Because it looks like there might, just might, be some real interest. While there is that possibility, a presence - a competitive presence I should say - is important. And having Wales involved in rugby league is important because I think it would be great to have more areas of the country genuinely involved in rugby league. Don't you?

Can you imagine being kicked out at the expense of the Crusaders? Wakefield may have an awful ground, but at least they have some support. The game will never expand with the RFL the way it is, some of the decisions they make are horrendous.

Currently standing at just above 50% of Crusaders

We'll revisit it this figure in August, although I would be quite happy if Crusaders can hang in there off the field.

If Huddersfield were a new franchise, and people started giving out free tickets to promote the game, I'm sure that myself and anyone else up for something new and free would go, simply because I live here. How many of those would stick around and pay for games on a regular basis? Well, we'll see in the case of the Crusaders. But I'm willing to bet on something moderately more successful than Harlequins.
