RFL chief executive Tony Sutton tells BBC Sport rugby league can enter a 'new phase' with grading changes.
Earlier in October, under Rugby League Commercial's 'Reimagining Rugby League' initiative, media giant IMG awarded clubs in Super League, the Championship and League One a grading.
Clubs were awarded points - and their grade - based on five categories: Fandom, Performance, Finances, Stadium and Community, with a maximum 20 points on offer. Asked whether the changes were a revolution, Sutton said: "It's definitely a new phase for the sport. It's really aimed at trying to grow standards across clubs and across venues and finances.
Featherstone Rovers, who voted against the proposals earlier this year and were ranked 15th out of 36 clubs, were also critical. One of the biggest surprises of the grading announcement was London Broncos' lowly rating of 24th. However, the club have committed to improve on their score as they prepare for the upcoming 2024 Super League season.When the grading announcement was made, by contrast, Toulouse were ranked 10th meaning they are likely to make a Super League return themselves in 2025.
