Who owns them (bulldogs), that answers nothing. What is their structure?... where do ALL the funds come from??... Back it up with some facts

The fact is and I have said it many times that an organisations greatest asset is the Great people it invests in

The fact is mediocre management have taken over thriving organisations and ran them to the ground

Another fact is shrewd operators have taken organisation from receivership to thriving business

Great Operators are the ones that generate Growth and $uccess

Laundys hotels are the major sponsor of the bulldogs and are very active in the running of the club including the management of the tpa s .Their agreement with the club I think goes Untill 2032.

I didnt think sponsors were allowed to organise TPA's.????

But they are a heck of a sponsor. Old Arthur is actually a Tigers supporter I think, but has always been involved with the Bulldogs thru his very first pub, The Twin Willows at Bass Hill. Use to be next to teh drive in and he still owns it. The bUlldogs use to party there pretty hard in the 80's, in their glory days

I don’t know if sponsors are allowed to or not but I know for fact they do …and yes agree great sponsor …if only they were sea eagle supporters

Absolutely not.
Yet when Laundy announced he was coming on board to sponsor Dogs a few years ago, he publicly stated he would do all he could to help players, including help them after their footy careers - and no-one said boo about it.
Probably because if it's all on a handshake with a trusted billionaire, there's bugger all way to prove the salary cap breach which is an obvious salary cap breach

it was interesting to hear the QLD players in the post match interviews making statements on how much they wanted to win and win this one for Billy. It was emotional and genuine.
We need that winning desire and passion and im certainly not feeling that from the coach or the players .Its all very scripted and its like they are just going through the motions.

All of the super successful coaches are ones who establish a genuine relationship with every one of their players. Bellamy, Bennett, Jack Gibson - all the same. The players would do anything for them, loved them, because they bothered to see them as human and care about their lives. No amount of speadsheets and bonding sessions does this.

Not sure how we find one of those

The problem being, to get the job you have to impress Scott Penn. And if you impress Scott Penn, the chances are you're not going to impress a group of rugby league players. Or anybody who's got even a casual understanding of the game.

I always thought the knock on Siebold - that's he's too "New Age", speaks in management babble, prefers spreadsheets over hard work, etc - was just rugby league's in-built prejudice against anybody with too much "book learnin'", but then you read stuff about his seven-minute meetings and printed "Why You Suck as a Rugby League Player" bullet points for the players, and it makes me think the unthinkable… Maybe Gorden Tallis and Steve Renouf were right all along!

You don’t think “ Uncle Nick “ provides a raft of benefits to obtain the cream of the crop.

Nick , introduces player XXXX to developer YYYY who happens to be building 20 new million dollar plus apartments at Bondi.

Nick “ gifts “ a Lamborghini to the developer , the developer sells player XXXX an apartment for $200k ( it’s worth 1.8 million ).

No TPA rules broken , player XXXX signs for $650k for 5 years ( he’s worth a million plus ) , everything kosher.

Forget brown paper bags that’s old school , so very many ways to skin a cat.

If the CEO is given the reigns to engage the coach lets start there.

Absolutely not.
Yet when Laundy announced he was coming on board to sponsor Dogs a few years ago, he publicly stated he would do all he could to help players, including help them after their footy careers - and no-one said boo about it.
Probably because if it's all on a handshake with a trusted billionaire, there's bugger all way to prove the salary cap breach which is an obvious salary cap breach

That is a false statement - the NRL put a stop to it.

Laundy Hotels is a major sponsor of the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs NRL club, with a long-standing partnership that includes the prominent placement of their logo on the team's jersey. Discussions about a potential third-party agreement involving Laundy Hotels and a player arose in the context of the Bulldogs' attempts to recruit Tino Fa'asuamaleaui, but this deal was ultimately blocked by the NRL due to concerns about its potential impact on the salary cap.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Laundy Hotels as a Sponsor:
Laundy Hotels has been a major sponsor of the Bulldogs since 2020, with an initial five-year deal that could extend to 2032.
The sponsorship involves the Laundy Hotels logo prominently displayed on the front of the Bulldogs' jersey.
The partnership is described as a strong alignment of values between the two organizations.
The Laundy family has a long history with the Canterbury area and the Bulldogs club.
Third-Party Agreements and the NRL:
What they are:
Third-party agreements (TPAs) are contracts between a player and a company that is not the player's club or a related entity.
Purpose:
TPAs allow players to earn additional income through endorsements and other ventures, but they can also be a way to circumvent salary cap restrictions.
NRL oversight:
The NRL closely regulates TPAs to ensure they are legitimate and don't breach the salary cap.
Potential for abuse:
If a TPA is connected to the club or its sponsors, it can be considered part of the salary cap, as it could be a way to indirectly pay a player more than allowed.
The Tino Fa'asuamaleaui situation:
The proposed deal where Laundy Hotels would offer Tino Fa'asuamaleaui a share in their business, with a guaranteed return, was flagged as a potential salary cap breach.
NRL intervention:
The NRL intervened to stop the deal, as the guaranteed return on investment, especially if tied to the club, could be seen as a way to circumvent the salary cap.

It is also obvious the Great Innovators and Solutions finders always find a way to prevail

Laundy Hotels is a major sponsor of the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs NRL club,

Compliments to the Bulldog CEO who attracted that Great sponsor that is making the Bulldogs club Great

Indeed the Greatest Investment of any organisation is the Great people it invests in

The moral of the story
We are where we are
because we are managed by the people we are with

I’ve decided to get the ball rolling. Here’s a draft ad for tomorrows Sunday Tele;

Wanted
One filthy rich Rugby League fanatic to purchase sole ownership of famous sporting brand.
Preference for a billionaire, but multi millionaires also considered (>$100m).
Must be prepared to lose large parts of personal fortune annually.
Northern beaches location.
Large initial investment required in staff, premises, actually, pretty much everywhere.
Comes with passionate, uncompromising fanbase with delusions of returning to former grandeur (asap).
Golfing interest looked upon favourably.
No time wasters/tyre kickers please.
Send resume to T Mestrov, Brookie NSW

Yes indeed @BOZO ... The current CEO didn't get Laundy on board, It was actually the previous one, who also hired Trent Barrett.
