Not sure IKEA need any help with getting their name out there.

I doubt Emerites, Chevrolet, JD Sports, Vigin Media ect don't need their brand selling but they still sponsor sports teams. Rugby league needs to start shaking off the small, northern sport tag and start bringing well known brands into the sport. only then will our profile raise and only then will blue chip sponsors start taking interest.

Actually Ikea is a great call, i've no idea why thats not been mentioned before, and as mentioned wont mess about the with the colour scheme of our shirts like bensons for beds or one energy.

Not a rumour but I see Seb Ikahihifo is leaving Huddersfield with Salford interested. He was great a couple of years back, could he do a job for us in the front row if Tetevano 's demands prove too high?

Yes. We should 'clean up' with them next year.

Agreed

My Mrs went on the "IKEA diet"....She'd only been on it a fortnight and her legs fell off!

I always liked the idea of Hull FC approaching Guinness to be a sponsor...."Not everything in black and white makes sense....." and then footage of great tries, big hits etc.

Not quite sure I get your point here, as Emirates have sponsored us, and Virgin sponsored London. It doesn't necessarily follow that they have, or will in the future, put more money into the game than a smaller company.

For me, the best way to promote is through the media rather than shirt sponsors, with column inches in the national press, and more widespread coverage on BBC (not just in the north), and more adverts on Sky in the breaks during other sports. Shirt sponsor deals will be helped on the back of this.
