It's impossible otherwise to assemble a squad good enough to compete with SL teams when Championship teams are getting £200k-ish central funding and SL teams £1.8 million (or whatever it is), and you won't know until October whether you are getting promoted or not.
I agree, just comparing them with Leigh last season who did have quite a few players who looked capable of Superleague, but we're still expected to struggle after promotion. I know most see Superleague as the promised land, but if Featherstone do go up I'm afraid they'd be in for a season of absolute tonkings.
