I am surprised that Betfair were interested in sponsoring RL to be honest. The volume of money in their RL markets is pitiful even for televised games. Maybe they saw an opportunity to grow that but it would never have much volume.

Once the trucks hit the motorways I can see thousands of non rugby league fans saying this is the game for us! will we be able to cope.

Perhaps some drivers may ask to themselves who are those people on the side of the wagon and what is super league! or why has that player on the left only got a black top on?

Drove to Birmingham and back today and never saw one Stobart truck on the motorway, I wonder how many Stobarts trucks drive around London?

[i"Stobart chief executive Andrew Tinkler insisted his company were ready to become fully involved in rugby league, even going as far as to suggest players could be offered jobs as truck drivers at the end of their careers."[/i

And have our sponsor decals fallen off? We seem to be the only unsponsored side with the Stobart livery being completed as we look on.

Neil Fissler suggests in a tweet response to me could be the Sponsor for us is being held back to media launch day tomorrow! I so Hope he is correct!

Some folks will think Melling is a ref.

At least the sponsorship of Super League is positive, Richard Lewis and Nigel Woods will be set up for jobs as lorry drivers with Stobart when the rugby league careers come to an end.

We will look like Widnes if Stobart sponsor us.

I am joking, will make us look a bit better and hopefully they can benefit the club. If they don't bring a benefit to the club I would question why we and they have bothered.

Maybe we get extra trucks on the m25? Like the 2000 other eddie stobart trucks in the UK that will not feature anything about rugby league

Keith Senior reckons Eddie Stobart got the sponsorship for £0 ! That's a shame as I would have gladly outbid them. Curious if true, great advertising but really sponsorship of the third biggest spectator game for free! The mind boggles, I hope they paid the same amount for Odsal!

5% of the fleet

Someone else worked out 3% of the fleet, but lets not get worked up over 2% points! I am sure the deal well compares with Aviva sponsorship of the union Premiership £20 million over 4 years, Sky get as much promotion on the trucks! looking at the Leeds Rhinos truck what does it say about the club except for the player?

As I stated on the VT. if the clubs livery wagons also have that clubs contact details then that would be very good. In our case I can see why Mr Hughes went for it.

I would have expected to see at least a mention to the name of Rugby League and the name and venue of the club on the truck?

I would also expect to see contact details. WEB,Telephone etc. I am sounding more like Gutters.

Just saw a picture of the Widnes one and it has on the back doors. " Shouldn't you be following your local team" Then Widnes and the web address. Cannot wait to see the Broncos one.
