News Bulldogs head sponsor Arthur Laundy calls on Panthers to let Matt Burton leave club

[Natboy]

When's the last time you saw an article or report giving you uncle Nicks thoughts on anything?

Maybe I just don't think Laundy deserves mountains of praise for giving a modest sponsorship and constantly running to the media to get his name in the paper but that's just me. Good on him for sponsoring the club but apart from that he still has a lot to prove and when/if he does he will get his deserved credit from me.

It sounds like he’s been pretty helpful with negotiations & looking after the players and their families too. I’m happy we got a new sponsor I’d actually heard of. Did we end up finding out how much he has sponsored?

I think it's fair to say Laundy has had more to say publicly in 6 months than uncle Nick would in a number of years.

I'm not saying Nick doesn't use his influence. He would be doing that daily. Not everything needs to be made public though.

 

[Tassie Devil]

People really having a whinge about Laudry talking? Couldn't give a rats arse personally.

If anything, it's nice having people talking up for our club again. It's not like he's gaining anything by saying it, is he?

 

[Tassie Devil]

What is our obsession with copying Nick or whoever.

Laundy is being Laundy. We'll see where it goes.

Its a below average amount that I was told from the club but don't have a dollar figure.

I'm sure Arthur will be happy he can get his regular ads in the paper by speaking the media as another benefit to his sponsorship too.

He's done pretty well for himself when you think about it.

I've got no problems with Laundy being vocal. More pressure on Penrith to release him.

After Brandy made it clear nothing's fair let's play dirty and get vocal. Might be controversial but is Burtons mental health being considered?

 

[DoggyStyla]

Instead of talking to the press he should have offered a brown paper bag to secure the release!

When he was at Belmore, scouting our young talent! The guy doesn't need to say much he's the godfather of rugby league, what uncle Nick wants, uncle Nick gets!

If he’s that rich why doesn’t he just bribe Cleary and the Penrith management with an offer they can’t refuse silently. That should do the trick. Just drive past Ivan’s house for a coffee and drop off a bag with $500k worth of $100 bills.

or he could call round with a big dump trunk and drop a $500k load of 5c coins on his front lawn

Love it. Hope he keeps harping on about this until it happens.

Also note it's not about the club, not once has Laundy mentioned we want him here because it will make us a better football team (even though its blatantly obvious) - it's all about Burton and allowing him to get his opportunity. Penrith have made it about them, Brandy's episode on 360 was disgraceful and a PR nightmare. Hope this keeps dragging out as the longer it does the more it will fuck Penrith.

I guess the figure was also below average because it was late in the season and during covid.

It’s what smart sponsors do and yep he’s done well. The media will lap up the comments and as long as he knows where to draw the line I’m happy. I’ve disclosed a business relationship with Arthur so maybe I’m a bit biased but he’s a very smart man and you don’t get that rich for nothing

Of course Arthur is going to do the best for himself and his empire that's in his best interests.

He is going to be the first person journo's ring now because they know he's good for a quote. It's like playing Russian roulette the more you talk to the media the more chance of saying something you don't mean or more likely the media twist the words. With the amount Laundy talks its only a matter of time till it happens and at the end of the day he is currently a sponsor and nothing more we don't need a running commentary from him.

Like a nagging kid. Keep asking until Mum and Dad cave in.
Averillo will be fine, if Burton comes I’ll be moving Avo straight into the centres.

 

[Bob dog]

Uncle Arthur don't take shit, release the boy or we cut off the beer.

 

[flamebouyant]

It’s only round 2 ffs. He’ll play in their top team come mid season. Dogs really need to give up on this shit and focus on averillo. All this bullshit will be affecting him mentally big time

Thanks for your feedback Cleary! Lol

I agree, im sick of hearing about it too. Penrif should just release him FFS!

 

[CrittaMagic69]

How many of you ***** wanted Klemmer to rot in reserves?

 

[flamebouyant]

I know some people here are anti-Laundy but I’m happy with him agitating for a release of Burton. We all know Penrith have no legal obligation blah blah blah but it’s making them look like *****.

Releases work both ways. If a club don’t want you ie Mansour you’re gone. If you want more money elsewhere you generally get a release because clubs don’t want an unhappy player and also don’t want to turn future recruits off. Cleary is a massive hypocrite. Imagine if his chin had wanted a release to join him at the Tigers

If Burton was a star regular first grader on a big contract, and he wanted an early release, then fair enough penrif, stick to your guns. But this is not the case, and he is out of pocket some $300k, and won't be playing regular fg this year. For these reasons he should be released.
Anyway, its not going to happen, lets just move on.

 

[D- voice]

Not really there’s a big difference. Uncle Nick usually just gets what he wants quietly while Laundy shots his mouth off in the media.

Right again Spoon
To me it is attention grabbing...Free advertising !
How long will this go on for ?

Burton is on a minimal contract at Penrith
He would be on 250k if comes to us
Do the calculation flamebouyant
