It’s a product sponsorship. And players only get post game drinkies if they win
It all deepens the club's pockets in one way or another and improves the club's reputation and attractiveness to players, whether it's wealthier hangers on providing them with 'investment opportunities' or just the club being able to afford to send them on US holidays while they're injured.

Plenty of good players there. Andrew Ryan was a big mistake.
Bobcat got signed just before the Oasis salary cap dramas. The dogs somehow were able to keep him.

Curious to see what people think of this article.

Someone from the club has obviously leaked this to Chammas.

The same can’t be said for the winning team. It’s not the first time, either. Most of the players, barring Paulo, Ryan Matterson, Reed Mahoney and Dylan Brown, usually can’t get to the sheds any quicker.

I remember going to a game with my nephew who was desperate to get some of the players autographs. After the game the team didn't interact with the fans all.

Well when the fans are booing one of their own players it makes it a bit hard to hang around. :fishing_pole_and_fish:

Reinforces my belief that Drown should be earmarked as our long term skipper....

The bit about the disconnect? If it exists I'd say it's historical...

I didn't understand what he is saying is co-located at Kellyville - the football club's centre of excellence and what/who from the leagues club/front office exactly?

I would have thought Junior was given the co-captaincy because Gutho soiled his leadership credenials by calling Opacic a spastic during a game last year... or perhaps as a bridge so that our islander team members feel equally represented? Can't hurt to have two "captains" or leadership figures anyway - one in the forwards/middle and one out the back.

I find it unusual to come out after such a big win.

Well I reckon it's one of two things.

We all know Chammas is a Penrith insider so was it Penrith with the shits after the game pointing out to there main journo man that Brian to'o was still on the field and parra have gone the sheds.

Chammas has then put some disconnect issue that has been brought up in the past by his sources in Parramatta and decided to run it the Monday after we bashed Penrith.

Or someone at the club has leaked it. Have parra fans brought this up in the past. I don't get near the fence after the game so haven't really noticed it tbh and if its that big a issue because it has never been brought up.
