How many points every club’s IMG score has changed by after 2025 gradings reveal
Leeds Rhinos, Leigh Leopards, Wakefield Trinity and London Broncos are all among the biggest risers and fallers in the IMG scoring
The day and the announcement we’ve all been waiting for has come and been made. Clubs now know their IMG scores, and officially know which division they’ll be plying their trade in come 2025.
As expected, there are plenty of clubs happy with their latest grading and plenty who have been left to reflect on where they need to improve to get to where they want to be.
IMG awarded ‘provisional’ gradings and scores this time last year, and though they didn’t count for real, they gave clubs a good idea of where to target a rise in their scoring.
Here, we’ve used the scores from 2023 to work out – and rank – which clubs have seen their score increase, and decrease, the most over the last 12 months.
There should be 35 clubs in the ranking, but due to Batley Bulldogs and Whitehaven not completing their data in time, they haven’t received a fresh IMG score just yet.
For reference, Batley scored 8.62 in 2023’s gradings while Haven scored 6.27.
The ranking – which can be seen in full below – accordingly consists of 33 clubs…
