Leeds Rhinos still have room for improvement despite leading the table of IMG scores, chief executive Gary Hetherington says.
Rhinos came out on top in the ‘indicative’ phase of a new grading process being introduced as part of the RFL and sport marketing giant IMG’s ‘reimagining rugby league’ strategy. All 35 professional clubs were ranked on five criteria: playing performance, fandom, finances, stadium and community. The governing body say the dummy gradings “give clubs a clear indication of their strengths and weaknesses and the areas in which they need to improve to increase their score in 2024”.
Hetherington hailed Rhinos’ first place as “recognition for the whole organisation, as well as the Leeds Rhinos Foundation for their role in community engagement”. He said: “It’s very satisfying after a very exhaustive process that looks at all aspects of clubs’ organisation and their entire business. “It’s very detailed, a lot of time and effort and thought has gone into it by a lot of experts in various fields.
