[MENACING*STORM]

Just seen on Foxsports that we have a small company by the name of "Suzuki" as our 2008 sleeve sponsor.

Good to see the Storm hooking up with an automobile company again 

Any chance of seeing Storm Man zipping round Olympic Park in a Suzuki ATV?

Suzuki Australia has joined forces with National Rugby League powerhouse and reigning premier Melbourne Storm as the official motor vehicle partner and sleeve sponsor for the next three years.


Suzuki General Manager Tony Devers said he is delighted with the partnership between the two record breaking organisations.


"We are very excited about the prospect of being involved with the Melbourne Storm, undoubtedly the best rugby league team currently going around in the world," said Devers.


"Last year was a great year for both Suzuki Australia and Melbourne Storm. We smashed all previous sales records and the Storm recorded one of the most dominant seasons in rugby league history, including the 34-8 demolition of the Manly Sea Eagles in the Grand Final."


Storm CEO Brian Waldron said the association with Suzuki was an excellent partnership for both the Melbourne Storm and Suzuki and would play an important role in further building the Suzuki brand in Australia.


"We are delighted with our new association with Suzuki in what is a significant commitment by both organisations," said Waldron.


"Suzuki is committed to quality and to grow the brand for greater success and this is very similar to our own objectives."


The Suzuki sponsorship will see the Suzuki logo on the sleeve of the Storm jersey for all games and have key Storm coaches and players driving the latest Suzuki vehicles.
"The NRL enjoyed a boom year in 2007, with attendance and television figures increasing. And the success of the Melbourne Storm made them one of the most watched teams in the competition," said Devers.


"This means fantastic exposure of the Suzuki brand with the team that has been the benchmark of the NRL over the past two seasons.


"With a team boasting exciting talent such as Golden Boot winner Cam Smith, Israel Folau, Greg Inglis, Cooper Cronk and Billy Slater, everyone at Suzuki Australia is looking forward to another fantastic year of top shelf rugby league."


The Melbourne Storm represented the complete package in 2007, and rarely has a team dominated so comprehensively in rugby league's 100-year history.


Suzuki Australia enjoyed similar success in 2007, racking up a record 21,575 sales for the year.


Every model in the current Suzuki line-up enjoyed increased sales, ranging from the stylish Swift light car, the value-packed SX4 small car, the practical Grand Vitara SUV, the rugged Jimny SUV and the popular APV van.


And whilst on the topic of success Melbourne Storm's, joint major partner and winner of the 2008 SuperRatings Fund of the Year and 2008 Money Magazines Best of the Best Super Fund Manager for the second year running - HOSTPLUS has extended their commitment with the reigning NRL premiers as the back-of-jersey sponsor for a further three years. This will take the partnership between Melbourne Storm and HOSTPLUS through until the end of the 2010 season. This deal now also incorporates head coach Craig Bellamy.

And/or some of the cheerleaders doing a lap or two on petrol-sipping scooters?

Come to daddy...... 




Will have paid off the Kwaka by mid year, then can trade it and this is going to be my new toy.

[Mini Chick]

Didn't think about the bike connection! Was thinking that Suzuki was hardly a prestigious car brand...

Oh and I'm not into bikes (clearly!) but TC that thing is hot

[steaming stormer]

Another great sponsorship for the club - everyone see the value of the jersey now... that is huge, particularly when it doesn't include the reebok figures

[Silkin Storm]

If I had to choose a new Suzuki i would possibly be one of these.
