So? How’s one single game mostly set up by the Aussies show how Super League clubs are going to sort out and improve the types of sponsors we get over here?

No it was not! That is a matter of opinion!
It was highlighting the rather poor and frankly lazy attitude of most 'professional' clubs in the UK hence why the game is going nowwhere, but you lot are too blind to see the ship is sinking.
Not to worry, when the game has finally shrunk to a amateur/semi-professional part time entity, I'm sure the vultures of rugby union will come along nicely to buy up the assets and enable RU to continue a form of RL. After all they want the product we have.
Until then, enjoy your <edited for insults, MR> world view.
You deny the world the opportunity to enjoy this game.

How does this turn the Super League-watching audience into one that buys Range Rovers and the latest iMac?

I'll give you a clue. It doesn't.
If the answer to our sponsorship problems is to follow the chairman of a club that posted a £680k loss due to lost sponsors, I dread to think what the question is.

We’ve had enough teams currently or in the past year or two who have reserve teams, why aren’t they capable of doing it themselves without needing the RFL to hold their hand and do it for them. This is the same RFL that clubs have come out criticising and saying they can do things better yet they can’t even manage a reserve competition without them doing it for them.'"
Completely agree - that was the point I was try to make, that the criticism was misdirected.

That's open to interpretation.
Shame we don't have a lawyer among us.

Not exactly a fear of expansion but I do worry where the players in an expanded league will come from.
It's analogous to the standard of trolling on here. Once, there was only the occasional troll who had the pick of the best topics and whose material tended to be refreshing and novel. There were many biters.
Now, the troll number (or perhaps their aliases) has increased but the available subject matter has not. This means that the new kids on the block, akin to the Toulouses and Torontos of this world, are of a relatively weak standard compared to the leaders in their field. In itself, this wouldn't be a bad thing but the sad fact of the matter is that their efforts now actually undermine the efforts of their betters resulting in a drop off in standards right across the board.
