I agree with some of this: Hull and Wiigan do add value to the comp BUT they have put themselves in a position of financial weakness. Should the game really be led by such hamstrung clubs?
Wilderspool and Knowsley Road had limited development potential too - Wire and Saints took the long-term view.
As for spending the additional on a marketing campaign, don't you think it much more likely it'll be blown on a couple of inflated player salaries - or on outstanding demands from the Inland Rev?
The financial weakness of Wigan has very little to do with its current chairman nor does the position at Hull. To suggest that the current chairman are inappropriate to make a sensible contribution to the debate because of what Maurice did at Wigan etc. is ludicrous.
If paying a player like Sonny Bill helps to secure an improved TV deal or a major sponsor I would suggest that is a better use of the money than giving it to a championship club. Unlikely I know
