Quote: Worzel "RFL/SL has a pathetically low profile on social media as a part of the bigger issue of a poor media profile overall. The game needs an serious overhaul and rebranding. Super League is a tired brand and too generic.'"
A quick (and maybe not accurate so happy to be corrected) look at FB shows
London Broncos 6,013
.....amazed they keep up the pretence
Salford 9,327
Widnes 4,377
Wakefield 2,089
Castleford 13,576
Catalan 3,229
HKR 9,613
Hull FC 19,323
Saints 17,336
Wigan 32,797
Leeds 52,310
Bradford Bulls 10,810
Giants 5,128
Warrington 27,279
215k and change......across 14 SL clubs.
The RFL deliver 9,311 and Super league 76,000.
RL representation in the UK on social media is less than poor but the clubs that have made an effort look similar to the clubs with most fans and the clubs with a chance of profitability. Leeds have without a doubt embraced the potential of social media with both arms as have the NRL themselves, both individually as well as collectively.
Perspective:
MANCHESTER UNITED = 38,500,000+
(all of them can't be from Essex can they?)
