Depends if they still believe a 'london club' makes any difference. |

Amen.
Only the dead lie still. |

They've already failed. They weren't awarded a SL franchise on the basis of being located in North Wales, not too many miles down the road from Widnes. |

Depends on what you are classing as 'success' or 'failure' really. I think as a focal point for some wonderful work going on at grass roots level, and increasing the visibility of the game in Wales they have been a resounding success.
Whether they can continue to do that and become a successful equal partner in super league offering a pathway for young welsh players improving the development of the welsh national side remains to be seen. |

They were awarded a SL franchise on the basis of being an expansion team in an area which is a hotbed of "rugby" (South Wales) that could hopefully be tapped into. They are now located in an area which is not. That is otherwise known as a resounding failure. They need to be terminated ASAP and the RFL need to wake up before incurring further financial losses through misplaced bail-outs.

Wales as a viable national RL entity died when Rugby Union became a professional sport. Having a SL side in Wrexham (North Wales) which is based just down the road from Widnes won't alter that. |

Its got a damn sight better chance than not having any welsh representation. Look at the growth in the game since the advent of crusaders. It has been massive. |

What in particular and how is it quantified?
Are we talking about kids playing the sport?
If so, what are the before and after figures? |
