How this advert will attract someone new to watch our sport i do not know.'"
I've just watched it and it's terrible! I can see what they've tried to do but it hasn't worked and it just cringeworthy, there's no class about it.
A far cry from:

www.dailymotion.com/video/x1aar36
and a fair few others.
However, away from this one advert shown to only those who might be sat in front of the tele at a coincidental time, that's even if they have subscription packages (many don't); i have not seen any kind of advertisement for the new SL season.
I live in Manchester, the place where the GF is held. You wouldn't know that RL existed at the moment. There's absolutely nothing anywhere about it. |

At the heart of that is a decent idea, but the execution is bloody terrible.
If they'd interspersed examples of other athletes, and used RL match and training footage to compare and contrast, it might have achieved the objective - which I'm reasonably sure was to show the level of fitness and athleticism of RL players.
That effort however, is insipid and completely uninspiring; very poor indeed.

Isn't Prince Harry the Rugby League patron or something like that? Wont get much higher profile than him, especially with what he has going on this year. |

Yeah im sure he wouldn't have had any real commitments around the time of filming. I don't really see the great fuss about it, I think the Brownlees profile combined with their interest in the game is about right and its not really any more wooden or cringe worthy than the adverts that have gone before, theyre not actors. |

I think we are seeing that as a shallow gesture, he will probably watch around 50 Union games before he watches 1 League game. Don't think he has ever gone out of his way to promote the sport. |

Firstly give him chance I believe the lads rather busy at the moment - it may shock you but the world doesn't revolve around RL.
Also he and William are on record as liking the sport as youngsters whilst I believe Prince Philip as a bit of a Fev fan. |

When was the last time we saw a Super League advert that actually contained some Rugby League footage though? Serious question . . .

That’s the problem. To your typical rugby league fan the world does revolve around RL. Cracking post though!
