They are not completely an expansion team as RL was played in Perpignan for decades, but they definately got the branding spot on. The colours and Dragon are great and it gets a whole region (and wannabe republic) behind them.
The 3 years of no relegation worked well, they got to a CC final in their 2nd year. So its baffling why that policy was abaondoned but thats RL for you...
Always thought Wrexham was a missed opportunity for the game, close to the heartlands not a lot else going on in North Wales and a legit base for Wales national side. Years later the hollywood stars have seen the potential with the Football team.
