Looks like it. Keighley did the same when they came up from Championship 1 for this season.

Makes me wonder if the rumour I heard is actually true that Whitehaven, Harlequins and Wakey will all go bust and have to start again?
Well one down 2 to go???? (not wishing this on them by the way its not a good thing for a club at all and the game)

Won't miss Harlequins as they really have added nothing to the game of RL apart from you get a trip to London and the game can say it is played in London but you can say that for London Skolars! Also a lot of us get a trip to London anyway with the Challenge Cup Final so what? They have gone bust before but it was smokescreened by the RFL surprise, surprise. The day they took on the name Harlequins which will always be associated with their bigger and richer RU landlords they sold out imo. Will the RFL really let them drop out of SL and get egg on their big fat faces???

Feel sorry for Wakey they seem to be been the whipping boys for the RFL.

Will it open the door for us to go up along with Widnes???
Not if the fat controller has anything to do with it.

kcab sfrawdder Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg

Surely if quins go pop and drop down they will try to push Toulouse up to replace them

so what happens if a SL team do same, 9 point reduction will mean nothing as no relegation.

If Harlequins do drop out of SL for whatever reason the RFL will look to replace them with a "Expansion Club", the only viable one at the moment is Toulouse...

Brew is correct, it's a deal that the SL clubs agreed between themselves IIRC, 11 traditional area clubs plus 3 expansion area clubs, until anyone else throws their hats into the ring, Toulouse are the only suitable expansion club.

They add junior development for kids playing RL in London through their junior teams, they probably added a few million to the games TV deal as well.

This is my take on things at Quins in recent years

As clubs there is a lesson we need to take head of

I have taken a more than passing interest in the Quins board in the last 2/3 yeasrs , Why ? , well quite simply they are exactly like us and share many problems that we have

They are tring to run and build a club when all around them is apathy , they have a multitude of much larger better supported sports clubs on their doorstep , they are low profile in their area

Why will they go bust if that is what happens

Simple , they have done little to nothing to build the business side of their club , they have not marketed themselves any where near enough , they have just assumed that eventually enough people will realise they are there and come along

They have ' fiddled ' why Rome was burning

They are a lesson to all of us , fans and owners of clubs

Just being there is no longer good enough to survive , in the modern world you have to work hard to find customers , you have to court them , make them feel special , you have to provide entertainment , value for money , a safe enviroment , you have to give them a sample of what they can have [ yes free if necessary ]

What Quins have done is

NOTHING


They are /will be a lesson to all of us , as long as the relevant people open their eyes and see the lesson

Fail to do that and eventually the same fate will befall those that dont learn from that lesson

Nail on the head there Starbug. Thats where the majority of RL sides let themselves down.

Crusaders did it and it was all just brushed under the carpet. No doubt 'Quins and Wakey will be let off and 'Haven spanked.
