The game is littered with case history. There's Celtic Crusaders, Paris St Germain. . . .erm . . . . Hmmmmmmmmm? |

Sorry, but I think I do know.
Investors do frequently gamble, but not if the odds are astronomical. The chances of a Rotterdam Rugby League club providing a viable investment opportunity within the next 10 years are about as great as the chances of Accrington Stanley winning the Champions League. No business person would put a penny on it, let alone 5 million pounds. |

I'll bow to your superior knowledge, so I'll expect the Spartans to be in SL in 2018 and relocated to Norwich by 2019  |

Need to establish whether there's a dozen or more below average Aussie journeymen available from either the Queensland or NSW Cup first, so they can populate their squad like the rest of the SL whipping boy clubs do. |

Must admit I started this for a bit of a giggle and it's worked out well.
But I am rather pleased with the Cumbria Red Kites though, think it's a go-er.

There isn't and they wouldn't.
Unfortunately my guess would be that this is a dodge by Sparta Rotterdam FC to get the council to fund their new ground and they will be looking at hockey, Baseball and RU also before considering RL.
It would be great if it happened but believe me there is very little interest in the game here. Check out the official Netherlands RL site for confirmation. Last updated in 2009.

On the contrary, I think it's great that Super League has the best interests of the game at heart as it endeavours to expand beyond the umbilical cord otherwise known as the M62. It has an unrivalled record of providing sundry Aussie jackaroos and south sea islanders with the opportunity to contiki-tour their way around Europe on the grog before they return to Bondi and the surf.
Situating SL clubs in places like Rotterdam makes it a lot easier for them as a starting point, once they get bored of London and completed their cultural rites of passage here. Anyhow, there isn't a Whinos-supporting Smokey TA type on this entire planet who would select places like Leigh, Fev and Wakey when they can book a long weekend break in exotic places like Rotterdam, Wrexham and Bristol instead.
