That tracks with what I had heard about XBlades situation in regards to another club.
Now hopefully the Waratahs pick up a better manufacturer.

At this rate they won't have any pro teams next year. Gws looks gone as well.
Confirmed: Broncos going with ASICS from next year, will start with NRLW
Link to the announcement?
It was on a cricket Australia post on Facebook

You can also clearly see the asics logo on the broncos players shorts (which look like they are player issued).
Nothing for 2021 is confirmed from this at all, apart from the Brisbane Women's team wearing Asics in the 2020 NRLW competition.
Why would the women’s side be wearing ASICS if they men wouldn’t be next year? They wouldn’t get such a big brand to make their gear for a four game league if they weren’t continuing on next year. If that was the case, they’d get a local company like Classic to make the NRLW gear
Simple, brand exposure. Sponsor a team even for a short time still shows that the brand is interested in women's sport. If it doesn't continue past this year then they still has shown a level of commitment.
However even with that, I never said that it isn't possible that the sponsorship will continue and will also include the men's team next year, but a photo of one team does not make it a confirmation of all. No announcement or a leak of products, no confirmation, just continued speculation.

Or, as asics is a partner of the bronocs, asics are being kind by supplying the nrlw side while the nrl apparel sponsor is being sorted out.
Either way, it has been said earlier on this or the isc forum that it will be asics taking over from isc.

Well that'll mean that Sharks Kokoda won't be worn this season. There's another three jerseys that haven't been worn yet this season. These are:
Titans Heritage
Eels Alternate
Panthers Away
With one round and finals remaining, I'd say there's little to no chance that any of these four jerseys will be worn this season! But, you just never know when a team could show up wearing one of them!

Wallabies will be looking for a new sponsor as Qantas won't renew the deal. Also will affect ffa and cricket.

Qantas pulls out of Rugby Australia, Wallabies sponsorship deal
Qantas will end its 30-year sponsorship of the Wallabies and cease financial support for the Socceroos and Australian cricket teams in a desperate bid to save money.

Was told that the Dragons are going with Classic, by someone whose mate works at the club - but who knows if that’s true. XBlades still had a year to run on the deal.

Waratahs had 2 years left on the contract. With all the claims being made, xblades are at about an 85% chance of having no pro teams in 2021.
This this light yellow element on the front new?
Have been told the same. XBlades not doing well on the financial front.

The latter part of the tweet is a given and very common knowledge, even stated in multiple press releases.
But put two and two together.
Why are the Force back?
Their biggest backer/supporter is now the person throwing big money at Rugby Australia and sponsoring the national team.

Fmg being a sponsor does make sense, especially with the re introduction of the force.
Force are back because of money and the fact that a 4 team australian comp (which is now very likely) doesn't work as well as 5.
