On 14 February 2018, it was revealed that Auburn Warriors Rugby League Club had been forced to fold due to a failed sponsorship deal involving former deputy Auburn mayor Salim Mehajer. Mehajer had promised the club a payment of $100,000 but the amount was never paid. Auburn Warriors president Fedi Sleiman said "He didn't pay us. He didn't pay a cent, "We don't have a leagues club, we don't have the backing of anyone else, When he comes up with nothing, there's nothing we can do. We can't keep going". As a result The NSWRL confirmed the Warriors wouldn't be taking part in the Ron Massey Cup for 2018. Sleiman hopes a white knight sponsor would emerge to enable the Warriors to return to the Ron Massey Cup in 2019.[4]
