Yep, would Carnegie want to sponsor the Cup if it doesnt have the same kind of exposure? Or at the very least on reduced terms you would imagine. IIRC the RFL were struggling for a suitable sponsor for the Cup when Carnegie took it, it'll be even harder to find one when its exposed to a far smaller audience.
