Scubby Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Pretty much can't move an inch without being overwhelmed by all the GB news, merch, annuncements rolling in left right and centre. Thought everyone had waited years for this return? England RL social media is just posting away as if the GB tour doesn't exist. England elite squad announcements, World Cup 2021 stuff etc. Guess no Sport England funding can be spent on GB stuff (who would have thought?) It's as if the game is embarrassed it is actually happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the RFL aren't going to publicise this then certainly no one else is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have hit the nail on the head right there I bet the other nations involved aren't even giving it a thought either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hallucinating Goose Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I can't help thinking with how little is actually being said about this tour, with how little publicity its getting in the media, we could literally cancel it tomorrow and hardly anyone would even know.

Mattrhino Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 We might be able to purchase some merch a week after the tour is over. No better time than November to buy a replica jersey or a t shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkw Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Do you not think they have held back because of all the other things going on the past month or so? Concentration has been on the ground breaking game in the Nou Camp and the Magic Weekend surely. I always thought advertising was best focused on the next thing to a point, so hopefully as the season progresses the build up to the GB tour will heighten.

I don't know how many times I've seen you slate the GB tour and I've only discovered these forums a few weeks ago. Considering the state of promotion and advertising in RL in general, you could apply the same criticisms across the board. You may be highly aware of England RL announcements, I wonder if it has anything to do with you following them on social media? Here where I live outside the heartlands, England RL or superleague gets as much coverage as the GB Lions tour, nothing. If you're that against it just leave it be and let those of us looking forward to it do just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cdd Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 As always... if you’re going to do something do it properly. Rugby League regularly fails in this mantra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they have nothing to do with each other and wouldnt co-ordinate these kind of things at all? Surely they will have some contact with each other.
