http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/leag ... -tjj4.htmlStorm board member Gerry Ryan, whose company Jayco yesterday increased its level of sponsorship to help offset the loss of ME Bank and superannuation fund HOSTPLUS, has been mooted as a potential buyer.
While major sponsors ME Bank, HOSTPLUS and fourth-tier backer Skins yesterday withdrew their support, Jayco and Suzuki have taken up the slack and their names will appear on the Storm's jersey tomorrow night.
Jayco said they would stand by them and Suzuki also intend to continue supporting the club. "It's been a solid partnership over the last 12 years, and we plan to stand by the team while it rebuilds after this difficult period," Jayco marketing director, Andrew Ryan, said.

That's what I said as soon as ME Bank left. Jayco should look heaps better.I love Cooper wrote: I guess if you look on the bright side, no snot green thing.....
I did notice that during the united departure from this afternoon's statement that all you could see on the back of the players was HostPlus logos... how long (and how much is it going to cost) before we outfit the team with new training and playing gear? Has KooGa made their decision as yet?

Glad Suzuki are sticking with us. Otherwise I would have to sell me motorbike and buy another make.

yes indeed He told us to hang in there and that everything was going to be ok and that we wouldnt fold.storm_rhinos wrote: in a good way?
On another note, when Robbie Kearns spoke of the NRL reconsidering their decision to play for no points this year, did anyone else get the impression he knew something?

Foxsports said a phone link was held and the NRL board didnt reverse the decision and supported it

Our gear will probably look pretty scrappy for the rest of the year. I imagine they'll run out with Jayco and Suzuki stickers or patches to cover the ME Bank and Host Plus logos on the jersey. Off-field gear will probably only be patched up for media appearances. Even if KooGa drop their sponsorship I'm guessing they'll continue providing gear for the rest of the season anyway.
Perhaps our heritage jersey will be without ME Bank and Host Plus logos.

On another side note, don't you just love how all of the news items covering the Storm drama are taking great pride in doom and gloom headlines and speculation (the club folding, we got what we deserved, sponsors leaving, other teams and codes circling our players etc.), but there are no headlines stating that Jayco and Suzuki are sticking by us. They bury that news under the headline "Financial pain continues as shocked Storm sponsors make hasty exits". :roll:
