[QUOTE="ratsapprentice, post: 615070, member: 67273"] To be fair RRW are unhappy because they have been unable to grow their fanbase enough to support themselves. This is either down to their inept marketing or an inherrent problem with the regions ability to garner support. I don't see how moving to the premiership is really going to change that, any success they have in response to the move will be on the Premiership club's coattails. It seems to me that the WRU are trying to "pet them down" as it were, in order to implement a domestic system which is actually sustainable. They seem to have a very effective marketing team and the ability to centrally contract players and, crucially, are in a position to create new clubs which have intrinsic local support. [/QUOTE]
