Arthur Laundy has been a close friend of incoming coach Trent Barrett throughout the former NSW and Australian five-eighth’s career and the family intend to try and fix the factionalism at Canterbury-Bankstown.
Explains why the club was so gung-ho and tunnel visioned on Barrett.

so as i take it the major sponsorship is the gateway for them to become more involved with the club in other ways? this could be a big get for our club, astute businessmen with many connections, a lot of money and a love for the club is a great combination to have. things are looking up!

Credit for bringing the Laundy Group into the fold goes to John Ballesty.
The fact the Laundys have a relationship with Barrett is a bonus.
What faction is Ballesty on atm? :grinning:

At least things are falling into place, seems like a good move for the club, new sponsor , new coach, hunting new players.!!!!

Well done, happy with the moves of late.
Notice how they mentioned the son is friends with Baz... haha everything is starting to happen around him already.

Where do these so called journos get all this info about the infighting etc etc.... even called our club a zoo....
Not a single direct quote in there would indicate that it's probably just fiction writing in regards to the infighting.

I dunno mate, too much smoke here for it not to be true. Infighting is there but probably not as bad as its made out to be imo.

Yep and Brendan Ballesty works in the hospitality industry - currently for the Laundy’s and used to work at Canterbury Leagues. This is classic dot joining and using your network. Kudos, this has the potential to be much more than a name on a jersey and some bucks in the bank...
