Good for SL if there are 14 teams rather than just 11 teams that we have at the moment. If London, Widnes and Crusaders have markedly improved squads for 2012 then it can only be good for SL, England and grass-roots development.

A few-hundred thousand pounds and the fortunes of the whole sport can really grow.

Genuinely hope that we can see every team go into the start of next season with a genuine shot at the play-offs in 2012, although hopefully the London side can convince a few big players to join the team in the big city, they might want a large wage, but if you want the bigger names you have to pay the bigger wages, unless you want marquee signings to be less than larger than life.

I think there's been a misunderstanding here - what they are actually looking for is 6 or 7 players to help them put up a marquee.

Easy mistake to make.

They let their biggest name player go last year - LMS.

Quins should have held onto some of the very good players they already had.

I would like to see Quins sign some good players, they don't have to be 'big name' but one or two would be good.

Coming from a marketing perspective, I would love to see them sign up a couple of RU players.

I think if they can manage to hang on to a lot of their squad they should at least be able to compete in NL1 next season. But they are right, they will probably need some good signings to be able to challenge for trophies.

Without being too negative, don't Quins run at a massive loss. So, bringing in Big name players, means paying Big Bucks and increasing the amount they lose on a yearly basis. Sure Hughes will be happy about that.
