[Perth Red]

Check out this Sht . a Jnr RL club applied for a Bankwest Easy Grant and here's the response they got!

haha what the f**k?

Let me guess they would have no issue giving one to an AFL club.

 

[Perth Red]

They had no problem sponsoring the Western Force!

Email address is in post, let them know what you think!

 

[hellteam]

This is outrageous

 

[SBD82]

I'm outraged.

I'm not sure what I'm outraged about. But I'm definitely outraged.

This is another paid advertisement by the AFL

Looks like a hoax or scam to me.

"Rugby League is considered a dangerous a sport....."

What sort of language is that?

Also, it is addressed by somebody only known as "Anna". It is standard practice for financial institutions to supply a surname as well as their title or position.

 

[Emu01]

What a disgraceful response!

 

[magpie_man]

Tweet it to Beatie; the governance should be all over this sort of thing.

Sadly it’s genuine. It was one of our new Perth jnt RL clubs, the Alkimos Tiger who applied. The bank are copping flak left right and centre!

 

[Perth Red]

And just to compound the bias aga8nst RL

We need RL fans to get on the banks Facebook page and email them please. It’s hard enough growing the game here in the West without this BS!

Maybe you should be asking for help from the fans of clubs you haven't spent years bagging about low crowds, sht stadia, etc, and calling for relocations, relegations, etc.

The 5 Melbourne fans on here will be happy to assist, I'm sure.

From the first article.

THE SAFEST SPORTS: 1. Walking and running 2. Golf 3. Racquet sports 4. Water sports 5. Dancing 6. Fishing

Water sports - how many drownings are there each year?
Dancing - WTF?
Fishing - I'm quite sure a lot of people get washed off rocks when rockfishing.

i believe there is plenty of research online showing that RL is one of the safest sports for children under 14. They really need to collate as much of that as possible and put it in their face

I’m not asking for fans to help me, I’m asking for real fans to help the game. Glad ive made such an impression on you lol.

Seems a bit weird.

You only have to look at the previous grant recipients to see that only last month they gave a grant to the Kwinana Wolves Sports Club, which is made up of "rugby union, rugby league and netball teams."

That grant was for their u16s rugby union team to purchase new uniforms for an international tournament in Singapore.

In January they gave a $1000 grant to WA Roller Derby, a Redcliffe AFL team and some Go Kart club.

Sports most likely to land you in hospital: #1 Go Karts, #2 Rollerblading.
