Painaway seems to be involved with the players already. I'm sure that Hayne, Fui & Morts wouldn't be all mentioning the product in random interviews for free. ;-)

I think Pirtek got a good deal, i think the sponsors of other teams pay alot more then what pirtek gives to the eels. Ossie will fix that up!

Man a club like ours, I find it hard to believe we can't get a blue chip sponsor? I don't mind Pirtek but a big Nike swoosh sign would look cool across the front of the jersey? Notice with the "one town teams" they get all the big sponsors eg Cowboys - Toyota, Gold Coast - JetStar, even the Roosters have Samsung. Of course to do with population exposure but isn't Western Sydney the 3rd biggest economy in Australia???? And Parra undoubtedly one of the best supported clubs if not best supported clubs in the game?????

It could be worse - we could still be affiliated with Hardie's!

Spot on mate. I think Ossie has the same idea. He talks so highly of the club. One of, if not the biggest supported club in the league with a huge fan base right across australia.

In ossie we trust!

and yet we only average 12K at home games.

I personally think that we should have a reliable sponsor that stick with us through the good times and bad. This may cost us some dollars but don't want to see the fly-by-nighters who run as soon as you drop out of the eight.

Doh my name? Just chose hardiplank cause it's so iconic with our Eels jersey of the 80's dynasty.

James Hardie company. Now they're some b*stards :x.

Are still a sponsor but not on the Jersey apparently, I saw Toblerones for them on the coverage at the 30 Metre mark (Hey I don't see the Toblerones normally I am behind them in the Cronin Stand).
