The sponsorship department are going to have a busy off season!
The commercial sponsorship department at an NRL club is the board and CEO.

In the fullness of time we will see how the new board and CEO go with the commercial side of the job? They have 850K pa to claw back.

The club has a Sponsorship and Corporate Partnership Manager it was Aaron Warburton up until last year and I'm not sure who replaced him. There is a few people who work under this position.

THE fallout from Canterbury’s disastrous Mad Monday celebrations has continued with a second sponsor dropping the NRL club.

Shorts sponsor Wicked Sister Desserts on Wednesday said it had terminated its agreement reportedly worth $350,000 over the incident and the Bulldogs’ handling of it.

In a significant financial blow, it comes four weeks after major sponsor Jaycar ended its 10-year association with the club and pulled its back-of-shirt sponsorship worth $500,000.

“Today we informed the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs that Wicked Sister Desserts will be terminating its sponsorship of the club effective immediately,” the company said in a statement.

“Wicked Sister Desserts is a family-owned business and we share the same family values as our customers. What has occurred is completely unacceptable.

“We do not in any way condone the behaviour and nor do we support the response by the leadership of the club in the way they have handled this matter.

“We accept that there will be some who criticise our company for taking this decision but our company and brand stand for certain values and behaviours, and we expect the same levels of decency and respect from those we align ourselves with.”

The Bulldogs were slugged with a $250,000 fine by the NRL, however that amount was halved after the club issued their response to the governing body’s breach notice.

Adam Elliott and Asipeli Fine were fined $25,000 by the club ($10,000 suspended) and charged with wilful exposure after being photographed naked at the Harbour View Hotel in Sydney’s The Rocks during post-season celebrations.

The pair will appear in court on October 24.

Marcelo Montoya and Zac Woolford were also fined $10,000 ($5,000 suspended).

The NRL came down hard on the club because several senior officials including coach Dean Pay and football manager Gareth Holmes were present at the function.

Shouldn't Wicked Sister and Paul Polly be thanking the club? I mean we've just given him an easy out to explain to any investors/shareholders/backers why the company is now $350k a year up from previous. No questions asked.

Talk about a free kick at goal!

Now...remember this is a company that is pulling out over the Adam Elliott incident.

Yet this is how they have advertised previously.

SEXUAL INNUENDO

So it's NOT okay when a bloke nudes up at a private function 3 storeys up out of public view, yet it's fine to flog your shitty desserts using sexualisation of woman and sexual promiscurity.

Sleazebags much?


They even used Adam in one of their promos...sickening family values

Whilst I'm on a rant.... sponsors come and go every year from clubs and you hear NOTHING about them. A sponsor leaves the Bulldogs and instantly it's front page news.

We only need one person in an executive committee to advocate for us, and generally, it is harder to hide a personal bias by other members when it's in the advocacy process.

However, those that do have a bias only need the one incident to throw their weight about "this is unacceptable. You said the club had cleaned up. We can't be associated with this".

It's very hard for our club... people just don't realise that it is because we have such a large supporter base, those that don't *absolutely despise us*.

Fuckem. Why didn't they terminate when it happened?
With a name like "Wicked" where are their family values? Get outta here!
They waited for the news to die down, to get maximum exposure.
Must be friends of dib.
Fuck the *****.
