I'm not sure if this is an extra point or not, but: still not paid staff, academy player or SL players' wages owed?

Are things a bit quiet in the marketing world in NZ? Or have you knocked off for Christmas already? I don't know where you would have found the time to type all that stuff!

Same again at end of 2013 season, in fact no mention of end of season awards apart from those by a few players on social media.

You're wrong about Selco though, they're national, not local.

The embarrassing ad-hoc presentation of departing players at the end of the 2013 season is worth a mention.

depends on the font, the bleed of the page and how much you want to pay icon_cool.gif

If I made it up as a T-shirt, would it sell?

Let's face it, Gus needs to be put up against a wall and shot.

Maybe we could have a whip round to see who gets to do it! Make some money for the club I'm sure!

Quote: wire quin "Selco deal was found and set up locally by the Broncos.'"


Of a fashion.

It was the Foundation and the RFL development people who started the conversation with Selco about working with the development groups and funding RL development programmes that could be matched, much like the East London project with Hard Rock cafe.

It was in advanced stages when Gus got wind of it and within a week he'd sold out the London RL and the Broncos Foundation and agreed a main shirt deal with Selco - for a pitiful amount of money.

It was this - as well as numerous other things in the lead up to it - that led to the Foundation manager at the time resigning. Foundation manager was never replaced, Foundation no longer exists. Well done Gus.
