No , it's rubbish 

If they get to a standard where their games can pull n reasonable sized paying crowds why should they not be paid.

Didn't the RFU once say it was unreasonable to have semi-pro players.

 Go and sit in the dunces corner at Twickers.

TWP announced afex as their currency partner an ongoing partnership

interestingly it was plastered all over saints socks tonight and their plastic interview board 

As I understand afex they are bloody huge with a presence in most money markets globally offices in Manchester and Dublin as well as Toronto 

they sponsor ru clubs soccer clubs and the rabbitohs as well as na sports teams 

I reckon they may be looking at the transatlantic angle and have sponsored the world club challenge in the last 2015 or 2016 I think 

Might be them or an associate

AFEX have previously sponsored the Rabbitohs as well in the NRL, so they have definitely been moving around Rugby League for a few years now.

GBP 1.8m is a significant chunk of money for a brand to invest, I wonder what the game is giving in exchange as a lot of the obvious sponsor spots have been taken (Naming Rights - Betfred, Referees - Ronseal & Patient Claim Line, Ball - Steeden & Betfred, Magic Weekend - Dacia, Video Ref - Patient Claim Line, Official Peas Partner - Mushy Peas)

Maybe they'll do something similar to Heinz a few years ago and give a spot on all the team kits, although do all the clubs have a spare spot?
