Quote: Il Fanatico "The NRL has 143,423 followers on Twitter and 624,803 'likes' on Facebook. Not sure where you're/they're pulling those figures from. I'm guessing it's a collective rugby league total, but that's extremely ambiguous. Sonny Bill Williams has 336,398 on his own...

Agreed on most things. Especially the need for a neutral body made up of business people. Letting the clubs vote on the title sponsor is a joke. That's the governing bodies job, to make decisions for the good of the game, not for a clique of needy clubs.'"


Now count the followers and likes for each individual club and 4.7 million followers doesn't sound all that unrealistic. The NRL teams have roughly a combined 2 million followers on Facebook and Twitter. The NRL itself has an easy 1 million followers and likes across both. That's 3 million right there. Throw in the Intrust Cup, NRL One Community, NSWRL etc and you'll easily find another 1 and a half million likes and followers. Seems unlikely that you'd need to start counting players to hit the 4.7m figure.

At least they're counting down under, I bet nobody here is. The NRL actually has purpose-built "mission control room" initiative for big events. A fair sized room of experts tracking, engaging, promoting and measuring the event.

Fairly cool stuff but bet it costs a bit.

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 icon_lol.gif.....amazed they keep up the pretence icon_lol.gif
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+ icon_eek.gif (all of them can't be from Essex can they?)

Just an observation but paying silly contracts to past it, never were, never will be, pension seeking crocks from the southern hemisphere is not conducive to money being kept in the game in this country.

I still wonder why clubs think it is different and cost effective, especially when their accounts are negative in either debt, turnover, balance, profit & loss or a combination or even all.

But then all I know is 99p is not £1 but neither is £1.01, a concept I suggest is beyond some.

If they were average attendances, directors of Super League clubs would be doing all they should, after 17 years of all that SKY money.
