Singer Robbie Williams new face of NRL TV campaign

[chrisD]

It's shit, but it's really not an issue as the NRL do such a crap job of pushing this stuff I will rarely ever get exposed to it.

The new commercial was nothing to write home about, RW doesn't feature, just the song.

Watch it here

looked alright and couldn't give a rats that he's not in it

 

[carcharias]

boo

they left out this part


Look me up in the yellow pages
I will be your rock of ages
Your see through fads and your crazy phrases yeah
Little Bo Peep has lost his sheep
He popped a pill and fell asleep


complete horseshit as I expected.

 

[betcats]

I just wanted to see Robbie dance

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Wasn't too bad. Better than last year's.

Oh wait, there wasn't one last year.

it's a safe ad, I think it always gets measured against 'simply the best', hard to live up to.

 

[Feej]

Needs more "Pride of the League"...

 

[Noname36]

Meh. It's alright. Started off pretty good but got boring.

Too much Bulldogs. And that part with the chick doing the goanna is awkward as f**k.

At least every club seemed to get a shot this time so that's an improvement on the last one.

Looks to be pretty popular judging by social media.

Unrealistic ad, the Grand Final footage is in HD.

9 do film in HD but only show it in SD

 

[Brutus]

Where is Noel Cleal?

 

[Nice Beaver]

Looks alright to me.

Of course, I have major issues with the fact the bus in the ad was made in Germany and not Australia. We are not nurturing our own industries
:crazy::sarcasm:

Is inglis pushing a pram?

He's just taking Adam Reynolds for a walk

Filled with Harvery Norman vouchers.

Too many to carry in a bag given his severely hectic life as an over worked NRL player.

I don't think you understand marketing.

Not in the slightest.

"They didn't choose the band/song I want so they're idiots".

The campaign isn't for LU members. It's for fringe and new fans to build interest, and women in particular.

It's a perfect choice.

The ad itself is a bit "seen it all before" but it still works.

Yeah we know. It just makes it worse.
