I find the radio silence on Henry Raiwalui very strange. Now maybe I haven't read or listened to the relevant announcements, but all I've seen is he is being named in the 21 squad and that's it. Is he injured? Doesn't have the necessary Visa yet? Has left even! I find the Broncos 21 squad's at least include the eventual match day 17. But I'm never convinced the remaining four are all available.

When you've been following Broncos for a few more years, you will see this as just par for the course. Just rejoice in the Gold Lounge having a sponsor (Twitter).

The club social media posted the obligatory Sydney Airport departures photo of him, so I at least assume he's in the country! Maybe carrying a post World Cup injury and/or his fitness level isn't where it needs to be? I think he is in the footage from training the club posted the other day, but who knows?

Appears to be a real sponsor as well. So double cause for celebration.

I think he played in the capital challenge match. If it was him he made one or two dashes that looked sprightly but unclear whether he played long minutes or came off with a knock. Bottom line just like the PNG player he isn’t improving our match day performance.

As a sponsorship op, it's fantastic for the real estate agent. I say this, because every time the club mention the gold.lounge, the aylsbury rental company will get mentioned and we know that's 50 tweets a week......I wonder how many landlords from that neck of the woods are on our mailing list?
It's a charitable sponsorship.....fair play to the fans involved but as far as exposure and ROI go, it's the same as Dave flushing a few quid down the drain
