iangidds Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Evening All, A while ago I set out to write my Rugby League film , well its done and it has been very well recieved so far! The film title at the moment is called Try Nations and you can find it on Facebook, please if you will like the page; it is in its infancy but it has got alot of people in the right places very interested. The plan is to make the greatest RL film with the most realistic action ever filmed, but I need you all behind this as soon as possible! Over the next few weeks there should start to be some really good announcements and I hope as many of you in the RL community will be in this from the start! Best regards Ian Giddings Try Nations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulga Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Someone needs to adapt The Forbidden Game into a historical period drama. Surely Mr Crowe would be very keen on the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Skipper Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Always wondered what would happen if Russel Crowe decided to remake the great This Sporting Life. “There is perhaps no better a demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world.” Carl Sagan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talent is secondary to whether players are confident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be right. But have you seen how many times he's had to describe to hosts on TV talk shows that there are two "rugbys"? This would be a good way to popularize it.

Well as its League we will forget about the nuances of union, this will not be a Hollywood style film but a european style film that will work with some keystakeholder partners that propose to put money back into grass roots RL in the Uk and Serbia. what we need from the RL public is positivity as we are all too ready to be negative. regards ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
