Yeah it’s strange earlier this year Fiji were the first team to announce a 50 man training squad. They were also the first to announce the pacific squad by a like 2 weeks and were the first to announce there World Cup extended squad. I would have thought they were the first team to name there squad but no there the last. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StandOffHalf Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Good squad there for the Kukis. Perhaps they can make a fight of it for second in the pool after all. Looking forward to their game with PNG! I wonder why Kenny Edwards isn't there. Injured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems bizarre that the Dsily Mail would see "governing body trying to get sponsors" is a story. England has Betfred, Ronseal and Reign as shirt sponsors, o not sure why they say we haven't found anyone else to go alongside Ronseal - we have. If the biggest problem we have is that we haven't got a second shorts sponsor we are doing ok. 1 1 I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Dave T Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Just now, Just Browny said: If the biggest problem we have is that we haven't got a second shorts sponsor we are doing ok. Yup. And apparently there will be an announcement soon anyway, so it sounds like we have. But, the Daily Mail wrote a nonsense gossip article, John Davidson retweeted it criticising the RFL and RL twitter prominent fans have jumped on it criticising the RFL. Some of the posts I've seen "not having any sponsors a week before the WC" are baffling. They are a tumour for the game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re probably three weeks out from a World Cup and scrambling around for sponsors. It’s Little League behaviour at its finest from The RFL. They’ve had a year (arguably longer) to sort this out and it’s this late and still nothing. It’s little wonder we’ve gone from Gillette to random, small energy drinks. If a club was a couple of weeks out from the season without a shirt sponsor, especially a certain few clubs, there would be hysteria on here calling for them to be relegated and fined. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidM Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 Moving back from sponsors etc I quite like that Cook Islands squad . These squad announcements are reinforcing the point that this is gonna be the most competitive and best WC ever . Lots of games should be packed out 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have shirt sponsors. 6m ago we announced Betfred to replace Dacia and Reign who replaced our shoulder sponsor. This is in addition to long term partner Ronseal. This hatchet job refers to a secondary short sponsor. Probably one over their *****. It's an asset that may or may not go sold or unsold. None of this is to say I don't disagree with the principle of what you say, but we have three partners, and hopefully they will announce another, I don't think there is much to criticise in this case. Talking about scrambling round is nonsense and playing to the crowd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StandOffHalf Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 (edited) The fewer sponsor logos on national kits the better IMO. They can be plastered on hoardings, on press releases, etc., but I prefer simple, unspoiled shirts and shorts.
