Love this little bit of marketing in the Liverpool Echo "St Helens reminds me of Sydney says coach Nathan Brown" well Nathan that is something I have never seen!

Interesting that Brian Barwick has been appointed as the Executive Chairman of the RFL from February 1st, Ex Chief Exec of the FA as well as working in TV sport, a lot of experience, but I wonder will this be the answer to turn the game around at Red Hall!

It's massively more expensive to advertise on TV in London, and you're only promoting one club. Advertise on Granada and YTV and you're promoting the majority of clubs.

I think the Broncos and the RFL have done well in using new media as a more affordable and trackable marketing tool. The advert is on YouTube for all to see. They can see how many people have seen it, where they live, who referred them etc. The Broncos makes good use of Twitter. More bang for buck that way.

It is funny ain't it. But have you seen who sponsors the NRL?

Telstra - 50% owners of the NRL with News until this coming season
Bigpond - part of Telstra.
BEER - VB, a crap beer.

And more and more NRL clubs are sponsored by gambling institutions.

the NRL and Superleague are 2 totally different organisations, representing 2 different sports with different rules.....the NRL is #2 sport in Australia......the Superleague is on par with speedway.

BTW, Gambling institutions aren't foxy bingo associated with that scumbag Jeremy Kyle...I'd welcome SKY owning 50% of the comp (they bankroll 90% of it already) and VB ........i'll give you that one

$11 for 6 tins over here....every now and then I buy 6, put them in a small white bucket, cover them with Ice, don my 2003 away shirt and dream of better days gone by and to come for the London Broncos.

Hope you remember to open them all before sitting down

This is a great advert for RL:- www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2Q3LQGHEl8 Its really noticeable the way that the press hush up Sir Bradley's support for RL

So ads in Evening Standard, local papers, Sport magazine, A*stralian Times, Radio Jackie. Maybe the RFL have chucked us a few quid for marketing this year?

Where was the ad in the Evening Standard?

The only RL I spotted yesterday was a small piece on Sir Mac receiving his well deserved new deal at Leeds.

In the ES sports mag...

That's Sport magazine isn't it? Nothing to do with the Evening Standard.
