This is why the game is dead in the water. It will never expand. £Millions are thrown at London(Harlequins), Welsh and French sides who will never make an impact, while a more gradual expansion might now have seen the game played in the Midlands and the NE, if the RFL had supported Mansfield/Nottingham and Gateshead initially in the 80s.
But no, outposts are subsidised, but with no local rivalry they will be forever that-outposts.
