| Have you seen the Phony Pharoah's potty ramblings on the casforum?
If that's really him, I can't help but wonder how the hell he built a successful business - it's downright embarassing.

| It's what Probiz actually do that means I wouldn't want them as SL sponsors. RL is at the end of the day a "working class" sport and this companies main business seems to be providing tax efficiency schemes to those wealthy enough not to need to benefit from them.
All this at a time when the country is on its knees and fans of RL clubs will be losing their jobs or finding it difficult to make ends meet.

The guy seems good at throwing his money around but no one seems to know where it comes from. Was it Notts county or forest who had a simillar benefactor a few years back and it all fell down like a pack of cards.

What a load of Rubbish. The guy is interested in sport and has a number of sponsorships with Football teams and Cricket Clubs up and down the country. The RFL are more than happy to be associated with PROBIZ (world club challenge) nothing to do with what they do, it's simply down to the fact that he's the main sponsor of CTRLFC. Pathetic really!!!

In your opinion its a load of rubbish, but I can assure you it has nothing to do with Probiz being your main sponsor. The term tax efficiency was used in the loosest form, as it would appear to me that they enable suitably wealthy people to avoid paying their dues by exploiting loopholes in the system. Nothing illegal in that I am sure you will say, but in the current economic climate when the vast majority of people are struggling, there is something morally not right about a company who makes its money in this fashion - which ultimately means the likes of you and me end up paying more to bridge the shortfall.

Apart from it's readily available how he got his wealth, how much he's worth and why he's throwing money at sports.
PROBIZ will have offered the most money for the sponsorship, so there's no problems with them being the sponsor of the league.

Surely the RFL have to consider more than just the money on offer when selecting a sponsor?

Im not sure what your point is...? You don't think Probiz are a big enough name for SL or Probiz are somehow dodgy?
Maybe the RFL should have asked Glover to consider 'West Yorkshire Windows Super League'?

| I couldn't give a monkeys who sponsors SL but lets be honest unless your a hardcore fan or at least follow the game, you wouldn't have the foggiest who Probiz is, just gives the impression imo that Super League is small fry.

Not really, with him owning a SL team and all that.

Nothing immoral at all.
I would imagine a good percentage of supporters are self employed or directors of businesses and use the services of an accountant and the accountant will ensure they are tax efficient.

Why do you think it would be a Castleford thing? Get a grip you imbecile, Probiz do sponsor other clubs in the RFL, such as Wigan where they are an associate (means not the main) sponsor and at Halifax (you remember them, the club that bailed you out last season when your clueless club turned up for a televised game with the wrong kit) where Probiz are the main sponsor. So as you can see it is not likely to be a CTRLFC thing at all.
Going back to the main point of the thread a sponsor is a sponsor. If they are prepared to money in then it should be good enough for us. Even though some people still don't get it as a governing body the RFL are not in a position to be beating potentially better sponsors off with a stick. Just as long as there is no conflict of interest as defined by the RFL rules then I don't see the problem.
