So the CRL, is really the Canberra Rugby League and not Country Rugby League.

PM me your address mate and I'll have the tissues in the mail for you.

Perhaps another club can step up in the area then ?

Easy to say when your Broncos have the most advantage out of any team in the comp i.e. guaranteed FTA coverage, large exposure to corporate sponsorship and no competition for it.

I?d just be happy with junior concessions TBH.

Im far from a Broncos apologist but Im gonna have to pull you up here champ.

The donkeys have the Lions, Reds and Roar competing for their corporate dollar in Brissy. Say what you want about other codes but all of them push hard into the local media up here

 

[Pete Cash]

Just on kiwis idiotic ramblings (did he let a cat type out his post) we better scrap third party deals because that gives the Broncos an advantage. Junior concessions would be a help for the raiders because they have extensive junior networks in place. Other clubs can just as easily do what we do just as the raiders (lol lol lol) could in theory compete with the Broncos for third party money. Despite the huge advantages the Broncos have.

They are the only rugby league club in the second largest rugby league city in Australia. They have insane amounts of fta coverage. They have the easiest access to third party money in the competition. It's outright hypocritical for any bronco supporter to deride the raiders push for junior concessions which would also help them

Edit

Only nrl side rather

I doubt any Broncos fan would complain about junior concessions because it would help us out as much as the Raiders.

Yeah but a Sydney NRL team has 8 other NRL sides, 2 AFL sides and 2 A-League sides (3 if you count the Mariners just up the road) to compete with for corporate dollars. That's 12 or 13 different teams to compete with compared to 3 in Brisbane

Well if you want to count teams "just up the road" then you can throw in the Suns and Titans too

Regardless, the post I replied to stated they had no competition at all for corporate dollars, which is blatantly untrue. Whether they have less than Sydney clubs is not in contention here.

Thats about all the Bronco defence I can take for now. Im going to take a long shower to scrub the stink off

Can?t tell if back-peddling or takes every comment too literally......

 

[Joker's Wild]

Certainly not back peddling champ. You said no competition and I refuted it

Fairly black and white really

Perhaps you should have been a tad more specific

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Looks like I’ll have to mate.

You totally ignored the point that was made about the competition that Sydney teams face for corporate sponsorship (in comparison to Brisbane) so it looked like a bit of a back-peddle.

Canberra also have to compete with the Brumbies and GWS in a very tough corporate market, so if you want to bring other codes into it then Brisbane look to have it even easier.

Can you please back up some of these "claims" about Canberra providing funding into the Riverina.

I am calling bullshit.

 

[Joker's Wild]

Again bro, I wasnt refuting that point at any time and I didnt feel it necessary to agree with something so obvious. However the myth that the Donkeys have zero competition in Brissy is an all too prevalent one around these parts.

Its hardly back peddling if I havent actually gone back on anything that I said

True. Think of all the "homesick" kids you could bring "home"

For three decades, the Raiders have been playing pre-season games and nurturing the young talent coming through from the Riverina with no financial reward.

If anything, the Raiders can claim they bring something back to the community.

”If we take a kid from the Riverina and bring him into our system, we have to pay a $5000 development fee and that money goes straight back into country rugby league,” Furner said.

I’m sure there’s plenty of other examples but that took all of 10 seconds to dig up on google.

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

LOL and as if other clubs don't have to pay a similar fee to the bush, and as if other clubs don't take games to the bush.

Nice try Faiduh's.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

You are struggling.

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Yeah Canberra is the only club that has to pay that fee.

Also Canberra is the only club that takes games to the bush.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Yeah Canberra is the only club that has to pay that fee.

Can you back up this claim?

 

[Card Shark]

Canberra is on the front line against the advancing Mexican troops & should be given concessions to help them promote the game in southern NSW & foster junior development.

Instead they just seemed to be screwed over every year, albeit some perhaps by their own doing.

Ok, just for you. The Bronco's have "very little" competition for corporate dollars compared the rest of the NRL.
