A nice try, but NRL is caught out
THE NRL has wiped out the family hill at Shark Park from its new television commercial.
This sensational try scored by Gold Coast Titans winger :lol::lol:Kevin Gordon:lol:last season now has a back-drop of ANZ Stadium at Homebush.
Check out the photos - the real one has an almost empty hill in the background and the other features a stadium with amusement park rides behind it.
So we rang NRL marketing boss Paul Kind to find out what was going on.
"The NRL's advertising agency has been secretly working on the development application with the Sharks," was his tongue-in-cheek response.
"The Family Hill always had a jumping castle and fun rides, but in the new world it will be something else."
Other scenes in the advertisement have been digitally altered as well, including Braith Anasta's match-winning field goal at Parramatta Stadium last year.

So there's no rollercoasters in the swamp behind the northern hill at shark park?

f**king hell, my little boy is gonna be shattered when I take him there one day, I can't believe the NRL would lie to us through song, I hate when people do that!!!

yeah, the accurate one throwing another stone.....

After reading this startling revelation, I hope they change the records to reflect that it was Kevin Gordon & not David Mead who scored that try. Maybe Phil was dizzy after riding the rollercoaster ?

And here I was thinking Jon Bon Jovi actually sang live in the middle of a footy game and sparks fly when players score tries. Thank you for enlightening me Phil.

and when a team kicks a field goal, the posts light up in the team's colours!!

Yet noone seems to be concerned about the ball causing ripples in the space time continuum...

I dunno... I'm pretty certain that Morris actually DID score a try by diving through a ring of fire

I recall a game a couple of years ago, and I swear that Morris put his foot through a ring of fire over the touch line too. Ref didn't see it so i guess it didn't happen:?:?

I don't think they get how petty and ridiculous they are. Just occurred to me that they are the lowest common denominator and thats why they cater to it.

Who cares? It' the leagues wasteland we are talking about here.

Some scum fans thought the ad was real and that is what the new stand looks like.
(they don't go to many games down there - too far)

The real reason this was digitally altered was to hide the large group to the right.This group consists of many underage age drinkers that can clearly be seen pissing and vomiting on each other and are quite unaware that football is played at the same time as their drinking games commence.

Youre just giving the f**kwit more publicity.

Dont you guys get it, everytime you post a Rotfeel Weedler or DUI article, youre doing WHAT THEY WANT - ie: get people to read their dribble.
