| Quote ="TaRL PaRL"For all our Widnes, Castleford, Wakefield fans on our message board some points to ponder
1) We have never had any financial assistance of the RFL
2) Superleague was expanded to 14 teams to facilitate geographical expansion, without expansion it would proabably be ten teams
3) The negotiable sky money would probably drop by a larger fraction than 1/14th fo every expansion team you lost so northern superleague teams would have their incomes reduced and their reaction would probably be to try and shrink the number of teams in the competition to maintain income.
4) Quins are in a double bind that our majority share holder is not allowed to put money in the club and our minority share holder is retiring and cannot maintain his great support for the club.
5) Please return to your own message boards and start lobbying for the RFL to take over majority share holding and taking on the losses or you will never have a chance of getting/keeping a superleague place.
Thank you!'"
To be honest i am a Widnes fan and gutted we did not get a franchise.I would have liked the game to expand in the UK, and not to bring in French teams.The French should put money in from sport france and not sport england. I hope things get sorted out and next time Widnes will join you in Superleague.

Learn to spell and punctuate. For example, you have just said that you are unwell as in "ill" instead of "I will", which shows, again, that you are an idiot.

WRONG. Traslate is not a word and no-one cares if you are ill.

I have said that London does not deserve to be in Super League due to the lack of support from the fans.
However, without London, the game will die as a professional sport in this country. Who will sponsor a game that is only played opp North? Sky's owners News International could have go their might behind Quins RL, but they have failed to. Does Sky want or need League? Demographic for advertisers is very poor and they get a better return on Union in terms of advertising spend.
This is worrying for all who like League.
Anyway, enough of being nice - off you Northern monkey!

'" I think that the RFL could be facing a very embarrassing situation with ourselves on s**t street once more and Crusaders' crowds going through the floor. With both clubs facing very uncertain futures, Rugby League as a "national sport" is, in real danger of dying out and the game going back to it's pre 1980 state as one only played on the M62 corridor. If this does happen, sponsors will leave the game, Sky will probably reduce the money they pay to show the game, and the sport's already poor media coverage will further dissipate. Whatever way you look at it, Rugby League faces a difficult period.

Stop posting garbage , are you really that stupid to believe these figures posted
year one you essentially borrow a million from your club , resulting in a million loss
year two you pay the money back resulting in a two million pound turnaround on the same turnover figure
but it allows you to post something that seems quite good to stupid people

That is a very arrogant post and very dismissive of your northern masters.
The game will thrive as it always has done. Having a London-based team has not put a single extra bum on a seat for the majority of rugby league teams. Arguably, it has cost a lot of bums, because the Quins home game is never a must-see, because there is no atmosphere from the away "crowd". Rugby league is one of the most-watched sports on Sky behind football, and that has nothing to do with having a London side. Demographics for national advertisers will be no poorer than it is now, because the presence of Harlequins will not be a deal-breaker for companies, because no one goes to watch you.
I wish you well, but only because of the negative press coverage you will generate, but you need to stop overstating your importance. Those who run rugby league want expansion. Most fans want to see the game become popular. But if you had a poll amongst rugby league fans, most would lose no sleep if you went bust.

That may or may not be true but it would matter to those of us who follow RL in London and that's why it's being discussed on here. Trolls like you add nothing to the debate so please spare us any more of your pompous musings. Thank you.
