Podcasters have much to answer

-

IT’S the $2.1 million preChristm­as present Cronulla bad boys Josh Dugan and Andrew Fifita helped giftwrap for the Sydney Roosters, all as a result of their boneheaded behaviour.

The NRL’s reigning premiers yesterday capped off a memorable year when they announced a new three-year sleeve sponsorshi­p with IKON Services Australia.

But this is the same company that was previously in talks with cash-strapped Cronulla before deciding to head in a new direction because of negative publicity, including the incident sparked by Dugan and Fifita’s infamous podcast rant.

It follows revelation­s last week detailing the Sharks’ dire financial situation that resulted in 10 staff being made redundant on the back of the club’s $3 million loss in 2018.
