Problem 1 - Most people in the UK do not know Rugby League exists
Combination of:
1 - Good quality rugby league clubs not spread across the UK. (People in certain areas don't have a team to support).
2 - Rugby League not consistently taught throughout the UK in primary and secondary schools
3 - Rugby League does not have a strong amateur game throughout the UK
4 - Weak International game. (There are problably more supporters of England Rugby Union than of the individual omestic clubs fanbase combined)
5 - Poorly marketed, but pointless without points 1-4 addressed
Perhaps if Sly don't want the lower leagues, the terrestrial broadcasters might step in - it'd be crumbs, but better than nowt maybe. Then at least there might be some exposure (unless they stick it on at stupid o'clock on a Monday morning).
