Super League Launch

[Dave T]

Now at Headingley (less glamorous than some other years). 

Will we find anything interesting out? 

TV coverage for Catalans and TWP? New sponsors? 

[Dave T]

Great stuff! 

[EastLondonMike]

Pinched this from someones linkedin feed.

 

And more from Gareth Walker. All very positive.

 

[Dave T]

Looking forward to seeing some of the stuff to come out of this.

There seems to have been a launch video which is getting well received........wonder if they will lets us see it at all?

None of this launch is on the SL twitter feed yet.........should be LIVE really.....is it on sky?

[hunsletgreenandgold]

Best part of the launch so far!

 

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

A positive and optimistic thread on here? Could this be the start of a new trend? (please!)

Betfred doubling their MOM payments next season to £500 with half going to Rob Burrow and half going to Mose Masoe.

I hope the documentary will be restricted to Prime members with registered postcodes within commuting distance of the M62.   Otherwise Amazon clearly don’t know how to produce a RL programme.

 

[Dunbar]

Very good news that we have some content on the Amazon platform as the quality there is usually very good and reaches a different demographic. 

Did anyone on here even know this documentary was in production?

Commuting distance?? That’s far too far, five miles from an M62 junction, at the most. 

[Chris22]

Sounds positive! Although the Super League press release says the 4 part documentary is on Sky rather than Amazon.

Season launch video released on Saturday, apparently. Plenty of hype that it’s a good’un (though we heard that last year when it was distinctly mediocre)

I'm praying for no more moody, brooding shots, with a dark back drop, of players slowly turning towards the camera. And hopefully no Jermaine McGilvary getting out of bed. 

Heres hoping!

What was Jerry doing round at your gaff?

Slowly getting out of bed.

He's not as quick as he used to be.

This is great, but does it mean players can no longer pick their own charity?

[Dave T]

So it seems the launch was positive, with a couple of snippets of good media things and a focus on the stars who have joined the comp this year. 

No news on international TV rights or any new sponsors. Fingers crossed that we get a series of announcements this week, but I would have expected new sponsors to have been involved in the launch.

Hopefully we’ll see some actual rugby being played in it rather than players in the gym and getting out of bed.

The NRL always do really good promo videos

I like the ones that marry players and RL culture, like the recent NRL promo showing a ride at night through ‘League land’.

Yeah just read that. Sounds less positive than some of the news that had been doing the rounds on the forum this week.
