I just read this. But LOL.

Always happy to get laughs. Hopefully it was as funny as seeing a grown man in an Ironman fancy dress costume.

I see your point but it just amazes me how melodramatic some of you guys get over the most trivial things! I'd hate to see how you guys handle real life tragedy...

Well that's kinda my point in a way. The entire exercise of supporting this team is trivial. And it's things like this, when they happen enough, that tend to wake you up to that fact.

yep....absolute scandal :sarcasm:

The "one-off"-ness of this jersey is kinda ok in isolation, but it's not a one off.
There's the commando one for Anzac Day, the numerous charity shield ones (one which was black with a red V, very North Sydney-esque), and heaps of away strips over the years - they seem to change on an annual basis.

Surely it all flies in the face of being a RED V member.

I think that it's marvelous!
Though somewhat ironic.

Lol. That Godzilla nickname should go too.
A play on words linking illawarra to a make-believe monster just isn't what we're about.

 

[Mr Red]

Can someone explain what's the cross promotion all about? Is there a new marvel movie or something? Is it an NRL initiative or an ISC initiative ....as it seems only the Teams with ISC jerseys Doing fancy dress??

For the record if it's simply about generating revenue with yet another one off jersey I would have created a special jersey with reg Gasnier in full flight on the front to commemorate his death and the match day promotions associated.

Louis' right of course, but you could post that pic on just about every thread in this forum. The whole game is pointless entertainment for consumption. The illusion that it's something more seems to be falling away

The thing is, the target audience isn't the same as it was in the glory days.

It's just one empty stadium after another, and the salary cap has well and truly eroded any tribalism (what the game, and our club, was built on).

The traditionalist approach isn't working. It doesn't sell out stadiums, doesn't get kids interested, doesn't bring in money. How can you expect young people to have the feeling of ownership of their club, with the game of player musical chairs the salary cap has resulted in?

There's no real local derbies anymore, because only a small percentage of players that play in them have that personal connection. Clubs are just franchises now, to think otherwise is in contradiction to how the NRL has made it.

There's bigger fish to fry than a one-off superhero promotion.

If the Nrl were smart the salary cap could actually be used to address most of your points above regarding player musical chairs and lack of tribalism ... Smarter and better cap discounts for local juniors making it to first grade and also for long serving players would see clubs and players more willing to invest time into long term associations.
However although the NRL have made very small steps down this path, the truth of he matter is the salary cap under its current form penalises clubs for long term investment , and is simply aiding those clubs looking for quick fixes regarding success...

Exactly, and all the while new fans have nothing to 'own'.

The last point:

6) How do we follow up on the success of the superhero jerseys?

Put your thinking caps on folks.

I understand the NRL is already looking at what can be done in 2015 after fans rallied to buy the one-off strips for the Roosters, Dragons, Cowboys, Raiders and Sea Eagles.

If the 20,000 sold figure is correct, that's an injection of over $3 million into the NRL merchandise market.

Jersey prices are a huge issue with me, but it seems if you hit the right nerve, the fans will pay whatever the cost.

So what is next?

Cartoon characters?

"…And here come the Bulldogs dressed in their SpongeBob Squarepants attire. Doesn't Josh Reynolds look good in that white shirt and tie!"

I'll leave it with you!

See you at the footy this weekend. I'm off to call the Warriors and the Sharks in Auckland.

Now that is something I would pay to see!!! The Dogs wearing a spongebob square pants outfit!!!
