Tina Turner

[myrrh ken]

I think a super group of the following would do the nrl justice

 

[Albert Rosenfeld]

I would prefer that they bring back Remi Casty.

I was the idiot cowboys fan in the howdy hat in the 2004 commercial.

true story.

I’m not s fan of the AFL but their “I’d like to see that” ad campaign was probably the best of any sporting code in Australia, way better than Tina Turner (who’s ad campaigns I did like).

I guess I’m now supposed to wait for the vitriol from El Diablo and the like for saying something positive about AFL?

Happy I don’t have to see that gimps comments anymore. Dick cheese

This guy should get fired for being so unoriginal. How do people like this get away with such dumb shite no accountability

“We’ve got to think of something cool around Tina to mark the anniversary,” said the NRL’s commercial boss Andrew Abdo

Is he an entertainer of some sort?

Good enough to make Albert moist

I haven’t read that many posts of yours Albert, but why is every single post about French & British players? With a few Roosters posts in between

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

I reckon Jessica Mauboy would absolutely nail a cover.

This was the hope back in 2013 when Mauboy was doing the ad.

Honestly, i think they should do a song and stick with it for a few years. The last iconic RL some was Thats My Team (kept for 5 years). Everything since has just evaporated as they dump it for the new season.

Shhh! You're evoking the NRL's demon word: "consistency".

Blasphemy!!

 

[Life's Good]

I loved that era of league(coincided with my high school years)but Tina Turner will be pushing 80 years of age this year.
I somehow think her up on stage with a zimmer frame doesn’t send the right message for the athleticism & physicality of our game.

 

[Knight76]

Billy Idol? Aussie? Am I missing something here?

Come on give em a shot, they totally silenced the crowd with their GF pre game show. A real show stopper.

 

[davi]

How about this one? Yes? No?

How fortunate of you, keep it that way.

Why the hate for Tina Turner? Imagine this setlist for GF pre-game:
* What you get is what you see
* We dont need another hero
* Nutbush city limits
* Simply the best

Mind you, if they can't get Tina then they oughta shell out the $$$ to get the Foo Fighters on for 30 minutes. Well worth the expense.

'She doesn’t travel much these days so it would be hard to bring her out here but we’ll be looking at something special'

LOL no shit she doesn't travel much anymore NRL,she's 140 years old

I just wonder if they couldn't get someone to dub in modern heroes for the stars of '89. Keep the same footage of Tina, just have her groping the Gen Is.

Had to laugh at PK on 360 last night.

Told a story about interviewing Quayle about doing the original ad. Her manager rang and said, "You have to shoot it in 1 day in London, Tina said to bring your best looking player to the shoot." The Canon thought, "No worries, ET is playing at Leeds , it doesn't get any better than that."

He flew over but ET was unavailable so the best he could do was Gavin Miller and Cliff Lyons.

Afterwards, Tina's manager comes over and says, "Tina took one look at your best and wondered what you left behind!"
