Futtocks Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Has anyone contacted them about this yet? Edit: just seen the corrected version, so their inbox is probably giving off smoke right now.

Dave T Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Whichever agency they are using wants sacking off. Although whoever is responsible for approving that at the RFL end also wants sacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 In all seriousness in the place I work I would be in serious trouble for doing a cock up like this. I can only imagine a very junior employee did this and no one quality checked it or tested it. Maybe it just further illustrates what a shoddy operation the RFL is and many of these activities seem to be one man band generic efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality this type of thing wi be done by a third party supplier/agency, they don't need to believe in RL. They should however know the branding of what they are promoting so that is a shocker. But this will also require signify from somebody within the RFL marketing/commercial team too so for it to go through those checks and go live is not acceptable. But we should remember that things like this will be done at relatively junior levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pay experts to do it. The fact the experts cocked up and it wasn't picked up at sign off stage is an issue though. I would actually be looking to see what compensation I could get, or even termination of contract. But it is likely to have been signed off by the RFL too.

Much of the online content that I see from the RFL looks cheap, shoddy and generic and the branding is pathetic. In all seriousness I would be embarrassed to produce much of what the RFL does and it would not be acceptable where I work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
