Its what they pay. not what they sell that matters most.
(2021)
Cowboys $9mill sponsorship, Dolphins $10mill (2023), Broncos $13mill
Sharks $4mill, Panthers $6mill, Bulldogs $3.6mill

Its hard to argue that Sydney clubs arent struggling a bit in this space

What are the sponsorships of the regional teams like GC, Newcastle and Canberra?

Another stupid post from @Iamback.

Cowboys cover all of NQ from Cape York to Mt Isa and Mackay, but it's obviously difficult for everyone across such a vast area to travel to games on a regular basis. Active support in the form of game day attendance is primarily drawn from a 20 to 30km radius of the team's stadium. From a commercial perspective and non-ticketed membership perspective the entire NQ region can support the Cowboys, which they do enthusiastically. From a game day perspective the bulk of fans are from the Townsville region.

Have you told your CEO Jeff Reibel this? He seems to think they travel long distances

“Seven of our 12 home games are set for the Saturday afternoon or evening timeslots at Queensland Country Bank Stadium, which is a great result for our committed fan base who travel further than any other in the NRL,” Cowboys CEO Jeff Reibel said.

Realistically probably less than 10% of the crowd. we cant get people to go 20km in Sydney!

He loves red red wine... so its snoop a loop for rothfield... good drop that is, i might say

Actually yeah I could see that. He looks like one of those blokes (the flush face and slurred speech) who is continually drunk or has had brain damage caused by it.

I’m sure that a portion of their supporters would travel long distances even if the vast majority are from Townsville. I would be actually worried if all of them or vast majority of them did - the potential for traffic accidents would be huge

He is still more intelligent or likeable than James Hooper. Seriously he is the most annoying person ever (well him or James Brayshaw)
I like James Brayshaw, he is like a cuddly Bear..
Besides he aint no journo... presenter, dont confuse your league personalities
