Going off IMG Toulouse should already be in the 12 at the expense of Castleford. 


Widened to 14 IMG would include Bradford and Castleford.


IMG Scores


8 Salford      
10 Toulouse
11 Wakefield
12 Leigh
13 Castleford
14 Bradford
15 Featherstone
16 Widnes
17 York


...


24 London




I would be tempted with London, Bradford/Featherstone and York and eject Salford - thus rendering the IMG scores as pointless. 

We’ve got money and quality players coming out of our ears haven’t we with 12 teams, so only right that we go to 14 with a few months notice.  Great plan.

Sky Sports reported that only Toulouse and London meet the criteria for SL? 

Two more teams for us to get beat by then.

From BBC Sport:
Super League's 12 current clubs have voted to expand the competition to 14 teams from next season.
In a statement, the league said the expansion would take place by combining the club grading system with an independent panel.
The panel is to be chaired by Lord Jonathan Caine, who was recently elected to the RFL's board, as well as the strategic review sub-committee.
The top 12 clubs under the grading system at the end of 2025 will be joined by two clubs recommended by the panel "provided there are two applications of sufficient merit against the set criteria".

Don't worry, we will have some new signings for 2026 which we can loan to the new teams by April.
