It's still highly unlikely. I very much doubt decisions on sponsorship are either made in the NW or, in the alternative, that the NW would factor into their thinking. They are a multinational company that have spent millions building a brand - they're unlikely to taint it by sponsoring a Rugby League team. Sad but true.
That said, I suppose if they let local business units make the call its possible but I wouldn't hold your breath. I hope I'm wrong by the way, it would be great. However we've got no chance in reality.
