And quinny... come back and defend the NRL on this one with some serious arguments!!!!
Ok man im not one to back down, but by god its going to be hard.
I saw this ad about 2 days ago and to be truthfully honest i didnt give a crap about it, all i was thinking was "9 days to go, who cares what the f**k they show me" eg camel comment. (which you do have to admit would be wicked, seeing a camel run over by a scooter would be comedy gold)
Dogs, St George and Newcastle will always feature in these ads because they are the most popular teams in the comp.teams like the roosters get shoved down our throat cause they have been the best team over the last 2 years. Penrith won the comp and people wanted to see them in an ad with a trohpy cause it wont happen for a long time now.
The NRL focuses on Syndey based clubs like the AFL Focus on Melbourne clubs, Cause thats where all the money comes from and where the majority of the codes support comes from.
I dont know what you have against St George tho dood, When all players are available they have some great players. plus as i said they have huge support and cover a fairly large communities.
Also John howard goes to onion festivals and loves it, so we are trying to win back little johnny by showing his favourite team in the NRL ad campaign.
Its all about money these days dood, how many people from Wagga support league? lets say 20,000. Of those how many go to an NRL game a year? maybe 40. Why should they promote regional teams as much?
If Canberra got the decent crowds like Brumbies did im sure Canberra would feature more in the NRL's plans. Till then they will continue to sit in the shadows while Sydney based teams get the easier ride.
Dang it ive done a whole assignment today man, just concede defeat and make me happy. I dont even know if i made sense or answered the question FFS
