I don’t know about anyone else, but I think there should be an email from the Blitz expressing our displeasure with the lack of professionalism from our club’s sponsorship department.
If a double-up occured due to all players being sponsored, it wouldn’t be flash, but semi-understandable.
To be told Alana Barba is available, then we end up in a double-up while other players are without a sponsor… that’s simply not good enough, and an ass kicking is deserved!
If it’s similar to the mens sponsorships, each player can have a certain number of sponsors, and if a sponsor expresses interest in a player and there are spots available, they are able to sponsor them.
I get that it would be preferable to spread the sponsorships across the list, but if a sponsor wants a particular player, would the club want to say ‘no, there are other players that need sponsoring first’ and run the risk of losing the sponsor?
