Re Gary Johnston & Jaycar … This is from an article in The Australian by Brent Read in February 2016 ….

Pascoe also revealed the club had reached out to long-term Canterbury sponsor Jaycar, whose agreement with the Bulldogs ends this season.

Jaycar founder Gary Johnston is a long-term Tigers fan but the club faces a battle in winning him over after he insisted he would have no involvement with the Tigers — either as a sponsor or potential private owner of Balmain — until he saw some evidence that the club was moving forward.

Johnston admitted he gave brief thought to making a move on Balmain but opted to keep his powder dry. “I entertained briefly the thought of it last year but frankly I have gone off the idea,” Johnston said.

“At this stage I have no interest in doing it. Wests are always approaching me with a view to sponsoring them. My sponsorship with the Dogs finishes at the end of this year. Wests found out about that and said ‘maybe Gary will sponsor us’. Most of the conversation with Wests has been with a view to sponsoring Wests Tigers.

“At this stage I have basically desisted from that. My reason for that is I have very little faith in Wests Tigers’ management ability. They seem to lurch from crisis to crisis.”

But Pascoe said: “If he has a problem with how the club is run I would be happy to sit down with him.”
