Ambulance Chasers... http://www.rugby-league.com/article/51658/super-league-strengthens-commercial-portfolio Have to say, we're truly reinforcing the General Public's opinion of what Rugby League is with some pretty bargain-basement type sponsors....I await the Pound Shop to be rolled out as another "strengthening" of our commercial portfolio

What’s wrong with them it’s only the video ref thing they are sponsoring has Tesco say every little helps

Well, if we want to improve the image of the sport, this isn't going to help.
The NHS is woefully short of cash and whilst there are plenty of other "no blame no claim" companies out there, do we really want this type of association ??

This isn't about Wakefield, it's about "The Game" and personally, I'd prefer "Big Soup" or "Mushy Peas" to this type of company.
It's disappointing that this is the best we can do to draw in revenue and "lift" the profile of the sport.

Nearly As embarrassing as diggerworld. Before the likes of little Wayne and vastman pipe up, I said “nearly”. Wakefield still set the bar when it comes to embarrassing

As long as they’re not paying in trucks, who cares? Gambling and companies like this are prominent sponsors in most sports, especially gambling.

There are some very stuck up pretentious RL fans on here. If someone’s offering a wad of cash we need to take it.

Don't know about pretentious but surely there are limits. Unfortunately we also have these parasites operating at club level already. I know times are tough but the only positive is that you can't get any lower than an ambulance chaser so any future sponsors can't be worse.
