Harrison out to spoil old mates' party
Josh Rakic and Daniel Lane | July 26, 2009
Bronson Harrison has not played finals football since 2005, and the ex-Wests Tiger says he will have no qualms relegating his former teammates to a fourth year in finals oblivion.
Harrison will line up at Canberra Stadium for the Raiders this afternoon in a must-win clash for the Tigers; a loss will almost certainly rule them out of finals contention yet again.
"I know how they must be feeling - I've been there before, but I won't be doing them any favours," said Harrison, who will line up against his former club for only the second time.
"It's not a good record to have and I know the boys want to get the monkey off their back, but I'll have no problems ruining it for them.
"I haven't played finals football since the grand final in 2005, either, and while we're still a slight mathematical chance, I'll be giving everything I have to make sure we get on top of them."
Even if it means ruining another season for good mate Robbie Farah.
"We've played together from juniors all the way up and Robbie likes a bit of chat, so no doubt he'll be giving it to me a bit," he said.
"We still see each other when I'm in Sydney, but there's no friendship on the footy field."
Meanwhile, the Wests Tigers have promised to pay a bounty of $100,000 to any agency that can secure them a major sponsor for next season. Proton is re-evaluating the extent of its commitment to the Tigers next season.
"We're hoping Proton will remain as a sleeve or shorts sponsor and we'd be pleased to have them stay in some capacity because we enjoy a great relationship," general marketing manager Brett Clarke said.
A statement on the club's website said: "There is no better statement of the strength of your client's brand than a major sponsorship announcement. This emotive and tangible medium over any other has the ability to connect with the customer on a number of levels.
"Sport in uniquely ingrained in the Australian psyche and a sponsorship statement of this magnitude is the ideal opportunity to gain the ultimate cut-through."
