Your not missing anything, most pointless "Promotion" i have ever seen. For me its actually quite cringey to watch.

I was a fan of the Johnny Vegas commercial last year tbf, at least that caught the viewers attention - With this one we have no chance.

The brownle brothers add seen it on my iPad it’s not bad

Really? To sum it up for the people that haven't yet seen it, Ben Currie can plank for 6 minutes, Mike McMeeken can cycle at 420w consistently for 30 minutes, Kallum Watkins can do a decent box jump and George Williams is good at a beep test. How this advert will attract someone new to watch our sport i do not know.

Absolute shocking, I reckon anybody with a basic knowledge of movie maker could make a better advert than that. Show our product in a high quality ad like the NRL do. Or better yet use someone like we did last year but intercut with clips, hits and tries. Or one like the NFL has just done for the AFC Championship game (Jacksonville vs New England) with John Malkovich which is pretty awesome!

I know Wakefields Tyler Randell was at some marketing shoot earlier this week.

Whats alarming is that his leg is in a metal cage! Must be waist up only

Absolutely nothing. Not surprised but utterly disgusted. I feel for the players who put their all in to the sport but are massively let down by its governing body and will end up kicking off the season on a cold Thursday night in front of a half empty stadium.

To be fair I’ve received a lot of promotional material from Leeds and some from the RFL.

I’m not sure why the bbc would promote the start of the season, they don’t have the tv rights.

it is quite possibly the most cringeworthy thing I have seen in quite a while......if the SKY set the standard with the Sam Tomkins and Bradley Wiggins

then they have found the opposite with this trash

I appreciate the effort to try something different, and don’t underestimate big celebrity endorsements. The Brownlee’s for example have a combined twitter following of over 350,000. Their followers are obviously fans of impressive athletic performances, which the add was highlighting in Rugby League.

sorry, but I've seen better school plays...it makes us look lie a "crossroads" type sport, with wobbly sets and wooden acting

What's worse is that it is so patronizing with the wording of the script (I don't think they'll be able to do this, oh I'd be having a cup of tea right now). Ffs. We are a professional sport with professional athletes. They'd never have the likes of Owen Farrell or Harry Kane being patronized by other sporting athletes.

I like the Brownlee brothers and what they have achieved. But it's very frustrating to see them (who obviously love the sport) be like that towards our athletes (even though I assume it's all scripted). I have no idea who from the RFL thought this was a good idea but they need sacking.

A simple advert consisting of big hits, tries, breaks, celebrations and desperation with a voice over over the top of it would have done more for the game than this trash even if it would have been a generic advert.

Then have another advert building up to Warrington vs Leeds. A video, a history of Warrington/Leeds rivalry starting from black and white clips (retro) from the 60's to 80's then hit colour with various clips from Super League meetings between the two. All voiced over with a distinct voice (ala Voss in the SOO ads). Finishing with a clips of both captains staring at each other over the SL trophy to show what they will be starting to compete for. 'The road begins here' type of feeling.

I actually think there's similarities between the wiggins ad and the brownlee one. If you dislike one I'd have thought you'd dislike both.
