a first-team squad of 25 should be discovered, trained and developed in the team's home country (United Kingdom or France).[13]
Salary cap
One point is on offer to teams who have not committed a major breach of the salary cap in the last three seasons.[13]
Geographical expansion
The final point goes to clubs who do not have another rugby league club within a 20-mile radius
