You only have to look at the success of Nandos to see what an effect celebrity endorsement can have on a product.

Rio has an audience of almost 3 million on twitter.
It stands to reason that if he shows an interest in our sport then so will they.

The fact that the RFL don't take more advantage of things like this continues to astound me.

Quote: tugglesf78 "I prefer a 20 minute "stat attack" from our very own, silver sideburns, creaky necked, uber biased, pro Wigan agenda Phil Clarke

Finding out who made the least amount of marker tackles, whilst subsequently making the most meters per carry is what keeps me coming back for more.

Quote: MattyB "I'm a firm believer that if you can get a number of high profile and influencial people not only backing, but enthusiatically pushing your product to the masses then you are on to a winner. It certainly works in business (Networking breakfasts..etc) and it can work in sport via social media.'"


I agree. People like Ferdinand and Rooney plugging RL does wonders for the game and is worth millions in free PR. It brings the sport to a whole new audience and gives the sport a lot of credibility.

Quote: fleabag "That's an interesting point !

Legends like Alex Murphy argue that Rugby players are well paid (well the one's at the top are) but the amounts doled out to footie players is obscene. Mind you, they charge £70 to watch a match at some footie games. You can't take families to the footie (even if I wanted).

That's way out of the pockets of most ordinary people.'"

I think that's a short-sighted view from Alex Murphy to be honest. Rugby League players are, like most footballers, not public school boys with a sure route into the family business or papa's chums' investment bank, like a certain other sport we know. A RL player's career is generally even shorter than a footballer's. After their career is over they need to find employment for the next 30 years of their lives.

A top-level footballer (or even a copule of tiers down these days) at least should have a decent pension built up from his wages (unless he's deliberatly frittered it away of course).

By the time I was 35 I had 12 years experience of electronics engineering, so changing job at that age was easy for me. That's not the case for some poor guy whose experience is mostly knocking the sh*t out of other poor guys!

I'm not suggesting paying the guys £100,000 a week would be a good idea though, and I'm not sure the TV money would quite stretch that far!
