Millward would be a perfect personality down there.

Could maybe rouse some of the latent Aussie support for RL.

Maybe, maybe not. That was then, this is now. DH needs practical help, not theory.

I would love to see a sugar daddy ride over the hills, but what I don't want or expect is the RFL to bail quins out financially....
Sky on the other hand....if they want a SL team in london, then maybe they should foot the bill? Melbourne Storm....anyone....expansion team propped up be the main TV partner....

Well if I had say 2 million quid to "invest" in Quins, one of the first questions I would be asking is what marketing strategy (aka theory) do they have going forward. Otherwise I may as well find a rather large toilet and flush the money down it - lets face it, it would probably be a lot more entertaining.

I am actually a bit surprised that given the alleged significance of Quins to Sky and therefore the entire game that the RFL has not yet found some device to flow money their way somehow. There have to be very serious doubts now as to the ability of Quins to continue as a going concern in the top flight - and it would make everyones job a lot easier if clarity could be obtained as soon as possible as to whether they will drop down a division, and allow the upcoming Championside side (aka Widnes) to prepare.

So Widnes replace Quins. What happens if the following happens.
1/ Wrexham and Crusaders fall out big time.
2/ Cas/Wakey or Salford's grounds do not get finished
3/ Sky say well as the sport is not national we will look at the amount Our investment puts into SuperLeague.
Could become a shadow of Todays league very quickly.
PS. I hope None of the above happens.
