Because, just say, NRMA, being a local company, do at least hear the garbage sprouted by Jones and Hadley et al well AON wouldn't even raise an eyebrow to what these muppets would say. I had heard through the grapevine that a global was interested to boost their domestic brand exposure. Think they paid $240m for rights at man u. Link to post

Marketing decisions are made regionally Yeah but when Hadley goes off on a "NRMA need to look at who they are sponsoring etc" diatribe, he knows that NRMA is a much known brand to his listeners, putting 'AON' in there instead of 'NRMA' just wouldn't have the same impact because most listeners would be "Uh, who.. whatever.." sonar and Upthehill 2 Link to post

AON came knocking with something new, then the NRMA wanted to extend. The RBB didn’t lose us anything oh don't get me wrong, I don't believe for a second that the RBB "lost" us the NRMA deal. That was just the public narrative to make RBB the bad guys as always. Your scenario is interesting. Carns and mack 2 Link to post

So inadvertantly Hadley could have done us a favour if the AON sponsorship is a better deal. Sweet !!! hoops and sonar 2 Link to post

I just wanted people to be clear on what actually happened here. The NRMA did NOT get the outcome they were expecting. They were expecting to be the knight in shining armour. This deal isn’t done yet but it will be if AON gets its way around some naming rights I believe. No clue on what it is they want named Erebus 1 Link to post

Neverbloom Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 i got a perfect idea, we sign a team worth of players but only sign a coach one day before the season starts(give him a 5 year contract) and when we dont make the finals we fire him.......its going to work tranquilo, Edinburgh, Harvey and 5 others 8 Link to post
FCB Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Or we do what Nix, Smurfs, and Perth are doing: take the time to get the right coach. It's mid May, not the end of September. Last year Joyce and Kurz were appointed in June, Merrick in May. It takes longer to find an overseas manager who is willing to relocate to Australia. Club wants to have this sorted at the end of May. spectacular291 and StringerBellend 2 Link to post

Valter43 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I'd be more upset if they were trying to force memberships now if they had kept gombau. Now he's gone I'm more comfortable handing over my money. Edinburgh, Matto97, theguyyouwishyouwere and 1 other 2 2 Link to post

WanderingToqui Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Not every player is suited to every coaching style. I think Bonevacia can be a beast perhaps with the new coach. A guy who turned it on for the Dutch youth national team and Ajax can surely find his mojo under the right coach. I have faith in him. LetsPele, Neverbloom, GrEmIoWaNdErEr and 1 other 4 Link to post
