Apparently Probiz are going to be sponsoring the Exiles match! Are they trying to take over the league?



I've also heard that they will be taking over the Challenge Cup sponsorship next year as Carnegie's contract is up. I have a feeling that Carnegie will take a back step from the game as they stepped out of the WCC too.

Ey well more money in the game cant be a bad thing.

Who's up for the Probiz Super League?

Wouldnt be surprised if Carnegie disappeared from RL with their money worries.

And they're paying for Adrian 'The Assassin' Vowles to come across for the Cas v Wakey game.

He's signing for HKR straight after the game

I have mixed feelings about Probiz. In one way it's fantastic that a company is so enthusiastic about investing in the sport. However in another way I'm not sure it's so good for the sport to be so reliant on one company's investment.
If they do sponsor the Challenge Cup that would be:
Cas - Main shirt sponsor
Cas - Ground sponsor
Fax - Main shirt sponsor
Wigan - Official Partner for 2011
Exiles Game - Main sponsor
World Club Challenge - Main sponsor
Challenge Cup - Main sponsor

That's an awful lot for a company that hasn't previously had any particular affiliation with rugby league.
Worrying if they don't stick around for long. Fantastic if they do.

And, who the heck are they and what the heck do they do??

It's a bloke called Feisal and he does something with accountants that he's very secretive about. You have to be a member of the club before you find out how it works.

They also want to sponsor the World Cup too apparently. Oh, and the Super League when the engage deal runs out.

Edited for accuracy

Cas - They sponsor literally everything available to sponsor.

True, should never really let one company sponser the lot as if that company were to go bust you'd be in big trouble, plus less marketing / exposure for your game. Ideally each comp would have a different sponsor but obviouslly financially need a goo deal.

Firepower springs to mind!

I am sure the Rfl are not resting on their laurels and remain committed to spreading their risk across a number of sponsors.

They will know how dangerous it is to have all your eggs in one basket.

You lot are so funny!!!

Remember the game's soul has been sold to sky tv. No sky, no RL

Eggs in one basket? Already done, big stylee, forget probiz

Now now freddie , we'll have none of that truth lark on here

I heard Fiesel was interested in sponsoring McGoldricks next tattoo

Yes , he's having ' dick ' tattoed just above his eyebrows apparently

then he'd be known as Ryan McGoldick presumably ?

Maybe the RFL could use them to properly audit new SL franchisees to make sure they aren't already virtually bancrupt before they are given a licence ? , or to check if million pound profits in the Championship are actually achievable ?

I bet they don't make a million pounds in the next three years, unless of course SOC moves some of his personal wealth into Charitable Trusts

Hear that Guiness are wanting to sponsor the Super League once the current deal expires

Nothing will ever beat the "Stones Bitter Championship" nor the "Silk Cut Challenge Cup" !
