They’re ok for a loan shark.

It’s a nice synergy. They loan the people the money to pump into the HBG pokies. Win win.

Good vid, I think most people are aware of the situation, but that was well explained despite being pretty obvious
I wonder what our ratings are like now?

I'm always suss on finance companies being a major sponsor. My memory isn't exactly the greatest when it comes to this but I'm sure Western Suburbs Magpies were once sponsored by a dodgy finance company as were Wests Tigers at some stage.
I can't remember which one, but with one of them, the club needed to chase up promised sponsorship money.
Does anyone have a better memory of it than I did?

Radisson Maine were Wests Tigers major sponsors at some stage, I just saw it on a photo of an old jersey. I'm not sure if they are defunct but I haven't heard that name in years.
However I'm sure there was another, the name of the former Western Suburbs financial major sponsor eludes me.

Yes, this is why I don't trust finance companies as major sponsors. Radisson Maine were Wests Tigers sponsors in 2008, the same year this happened:
Dishonest director crashes to earth
It took three years for authorities to hunt down Robert Bassili, but the effort was justified.

He will probably dye it for game one like he did last year though I really hope I'm wrong.

Wrong!
Radisson Maine were sponsors in 2003 - NOT 2008!
Herbal World was the sponsor in 2004 that went into receivership while in debt to the club....
Both were two bob shelf companies - regardless of the industry.
I'd still rather have Pepper Money than be like Parra and mock the ghosts of the countless asbestosis victims by partnering with James Hardie again in 2025!
Their stadium is adjacent to the Bernie Banton Bridge !

Yep. Hardies were heartless, as was one of their then solicitors, a certain ex Liberal Party deputy leader named Julie Bishop.
As a youngster I was unaware of the dangers of asbestos and regularly used a grinder on fibro walls. I was given very poor PPE by dodgy bosses and came home covered in fibro dust. I now suffer from COPD & have a benign granuloma in my left lung but I'm in constant fear of developing Mesothelioma. I'm constantly getting chest X-rays (which isn't ideal) whenever my breathing gets worse or I start coughing up thick clear mucous.
I hate Hardies & CSR, they might not of known the dangers initially, but they ignored the evidence when they did become aware and fought to limit their financial liability. Unfortunately the same thing has happened with manufactured stone, something else whose dust I bloody got covered with quite often as a young bloke.

So tone deaf from Parra to bring Hardies back - and refer to their "iconic 80s partnership"!!
One of the most insidious corporate entites in Australian history made even worse by their evil delaying tactics in court to limit their liability while multiple victims of their products including long term-employees suffered agonising deaths without seeing a cent of the inevitable compensation payout!
Now they trumpet how much total compensation they have paid as part of their PR spiel - to wipe away all their past sins.... Scum!
Sorry to hear about your health mate - take care!
Do you receive any compo?

No mate. Both of my employers at that time were in their 60s at the time (late 80s) and are now dead, they died in the early 2000s.
I was working as an apprentice for a tiler &:a bathroom renovator, both small operations just them myself and occasionally a labourer.
