The club, now named the Cairns Rawnet Taipans are excited about the sponsorship and the investment in the future of the club by Regional Internet Australia.
"The sponsorship is the biggest investment in the club's history and we could not be happier to welcome such a vibrant and exciting company as Regional Internet Australia on board," said Chairman of the Cairns Rawnet Taipans, John OBrien.
