2006 NRL Ad Campaign

[c_eagle]

Does anyone have any details?

I swear, if they go with "That's My Team" again, I'll go over to Fox studios myself and throw molotov cocktails. It ran out of puff 18 months ago.

i think it should be 45 seconds of ray hadley saying the word gibber

 

[Jono078]

Nothing wrong with 'That's My Team' IMO.

 

[wittyfan]

The NRL really need something fresh for 2006. Another round of "That's My Team" would be pointless.

I'd like to hear your ideas.

 

[In-goal]

simply the best

 

[Angry_eel]

They should do something the A-League style with the best player in every team starring in the Ad campaign.

That's a good start.

Anything else?

 

[Moffo]

How about they use their brains for a change and do something mildly exciting

they should use something like the super league add in 1997 but have players passing the ball from famous landmarks (i.e. andrew johns in the amazon passes it to willie mason on top of buckingham palace, to corey hughes in front of a firing squad in indonesia

the concept has some merit but what the hell does a famous landmark like the palace have to do with league in australia???

 

[Moffo]

its something different, something that will get peoples attention. There may be little relevance, but i think it would be cool to see someone like big Willie passing the ball off the top of the Eiffel Tower

Its a competitive market out the Caged, you have to stand out.

How about instead of your fanciful idea, they show them in front of an icon of their team's town or area (eg , with a whole bunch of decked out supporters behind them cheering?

ummm thats allright but sydney has a hell lot of teams and most of those places are suburbs of sydney not different towns.

to be honest hrundi i feel that might come across as a bit boring. Still, id propose the following places:

Roosters - Spring St Cafe
Wests - Ashfield Pokie Lounge
Canberra - Piro and Porn Shop in Fyshwick
Bulldogs - Lakemba Train Station
Souths - The Cleveland Hotel at 4 in the morning

!!

That's my team is still good they just screwed it up this season by trying to get too fancy with the piano/rock crap. They have no idea the NRL.

I used to love when the Fiday night footy came on with the songthat sang "Monday I got Friday on my mind". Not the Lee Kernigan one...... The old one! The old VB ads were great as well. Somthing blokey would be great. F**k this trying to appeal to everyone. It's a blokes game if the chicks like it for what it is, you ripper. If you have to soften of sex it up a bit no way. I don't want an ad with a Steve Price in the dressing shed, shirt off thowing back a Gatorade. Give me a stink, some big hits, a Marshall side step no looky, a Smith Banana & a Prop scoring a try. That's my kind of add. All to the tune of working class man!

I'm not an advertising agent who gets millions of dollars for a client like the NRL.

 

[wittyfan]

No Brett Stewart in the ad for starters. The cross-eyed skeleton look is bound to scare some people.

And whats the deal with those eyebrows?

 

[wittyfan]

I'm not sure. It's all ghastly!
