Wests Tigers new sponsor

[Ubsy]

I think they used to give a Proton car as the major prize on Wheel of Fortune at one stage there.

I think they could "enlarge" the emblem a bit to fill the jersey as it looks a little
"naked" going by that image.

I argee. Increase the size of the logo and wording and I think it would look great.
Anything is better than that Herbal crap.

 

[Parra_Eels]

they sponsor norwich city in the english premier league and it looks pretty good on their yellow jersey.

 

[tiger_nick]

Looks fantastic!!

JFTA were great for us this year, not sure exactly what the story was but after Herbal World fell through a few weeks before the comp started the bloke who owns JFTA kicked in $500,000 to help the club out. He was a life long supporter and good mate of Darren Senters. I'm sure it went something along those lines. Anyways they sure got their moneys worth!!

Good to see Dean Collis and Shannon McDonnell on show. Those blokes will make names for themselves next year as Farah, Fulton, Halatau and Gibbs did this year.

so if any WT players get involved in drugs the head line will read as
" tigers take proton pills!"?

Great News for the Tigers, hopefully they can pick up alot more sponsors as a result of the grand final win.

Not funny.

lol hope he doesn't want to be inconspicuous.

fancy driving around in a car like that.

I happen to be an automotive enthusiast... and all I can say is: God I'd hate to be driving around in a West Tigers company car now!...

Proton make some of the worst cars money can buy (I'm surprised they even charge you), especially the Satria; which became infamous for its spontaneous engine fire scandals of 2000...

Of course I don't expect much of Malaysian engineering... having never heard of it...

One thing to note: Proton is owned by Mitsubishi who themselves are having severe fiscal difficulties...

I can't see this sponsorship being long-term at all (through no fault of the tigers)...

Have Cronulla's sleeve sponsors even paid the club yet??

:lol:

 

[Timmah]

Clearly Cronulla haven't paid the NRL yet otherwise they'd have a premiership :lol:

Is that what you do, is it??

I'll get me cheque-book!!

 

[Timmah]

Think about it. Brisbane have won five of the things, the Roosters and Bulldogs both have one in the last few years...

Why do you think Newcastle almost went broke less than 5 years after their last premiership? :lol:

 

[hybrid_tiger]

I know someone who owns a Proton Satria GTI and he has been wrapped with it.

Plus, the GTI looks great and has Lotus Handling.

:lol:

No. They are currently in administration. What does that have to do with anything?...

Clearly Cronulla haven't paid the NRL yet otherwise they'd have a premiership :lol:

We are a club built on morals and integrity... we wouldn't stoop to such a level...

Plus, the GTI looks great and has Lotus Handling.

BAHAHAHAHHAAHA

Come on mate... you and I both know how much bullshit, that is...

Lotus are makers of track-built light-weight inexpensive supercars, which are designed to outpace much more expensive rivals...

They handle quite amazingly, and no Proton (LOL) will go close...

No bullsh*t - handling by Lotus. And from people I know who have driven one, they handle great.

Proton actually own Lotus anyway.

 

[hrundi99]

Whether or not this is a long term agreement (2 years plus?), it has been a success in that it has lifted the value of the jersey and the subsequent naming rights.

Even if Proton are out the door in 2 years for financial reasons, the price will be set.

There are many benefits in long term arrangements, but this is a good start.

I'll reserve judgement until I drive one. I bet your friends who've driven the Proton haven't driven a Lotus to compare.

 

[Eye of the Tiger]

The new Proton GTI's although not my type of car do have the lotus Suspension Setups as Proton tookover Lotus. There four they now share smillar platforms as it is cheaper ETC. It is much the same way as Ford-Mazda

I'm sorry mate but if you think the Lotus and Proton "platforms" are the same (or similar) then you're kidding yourself.

The Australian divison of Mitsubishi is a worry, the Japanese division are doing fine, the more evos they release onto their market not to worry. They need to bring back a new VR4

Good thing for Aus is that now the Evo 9 is locally delivered so it not as expensive as previous models.
