Westpac and now this, great deals for the nrl. maybe Abdo is actually doing something after all during the week lol.
Yep, sitting around doing nothing.
Mr Abdo said the code had been looking for the “best possible” corporate partner in each industry category and was eyeing a major supermarket and health insurance brand next. “We’ve brought on a bank, with Westpac, so financial services. We’d love to have a deal with a Coles or a Woolies,” he said.
If fumbleball can have one, so can we. Watch this space.

So behind the scenes PVL & Abdo have been working on securing big business name sponsorship $$$ .👏👏👏👏
yet the usual crazies have been up them since forever because they weren’t sharing details for them to see .I don’t think a weekly email to them would have done the job .
Lol wouldn’t have made any difference .
they would have been ranting with the same anti RL …SYD..PVL crap that consumes them .

Geez its quiet in here....
Did saint Peter just hand out 12.1million to everyone in this thread too???
...Really quiet

Is it mass time already, bless
Lol, and in true pistol Pete style he’s announced it before actually getting an agreement with the players! Cowboys running the show.

“It is important to note that although the RLPA Board did not reject the NRL’s financial proposal as presented, they were left with no option but to not accept it in the absence of further detail on
the full terms and conditions of the agreement.”

“To announce new salary caps for players without their agreement and bypassing their association is unprecedented”

“For a governing body to set its own salary cap disrespects the entire player representation movement and the importance of collective bargaining. Today’s announcement goes against negotiating in good faith and only damages the trust between the players and the governing body.”

Interesting. This could get very messy. PVL probably thought weight of public opinion with news of this increase would coerce them into agreement.

On reflection, only having the salary cap for next year was unusual. Its normally a five year projection

It’s a typical arrogant play by pistol Pete. Announce it publicly even though not agreed to put pressure on them and make them look like they are greedy. Your avg fan will look at this and say “why haven’t the players agreed? it’s a massive pay rise”. Bull in a China shop on par approach from our illustrious leader.

Well yeah, how fkn long will the rlpa dragg this fkn out for... the clubs need clarity, fmd... howbout do all this talking and negotiating for the year after if your gonna look at reform and f**k around, the salary cap should have been done months ago, longer probably... we make fun of the knuckle draggers here, but the REAL knuckle dragger is Clint Newton.... f**kn just trying to sign up all these young talents so they can be their voice... of WHAT??? They are just justifying their jobs now...with all this cry foul bs... oh we werent ready... what a suprise...
They are already getting way more than their previous generation did.. the RLPA is a joke, even now after this 12mil is announced, they are bitchn about how they weren't yet ready to agree...
They are run by morons, eat your cake, and STFU

let alone the fact that the AFL have deals with Foxtel, Pointsbet, and I'm sure hundred of others (I aint looking them up), lets not ignore the fact there are plenty of companies who sponsor both competitions
SO,
Coles....
FFS is there a Coles in Logan???
There is... its not desolute... just not worthy of a rugba lieg team... you know coz "south of the river" needs to be anti broncos.. and dots on that city map says the river divides the city, therefore we need another broncos... but in logan

I can’t believe it’s taken until now for the game to chase corporate sponsors so successfully

or maybe they just didn’t try before

non broadcast revenue means less reliance on tv deals and also an increase in revenue every year rather than just when the tv deal gets done
