Anyone got the word on this? Hopefully this isn't a repeat of previous examples where we've done it for cheaper than what it's worth just to fill the void?

  They're also on our sleeve and sponsor the Panthers as well, I don't think its got anything to do with being cheaper.

  TFF, Bernie has already publically stated that are prepared to ride it out to find the right fit for the club, now take that as you want but that basically says he is not going to sell ourselves short !!!.
  
  People need to get it into their heads we are not a poor club, Parra Leagues is the 2nd highest turn over club in NSW behind Panthers. Wenty Leagues also sits in the top 5!!!

  Not current management, but previous ones, previous sponsors. Not suggesting it is the case here, merely asking if anyone has any inside info. Does seem slightly odd to go from sleeve only to sleeve + back of jersey. Can't rememeber it happening too often at any club

  I agree, I absolutely hated it at first but now I love it.

Imagine them holding up the Trophy all lined up with PARRA on their chests, what a great picture that would be..... On second thought, holding up the trophy would be a great picture no matter what was written on the jersey lol
