2012 Jersey & Sponsorship Discussion

[Tyrone Biggums]

Yup, maybe that will allow you to afford players, coaching staff and an administration that have an ounce of professionalism.

Afford players and a coaching staff?

Didn't know you were living under a rock the last couple of years. But you might've missed us throwing 550k at a halfback who had a 5 month purple patch, a ridiculous amount on a player that's not even half way through his mission and paid out the last coach that got us to a grand final just so we could hire a rookie.

If there's one area Parramatta isn't struggling in it's financially.

But i can see why you'd think we are. It must be weird for you seeing teams with money not splashing it all on going over the cap.

 

[Hutty1986]

You seen any dead Bulldogs fans at our leagues club?

Fatalities

St Merge - 1
All other teams combined - 0

Ah doggies. Pure class.

Sandow and the coaching staff don't have an ounce of professionalism.

Say what you will about mistakes made in the past but as it stands the entire Parramatta Eels entity from the ball boy to the board/CEO are a rabble.

If anyone knows what a rabble looks like it'd be a Bulldogs fan. How many spoons you win last decade?

Too bad we can't just go buy half the leagues off contract players and cross our fingers that they turn good like you guys did for three straight years.

You must be chuffed that Folau is linked with you. What's it been...8-9 days since you last signed someone?

 

[Doga]

Ah doggies. Pure class.

You brought the sword. Don't sook now princess..

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Maybe if he raped some girl and wore a shirt with Iron Man on it you'd think otherwise...

Yup, we've taken all the lows, nowhere left to go but up.

Isn't this your second season facing the spoon ?

:lol: Though you said you didn't have a problem financially.

Who the f**k uses the word chuffed?

I think its been 10 days.

 

[Evenflow]

Looks like shit.

Funny how the Dogs and Storm fans make up like 90% of the people that actually like it/think it's a good idea.

Good on them. When you don't have a cap you may as well make as much you can. What's the difference between being 500k over and a million anyway?

 

[gUt]

looks cool

 

[Grapple]

If I was in Melbourne i'd definitely go and watch that film over going to a storm game.

Difference between facing the spoon and actually winning it though isn't there... Not looking good for this season though admittedly.

:lol: Though you said you didn't have a problem financially.

That tends to happen when your coach is a joke. Players don't want to come. Don't tell me you think it's coincidence that two years ago you signed nobody's like Keating and Wright, and now you're linked with Internationals like TRex and Folau.

Who the f**k uses the word chuffed?

Sweet diss brah. Stop the fight.

I think its been 10 days.

Cheers.

They should give movie tickets away with the game tickets.

Look at that. 20 minutes talking to a Bulldogs fan and look how innovative i've become.

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

It's a good idea and hats off to the club for their initiative but lets not pretend it's a good looking piece of kit.

 

[The.X.Factor9]

Yup, but facing it two seasons in a row is terrible.

That tends to happen when your coach is a joke.

Thats my point, the Parramatta coaching staff suck.

Players don't want to come. Don't tell me you think it's coincidence that two years ago you signed nobody's like Keating and Wright, and now you're linked with Internationals like TRex and Folau

Keating and Wright are playing good football under Hasler.

The only reason we've been linked to Folau is because the media need to write articles and our recent activity in the player market.

 

[Trentosaurus]

I made a joke in the jersey thread about how awesome it would be if the Bulldogs did this. I f**kin' love Batman.

It's a disgrace that clubs can sellout their jerseys like this but it's Batman!

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

You won't see me say otherwise... I'm not oblivious to the trainwreck Parramatta is atm. I'm not arguing that. If I was why the f**k would i argue it with some supporting the team running second.

All i'm saying is, is that your clubs recent history is almost as bad as it gets. Wooden spoons, SBW, Coffs Harbour, cheating the cap, losing that whole Family Club bs your board used to pedal so much.

Keating and Wright are playing good football under Hasler.

That says more about Hasler than it does about those two...

The only reason we've been linked to Folau is because the media need to write articles and our recent activity in the player market.

Exactly haha. Why wouldn't they link them to you. You manage to fit a seemingly infinite amount of players under that cap of yours.

 

[PaulyTom]

9/10 for the dark night jersey.

Well done Storm for designing a good looking strip

 

[cleary89]

I dont like the look of the jersey but i f**king love thenew batman trilogily. Nolan is a genius, love all his work. Seriously been waiting for the movie for ages plus hathaway as catwoman! Could have made the jersey look cooler though and lol at storm for sellig their soul for a quick dollar.

 

[jonno_knights]

Aren't the Storm owned by News? why do they need a quick buck?...

Im borderline against teams fully changing their jerseys for charity reasons, I think it should be limited to socks/boots/tape/headgear etc.

But changing a jersey for a movie is beyond pathetic IMO. Out of curiosity how much money do they make from this advertisment? cause noone in there right mind would fork out $175 for one, surely. No matter how much you love batman.

 

[Timmah]

Hahaha I said it when the bulldogs did it and I'll say it again. f**king joke. Selling their soul for a quick buck. Be happy to see all the dogs supporters saying how good it is when you have a shitty new jersey every week.

Thank god we have kept our jersey from ~ the 40's and don't come out with a new marketing gimmick every year or in bulldogs or storms case every week.

You mean the Dragons as in the club that turned it's red v pink two weeks ago? Or the one that has an indigenous pattern scattered all over it in three weeks time?

Every club whores their jersey out for one reason or another - commercial or charity. Even when the Dogs whored the jerseys out in 2010 and 2011, it was still for charity - all match worn strips were auctioned off.

I don't even think you could buy the jersey commercially, which it seems you can for the Storm.
