Showing yourself up there. The last two years every team had their own version of its our house. Reasonable to think they might do it again.
And I know this is hard for some of you to understand. But an ad SHOULDN'T appeal to us. You don't advertise to the people who are so devoted to your product they spend hours online writing about it on a forum. You advertise to new markets, fringe fans, mums, kids etc. I think it's a bloody great ad.
And again, some people have NFI hating the cut back scenes to mauboy and saying bring back Tina. Do yourself a favour and actually WATCH the Tina ads. Full of cutbacks to her dancing.
And finally the point of the ad shouldn't be to find 2-4 seconds for every team. The point was clearly about participation and making rugby league part of everyone's life. Not about a token titans try.
So in all the crap and garbage I've seen posted in the last few hours there were maybe 3 or 4 posts like this that actually made sense!!! Well said Saint Doc!!!
I would LOVE to see half of you arm chair critics to have to work in areas like this for a day and cop the dribble that appears on forums and the like.
Yes these ads are for the fans but they are also about advertising the game. You semi fan or non fan is not going to pay attention to this if it were on last month so this close to the season is where it belongs. Those same people are also not as close to the game and may not even be fans so this is a attempt at something new to pull them in.
as for shots of teams, there will be 3 ads (NSW, QLD & NZ) and I would say there will be team ones. Not to mention fans can create their own on nrl.com and the NRL will update the ad weekly with the latest footage.
In short I like it and applaud the NRL for their efforts!!!
