Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us. If you are having problems logging in, please try a different browser or platform, if problems persist then email support@rlfans.com

Indeed there was never any suggestion by the RFL or the Scottish Tourist Board of money changing hands to attract the event to Edinburgh.
I'd guess that some deal has been done on the use of Murrayfield and the STB has agreed to expend resources promoting the event, but that in my opinion is as far as it would go.
I wuld be surpsied if visitor numbers could justify major financial expenditure to 'buy' the event. There's not enough evidence yet to give it a value.
