In NRL heartland

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?

As the Mod says, he removed it as it was clearly designed to annoy and provoke, something a few of you are doing on here with free reign. Hats off to mild rover for seeing the op for what it was, hopefully we shall see more of this.

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.

Wigan and Hull 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.

Why do the RFL need to force clubs? 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.
