This is already good marketing for Rashays. I didn't know they were a chain (have walked past their Darling Harbour restaurant) and thought they were Indian place. Now I know they're a chain and they're not an Indian restaurant.
I'd never heard of them before this. They've certainly got their money's worth.

If not for the Darling Harbour one I would be the same and to be quite frank I only noticed it because they had a pretty maitre' D.

I don’t see why any reasonable contract wouldn’t have a clause about behavior that negatively reflects on the brand (association) that led to them sponsoring the club.
I should imagine any sponsor involved with the NRL has that clause automatically inserted by the NRL these days.
Yep, exactly.
I should add that I don't really see why a company that promotes this:
The Sydney restaurant chain changing lives through true inclusion
Australian family-owned restaurant brand Rashays Casual Dining recently announced that it is working towards making each of its 22 restaurants deaf-friendly by 2019, rolling out the initiative
is going to the NRL with sponsorship and not expecting trouble, but the conspiracy theorist in me thinks that from a branding perspective for the restaurant, it's kind of a win-win or at least there is some risk hedge, because if there are no problems the sponsorship deal puts your brand in front of people all over, but if it does go wrong, you can pull out, recoup some investment if you structure the contract the right way, and get lots of free press about being on the right side of things - strengthening your brand positioning.
Although they had been their sponsor for quite some time now(hadn't they?) This was all about renewal??

Schoolgirl sex scandal costs Bulldogs new $2 million sponsorship
Canterbury were just hours away from announcing a new major sponsor and even had jerseys made.
The Bulldogs were on the verge of announcing the two-year deal on Tuesday night, having agreed to terms with Rashays after long-time sponsor Kia left the club for the Brisbane Broncos this year.

Sweet
Just not main sponsor. Been with the club since 2014
Rashays had first joined the Bulldogs as a sponsor in 2014 under Raelene Castle and Ray Dib's leadership.

After the hilarity of yesterday, the season begins tonight with the Eels and the Dogs
In a great piece of news for the Warriors, RTS is actually still in doubt. FML
Any predictions for the year?
I would love for a breakup of the Roosters/Storm stranglehold. My problem is the teams best placed to do that are the Raiders (fuck Ricky Stuart) and Manly (fuck Manly, and fuck Des Hasler). I also hope Bennett and the Rabbits fall in a heap. And the Sharks collapse.
I think i could handle the Eels doing well. And the Tigers (pffft hahaha). Obviously the Cowboys (i will actually make an effort and go down to check out their new stadium). Pretty much everyone else can die in a fire.
Oh, and in the first real shock, guess which club doesn't have a single 5-day turnaround? One of only 2?

Broncos and Warriors?

so close, but you picked the wrong deadbeat team. The Titans the other one.
As if the NRL would ever flick the Warriors a bone

A remarkable uproar for a story with no victim.
Nobody was hurt, ( quite the opposite), except, I guess, the sensibilities of sponsors and the public.
The lads will be severely punished for jeopardizing an income stream, with no weeping victim to show for it all.

Game 1 of the season was a fizzer. Defense was okay, attack was piss poor. Eels win 8-2 with a 65th minute try
Only funny thing was the introduction of the "captain's challenge", and it was predicatbly a joke. Footballers are too fucking dumb to use this properly. The Eels wasted theirs when a prop convinced the captain it wasn't dropped, it was stripped. In a huge shock, that wasn't overturned. Everyone LOLed at the Eels for being fucking idiots and wasting it on at best a 50/50.
The Dogs then said "hold my beer" and used it on a play where they dropped the ball, it got shunted around by both teams, and all i can imagine was, they hoped there was no vision of them knocking it on. There was. Shane Watson applauded the TV on both occasions.

"the lads" have effortlessly done some further "
jeopardizing an income stream" cutting the guts out of a vital financial sponsorship, the biggest the Club has, by pissing all over yet another:“(local construction company) MPA were recently notified by Canterbury Bulldogs management of the off-field allegations relating to two Bulldogs players,” MPA said in a statement.
“As a result, MPA terminated our sponsorship agreement with the Canterbury Bulldogs on Wednesday, which was a high performance partnership with the coaching team.
“We are disappointed that circumstances have required this action, however it is imperative that the values we strive for are reflected in the organisations we choose to align with.”
Look, really, you are right, nobody important was hurt - "the lads" each jagged a root or two and their contract payments come from an ATM after all. What's not to like?
And no, the Club bar staff and cleaners can't claim to be "weeping victims" when they get fewer shifts because supporters have fallen away. They were going to end up with less work because of the corona virus anyway.
People who don't agree are being over-sensitive - yes, most assuredly. .... cash strapped parents of teenage girls who pay for their admission tickets, school principals who decline the offer next year, morals na z is, former club captains on walking sticks with rickety voices who are old and know nought of the modern world, volunteers who now find better things to do, families that set standards not by reference to statutes and regulations but by their own expectations (how dare they!) young mothers who are about to decide what young Siam's going to play next year who suddenly do a 180 and start googling "soccer".
It's amusing alright.
Canterbury-Bankstown RLFC is $2 million plus worse off this Friday, with poorer future prospects, than it was last Friday and the reason why is crystal clear.

Broncos look good taking care of the Cowboys.
