Conflicts with Telstra so I don't think they will be allowed by NRL

Double standards for the same competition.

Don't they already sponsor the Warriors?

 

[The Eagle]

Yeah they do,i think its the Vodaphone Warriors to,as we are until the end of the year the Quantum Sea Eagles

 

[Andrew..]

All I hope is that we get a major sponsor on board ASAP, some of the doom and gloom thrown around on here has made me a little nervous.

Guy's we played as the Pepsi Sea Eagles in the Coca Cola 7's (and won it) Personally I think the NRL should mind there own business in sponsorship regards  

 

[Jerry1]

New sponsors Mr Lowe maybe chasing:

Ok Tedi Sea Eagles (Cyanide Sea Eagles). Big in PNG.
Maori TV Sea Eagles (The Manly TV's!!!!) Co sponsor Victoria's secret.

 

[DSM5]

Agreed Ant.  I can't see why the NRL get their knickers in a knot with this issue.  I don't really think anyone is likely to change phone connections because of a football sponsorship.  Anyway vodaphone aren't into sports betting or are they?  
Victoria's Secrets would be awesome.  Huge money in woman's lingerie.  We could get into Lingerie League as well. 

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

The Warriors are only allowed Vodafone due to them already having them on board prior to Telstra sponsorship

That Centrebet sponsorship is apparently a big increase on what we are currently getting for that spot

 

[DSM5]

Centerbet would be great.  Solid, long term and highly profitable sponsorship.

 

[eagle-rock08]

Restriction of trade - per trade practices act??  Not that I am a lawyer.

 

[Berkeley_Eagle]

**** the NRL have stupid rules, companies want to spend their money and they dont want to take it

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

I can understand where the NRL stands on this one

Telstra would be paying massive coin for naming rights of the competition, so naturally they wouldn't want to see a competitor in the same sponsorship market

 

[eggson]

So is it saying we can have Centrebet (if they did decide to upgrade) on the front of the jersey and as main/major sponsors, but not allowed to be called the Centrebet Sea Eagles?

I wonder who else is in line to sponsor us

 

[Chip and Chase]

Telstra are a 50% owner of Foxtel along with News and PBL. Hang on don't Foxtel have the rights to broadcast the NRL on Fox Sports, and aren't News a 50% owner of the NRL ? Sounds a bit incestuous to me, someone should look at getting some independant administration into the NRL to avoid these embarrassing conflicts .

You do the math as to why Telstra's exclusive advertising/marketing rights are protected.

 

[Matabele]

Fantastic.  Why not just put Winfield on the front of the jumpers and be done with it.

Fantastic.  Why not just put Winfield on the front of the jumpers and be done with it.

Because betting agencies don't affect families as much as cigarettes do.
