Would have come along, but had a fall off a ladder a few months ago, and snapped my leg in half. Just getting back on my feet now, with enough metal in the leg to set off the airport alarms - which is a bugger, as I travel a bit to do the tour guide stuff. Hope to make future forums, though.
Thanks for the update. Much appreciated.
It is frustrating that we haven't been in the 8 for 3 years, but in all seriousness compared with the 2-premierships-in-5-years baloney we had from the last mob (who on the whole were much more worthy of the big shoes and plastic red noses to go with their clown-like performance), this mob are certainly more mature, careful, and honest.
And what the fuck is a port chop?? Has the pig been swilling some Grandfather Tawny??
You ok , mate?
Far out @Chris Harding .. really sorry to hear that mate. Hope your recovery continues to come along well, and you are able to get back to the tour guide gig soon.
Cheers, It is starting to improve. The bones don't knit as fast for a 71 year old as they do for a youngster. Funnily enough, for all the football I played in my youth - this is the first broken bone I've ever had; and I managed to break both in my leg, so the foot was totally disconnected.
Yeah, good. Caught my leg on the ladder as I came down and it snapped both tibia and fibula, which then protruded through my flesh, and bled quite a bit. Scariest thing was seeing my foot flopping around at 180 degrees to normal. Amazing how heavy your foot is when you can hold it in your hands.
any movement on this front??
None that I've heard so far...
Yep, but it’s tough out there. Retail conditions are currently the worst since the GFC and companies are very cautious on their spend not to mention digital is getting an increasingly bigger share of the ad-spend over traditional platforms which would include footy clubs/jumpers.
Lol
Cool. You can travel back to 1992 and adopt your love holland
Not something that is published, but front of jersey (ie; major sponsor) is between $1m and $2m. It varies a lot depending on the team itself and their "guaranteed" FTA TV time. It's also almost always a "package deal" that doesn't just include their name on the front of the jersey, there will be player endorsements, corporate boxes, etc.
So are you saying Steggles would be paying a larger amount to the Roosters whereas front of titans jersey sponsor not so much?
Total sponsor sleeve shorts back and front gives the football club about 6 million. Seeing the football spends anywhere from 20 to 25 million a year. So together sponsor and NRL grant is about 18 to 19 million and the rest is amde up of a grant from the league club.
