well said DS top bloke we should honour him this season

maybe the plea in Russells members email pulled through haha

Yeah I don’t think enough people realise how much this guy has eased a bit of the financial pressure when no other companies were coming forward.

It says something about the corporate climate towards the game when a team as successful as the Storm struggle for a sponsor and then sign a one year deal with an online real estate company that has some significant financial issues.

There’d be a lot of nervous sponsorship teams across the league hoping like hell there’s no budding pornstars who’ve captured their sexual prowess and shared it.

Especially teams that have a financial services org as their major backer.

Anyone seen the stories about our 1 time sponsor Infinity?
Seems that bloke was a dodgy character

Actually a perfect time to target a big bank. Both brands heading in a new honest direction. Hit them up baz.

had a thumb through the season launch plus a few articles with the new sponsorship on the site but not sure if this is strange or not but why isnt the new major sponsor not being featured on the websites with all those other brands? do they need to pay extra for those images being in that location

Don’t have it with me but I’m pretty sure it’s front & centre on our premiers jersey.
No that’s southern radiology.

They were subsequently bought by capital radiology. 12 months later capital listed on the ASX and soon enough they were valued at 10% of earlier.
Hence why they didn’t renew. They were broke.

They were soon bought wholly by Imed. They now have 204 sites in eastern Australia and were just purchased by a European company for 1.25 billion AUD.

Maybe IMED can become a sponsor.

Can't find the link but the article that ran today about our financial position is fugged...I reckon prepare for relocation in 2023 friends. Even if we scrounge around and make back cash by sacking staff and whatever (never a good sign) I dunno how we rein in the level of debt we're in especially when we're selling stakes in parts of the development.

The thing about this sponsor is it's old fashioned rugby league shit...the local guttering company (even though ACE is a national brand were sponsored by a specific product). It's not a good look for what the NRL wants, perhaps unrealistically, which is an international standard code.

Last days of the Newtown Jets vibe for us is how I'm feelin...win a comp or two and make some memories

Ghoti, don’t get sucked in by click bait articles especially about the Sharks. The amount of misinformation out there is ridiculous. Fox Sports articles are notorious for producing click bait articles.

People need to stop listening to Paul Kent and some of these other morons. Yeah we know our club is a shambles, but it’s probably not as bad as what some of these scumbag journalists make out with their personal vendettas.
