Crowe / Souths - Jon bon Jovi is a supporter

[Evenflow]

f**k the states, I'm talking about the headlines and publicity it creates here. ie, Being put alongside a 50 death tragedy on the DT home page.

who said his doing this to promote NRL to america...

His doing this to promote south sydney ....

Australians like american celebrties and thus getting these celebrities to wear/support his team is publicity and promotion for south here in aust...

and if he get overseas support thats a bonus..

WHY DID YOU THINK TINA TURNER WAS BROUGHT HERE ?

It'll still do sweet FA boys but hats off to him for having a crack i spose.

Thinking outside the square, stretching a bit aren't we?

He was wearing a Melbourne Heart shirt during him encore in Melbourne last week FFS. Not exactly some creative genius at work.

and amazingly the entire World plays football so it must have worked

Do not under-estimate the power of the Jovi!

Well if he is trying to impress Australians that he can get Oprah to wear a cap with a bunny on it... sign me up for my souths membership!!! :lol::lol::lol:

Good point i forgot about that. He was named their number one international member before the start of the season a purchased 4 premium memberships for less fortunate fans to use. Again a nice gesture that'll have little to no impact on that club.

Errr hang on, didn't you just say this to me?

who said his doing this to promote NRL to america...

So it it to just promote the club in Australia like you said to me or around the or America like you said to him.....and not to me? :crazy:

Anything that gets the game or the clubs in front of the eyes of the public for positive reasons is a plus. Well done.

No, I am saying that whenever a celebrity is paid to endorse a product, it is painfully obvious that the celebrity has no real interest in the product. If you are sucked in by such cheap tactics then :lol: at you!

Its good to see that he finished with a Johnny O'keefe number.

Suppose he could of snuck in a Col Joy bracket, would of rocked the house...eh Ronnie.

Bon Jovi are still making music? Well there you go

Not only still going, their current tour is the highest grossing out of any band or artist in the world for 2010.

Superior.

The Hulkster is more well known than the Rock

I can't believe that every time Russell Crowe promotes his team and our code that all the petty minded morons here can do is knock him.

What the f**k have the knockers ever done that has positively helped Rugby League?

Russell, like him or hate him, is brilliant for Rugby League. He promotes the hell out of our game and pours a truck load of money into it to boot.

I have nothing but respect for him.

And thats from a Rooster fan.

Good post.

 

[cleary89]

this cheap publicity is worth alot of money...ask richard branson...

I called him and he told me that your a f**king idiot and to kill yourself.

 

[Evenflow]

Its good to see that he finished with a Johnny O'keefe number.

and apparrently by doing that he's created mass hysteria and demand worldwide with people rushing to buy the back catalogue of all JOK's albums with the exposure to it..........just sayin :crazy:

 

[StormChaser]

I asked a close friend of mine who is a marketing guru and also a bunnies fan about this, and she said it's all about "branding", selling the Rabbitoh BRAND, any bonus to rugby league is just that, a bonus. Apparently it's all about selling the logo and making it internationally recognisable.
Her logic is that hardcore JBJ and Oprah fans both here AND overseas will want to own one of those caps simply because it's been "endorsed" by their idol. They'll seek them out, buy them, and the brand therefore gets even more exposure.

I'm sure the Bunnies shareholders or board or whatever won't complain. They know it won't equate to bums on seats, but as a brand, it's going worldwide.

Souths critics: bend over and kiss our white fluffy tails...

Not sure how anyone can possibly have a problem with what Rusty has done. Realistically, its not going to do any damage so worst case is he's lost $170 on a jersey and a cap.

Best case............??

 

[Tigger Madness]

Great stuff as usual by Rusty.

Lots of haters on this site....

I went to a league game with the Bon Jovi lads in the late eighties and also early ninties...my old mate used to and probably still is mates with them (havent seen him for a decade so couldnt scab any tix.)......they are sports nuts and loved the game. JonBJ has a great knowledge of aus and especially the music... man..I could tell you about the parties I went to with them.... a life tiem of stories from that era!!! And the girls.....streuth...that guy could screw a different woman every day of his life from then to now and probably in the future if he wanted to.....we capitalised big time!!!

Doesnt mean anything with him wearing the cap for the code in general...but it spreads the souths brand for a few days.
