Sitcomball

We add a completely pointless laughter track to every tackle. Every game has an extra special message about running away etc. Flagging clubs get special guests in who are introduced to whooping from a fake audience. Rename the matches episodes. Commentary by Norm from Cheers.

That would actually be a good skit on the Footy Show.

Just to check....if they produced a skit of this, would it invalidate it as a serious rebranding idea for rugby league?

I don't think it would matter either way really, do you?

More like 50 percent , it's just that people arguing against me makes it looks like 99 percent

There is no reason to change the name of our sport , it fine as it is , it's marketing that will get it recognised as a different sport to Union , not a different name

I was tempted to say 100% as I don't believe I've seen a positive one, but I'm sure there MUST be one somewhere!


There IS a reason to change the name of our sport, clearly.
You just don't think that reason is a good reason. That's your opinion, fair enough. But there are plenty that disagree (which is why the subject has come up numerous times in the past) so it's not a "stupid thread" (that's the cynic in you complaining about everything again).

For us to change the name , would be to admit defeat

Or be a sign of intent that we don't want to be compared to them.

Sorry I thought the idea was to compare , I thought we had the superior game ?

On the field we do. That's about it. Judging by the majority of your posts, that's not good enough.

Stop ' twittering on ' about my other posts ,FFS grow up , we don't need to change our name , it is fine as it is , changing it wouldn't make one iotas difference to how we are perceived or the attention we would get from the mass media

You're telling me to grow up whilst having a little paddy, the irony!

All of this is just your opinion. You've expressed it. I've challenged it (apparently I'm not allowed to). You're saying we should want to be compared as we're the better game, but all the complaining you do about other parts of the game make you wonder why you'd want us to be compared, and it's a very valid point.

You can't just expect people to discard the other things you've said for no reason and then just do as you say. It doesn't quite work like that.

Nastyball.

Now , now
