2019 NRL Ad Campaign

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

I think it's more about signalling the end of an error. Thurston, Slater, etc, retiring.

Taumalolo, Ponga, Addo Carr, etc etc. They are the new error.

It's good. Spot lighting the players/characters.

Yeh, this is what i mean. They are trying to establish the vibe of the season. Problem is, it will evapoate into the ether by next week...

The only way this kind of thing will ever stick is if the NRL write into the TV contract that this clip needs to be the opening of EVERY broadcast.

Short of that, this is useless.

In summing up, it’s the constitution, it’s Mabo, it’s justice, it’s law, it’s the vibe and aah no that’s it, it’s the vibe

I'm glad it's digital. Cos if it was on film it would be a f**kin' waste of celluloid.

Seriously, what message are they trying to sell?

Needs more Greenberg eyeballing

Why didn’t the NRL wheel out POPEYE to deliver a sermon. It could go something like this...

It’s not about the State of Wank
It’s not even about the Pissant Cup,
That’s what the Rednecks and Yabbies want you to believe,
But I’ll tell you something that only me and the rough crowd down in the men’s shed really understand, if you get my sav.
It’s all about the Shield mate, yep that’s right the Shield,
And if you believe anything else well then you’re just pissin’ in the wind...

The thing that kills me is that i dont think the NRL actually know what the goal is with that ad. What do they want to achieve?

Sell tickets? Nope, no prices or anything.
Spread awareness? Whats the point, it will be in all the papers

I think the real idea is to set the tone/vibe of the game, which is actually a super necessary and valuable thing. But what are 5 ads in the preseason actually going to do?

I think the only way something lime this will get real cut-through is if they write into the tv contract that the networks need to play it before every broadcast. Prime views with these ads right before they actually take the game in

Who reads the papers?

Error or era?

Re the ad I like it.
