Thankyou Mr. Bash.
What was J.J. Giltinan's first (very next upon returning)involvement withRugby Leaguesince the financial troubles of the "Pioneer Kangaroos" sent him bankrupt and off the NSWRL board?
I can't around hang for long.

"Was he later involved with the Referees association"
He may have been Willow at some time mate, but not very next upon returning to rugby league after the troubles of the "Pioneer Kangaroos" sent him bankrupt and off the NSWRL board.
Hint: It's out there on the internet. That's where I hunted the question down from.
Search Engine anyone?

He set up Annandale RLFC- Jay Jay sure could pick 'em

Yes Sir!
The Annandale RL club was formed by J.J. Giltinan in his first involvement with the game since the financial troubles of the "Pioneer Kangaroos" sent him bankrupt and off the NSWRL board. Returning with Annandale was a triumph in itself for Giltinan - there seemed to be little long-term benefit for the NSWRL to include "The Dales" in the competition.
I'll do a Grubrunner here and show the link: http://www.rl1908.com/Clubs/Annandale-Rugby-League.htm

A very good site too from a committed supporter of the game.

Ok....

Who were the first team in the Sydney premiership to adopt a jersey sponsor (that is, splashed across the chest/ribs) and who were the sponsors?

 

[imported_Reservoir Dog]

Newtown Jets -1981 Paramount shirts?
Who owns that rl-1908site Willow? Always wondered.

 

[Willow]

We got an email from him ages ago. His name eludes me for the moment.
A fella by the name of Sean Fagan seems to be the author of most of the material.

The team and sponsor I'm thinking of was before 1981.

 

[Willow]

There was a hint btw.. but I'll put it in bold to make a bird of it.

1975, Easts, City Ford.

 

[Willow]

100% correct Ted.
Over to you.
