NRL warned of sponsor exodus over stream of off-season scandals
Full financial cost of scandals yet to be seen
Jack de Belin remains in State of Origin contention
Australian Associated Press

Thu 14 Feb 2019 09.30 AEDT

A sports marketing expert has warned the NRL faces a financial fallout for years to come as a result of rugby league’s scandal-plagued off-season. The code has stumbled from one ugly headline to the next over the summer and some are tipping that it may result in a backlash from sponsors and exodus of money from the game.

The NRL will, as expected, announce a profit when it unveils its financial results at its annual general meeting later this month. But Ben Parsons, founder of the Ministry of Sport, said recent controversies would be leading companies to question their investment in clubs and the game in the months to come.

NRL player Jack de Belin pleads not guilty to alleged rape

“You’ve got to remember the way planning cycles happen for clients,” Parsons said. “They don’t wake up and go ‘I want to sponsor a team’, it doesn’t happen like that. It’s at best a quarter away, at best, normally a year. All your missed opportunity, you see the problem in six-to-12 months. If you look at the Westpac group, their plans are four years out, they’ve got plans for 2022 already.”


Cronulla have already lost three major sponsors in Opal Solar, Bang and Olufsen, and Martec while the Andrew Fifita and Josh Dugan podcast scandal forced a prospective backer to pull out of a five-year deal worth $6m.

Parsons accused the NRL of not pressing home to players their responsibilities as brand ambassadors. “No-one’s actually showing [the players] what good brand is, the NRL are hopeless,” he said. “I put them in my top five worst administrators for brand and reputation management for individual athletes.”

Parsons said basketball’s NBA exemplified a winning approach. “And the reason is because they understand ... LeBron [James] doesn’t go just because you play well on the field [that behaviour doesn’t matter]. They’ve got a very holistic attitude on what the player signs into.”

Meanwhile, NSW are refusing to draw a line through Jack de Belin’s name for the Blues’ State of Origin defence as he fights against a rape charge. The NSWRL said on Wednesday they had not made a decision on the St George Illawarra lock’s eligibility and wouldn’t consider the issue until closer to the series kick-off.

Ben Barba banished from NRL after domestic violence video

De Belin on Tuesday pleaded not guilty to the aggravated sexual assault of a 19-year-old woman in a Wollongong apartment in December. The matter has been adjourned until 17 April however a swift resolution is unlikely with similar cases regularly spanning 12 to 18 months.


The issue will undoubtedly raise its head should coach Brad Fittler select De Belin for the 5 June series opener in Brisbane, though that may be unlikely. Fittler is known to be wary of having any avoidable distraction compromise his side. Last year he warned said he would blacklist any player whose contract negotiations threatened to upset team harmony, lamenting the fact nine members of the losing 2017 squad were involved in talks with clubs at the time.

But the NSWRL say it would be premature to not consider the 27-year-old. NSWRL chief executive Dave Trodden said the state’s governing body did not have an opinion on the issue this far out, and it would only be considered by the board if De Belin was picked by Fittler and his selection panel. “We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. It’s hypothetical at the moment,” Trodden told AAP.

De Belin has been cleared to continue training and playing with the Dragons, with the NRL saying he is entitled to the presumption of innocence. The Rugby League Players Association also warned against pre-judging the incumbent Blues back-rower amid a growing debate about whether he should be allowed to continue turning out for the Dragons.

Yep. Been a disastrous off season. It will be interesting to see how the tv ratings hold up. If there was ever a reason for them to dip this is it.

Ch7 news just reported Gil McLaughlin was a guest speaker at an NRL CEO conference

The NRL is in the midst of a public relations crisis. Club chief executives will meet in Melbourne on Friday with player behaviour at the top of their agenda. AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan will be the guest speaker, many in his code no doubt privately enjoying rugby league’s woes. https://www.theaustralian.com.au/sport/ ... c9c6a7ada1

Finally, the NRlilL will receive some intelligent guidance on how to run a league.
I just hope Gill can hold back his laughter.
Oh, who am I kidding. Of course he will. He's professional!

In a massive win for the purists.
With the Sharks losing their Jersey front, back and sleeve sponsors the players will be almost ad free.
A great initiative. More clubs should adopt this. It a great look for the players.

Watch this space.
Other clubs could be forced to follow.
